Writei on .Pure Food. . ;
' Of ' all tha ' lawa, atata ' or national,
that ' have been paaaed within many
years. It la doubtful If any haa attracted
auch unlreraal attention aa the pur
food bill enacted . laat June, largely
through tha Federation of Women
club, and becoming operatlv tha flrat
of thla year. It la a meaauro that mora
nearly concern tha Individual than al
most any material maaaur for It
reach right Into ih homea of -the
country, and all th homea, both of
high and low degree and tnto every
branch of buatneas almost. But - for
an thla -M la etrange how llttl of th
practical aide of It th bouaekpr I
familiar with and that la tha feature the
woman who war lnatrumantal In cur
ing it passage are now taking up.
Aa and excellent - beginning Mra.
Mary Hlnman Abel leada off with a
moat Illuminating article on the aub
)ect in that wonderfully bright new
magazine. "The Ladle World" for Feb
ruary. In the realm of professional no
one atanda higher than Mra. ' Abet, who
has not alone had the practical experi
ence but haa the technical and theoret
ical knowledge as watt The General
Federation of Woman' oluba la proud
to have Mrs. Abel on It pur food com
mittee and In giving her fine article to
- woman's Journal It will - have wide
circulation and do Inestimable good, a
It so clearly and plainly sets forth just
what the law mean, atralghtenlng out
Its tanglea to tha lay reader and easts
light on lta obscure paaaagaa.
The .article la .under alz different
headings, via.: "A New Not of Ad
vertisement,1 "What the - Law Cannot
Do." "The Statea Must Wheel Into
Line," "The Method of Procedure." "The
Housekeeper's Part," "Read the Labels."
This covers pretty well all th ground
neeeeaary for the housekeeper to know,
and If our clubwomen are not perfectly
familiar with the bill they helped to
create It would be an education for
them to read Mrs. Abel's article. Pure
food measures are destined to be among
the most frequent subject of legislation
for some years to come, and every club
.woman ahould Inform' herself on every
phase of th subject. t-t

WOMEN'S CLUBS AND WORK
Edited by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans
,Club Women's Experience ;
Jin Oregon State Legislature. ,
"' Blx years ago. th woman's clubs of
th state appointed their first legislative
committee and delegated It to go to
flalera and Importune tha legialatura
for a free library bill. For four weary
weeks It Importuned, until . by their
much Importunity" or to get rid of
them the legislature granted the re
ouet with an amendment which mad
their bill . almost Inoperative. Two
years more and , another spell of "lm
portuning" annulled the objctlonal fea
ture of the blir; because th good work
had demonstrated ltaelf. and woman In
legislative work thereby became an ae
cepted factor. "
t Nothing could testify In more pro
nounced terms the Changs in sentiment
and the character of.. the work that
women have done In legislative work
than the difference In the treatment
accorded them In al hort yeara.
In the first year of their legislative
-nr. whlis they '-met, With no dla-
!-"l;ourtsl, the atmoaphar was not con-
genial; tner waa in luinmiMoinui
feeling of being a nuisance and the de
cided Impreaaiort that the men to be
Interviewed were trying to get oof of
your way. " ' '
When the legislative committee of
"the ttt federation wnl to Balem laf
week It waa met on all sides with th
most cordial greeting. , It was sought
out. It was consulted. It was Invited to
nor committee meetings thin: 1J could
attend. It was Invited to th front, and
It bad to use Its utmost endeavors to
prevent Its many friends from asking
th privilege of the floor for It, there
was nq swiftly vanishing senator or
representative Just when he waa moat
needed, and what was most appreciated
of all waa-the respectful treatment
given th measures which- th commit
tee was Interested In.
Four years ago the Btat Federation
Of Woman's .clubs took to th legisla
ture a bill that had been jointly pre
pared by it and th atat conference
of charities and corrections. All It suc
ceeded In was to have a committee ap
pointed to investigate the needs of such
an Institution In Oregon. - At the ees
slon two' years ago tha committee mad
auch an urgent report that 115.008 waa
appropriated to buy a alt and continue
the further Investigation f the sub-'
loot. ,.,.',.
To Professor O. W. Jones, superin
tendent of the school for the blind, was
Intrusted the work of such investiga
tion, and for" this purpose he visited
seven different state Institutions In
various parts of tha United State and
give an exhaustive report In a
pamphlet of some 10 'pages. Of what
he has found ' In hi Investigation both
In till arid In other states. He says:
"There are probably ' more than 1.0M
feeble-minded. Idiot and eplleptlo per
son within the stater-tOreg-wO' ou li
ned for dmllon t th Institution
contemplated, one half of whom ar
cared for at home and do not require
institution car. , - - i
"In view of the facts It appears at
th outsat that th appropriation mad
by-thot--of -last -session? was- in.
sufficient to purchase th grounds or
land required, or to undertak t P re
par plana and specifications for th
necessary buildings. .
The report shows that an Institution
f this kind, taking Into consideration
th future needs and requirements,
should have a large tract of land.
First In order to giro proper Isolation
to the Inmate. Second To meet th de
mands of th natural growth of ths
tat. Third To furnish the inmate
with th products of th farm, thereby
greatly lessening the cost per capita
for maintenance of the Institution, and
also making It aa self-supporting aa pos
sible. . Fourth To afford healthy ' em
ployment and exercise ' for the inmates
confined In the Institution.
The report goes Into elaborate details
on every vital point and the board to
whom It waa submitted, after carefully
examining every featur. asks for n
appropriation of iira.000, which will buy
700 acres of avallabla land and put up
adequate building. ,. .
Th matter ram bfor th ways and
mean committee last Monday and tb
federation committee with a repreaenta
tlv of th associated charities of Port
land waa Invited to be present and apeak
to th committee on the subject., Mrs.
Millie R. Trumbull, Mrs. C C. Chapman
and ths president of the state federation
all made tamest addresses upon th
subject and their own experience in
working en th subject could throw
mutti light upon th needs of an Insti
tution of thl kind in Oregon..
Professor Jones, Superintendent Acker
man, Dr. Winiamaon of Portland and J.
H. Albert of Balern made atrong and
foreaful arguments on the subject and
the Impression Is general that the meas
ure will carry.
After a bountiful dinner at th school
for the blind. ' where th federation com
mittee was delightfully entertained by
Professor and Mrs. ' Jon, it went to
a meeting of th pur food committee.
by special and urgent Invitation. If
thla meeting did not ring with the sama
deep tones of earnestness that the for
mer meeting" had it redeemed itself in
spectacular feature. .
There th female triumvirate met In
mortal combat the heavyweights in
Portland's commercial world. For over
three mortal hour they-played battle
dore and shuttle-cock with the elusive
weights of fruit cans, olive bottles and
the festive sardine, '
"W ar willing to glvs you purs food,'
cried ths Jobbers. "But ws want full
weight," replied th women. "Manufac
turers won't sell u goods In Oregon if
w ask for honest weights," yelled the
Front street contingent, "Boston did
without tea for a principle," meekly sug
gested th chairman of tha club com
mittee.. "Let's compromise." aatd - thf
arbiter of the erlmaon vest. "Never,"
quoth Chairman- Burns; "I waa elected
on a platform of honest weight and there
I stand." ; And there he t still tend
ing when the allver thread of morning
began to streak the eastern sky. Th

the good It does. A sure cure for Rheu
matlant and all peine. Wright W. Lov

On of th left-over regrets from the
Lewi and Vlark fair I th abandon
ment largely of the atata oluba. Two
or three mixed societies hold occasional
meetings, but for any praottcal aervlce
they count for little. Of course, they
War organised for a purpose and after
th advantages to- be derived from them
at thai time had paaaed men generally
were too busy to oontlnu them for
pleasure, but th women should at once
have organised elubs out of what re
mained, bearing their state name.
One of the largest contlngenta la the
New Tork City federation Is the Btat
clubs, which have proved an unqualified
uocea. in th city Ohio haa two so
cieties; southern women generally are
welcomed to 'the Dixie club; South Car
olina has a society of its own, and
there is a large memberahlp bt south
ern woman In the United Daughters of
ta Confederacy, . Indiana, women have
a club, and there, ar many member of
land and California, have branch' of a
national society. New Tork Stat wom
an have a club, and ar active in pro
moting stat interest, th preservation
of Niagara falls being, tb paramount
Intereat thla year.' s '
With women oomlng Into Portland
dally from avery atata in the Union, so
cieties like these would be si blessing
and a help to many who find them
selves "strange ra in a strange - land,"
and to know that there was a club of
women hearing the name of their home
atata, even if all members did not corns
from that state, would be a sort of
welcome to them.

Prominent In Woman
Suffrage Works in Idaho. , :
Mrs. Adella B. Scott, th official hoat
eaa of the Idaho building at the Lewi
and Clark exposition, la a woman with
aa unuaual history. She served on the
school board of Idaho Falls for eight
yeara, during Ave of which she wss
.clerk of . the board. ' She then served
for two years as juatlc of th peace
and declined a renomlnatlon. But ap
parently tHtr towr. wa unwilling to dis
pense with her services, foron va
peace occurring aoon after sh was ap
pointed to fill it by th county oora
mlssloners. Next' th office of polio
Judge became vacant, and ah was ap
pointed to fill it by the mayor. Last
fall shs was eleoted county treasurer of
Bingham county . on the Republican
ticket, and about 1350,000 has already
paaaed through her hands. Mrs.' Scott
Is th wlf of a prominent business man
of Idaho - Falls, who has always be
lieved in woman suffrage, and who la
pleased to ' have her hold these poal
tlon of trust. " ,
Mrs. Scott wa born ln Illinois, and
had lived in Iowa, Colorado and Kansas
before finally settling In Idaho. She
ay that the women of that state are
less strictly bound by party ties than
th men and ar more apt to vote for
th beat man, irreapectlv of party. Sh
has seen no ruined homes or neglected
children as a result of equal" suffrage,
and eh says that th women of Idaho
hav much mora infiucne with th leg
islators now than befor they obtained
the ballot. "

Th Woman's club idea has resehed
far-away Persia. In Tabrls, a city of
some SOO.000 people, with a large ex
port and . Import trade, carried on
wholly by means of camels, horses
and donkeys, as there are no wagon
roads, there is a small American colony
of about S00 families They ar much
better educated than th aurroundlng
Mohammedana, . and ' maintain two
scuools for girls, well aa two for
bey. Th flrat school In th city t
teach Mohammedan boys solences and
the "western languages has Just been
opened; but the Armenian Women's Be
nevolent Association of Tabrls, a so
ciety with only - lie members,- has for
years maintained It achoola In th
neighboring viuarfrs. " These Armenian
ladles raise all th money themaelves
to support the achoola, and work very
hard in order to do so. Boston Journal.
