RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are
Well!

Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove all
uric acid from the blood Its pres
ence there shows the kidneys are in
active. Don't daily with uric acid
solvents" You might go on till dooms
day with them, but until you cure
the kidneys you will never get well.
Doans Kidney Pills not only re-
move uric acid, but cure the kidneys
and then all danger from uric acid
is ended.

JUDICIAL OPINION
ON M0THER-IN-LAW
DiStaStefuI ReIatiVeSShOuId
SkiddOO.

. PHILADELPHIA, PA, .ov. 20
Vice Chancellor Leaning, sitting in
Camden yesterday, heard testimony
in the suit of Martha Shaffer against
her husband, Zachary Taylor Shat
fer, formerly we'll known baseball
player, for alimony. At the close of
the hearing he delivered an opinion
as to the status of the mother-in-law
in the household and the duties of
the husband toward the wife.
1t was apparent throughout the
hearing that the trouble lay not so
much with the principals as with rel
atives- at-law, Shaffer insisted that
he loved his wife and she told of her
affection for him.
"A wife is entitled to a home where
she is mistress and without the pres
ence of distasteful relatives of any
kind" said the Court. There is
manifestly no occasion for the wife to
have any fear of bodily harm.
Where a mother-in-law is distaste-
full in a home she has no right to
remain there. Neither is the hus-
band required to supply quarters for
the wife's mother"
The Vice Chancellor said that the
case was one of the most remarkable
of the kind he had ever known. There
appeared to be interference on both
sides. The husband says the trou-
BILE is the result Of the interference
of his wife's mother and the wife in
sists that it is due to the husbands
mother and family. When the Court
finished William r. Boyle, attorney for
the defendant said that his client do
sired him to say that he was in ac-
cord with the decision of the Court
and that he was ready to accept the
terms of the decision and provide
home for his wife at once.
Mrs. Shaffer did not indicate that
she approved of the decree.

SECOND CHECK FOR

ing Results for School.

Having just received the second
check for 81 600 for the Americas
Colored Institute from the General
Education Board, of New York Prof.
Reddick was in happy frame of mind
yesterday. This gift was made con-
tingent on the raising of the same
amount by outside subscriptions, and
really represents donations to the
school of $4,000.
In order to get the first $1,000, Prof.
Reddick raised $500 Ideally, but for
each succeeding thousand, up to the
limit of four thousand dollars, he
must raise dollar for dollar with the
gift from the Board Thus far, then,
ne has raised 81 800 and the Board
has contributed $4,000.
Prof. Reddick is going to start af-
ter another thousand dollars at once.
as it must be raised by the middle of
January to get the third installment
from the Board He believes he can
raise this additional amount.
Prof Reddick points out that Am

Duchess Has Inspiration

In Paris the latter met the Duchess
of Dues, who conceived the idea OF
having the younger Miss Shonts as a
sister-in-law, and accordingly invited
her. with her mother and sister, to
visit her at her estates, as well as in
Paris.
The impecunfous young brother OF
the hostess, Due de Chaulines ct
Picquigny, promptly followed his
sisters lead, not only falling in love
with the girl of her choice, but pro-
posing to Miss Theodore before she
left France. The report of their en-
gagement was cabled from France
year ago, to be met here, on the re-
turn of Mr.. Shonts from Panama, with
a prompt and emphatic denial.
The Due de Chaulines, notwith
standing the denial of any engage
ment existing between him and Miss
Theodore, arrived at the Shonts home
in January, coming to Washington
with Mr.. Shonts himself and remain
ing a member of the household for
several weeks. Mr.. Shonts, while
offering no particular opposition to
the young nobleman's suit, resolutely
refused to settle any considerable
amount Of money on his daughter,
which fact is said by her friends to
be the reason why the engagement
which has existed for nearly a year
has never been acknowledged before
by the parents Of Miss Theodore.
Must "COugh Up a Million
Mr. Shont's fortune when he came
TO Washington was said to be not
more than $2,00O,0O0 which he had
invested in stock of the Glover Leaf
Railroad, of which he was president,
while the settlement demanded by
the Due de Chaulnes and incidentally
by his sister, the Duchess dues is
commonly reported to be $1,000,000.
Mr. Shonts was not disposed to part
with half his fortune for the sake of
obtaining a titled son-in-law, even
when the title was as old as that of
the Due de Chaulnes.
Mrs. Shonts has always favored the
young Frenchman's suit, notwith-
standing he has already dissipated one
fortune and has no income from his
heavily incumbered estate He is 2S
years old, and according to his future
mother-in-law, perfect gentle
