Mr. Rufua P. William, chairman of the department of health, sends th following message: - ' In October, 1907, the chairman sent to the president of every state federation a letter containing, among other things, the follow ing: "Under the civics committee of the General federation there has been formed a doimrtment the function of which Is to bring to the attention of the clubs, methods of Improving puhllo health conditions. The members of this health department will be one member from each state, and a chair man who is also a member of the civics committee of the General federation. Th chairman of civics has called your atten tion to other matters than that of health, and 1 feel that I must not ask for the entiro attention of the chairman of civics In your state federation. Therefore, may I ask that you appoint one who will rep resent your state in the health department, and asslat the chairman of civics In your state federation in carrying out toe sugges tion of this department? At your earliest convenience send me the name and address of the member." i Many presidents of state federation mad the desired appointments. A general plan of work, suitable for adoption In every state, was forwarded to the representa tive of the state as soon as appointed. Splendid work Is being done under this rlan, which will have a lasting effect on the health conditions of those states where it has been adopted. Every club woman has a right to become a part of this great movement, which Is engaging the attention of every nation of the civilized world, and the chairman is sure that it will be only necessary to re mind those, presidents who have over looked this opportunity for civic work thkt the club year is drawing to a close, and, unless something Is done soon, against the name of her state there will be a blank when the record of accomplishment is given. .

Congress gave Evan thirty numbers for th act of bravery. "Fighting Bob" s known th world over. An equUly fearless act earned him hi sobriquet. It was at the time the United States steamship Yorktown, under his com mand, lay In the harbor of Valparaiso in 1K91. The American officer had suffered numerous Indignities at the hands of a Chilian mob, due to the anti-American feeling as the result of our interference In the Chilian-Peruvian ' war.
