The household economics department
of the Lincoln Woman's club, will meet
Monday with Mrs J. A. Ames, 1118 G
street.
This will be an experience meeting,
where each will tell her gain from the
winter's study. It would be interest
ing to learn the effect upon the tempers
of the husbands and families of the mem
bers of this very useful department from
the experiments upon their digestive or
gans. Perhaps the ladies will kindly in
form us.
The National society of household
economics have asked for one hundred
recipes which have been conscientiously
tried and are known to have injuried no
one permanently, to be sent to the Chi
cago headquarters. On Monday these
recipes will also be collected.
An enormous amount of nervous
energy is wasted in useless conflicts.
Most points at issue settle themselves if
we can but be patient and wait. Un
fortunately a comfortable seat "on the
fence" is regarded with disfavor and no
awnings are provided to keep off the
fierce rays of criticism.
A case in evidence is the recent ex
perience of the Omaha Woman's dub.
Sometime ago, as mentioned in these
columns, the club discussed the expedi
ency of renting the Congregational
church for a year at a rental of $1,500,
for the purpose of providing a place of
meeting for the various club corgresees

"may be held there. In consequence the

project is abandoned.
Why the trustees did not impart their
religious scruples in the beginning is un-
certain.-unless they enjoyed the amuBe-
ment of watching a game in which they
concealed the winning card. However
an opportunity has been given the
Woman's club to show with what gener-
oeity and magnanimity a large body of
women can settle a disputed question.
An effort is now being made to have a
suitable building erected on the exposi-
"on fcrounas to oe used for congress
meetings, and the Omaha club women
will save their money to assist the expo
sition in some other way. .
At the meeting of the current events
department of the Lincoln Woman's
club on Saturday, the leader, Mrs. S. B
Hohman.reada paper on "Forestry in
the United States."
The laws relating to the subject in
other countries were first touched upon
France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia
and Japan each have their own methods
of protecting their forests.
Spain has shown her usual poor judge
ment in her neglect of this important
matte'r. Only one third of Spain is pro
ductive, the remainder of the land is
arid from the total destruction of their
forests.
In this country forestry laws are still
wanting and their importance will not
be appreciated until the carnage to our
forests becomes irremedial.
The government does not own a single
acre of the redwood in California, and
that is the only place in the world where
that valuable tree grows.
Mrs. Simpk.ns followed with an in
teresting article on "Leper's Island" in
Hawaii which excited an animated
discussion upon the subject jf leprosy.
This department will give the program
at the next regular meeting of tbe Wo
