The Status of the Women of Virginia.
II has been proved thu tho laws
of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho
deal more justly with the women of
those States as to property rights. in
heritance and guardianship of children
than do the laws of Virginia with tho
women of Virginia That In thosa
States the children the aged and In

What Can Virginia DO About Itf
There may be many subtle reasons
which bring about this contrast. There
is one obvious difference between those
States and Virginia. That difference Is
the status OF the women.
Let Virginia enfrancise her women.

The second premise IS tina, women

The third premise is. that the socla!

But reliable statistics 20 not accord
with this theory
The fourth premise is tina, the VA

But the National Woman Suffrage
Association has no political affiliations

The message of Easter is identical with the
truth that each Lords day proclaims % men
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The central
thought of the apostles ministry was the
resurrection of their Lord and SavioUs. 1t has
been the dominant theme of every gospel mes
sage The risen Christs first communication
was sent to his discouraged disciples that they
might rejoice because he was risen from the
dead.
Does Easter find you discouraged? Have
Won made a bad investment of your life and
labor? Are you disturbed as to the future!
Has death terror for you? Then let us rejoice
for Christ has won victory for u.s. Let us
give thanks because he is risen. His resurrec-
ton contains the promise of our endless life.
It is also prophetic of the Christians resurrec-
ton when Jesus shall come again The hopes
of eternal life should inspire us with dynamic
force by which we can, through the presenc9
and power of our risen Lord, rise above tns
difficulties dscouragements and defeats OF this
nresent age. His resurrection has solved our
problem removed sin and burdens that nave
filled us with despair, and turned our apparent
defeats into one glorious triumph The gospel
of the resurrection proclaims victory OF re-
generation over degeneration, of construction
over reformation, of life over death, that
Christ has secured for every creature that Will
believe on him as their risen Saviour
To the disciple that denied him early on
Easter morn Christ sent message that re-
called Peter to his service. Have you been
following Christ afar of? Has your life been
marred by sin? Have you denied your Lord?
If so, Easter has message Tor YOU Repent,
return to your Lord and then you will rejoice
that he is risen and he will restore unto you
the Joy of your salvation.
The last message that the Master gave to
his disciples was delivered near Bethany. while
they were still in sight OF the capital city OF

Easter, but her pride in her new tinery can
usually be relied upon to help her combat the
icy winds.
A movement was started some years ago to
induce the women of the United States to unite
in robbing Easter Sunday OF it's significance as
a field day" for the new fashions. According
to the new mandate it was not to be consid-
cred good form" for a woman to appear
Easter respondent in fresh additions to her
wardrobe. She might display her new treas
ures-for, of what use would nice clothes be
to woman If she could not show them-on
the Sunday preceding Easter or on the Sunday
following Easter or at any other time but the
custom was to be decred of turning Easter in
to a grand review for marshaling the newest
products of the dressmakers, the bootmakers
and the milliners.
The new plan was all very we'll in theory,
but the persons who suggested it evidently did
not figure on the persistency with which the
daughters of the republic can cling to cher
ished prerogative. The American women SIM
ply declined to abandon their Easter fashion
parade and consequently the seasons surprises
in new raiment continue to be as indispensable
adjuncts to a regulation Easter observance as
are the Easter lilies and the Easter eggs The
credit for the preservation OF the traditions of
the Easter fashion parade is given to the
women because it is the members OF the fair
sex who both as spectators and participants
supporters of the function. At the same time
it would be idle to insinuate that many of the
opposite sex have not succumbed to the 1nflu-
ence of the Easter dress parade. Among the
male contingent there is a brave representa-
ton of spring overcoats and spring suits, that
make their appearance for the first time, but
the one pre-eminent touch which proclaims the
occasion is the array of collars and ties.
Some men there may be, who, because OF
prejudice or pocketbook, will not indulge them
selves in the new conceits of the tailors on
Easter, but there are none who need forego
the indispensable of a novelty in neckwear.
AS has been said, fashions parade on Easter
marches up and down the entire land. There
are some famous Easter fashion parades in the
United States, notably the one on Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and the one on the Boardwalk
at Atlantic City, but there is scarce a city or
town or village from Maine to California or
from Michigan to Texas that does not enjoy It's
own Easter panorama-pa particularly If the COM
munity is not so small that there are no church
services to act as an incentive to draw forth
the birds of plumage. And just here, 1t may
be noted in wonder, that such is the perfection
of our modern system of fashion distribution
that the Easter parade in the most remote
town affords proof that her feminine residents
are little behind New York and even Paris in
the main essentials of the new styles"
While on this phase of the subject it may
be remarked that very few OF the fashionable
paraders in the Easter throngs realize how far
reaching have been the preparations for this
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1912-03-28
The Risen Christ's Easter Message

Jerusalem. On this Easter morn from Beth
any's study overlooking the Capital city OF our
nation l would call upon all the followers oil
the Christ to obey him and enter into the
Masters work of winning the world for their
Lord. AS he commanded, so | would urge that
you obey his cali to evangelize the world with
the gospel, enlist disciples for his service ano
educate all believers to be obedient to Whatso-
ever our Lord has commanded. The Christian
conquests of the centuries, the marvellous mis-
sionary awakening of Christendom preparing
to conquer the world for the glory of Christ
by the conservation of men and means and by
the cooperation of the Christian forces under
the leadership Of the Holy Spirit is one OF the
many modern testimonies Of the power or the
risen Lord that is leading the hosts of God on
to complete the triumph of Christ when he re-
vealed on resurrection his power over
life and death.
The religion of Jesus contains the only nope
for the world. His is the only religion that
meets the needs of all men, He is the only
founder of religion that has risen from the
dead and offers everlasting life to all. Let us
consecrate ourselves around his empty tomb
this Easter morn to help him save the worlo
by carrying the gospel of his resurrection to
all that are lost-Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson

FOR SCTATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
This Pronounced Case In
Minneapolis After Other
treatments Failed.

Sciatica is neuralgia Of the sciatis

matte and is the direct result Of taking
cold. For this reason the disease is
commonly known as "sciatic rheuma-
tism" That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that Of Mrs. j. B. Hansen, of
No. 221 Twentieth Ave, So, Minnea-
polls, Mimi. She says:
"a few years ago following an attack
of the grip I was taken with sciatica.
For six years l suffered untold agony
and thought it would be blessing to
me if could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms were
affected also but not SO severely. lie /
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me so that [ had TO scream. My
limbs would swell until could hardly
walk. / also had terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbear-
able. / was confined to bed for week
or two at a time. While suffering from
the sciatica [ was further rundown by
weakness common to women of my age.
81 received so little relief from the
doctors medicine that | became dis
couraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur

had taken the pills short time but
took several boxes until | was certain |
was cured. / give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as / was through using DIR.

The tonic treatment with DIR. Will

the sound medical principle that the
health of the nerves depends on pure,
red blood.
