The cause OF Rheumatism and kin

disease and requires an internal rem

ments will not cure, affords only tenn
porary relief at best. causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get q firmer hold
on you. Liniments may case the pain,
but they will no more cure Rheuma-
tism than paint will change the fibre

There Is growing feeling in this
country that sixteen years is too long
a period to expend on purely general
education and that the results obtain
ed do not warrant the expenditure Of
so great amount Of time and money.
1t has been shown beyond question
that large numbers Of children are
leaving the schools at an early age
with an utterly Inadequate prepara-
tion for life, thus increasing an
nually the number, not merely Of the
unemployed. but Of the unemploy-
able.
In the public schools Of this coun-
try nearly every other essential point
has been touched upon-health, san
itation and recreation have all had
their share Of attention-but In the
matter Of actual training for the real
work In life the pupils go out into the
world after sixteen years tuition al
most as unequipped to make live
lihood (save In one or two already
overcrowded professions) as when
he or she entered the first grade,
1t 10 suggested that there should be
three lines Of education open to the
pupil after the sixth or the seventh
grade; ~ the present high school; !;
(2) business or commercial school,
(O factory and trade schools. The
rural sections Of the country, as
we'll as cities and industrial centers,
need such schools. Instead of edu-
cations discovering country children
from rural life and farm work, it
should rather fit them to appreciate
1t, teach them that they can bring as
much science and metality to the
cultivation Of land and the manage
ment of the farm as to any other
profession.--Editorial in The Delin-
Gator for January.

The Delineator Mothers Conference

up what, In my estimation, has made
these conferences we'll attended and
Of value:
1. Because they We're held in tn

thority and appeal. Because every
agency in the district was asked to
help In the work.
2. Because the districts were
limited so that the mothers could
easily walk to the school.
8. Because the nurse visited the
mothers constantly. When a mother
was missing from q class the nurse
Immediately called to find out the
cause.
4. Because Of the interest time
and sympathy given by the doctors.
s. Because the nurse was at the
school every day at the same hour to
receive visits. Because the same nurse
was kept in the same district 80 that
she was known by every one in the
district.
6. Because the nurse made her
visits to the home long enough to
give valuable instruction and to ex-
plain the object and gain to the
mothers In coming to the conferences.
z. Because the nurses themselves
went to charitable and fresh-air dis.
pensariss and hospitals with the
mothers when necessary.
8. Because the nurse aroused q
feeling Of interest and curiosity
among the mothers to hear what the
doctor would talk about at the next
meeting. and to know how much the

HheHI III the INDUSTRY or the many
generous advertisements which Hart.
Schaffner & Marx, the pioneers. and
other leading clothing manufactur-
ers have from time to time publish
ed in the leading magazines and pa
pers of the country.
The great value of this work to the
trade can only be compared with
that which the firm has done through
Its frequent and conspicuous state
ments direct to the trade of it's wise.
courageous and inspiring attitude on
such vital questions as "alI WOOL.
mercerized, etc., etc.
1t is, indeed, not too much to say
that the advertising of Hart, Schaff
ner & Marx has had a refining and
uplifting influence on advertising
methods throughout the country.
Not alone in the clothing trade. but
In every trade, has their influence
been felt.
They were the first firm in the
country to associate art with COM
merce. Renowned artists have done
some Of their most unique and effec-
tive work for Hart, Schaffner &
Marx. They were first to get out of
the beaten track of advertising medi-
ocrity and to employ the finest art
lists in the land to make their pub
licity what they realized it ought to
be- They were the pioneers in mod
ern advertising.
And yet the firm has been over
modest In its claim of fair credit for
the work done. Note the following
extract from their last booklet to the
retail trade: "No better indication OF
the avoidance Of y clap-trap in the
clothing trade to-day can be found
than g. look through the newspapers
OF the country and a study of the
clothing advertising Of the present
day. You cannot fail to notice a gen.
orally better tone in the advertising
In its appearance, its statements, its
general spirit.
Some still prefer the circus-post
er, blackedface capital letters: and
some still think that it's necessary
to crowd catalogue Of the entire
stock into one small advertisement;
but the tendency to sanity. and dig
nifty. and businesslike simplicity in
advertising is growing stronger. In
tbs development Of clothing adverti-
| sing to a higher grade, we feel that
our work, especially that which we
send out to our customers to use, has
been great influence for good"
And, like every great pioneer, Hart.
Schaffner & Marx have helped others
/ as much as they haze helped them
selves. Their hrm stand for the high
est standards and the ofurs: ethics

Where Widows Commit Suicide.

Old customs die very hard in China.
says writer in the Wide World Mag
azine. and in several parts of the Ce-
lestial empire it is still considered a
high act of virtue for a woman to COM
nit suicide after the death of her hus-
band. According to the law, the pro-
ceeding is actually legal in some prov
inces, and such is the state of public
opinion that in districts where it is
officially prohibited the authorities
rarely interfere. These extraordinary
voluntary sacrifices may frequently be
seen, and l myself saw one take place.

Chinese mourning color; the gallows

mense crowd gathered to witness the
grewsome spectacle made a picture

roses to the girl he loved, with a little
note inside begging her if she returned
his love to wear one Of the flowers in
her breast that night at the ball. She
appeared without it, and he went
away broken hearted.
Years afterward, when he was a
lame old general, he again met his old
love, now a white haired widow. One
day his old sweetheart gently asked
him why he had never married. mad
