The Rev. Samuel Willhite, of
Arkansas, who has just returned
from a hip to Europe, predicts,
on the strength of a "vision",
that America will be "entirely
destroyed" today. It is not too

TO THE WOMEN'S CLUBS OF LANCASTER.
With a view of extending
and enlarging its sphere of use1
illness, The Aews desires to
make a pioposition to the women's
cluhs of Lancaster. We ,
liave received so many assurances
of the good heing acoom
plished l>y tlie paper's agrieultu- |
ra' department that we have j
Concluded to make .mother experiment.
provided we can Secure
the co-operation of the la
dies of Lancaster through their |
literary and social organizations.
Our plan is to allot certain
i . <
space in the paper to be known
as?say the Home improvement
Department?though that designation
is not sufficiently comprehensive
to he entirely descriptive
of ail matters it is contemplated
to have discussed in
that column or department. To
.
fill that space with original articles
is what we ask the club la !
dies to do, the club* arranging
among themselves the order ol j
taking up and carrying on the,
work. Each club might assign to
certain of its members the task
of preparing for publication articles
on subjects to be selected
either by the club or by the
members them elves who are
appointed to do the work. A*
there are f-everal clubs, and
each with a goodly number of
Itt
members, the undertaking su
gestei would by no me an a pror
irksome.
As to the kind of mutter wan
ed. While the name ]>ropose<
the Home Improvement Depar
ment, is not altogether aS brot
as we should like, still, it ot i
self is 8ugye/dive of very mar
tonics TjRnt*Rvt.Ar nnerls to 1
old much under the head
civic improvement. The beau
fv ing of one's home is an ine
haus'ible subject. There a
many homes, especially those
newly married couples underg
ing their first ex[)erience
housekeeping, that could I
made more com'ortable and a
tractive, and the burdens ot tl
young wife lighter, by pla'is ai
methods known only to worm
who have had much experien<
in such matters. The planting an
cultivation and care of flowers, tl
making ot vegetable gar leni
the canning an 1 preserving
vegetables and fruits, the coo!
ing of meats of various kind
recipes for making cakes, cu
tards, etc., aie all fruitful su
jects lor discussion. Much cr
be said about the sick room, i
ventilation, what it should co
contain in the wav of flimitur
bedding, etc., how to make ti
surroundings pleasing to tl
eye of I he patient and, above al
how the patient should be nurs*
and fed. It is not desired <
course to usurp the functions <
the tamily physician, bnt it is
well-known tact that a patie;
needs much care and attentio
which it is not practicable f(
the physician to give. Here
where the value ol the traine
tiurse conies in, but where ther
is one family able to employ th
services of such a nurse, there ai
ten that can not all* >r 1 to do sc
Women who have had much ei
peiience in the sick room, wli
are acquainted with the recoj
m/.ed sanitary (emulations an
who know how to prepare til
various delicacies lor the sic!
would confer a great boon o
suffering humanity by giving tli
public the benefit of their knowl
edge and observation.
These are only a few pej,
upon which the women ma
hang their ideas. If they coi
s'.ude to co-operate with us i
this matter they will, of cours<
he tree to choose their own snl
jects. What say you, ladies?
