I observe once again a mistake. The name of the WCTU was (and, I think,
still is) the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. I have not looked at
this matter for some decades now, but as I recall the choice of the
possessive "Woman's Crusade" and Woman's Christian Temperance Union was
not accidental. It meant something important to the organizers,
leaders, and, presumably, members.
