This

Thousands Of men and women who
nave felt the sting and torture of this

many years rheumatism was oonsid-
cred an incurable disease, now it is
one Of the easiest afiietions of the
human body 10 conquer. Medical
science has proven It not a distinct
disease in itself, but a symptom caused
by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is
uric acid In the blood and other waste
products Of the system which should be
filtered and strained out in the form
Of urine. The function OF the kidneys
Is to sift these poisons and acids out
and keep the blood clean and pure.
The kidneys, however are Of sponge
ike substance. the holes or pores Of
which will sometimes. either from
overwork, cold or exposure become
clogged and inactive, and failing in
their function Of eliminating these poi
sons from the blood they remain in
the veins, decompose and settling about
the joints and muscles, cause the I'M
told suffering and pain Of rheumatism
and backache often producing compli-
cations of bladder and urinary disease

The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases Of
rheumatism because of its direct
action upon the blood and kid

WANTED NIGHT
SCHOOLS TO GO ON
Consumers League and Fac
tory Inspector Mads Re-
quest to Board
BOARD OPPOSED TO MOVE

Accompanied by Factory Inspector j.
Austin Ellison. a committee of women,
representing the Consumers League,
appeared before the Board of Educa-
ton last night TO request that body to
continue the term of the night school
sessions, which conclude on February
IS. The object of the Consumers
League committee for making the re-
quest Is that a number of children be-
tween the ages Of IA and 16 years, who
do not possess the required educational
certificates as prescribed by the child
labor law, be given an opportunity to
acquire them.
Mr.. Ellison said he appeared before
the board on the invitation Of the Con-
sumers' League. He said there were
number of children employed in vari-
Gus factories in the city who have not
certificates showing that they attended
school twelve consecutive weeks in the
year previous to their employment, as
is made compulsory by law. He
thought it would be a good thing to
extend the session of the night schools
month or two longer so that these
children could get the necessary certi-
ficates. Otherwise they will lose their
employment and be compelled to wait
until the next term.
Mr.. Ellison also said that the en-
ployers Of such children complain that
the night schools are not properly To-
Gated, being so far apart that parents
do not relish the idea Of allowing their
children to so such Ions distances at
night
fie added that some Of the children
who will be effected BY their failure
to have educational certificates, are the
support Of widowed mothers.
Mr.. Sullivan. Of the Eleventh ward,
said he did not think the employers
eXacted the certificates, and he had
heard that children were known to
have made the remark that the certi-
flcates We're not needed. as no atten-
ton was paid to the law
OBJECTED TO CRITICISM.
DR.. Cooper, Of the First ward, took
exception to the critic SIN of employers
over the location of the night schools,
and said that such remarks did not
come with good grace from the factory
owners, he taking the factory in
spector's statement for his authority.
He said the board had taken much
time to select the locations of the night
schools, and he was Of the opinion that
good Judgment was exercised in pick
ing the schools.
The Consumers League committee
and Mr.. Ellison retired before the
meeting ediourned. and after they left.
the board. on a motion Of Mr. Baynard
Of the Ninth ward, instructed the sec
rotary to ask the factor inspector for
list Of the names and addresses Of
children who need the educational
certificates. so that Il the number
would warrant. a night school would
be opened for their benefit.
1t was also brought out during the
discussion following the retirement Of
the committee that the law allows .he
factory inspector TO exercise d scr ton
where children are employed contrary
to law, who are the support Of widowed
mothers The intention Of the law is
not to create hardships and misery.

having more generally at her command
the three requisites that make life en-
durable, good air, good food and good
water. These she held az the stand
ard of effort for the farmers wife.
The oheapness Of all home accessories
as the result Of advance in invention
vas mentioned as one of the principal
encouragements to economy in money
and labor in the farm home. As an
instance Miss Farrell described the
HAY box" a new kitchen utensil which
is lined thiclSly with hay, into which
food, after it has been heated on the
stove, is placed and covered. The hay
has the peculiar effect Of augmenting
the heat. and after the food has been
in the box for certain time, it is
found thoroughly cooked thus affording
great saving in the use of fuel, the
food literally cooking itself.
Miss Farrell urged especially that the
farm kitchen should be attractive and
that the farm housewife should prac-
tice economy IN her household labors
so that she could devote more time for
self-improvement The usefulness Of
the telephone as a time saver to the
country houselSeeper was dwelt upon.
Were / called upon to express my
choice as a country housewife between
the telephone and rural free delivery"
said Miss Farrell. II would not hcsi-
tate to favor the telephone"

The people of Williamsport. Pa. are having a
bitter fight over the water company monopoly in
that city The question will figure in the munich
pal election soon TO be held. A private company
owns the water system, and it charges whatever
rates it pleases to the consumers One of the
candidates for mayor refuses to express himself
regarding the tight of the people for emancipation
from the rule of the water monopoly. How inn
portant, then, is it that citizens who own their
own water system should preserve it in its integ-
rity and thus keep themselves free from the grip
of monopoly

SUSSEX COURT HOUSE.

THE Sussex County Court House DuilulhS
has long been an eye sore. 1t was erected
wears and years ago. AT one time when sussex
county was supposed to be not overly WeailNy,
the present Court House might have answered.
ali nurnoses But Sussex county has outgroWh
such building 1t is gratifying, therefore 10
note that a movement is under way to improve
the Court House Something surely ought to be
done Probably it would be better to erect an
entire new building instead Of patching up the
present structure The new building would cost
considerable, but Sussex county should be able 10
stand the expense.
The rural parts Of the county and, therefore,
the towns as well, for some years have enjoyed
unexampled prosperity. Wealth has increased IN
the county. Probably there IS no part OF elaWale
which has been more profitable in the products
of the earth than Sussex county has been during
the last few wears. The county has raised abundrl
ant crops of fruits and vegetables, new bankng
institutions have been started and the deposits IN
the banks have increased. All reports from the
county have told of progress. Land has increased
in value The county in improvements should
begin to feel the effects OF this growth.
The accommodations of the Court House are
poor. They could not be much worse. There IS
often real inconvenience because OF lack OF
proper accommodations. Sussex county, win
respect to its county buildings, is lar different
from either Kent or New Castle. There IS no
real reason why Sussex should suffer by compari-
son with her sister counties. The pride OF the
residents of the county should assert itself in
fine new county building or at least the present
antiouated structure should be vastly improved.
The Levy Court, it is understood, would be
willing to 60 ahead with the improvements bat
fears that expenditures for improvements would
call forth criticism. Certainly there would be
criticism. What in this life is done by anyone
that does not provoke criticism' But there is
hardly an improvement that has been made in
Delaware that has not survived criticism and
often as time goes on the severest critics become
the warmest friends of an improvement Criti-
cism should not balk the Sussex Levy Court in
adding needed improvements to the county
whether those improvements take the form Of
renewed or new county building or whether
they take the form of better county roads.

STRANGE YOUNG WOMAN
 TALKS OF MISSING CHILDREN
she Pro<es so Be Insane ana Is scst
 to TuscaIoosn

One of the sadaest incidents in the time since Jailer Pettus hassbeen care taker of the Countys prisoners was the confinement of a young. woman in the jail Tuesday night on the nominal charge of abusive language. The real charge against the young woman was insanity. and she was yesterday morn ing sent to Tuscaloosa in charge of w. E. Elmore.
 The young woman was sent to the jail by the Police Department last night on the charge of using abusive language in order that she might re- ceive better quarters In which to pass the night before her trip to Tuscaloosa. At the 1ail she was given negro wo- man for maid. and every other addi- tfonal comfort was provided for her.
 The young woman never slept wink all through the night. but paced up and down the corridor continually talking to herself of her four children whose whereabouts she did not know. Once or twice during the night lucid mo- ment came for a few minutes. and du- ring these time she tried to tell her maid where her children were.
 She spoke of having a husband some where who had deserted her some time ago. but sheIcould not tell anything of his appearance. She spoke little of him, however. her main thoughts being directed to her children, who are sup posed to be somewhere in the hands of kinspeople or friends.
 That she was a woman of some means was shown by the fact that she had SIPS on her person, but what she intended doing with this amount she did not tell her caretakers Tuesday night.
 Early yesterday morning she was ta- ken to Tuscaloosa by Mir. EImore. who resigned from the position of night jailer some time ago.

 Widespread Interest In Contest.
 Interest sn the winning of the auto mobile Is by no means confined to Montgomery and Mobile. Miss Will Hams, Miss Smith and Miss Wood have friends all over the State who are send- ing ir~ subscriptions for them. Little Miss smith q few days ago received a contribution of 5000 votes from the home of Miss Williams. and the latter has some votes pledged her from Mont gomefy. Miss Williams has the ad- vantage of being the only contestant from her city. hence can depend almost on the unanimous support of her fellow citizens while the patrobage of Mont gomery is divided among a dozen cam didates.
 The interest taken in some of the contestants by persons who do not know them persopally IS quite remark able and very gratifying to the con- testants thus favored, as we'll. A case in point Is the effort being made by Dr. R. H. Duggar of Prairieville. Ala, In behalf of Sallie Watkins Wood, whom he has never seen. Dr. Duggar, in addition to renewing his own sub scription to the Daily and Sunday Advertiser for one year in behalf of Miss Wood, has persuaded every sub- scriber on The Advertisers list in .Prairieville- to favor her with their votes. Commenting on the contest. Dr. Duggar says:
 q still am interested in our little unknown friend, Miss 'Watky.' AL though she has scared above the 100,- | 900 mark, am afraid of that new conner from Mobile, for she certainly has the breath of the runners must send you another small contribution for Miss 'Watky.' That was a nice leap of hers; it reached well. Pope says: l The race by vigor-not by vaunts-is won,' and she exemplifies it.

Does Mobile occupy a more important place on the map or Alabama than the capital city? VIII any Montgomerian; proud of the city where the late Confederacy was born and cradled, admit that such is the fact? Then why should young lady from Mobile be accorded the prestige fof winning out in a contest with girls from the best families in Montgomerys
 Fortunately for the honor and glory of Montgomery. the race is not yet won. Mobile has the proud distinction for the present of having the leading candl- date. But that is no sign that her vic- tory will be permanent The friends of Miss Smith and Miss Wood have not all spoken in their favor with their ballots yet The friends of Miss Will Hams certainly have shown remarkable promptness aud loyalty In fIoclxing to hRr support, but the end is not yet.
 Pride GOeth Before . Fall.
 1Elss smith and Miss Wood have been tempting fate for the last few days, by remaining almost at standstill in the race. They have apparently been drawing Miss Williams on and inviting her to go to the front. It may be that they are simply giving her an op- portunity to so to the top, so that they can humble her pride by giving her 2 hard fall Be that as 1t may, Miss Williams has gained first place by ar increase of 12,000 in her score sincs last report, and Is now just 1000 votes ahead of Miss Virginia Brabb Smitf who was in the lead on Tuesday anc Wednesday mornings while Miss Saiiis Watkins Wood. the erstwhile queen, has dropped back to third place. witt 1.zB0 less votes to her credit in the official score than Miss Smith has Virginia registered a gain of only l. 100 yesterday. and Sallie only 1,600.
