WOMAN WELFARE CLINIC .~ TO BE HELD TOMORROW ‘Working Women and Girls of Meager Income to Be Instructed in Preventing Ills. The clinic <f applied immunology, Tecently established by the Woman's Welfare Association, will be held for the second time at the society’s head- quarters, 1022 11th street northwest, tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m. Similar messions will be held every Thursday during the hours mentioned. In the new clinic, designed for ‘working women and girls of meager income, the accepted principles of pre- ventive and therapeutio medsures will be employed. Preventive inoculations against small pox, typhold fever and diphtheria will be administered to those who desire protection against fllsese diseases. pecial attention will be given to the treatment of asthma E’ud ha. fever. Hay fever, a9 indicated by its seasonal character, is caused by the inhalation of pollen grains which are. shed by various plants. The treat- ment consists in determining the par- ticular varlety of pollen grains to ‘which the-subject is sensitive and by a series of injections render the sub- Ject non-sensitive. Hay fever sub- Jects are, therefore, advised to present themselves for examination long be- fore the onset of their attacks. In addition to its medical clinics, the association operates a rest and re- cuperative ward in charge of a house physician and trained nurse. It has also organized a good health club.to furnish instruction in correct living and eating. for physical training and corrective exercises. Dr. J. Wesley Bovee is president of the medical staff, and Mrs.-Charles W. W\:more is president of the board of managers of the association. W. E. LAMB APPOINTED.

Again—new pockets in groups or singly. Long, medium or short length jackefs and full-cut skirts that are finished with narrow belts. Another reason why we mention these as values: The materials themselves are par- ticularly good when one considers this low price. Closely woven and allowing a wide choice of colors— French Blue, Orchid, Rose, Tans, Polos, Salt and Pepper Mixtures All the suits are silk lined throughaut with a good quality of plain colored silk. They are well tailored, and for this reason will give good service even after repeated wear. The style diversity is so wide as to please many fancies. There are those which accen- tuate slender lines; others that are very straight and simple in their treatment; still others that show some trimmings in silk braid pipings, narrow belts and buttons.
