WOMEN DISCUSS
 CHILD LABOR LAW
MRS. MILLER ASSERTS THAT 50 PER CENT OF TRUANcY IN GILL cAGO IS CAUSED BY DIVORCE OF PARENTS.

Washington, April 11.-Mrs. Mary Wood Swift, the president, called the national council of women together today to be- gin the real work of it's fifth triennial meeting. Sessions will continue through Friday. There were three sessions of the council today. In the morning vari- ous incidental matters were attended to; in the afternoon the annual address Of Mrs. Swift was followed by reports from various affiliated organization and in the evening greetings were heard from a number of prominent members.
 At the morning sessions Mrs. Flo Jami- son Miller reported in her capacity as corresponding secretary and Mrs. Lillian Hollister as national treasurer
 Mrs. Miller said that the various coun- cils all over the world stand pledged to destroy the white slave traffic. What have you done for this line of work as responsible when we wilfully shut our eyes to the things that are wrong?a
 She spoke of conditions existing in the factories, instancing notably the glass factories of Illinois, where she said hum dreds of children are toiling for mere pittance called a livelihood and of the importance of the juvenile court and asked that the council look to the care of dependent and delinquent children and administer to them.
 Mrs. Miller spoke of the evil results of divorce and in this connection said that Superintendent Bodine of the compulsory education officers of Chicago had made the statement that fifty per cent. of the cases of truaney among dependent and delinquent children are due to the par ents and their environments, caused through divorce, dissipation and deser- tion.

Certain Relief

The secret lay in a wonderful chemical I found in Germany. When 1 found this chemical. I knew that I could make a Rheumatic cure that would be praeti- cally certain. ut even then. before I made an announcement-before l was Wiling to put my name on it,-I made Laore than 2000 tests! And my failures were but per cent.
 This German chemical is not the only ingredient I use in Dr. Shoop's Rheuma- tic Cure-but it made the remedy pos sible-made possible an achievement which, I doubt not, could have been made in no other way.
 This chemical was very expensive. The duty, too. was high. In all its cost me s4.90 per pound. But what is s4.90 per pound for real remedy for the worlds most painful disease?-for a real relief from the greatest torture human beings know?
 don't mean that Dr. shoop's Rheum1- tic Cure can turn bony joints into flesh again-that is impossible. But 1t will drive from the blood the poison that causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of the pain and swelling-the end Of the sufferng-the end of Rheumatism. TT at is why I can afford to make this liberal offer-that Is why I can afford to spend the FIRST dollar that Rheumatic sufferers. the world over, may learn of my remedy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-12
Crystalized Poisonl

Your blood Is always full of poison-the poison you eat and drink and breathe into
 your system It is the purpose of the blood to absorb and carry off this very
 poison. And tie kidneys. which are the blood filters, are expected to cleanse the
 blood and send 1t back through the sys-
 tenn clean, to gather more poison which.
 they. in turn, will eliminate.
 But sometimes the kidneys fail. And sometimes, from some other cause, the blood gets so full of poison that they can not absorb it all. This is the start of Rheu-
 matism. The poison accumulates and orystalizes. The crystals look like little
 grains of sugar or of fine white sand. The , blood carries them and they Increase in size. Then. when it can carry them no longer Ii deposits them in a joint-on a bone-anywhere
 The twinge in your leg-the dull ache in your arm on a rainy day-these are the
 outward signs of the unseen crystals And
 the twisted limbs and unspeakable an
 guish of the sufferer who has allowed ms symptoms to go unheeded and unat-
 tended for years-these are the evidences
 Of what Rheumatism neglected. can do
 Rheumatism includes lumbago. seiatica. neuralgia, gout-for all these are the re- suits of rheumatic poison in the blood.
 Plainly, the first thing to do Is to re- move the poison. But this Is not enough
 lhe formation of the poison must be
 stopped, so that nature may have a
 chance to dissolve and eliminate the crys- tals which have already formed. Unless ! this is done there can be no cure-no permanent relief
 l searched the whole earth for a spe- eifc for umatism-something that I or any physician could feel safe in pre- scribing-something that we could count
 on not only occasionally, but always. For the ravages of Rheumatism are every where and genuine relief Is rare. Mild cases are sometimes cured by a 1 And drug ef nrna

WlTHDRAWS FROM CHURCH. Dr. Willard Dssents From Much of Westminster Confession of Faith.

Rochester, N. Y, April 11.-After nearly forty-five years service in the Presby- terian ministry. much of which was passed in this city as pastor of the First Presbyterian church, the Rev. pr. Nelson Willard today announced his withdrawal from the Presbyterian church. Dr. Mill lard does not say that he intends join ing any other denomination, merely stat ting that it Is his desire hereafter to oc- cupy the independence provided in the articles of the faith of the church.
 Dissenting as l do In much of the Westminster confession of faith, and finding many of my differences not re- moved by the explanatory statement re- gently adopted by the general assembly, I have come to the conclusion that am in duty and honor bound to withdraw from the Presbyterian church. It is a step that I would gladly have avoided had I felt that I could do so conscien- tious and honorably."
