COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
. This is the season when women’s
thoughts instinctively turn to charity
and the huge amount of work it en-
tails. Fairs, festivals and concerts,
Whist parties and every conceivable
form of entertainment calculated to
draw dollars and cents from the depths
of pocket-books are being devised for
the winter, and their promoters are al-
ready beginning to wear the anxious,
worried look which means a nervous
strain. ‘
How hard they work over these
things nobody knows as well as they
and their families. The strength need-
ed to carry the burden of everyday life
is put into this charitable work, and
the good people at home patiently bear
the discomfort which comes from over-
‘ wrought nerves, and all because it is
charity. '
Now, I am not saying one word
I against the good motives which under-
lie all this work. I am in the closest
sympathy with it. But havenot the
members of our own families some
claim upon us? Ought we not to give
them a little of that charity which is
wearing out our nerves?
If we wouldbut think the matter out
calmly and so arrange our finances that
we could spare just a little bit of money
for our charity work and save our
strength, just the few pennies which
the piece of fancy work wejdevoted to
the last fair cost us the world would be
a more comfortable place.
I don’t suppose it‘is any use to wish
that women who pay anywhere from 50
I cents to $1.50 for tickets to entertain-
ments which bore them would give
that much'bash for the charity at the
’bottom of them. -
They won’t, because they have been
educated in the belief that they must
have an equivalent for their money.
They really mean well enough, but
they can never be persuaded to give
that amount of money outright. ' They
would see a thousand and one ways in
which to use it.
The charity fairs iind entertainments
for the benefit of the Norwalk hospital
are now the engrossing subjects to
which precious moments could not be
more worthily devoted, but I am going
to tell you of a few ways in which you
can help the other charities, and
wisely, too. Save every garment which
you do not need and give itwhere it
will do good.
, . Don’t cut off the buttons before he-
stowing it, because its next wearer
needs a fastening as much as you did
If the buttons are expensive and you
see away to use them again in your
own wardrobe, keep them by all means,
for that is true economy, but replace
' them with something that will do as
good.
I [havehseen women collect old gar-
ments, cut off every button, remove
' every scrap of ribbon, even to the col-
lar and belt, and then give them to a
family utterly unable to spare a penny
to replace them, although they found
the garments useless without these ac- ,
cesJories. Do you call that real charity?
. I should say not. True charity would
have urged women, to carefully mend
each article and bestow it in a wear-
able condition. There is lots of comfort
for somebody in lunch of our clothing
when We are donewith it, and giving
it to proper personsis an act of charity
which ranks with'the preparations of

If you can’t give clothing, give food
when you find a hungry man or woman
or child, and the good Lord knows that
there are many such. I have written
before to the kind-hearted proprietor
of a large boarding house, who saves
every good piece of food, puts all up in
clean paper bags and gives them where
they are wanted.
The storyis worth telling every week
in the year, because she has kept many
families from starvation, and in a man-
ner that could not wound their pride.
Hungry people have pride, you know——
any amount of it—although we' some-
times forget it.

Women Shtuld Know If.
Many women ‘sufl’er untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis-
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills
that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging .pain or dull
ache in th‘eiback, weakness or bearing-
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup-
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn-
ing sensation;x_ "sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four. hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at-
tributed by the patient herself, or by
her physician, to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, because they are treating
not the disease itself, but a reflection
ofthe primary cause, which is kidney
trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
