|NISTERS SUGGEST
 DIVORCE REMEDY

grOes than among whites, though the proportion of three-fifths, as given, is not much above the proportion Of the population negroes to whites in Jefferson county. There is no ques- ton that divorces among whites are unnecessarily frequent.
 In respect to remedies, would suggest that more care be given to the marriage of young people. The press makes a grave mistake wheu it mentions an elopement in attract i've language, magnifying any roman tic feature and minimizing the gray ity of the affair. A marriage that IS not performed in the regular way is open to suspicion and the press, in my opinion, does a grave injustice to moral sentiment when, it's presen- tation of such case isNcommenJa- tory. The press should not encour.. age irregular marriages, as thei' ten- dency is in general towards divorce.
 A minister of one church, in l.ly judgment, should not marry a couple who are members of another chlicn. The application is sufficient to excite suspicion that something is w.,,ng. Preachers do not marry people for the money that is in it. and could therefore very we'll refuse to officiate when there is danger of imprudence
 Civil magistrates should not, in my opinion, perform the marriage cere. mony for parties who are members of church, but refer them to the proper pastor. The Catholic church is the only church that regards mat rimony as sacrament on the same level with baptism; but all Christian churches, of recent years, wish mar riage to be regarded as a sacred rlta. It is therefore matter of general re. gret among chuch-going people that civil magistrates perform marriages that minister of church should naturally celebrate.
 The civil law could, I think, De made helpful about many divorces. Fully twenty per cent of the div )rc es now granted could be avoided if the civil law allowed chancellors to grant divorce from bed and board" as we'll as from the 'bond'' of marriage. This is the law in some countries of the world. The parties seeking divorce are allowed to live apart and the rights of each is guarded against injury by the other If, after suitable time is pasSe:l and their relations show no impl ove- ment, a divorce from the bond of marriage is granted. In all (ie counties of our SAte remarriages C. cur. Had the above law been in ex- istence, these need not to have occur- red. The law, in it's present state e. quires chancellor to grant a con- plete divorce or none at all.
 Chancellors, as a rule, are mel Of night moral standing in their re- spective communities, and men of mature judgment. It would be well if the law were so expressed that they might exercise their best 1ulg ments and thus conserve public mor- ality. With the law changed 70 al- low divorced from "bed and board" and with time limits as to following marriages, and similar features, our chancellors Could employ their high talents very usefully for the public good. As the law now stands they are not allowed to use their best judgment and exercise wise discre. tion.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.

The cause Of rheumatism and KIN

titles. Rheumatism is an INTERNAL dis
ease and requires an internal remedy
Rubbing with Oils and Liniments Will
not cure, affords only temporary relief
at best, causes you to delay the propsr
treatment, and allows the malady to
get a frmer hold on you. Liniments
NAV ease the pain, but they will no
more cure Rheumatism than palnI

Science has at last discovered q per-

CHICKEN POX.


The cold, wet spring is apt to give
Us more than the usual number OF
cases of chicken pox. When chickens
show on the head and under side OF
the wing little pox sores which are
round and yellowish 1t is time to be-
gin treatment, as the disease is CON
tagious and is sometimes so severe as
TO result in blindness. Cut down all
high weeds and move the coops to a
unny place. Isolate all affected birds,
feed a marsh wet with scalded milk,
and crease the affected parts with
carbolized vaseline. Also give animal
fcod and plenty of green food. A good
substitute for the animal food is curds
thickly sprinkled with black pepper.
The yards should be disinfected

N!isdemearor of Bad Roads.

It is heard that tw%enty-four town
ship commissioners, Or supervisors,
have been indicted in Venango Coun-
ty for permitting the roads under
their charge to become bad. The ac-
ton is unusual; but it's theory is evil
dent. Road supervisors are consti-
tuted to keep the roads in good re-
pair. No man is forced to accept a
public Office, but if he does take it he
is bound to discharge the duty. If
a road supervisor takes the office and
lets the roads become impossible he
fails to do what he is under obliga-
ton to do, and is guilty of a INSIDE
meanor.
The doctrine is tart and far-reach-
ing. For there are other Offices in
the State Of Pennsylvania to which
this principle of law might well be
applied. Not to bother over local
and petty examples, consider the in
surance commissioners who through
two administrations have confined
their activities to periodical visits 20

their exceedingly plump political in

clple spreads, and all oficeholders

OF the dry bones among the Pennsyl-
vania politicians.
me innovation can be welcomed.
Inc idea of indicting gentlemen who
regard political office as the susie
nance OF q leisure class is alluring
n promises liveliness. But if put
INTO universal practice it involves one
inconvenience. If all offceholders

clally all supervisors who let the
roads become impossible, are to be
sent to prison there must be a general

Auto influence.

Robert P. Hooper, chairman Of the
Good Roads Board Of tho American
Automobile Association, was n of
the speakers at the automobile con-
yention at Springfield, Mass. Mr..
Hooper was appointed by the direct
ors as one of the A. A. A. delegates.
and he told what is being lone under
automobile influence throughout the
country for improved highways. me
A. A. A. Good Roads Committee in
the past have usually been so only IN
name. This season, however, has
been characterized by genuine work,
and the national board has been II
abled to organize several hard-work-
ing committees in a number OF States.
Mr.. Hooper. told the directors all
important move recently star in
the South, a plan which. if ST s.
fully carried out, will be exactly IN

the Springfield convention IS to
accomplish-that is, uni = in

outlook of the work that farmers are
going to do and the influence they
will exert for better roads in the flu
ture. Reports lately received by him
from Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota,
Indiana, Ohio, and other States show
that a far more favorable view for
good roads is being taken in the rural
districts than was the case a year or
two ago.
II wish to emphasize one thing
which is becoming more apparent
every day." said Mr.. Hooper, "and
that is that farmers all owe the coun-
try are at least realizing that there
is a good side to the automobiles,
and with very little work on u part
we can secure their cooperation"
In Missouri an active campaign has
recently been started to build a State
highway from st. Louis to Kansas
City. At the State Fair in Milwaukee
the State Geologist was requested to
construct a piece Of good roads on
the grounds as an object lesson of the
benefits to be gained by improved
highways.
That the subject of improved high
ways in America is still in it's infancy
is amply demonstrated by the first
exhaustive report recently issued by
the United States Government Office
of Public Roads. Statistics have been
secured from every State and county
in the country showing the respective
road conditions for 1904. This shows
that there were in use at that time
2,151,57O miles of public roads, OF
which only a fraction over seven per
cent, 153,6s4 miles, could be termed
improved roads. Indiana has the
largest mileage of improved roads,
23,S77, Ohio coming next with 49,.
46O. Wisconsin third, 1858. and
Kentucky fourth, 94S6. Illinois,
Michigan and Massachusetts, have
about 1000 miles each.
The fact that these Western States
excel in their extent of good roads
may be a surprise to many Fasteners
who have regarded Massachusetts
New Jersey and other States as be.
ing the leaders in good roads work
In proportion, however, to it's total
road area, Massachusetts leads with
about forty-six per cent, Rhode Isl.
and being second with forty-thres
per cent. OF this total of improved
roads only a small proportion is mac
