Weight aud warmth are not synonymous, A child’s appetite is a pretty fair in- ficator of health; so, if it fails, and the failure is not due to indiseretionin diet, see whether it is worried over lessons and has enough sleep. To promote chi:dren’s appetites, take care that they have plenty of outdoor | exercise and that they have oniy Such | and that he would return it simple, homely food as they can digest. If this be done there will seldom, if | ever, be any cause for enxiety on the score of lack of appetite. One may prevent chilblains by wrap- ping the chilled part very thickly in eotton, wool or flannel and taking | brisk exercise in a room having a tem- | perature of about 60 degrees “ahren- |heit. Should a chilblain present itself let it be “painted” at once with a mix- | /ture of glycerin and belladeaoma lini- ment. $ OFFICERS IN THE SOUTH. | President and Mr. Payne Confer | with Mr, Hanna, From the Daily Pos, May, 1, | President Roosevelt and Postmaster | General Payne helda conference of an heur or more with Senator Henna, at i the latter’s house, yesterday forenoon. | The unusual spectacle of the President of the United States calling upon a member of the Senate at that tour in the dav and engaging in a conference | to which a member of his Cabinet was ‘a party, evidently by prearrangement, a | the | Are | "@wspaper and periodical output in spectable and where families mav go} WASHINGTON, D.’C.

DRYDEN, | Chosen to Succeed the Late William J. Sewell as United States Sen- ator from New Jersey. John Fairfield Dryden, the choice of New Jersey republicans for United States senator, has been the archi- tect of his own fortunes. He is rated as a millionaire and is known throughout the country as the founder and president of the Pru- dential Life Insurance company, of Newark, N. J., but his wealth and prominence were attained solely through his own efforts and by dint of extraordinary energy, persist- ence and hard work, unaided by speculation. Born on a farm near Farmington, Me., August 7, 1839, his tife has been as rugged as the moun- tains of his native state. His first essay for himself was at Yale. ~bith- then proceeded to enlighten the other senztors.

Question of Admitting Colored Clubs Mast Be Decided at the Los An- geles Biennial, Which Meets in May, During the nearly two years that have intervened since Mrs. Josephine Ruffin, president of the Woman's Era elub, of Boston, attempted to opem the doors of the General Federation o£ Wonxin’s Clubs to colored women the racial question has been a burning one in that organization. As will be remembered, the Woman's Era club was admitted by Mrs. Lowe, the president of the general federa- tion, who did not know it was a club of colored women, although the con- stitution forwarded with the applica- tion for membership clearly implied that fact. Mrs. Ruftin came to the bi- ennial at Milwaukee two years ago | expeeting to be received as a delegate, | but her necessary credentials were res fused by order of the executive board. This question of admitting clubs ; composed of colored women has sine become an issue in the general fed= eration, and is the principal theme o€ discussion in nearly every one of thé 37 state federations of that body as well as of the individual clubs. Xlrs. Ruffin will be at the Los An- geles biennial in May as a representa- tive of the Northeastern Federation of Colored Women,which voted at a ineet- | ing held in Springfield, Mass., last sum- | mer, to pay her expenses for this pur- | pose.

Her father had the mixed blood of the French, Indian and negro races, and her mother was an English wom- an, and their lives and their children’s lives were so essentially connected with New England that they felt they were northerners to the backbone. Since she was 30 years old Mrs. Ruf- fin has always been identified with al® definite work for the improvement of her race, and has held many promi- nent positions, notably in the Massa- chusetts Suffrage association and the New England Prese association. The Woman’s Era club took its name from a paper called the Woman's Era, This publication was devoted to the interests of colored women, and Mrs, Ruffin was its editor. It was because of the progressive work done by this paper that the first organization of colored women was formed in 1873, and meetings held in Boston and on the following year in Washington. The purpose of the club is the bet- terment, intellectually and morally, of colored women. It attempts to raise their educational standard and te arouse them to the thought of the pos~ sibilities for the colored race to take a higher rank in civilization and the progress of the age. —_— on 7 A Afi Pome ae NER cent RS et eh A pi tnd a sin pat i malt
