To this Advisory Council we appeal for advice and cooperation in all

First of all. we ask them to secure the publication of this present
announcement and address in all papers and magarines that they can instu-
ence, sor the purpose of giving a world- wide recognition of the significant and
helpful fact that by the desire and decision of men, women are to share
equally with themselves in all the honors as well as the labors and the cares
of the great Exposition, and that the temperance cause will be given all
possible opportunity for a larger hearins than it has ever yet enjoyed. With
no intention to intertere with the suggestions thus earnestly sought by our

tions, askins the opinion of each one of its members, with any and all other

questions, as a matter of convenience, and to save the trouble and expense of
