Mr. James Callanan, of Des
Moines, is one of the rich men who is liberal with his money in a good
cause; he has just given a thousand dollars to the business women's
new club house. The house is to cost $5,000. It
is conducted by a number of the leading ladies of the city, and managed
by a preceptress appointed by them. Its purpose is to afford
to young women coming into the city a low-priced, yet excellent, home,
until they can secure employment: also a home for young women who work
in factories, or act as stenographers, teachers, or in other employments
that do not furnish them a home.

Des Moines has received a generous endorsement at the hands of the Des
Moines conference now assembled here. The attempt to raise $50,000
within the limits of the conference for the institution was approved.

The hospital will not be setarian, but will be open for all who care to
avail themselves of its benefits. No one will be turned away
because of lack of money so long as there are rooms available.
Those who are able to do so are expected to contribute of their means for
the services rendered by them.
Rev. J. F. St. Clair of Ames
has been chosen by the management of the hospital as financial agent.
The hospital has been endorsed by the conference, and its needs will be
met by general contributions. The hospital property is valued
at $50,000. Mr. Callanan of Des Moines donated $25,000 and
$10,000 has been raised during the year.
