for the systematic training of his
workers has been In his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many Of the details and he has just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
1t is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift-
ing of the submerged tenth. the vast
system OF charities now so essential
part of modern life, is to very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
yeached by practical worldly help be-
tore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made practical
working success of this now familiar
principle Of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force Of mind and
personality and the momentum that 1t
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity 1t has developed into truly
astonishing organization.
Some of the departments OF its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes. Farm colonies, Emigration,
Naval and Military homes, Maternity

When folded and slipped into it's case it is only six teen inches long and can easily be carried in the overcoat or in a sachel. When extended each rib snaps into a clamp which holds it perfectly rigid, and the two sections of the center rod screw together in a firm joint. only half a minute is required to either set up the umbrella or to fold it. When set up it can be carried open or closed in exactly the same manner and with the same appearance as an ordinary umbreila.-From Popular Mechanics.

The Hostile Attitude of the Preacher the Lawyer and the Doctor
 Toward Women.

"VOtes for Women" is the title of Prof w. I. Thomas article in the July American Magazine. He proves him self staunch supporter of woman's suffrage and in the course of his arti- cle, he has occasion to comment on what has been the attitude of the church, the law and the doctors, and toward women in the past. He says:
 "The Christian church also has con- stantly insisted on the submission of woman to the will of man, and we came almost to accept the 'honOr and obey of the ceremony of marriage as part of natural law, but we are con- founded when James Fordyce in his sermons addressed to women, advances the view that holiness is a sort of beautifier which will render their charms more lively to men. Never, he says, perhaps does a fine woman strike more deeply than when com posed into pious recollection .. she assumes without knowing it su perior dignity and new graces; so that the beauties of holiness seem to radi ate about her
 "Of course the law has no remedy to Dlltlf lOirl lllC liM 10 HbAilliS AA AApN Dt- hind hand. It merely provided the formal measures by which women could be repressed and exploited. In England before 1870 a man who had abandoned his wife and left her un- aided to support his family might at any time return to appropriate her earnings and to sell everything she had acquired and he might again and again desert her and and again and again repeat the process of spoiltlon.' In 1790 an English writer explained that people unfit for county franchise were those who lie under natural incapaci- ties and therefore can not exercise a sound discretion or (who are) so much under the influence of others that they can not have will of their own in the choice of candidates. Of the for mer description are women, infants. idiots, lunatics; of the latter. persons receiving aims and revenue officers
 Even medicine had it's fling at women. In a medical treatise of this period we read: Tn this book, pro- pose, with Gods help, to consider dis eases peculiar to women, and since women are, for the most part. poison ous creatures. I shall then proceed to treat of the bites of venomous beasts"

How to Reduce Fat
The Simplest and Surest Way to Get
 Rid of Fat Without Drugs.

How to Prove It to Yourself Free.
 There has become known a remedy for fat, the use of which has already resulted in enormous benefit, and most probably in the saving of many lives.
 This remedy is commonly called Rengo. The rate at which this rem edy will reduce fat, and do it harm lessly and surely. is truly remarkable. A pound a day is ordinarily the loss recorded, being done by compelling perfect assimilation of the food, and sending the nutriment where it be- longs.
 The most remarkable feature of Rengo is that you can take all you want of it without running the slight est risk of harm. It can be chewed like candy and is pleasant to the taste
 Many physicians, who before were at a loss to know how to cure obe- sity, are now prescribing Rengo with remarkable success. It is great erve-strength producer, affecting di- gestion primarily, and inducing gen eral exhilaration of mind and body Wrinkles which appear in nearly ev- cry case of reduction of fat where injurious drugs and starvation pro cess is tried. do not occur where RengO is used
 There is nothing just as good as Rengo. For sale by all druggists at $1.OO per full sized box, or by mail prepaid. by The Rengo Co., 1864 Rem go Bldg, Detroit, Mich. The com pany will gladly send you trial package free by mail if you write them direct to Detroit; no free pack ages at drug stores.
