Six years ago I had severe attack of

knee and elbow joints were swollen terribly,
and at one time my joints were so swollen
and painful that could not close them when
opened. Twas so bad that could not move

est cases Of Rheumatism ever heard of. I
was getting discouraged, you may be sure,

with good results and I know that it is a
sure cure for Rheumatism.

Beecher's eleven children, the only one
left of those famous brothers and sis
ters known always as the Beecher
family .,,.-..--,.,.
Mrs. Hooker was. a member of the
board of women N anagers, of the Chi
cago Worlds fair. of 1898. For the serv-
ices of Cities day at that fair she pre-
pared and readN before the audience
assembled universal litany," as she
named it. 1t consisted of a series of
quotations from the religious teachings
of ancient and modern peoples, includ-
ing Egyptian, Jewish. Chinese, Bud
dhist, Christian and Moslem. The quo
tations began thus:
Egyptian.-He hath made all that is and
without Him nothing that is hath been
made.-From Book of the Dead.
Christian.-All things were made by
Him and without Him was not anything
made that was made.-John j. 3.
Jewish.-For thou lowest all things that
are and abhorrest nothing that Thou hast
made; for never wouldst Thou have made
anything if Thou hadst hated it. But
Thou sparest all, for they are Thine, o
Thou Lover of Souls.-Wisdom of Sol
ONION XII, a.
On this interesting occasion Mrs
Hooker read aloud the religious quota
lions from other peoples, and the
mayors of American cities, led by
Carter Harrison the elder of Chicago
read in concert the Bible quotations
1t was a programme worthy of a men,

less marshaling of facts. 1t was an ex-
tempore speech worthy even of
Beecher.
Meantime, during all the years when
she was working for women, Mrs.
Hooker maintained in her home the
perfect relations of wife, mother and
hostess. In their early married life she
and her husband established their
famous Nook Farm home. 1t was
for years the center of the most bril-
liant social and intellectual life, the
most gracious hospitality and the most
enlightened and progressive opinions of
the time.

Surmounting the stick is a receptacle
about the size of a small chatelaine

arrangement has taken the feminine
fancy, and many are adopting it as a
smart accessory to their out of door

CALL CONFERENCE TO
CONSIDER STATUS OF.
GARBAGE CONTRACT.

1t is generally accepted by st. Louis
lawyers that the decision of the Supreme
Court invalidates the contract now exist
ing between the city and the st. Louis
Sanitary Company for the reduction of
garbage.
The Supreme Court holds that the Board
of Health has no authority to let tho gar
bage contract. and 1t is argued that the
present contract. which was made by the
Board of Health. is invalid
The contract Of the st. Louis Sanitary
Company was granted for a period of four
years. and 1t has another year to run.
Ed Butler Is believed to be heavily inter-
ested in the st. Louis Sanitary Com
pany. g.
Mayor Wells will hold conference with
the members Of the legal department in
regard to the garbage contract. and until
that conference 1t will not be known def
nitely what the city intends to do.
Mayor Wells last night refused to give
an opinion relative to the case. 1T do not
know what will be done. nor do I care to
give an opinion as to what should be
DONE" said the Mayor. II would not make
any statement without first comforting
with the legal department"
