Rheuma Acts Quickly and Surely Money Back as Quickly If It Fails.

Thousands of persons during the last year freed themselves from the bondage of Rheumatism; rid them selves of the torturing pain. reduced the swollen joints; threw away canes and crutches, and from helpless be- ings became able to work and be of use to themselves.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Dutch Treats.

Speaking of the emancipation of woman and all that. there is one little item that seems to be overlooked. In order to get upon the same footing as man, the woman demands the vote, the right to be a police officer and to sit on a jury. the privilege of being a lawyer physician, preacher and mer- chant, commercial traveller author and clerk, and the eligibility to carry the latch key.
 One thing is passed by in the strife of tongues. It is the right of the woman to pay.
 Think, sisters! So long as custom demands that you allow the male to settle the bill at the restaurant when you AaYe consumed $10 worth of birds and vintage, while he has had milk toast, on the plea of indigestion, but for the real reason of impecuniosity, will you not always be upon the level of an inferior, a child. a slave?
 Would not girl feel far more in dependent, and hold up her head with a far prOuder mien, if, when she goes to a theater, she were to pay her half tickets and of the supper? Why should she be a pensioner for her amuSem entS upon man?
 Money is the real badge of seritude. It is economic dependence, they tell us, that is throttling femininity.
 Budding suffragettes, therefore, might do well to reflect that if they wish simon pure Individuality they should insist upon Dutch treats. Then, instead of being ''his girl,'' some one to be sheltered and fought for and paid for by him, she would be a com rade and, possibly, a superior.

WATCH YOUR STEP
Panic Is All Talk.
BY THE CONDUCTOR

ITO hear some fellows talk you'd think this country was gonna go to the dogs on account O automobiles.
 They keep sayin' business is bein' hurt cause so many people blow their coin buyin' rubber tires an gasoline You hear 'em tellin they's gonna be a panic if them cray guys don't stop traddin' their houses off for bigger cars an more of 'em.
 That's all balderdash! Panics ain't comin' just cause moneys circulatin' It's when it don't circulate panics come So longs motor cars is bein bought an sold they have to make 'em am repair 'em. don't they? You don't hear none of them fellows in tn auto mobile business hollerin' bout panic
 "Theys whole towns an cities makin' money off O rubber tires! Tn people that buys lem have to loosen up an let go tn money to get 'em with. That money ain't locked up. It's ain't tn spender brings on tn panic. It's the old tightwad. settin' get too cheerful cause the sun is shinin', for tomorrow it'll rain.
 Don't you remember all about that last panic we had? It wasn't hard hard times on account O poor crops, or war or polytics. They wasn't any lered fire an every bank an buildin' loan commenced to run. Every fellow that had money or anythin' that look ed like money froze to it like 1t was his last square meal.
 Did you ever stop to figger out how we got over that panic. It wasn't good crops, nor any war stoppin' nor any body bein' elected. It was when old moneybags loosened up, and people commenced buyin' automobiles an rubber tires again, an makin ducks an drakes O. their money. That made good times. An when you want hard times get fussy bout folks blowin their cash. Tell 'em they're havin' too good time. an tn banks an tight wads d like to make 'em feel little miserable, Then trot out your panic. It's nothing moren an old bull whip, to make children stop havin' fun.

OPIUM SMUGGLING

There is no more important avenue of operation for the federal agents than the activity which is from time 10 time manifested in the checking of the smuggling of opium into this coun- try. This is necessarily a task which requires patience and constant atten- tion as revealed by the large seizure of the drug at New York this week and the disclosure of one large avenue of entrance and possibly the distribut- ing point for smugglers to this coun = try.
 Smugglers not only avoid the tariff but they overcome the law which for bids the bringing of opium into the country except for medicinal purposes. It is the evasion of this law which calls for the exercise Of the greatest viz lance by the government authorities. It is the smuggling into the country Of this drug which causes an endless amount of misery and suffering and contributes in a marked degree to the stimulation of vice conditions.
 Little sympathy should be wasted upon the Wilful violators of the opium law who are working as part of a system to undermine the welfare of fellow men for the sole purpose of tue HhdnCidl FeIurn- ODlum and other drugs made therefrom are too easily obtained now under the existing law for any encouragement of snug gling with the attendant increased use of opium The suppression of the traf- fc is demanded and it is a most val uahle service which is being rendered in compliance with such a demand. It is such attacks at the source which have most telling effect upon one of the worst kinds of lawbreakers.

TESTING AUTo DRIVERS.

The large number of automobile ac- cidents and fatalities call attention 10 the necessity of insisting upon greater safety in operation. The necessity of overcoming recklessness is revealed bv every accident, while the need of greater care is apparent in number less instances where accidents are narrowly avoided. Speed, disre- gard for the rules of the highway and a failure to observe regulations which have been imposed or the absence of wisdom which should be possessed bv operators even though 1t has not been set forth in black and white on every barpost are the leading causes for much of the trouble
 The failure to profit by experience or the acts of others has led to the adoption of advanced measures in some states for determining the com petence of drivers. In New Jersey this has resulted in the rejection of fully one-ffth of the applicants for drivers licenses because they were un- able on a test to operate the car with proper regard for the law.

CONNECTICUT SHEEP.

Much has been said about the adapt ability of New England and Connect icut to sheep raising. The advisabil- ity of engaging in such industry is often set forth in addresses to farmers with an accompanying state ment of the returns which should be obtained therefrom. Such opinions are based upon a knowledge of sheep raising, the necessary requirements and the available conditions in this part of the country for carrying on such a business. This was in the mind of Prof. Mclean of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural college in ad- dressing the mid-winter meeting of the board of agriculture when he said: A large part of Connecticut is well adapted for sheep raising. Our fields as a rule are rocky, our winters are long, our soils are light The climate the soil and the altitude of New Eng land are favorable for sheep rais- ing. This can be proved when we note that New England conditions are sim liar to those in countries where sheep have reached their highest perfec- ton"
 All of which is unquestionably true concerning the opportunities and con- ditions but it is the experience of farmers in sheep raising such as that of Farmer Lathrop at Gardner Lake where the greater part of his flock was killed by dogs which reveals the great handicap to sheep raising in Connecticut. This has been for a long time and Is today one of the chief reasons for less sheep raising in this state Nothing is more discouraging than to have business destroyed in such a manner and 1t is likely to show little improvement until some adequate relief from such loss is provided That means either less dogs or less sheep.

NON ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS.


 The latest instance of the danger which constantly attends the laxity in the enforcement of the law appears in Cincinnati where the sweeping of the Salvation Army Industrial home by fire caused the loss of a number of lives. 1t was the second tragedy of like character within a brief period following as 1t did closely, after the much larger death loss in the Boston lodging house fire In the latter in stance orders had been issued for the equipment of the building with addi tional fire escapes and in Cincinnati the building had been condemned by the authorities. but in both instances no attention was paid to the orders and in neither case had the obeying of the order been forced.
 Many are the instances where the enforcement of the law makes no diff ference with life and death, but in both of these cases it manifestly did. The orders were issued for the pro lection of life. They were not obeyed because such was the gen. eral procedure in connection with such orders The impotency of the author ities stands out in glaring criticism of the manner of doing municipal busi- ness investigations which may be made or orders issued are useless un- less they carry with them the proper amount of respect The situation is made worse by the fact that it was known that such death traps existed to enforcing the requirements for safe

similar requirements are insisted upon in Massachusetts and In Rhode Island a driver or owner of a car must have driven a machine a certain distance accompanied by competent instruc- tor before a license is granted him.
 The necessity of such requirements has been determined by the need of replacing inefficiency in motor ear driving with operators who have a proper knowledge of their work and the important mental equipment for observing the law and the rights of others.

ARMY INVESTMENTS.

The need of an awakened interest in the army for the purpose of main tainfng the ranks at the proper stan- dard even in time of peace, has been freqnently urged It is now brought to notice again by Brigadier General E N. Weaver. chief of the coast ar tillery. who points out the insufficient number of men now in the service to properly take care of the duties to say nothing of the serious problem of ob- taining sufficient experienced artillery men to station at the new notifications which are about completed The question is how to create greater interest in the service to overcome the existing shortage, which however does not apply to the coast artillery branch alone.
 There have been various reasons for the depletion of the ranks of the army during times of peace. Certain reg ulations may have accounted for some withdrawals on the completion of the term of enlistment, but the fact that there are fewer who are enlisting for the first time, or a decrease in re- enlistments can to a large extent be attributed to the prosperous conditions which have existed in all lines of bus mess More and bigger opportunities have been offered in these lines of eff fort without the restrictions of army life
 In behalf of awakening a greater in terest among possible recruits the sug- gestion has been made that the state militia be placed under a stricter gov ernment supervision and inspection for the creation of deeper interest in that body for regular army enlist ment The tendency in the past few years has been towards such an end and there is reason to believe that it may yet result in the desired action. It is certainly a logical field for oper- afinn

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Greatest Combination of Rowing Experts that Ever Served to Handle Yale Crew-Nathan Hale Statue to be Unveiled Next Spring-Phi Beta Kappa Criticisms.

New Haven, Dec, 1S.-When Capt. T. B. Denegre announced this week his appointments of crew coaches, made with the unanimous approval of the graduate advisory committee on row ing there was much surprise among those who had not been in close touch with the discussions as to the future that the crew authorities have been having for weeks past. And because those who did not know what was in the air were few. the announcement of the names of Richard Armstrong, 's5S., of Hampton. Va. as resident graduate In charge of rowing, and of Guy Niekalls and c. F. Giannini of the New York Athletic club as his assist ants, was quite unexpected to the great majority of Yale men, who mad been led to anticipate the choice Of quite another head coach.
 But while the three men chosen to take charge of Yale oarsmen may not be as familiar figures in intercollegiate rowing as Wray and Ten Eyck and Courtney, to men who follow the work of other than college crews Nickalls and Gianini are known as masters of their art. Coach Armstrong was cap- tain of his victorious university crew in '95 under the Bob Cook regime, and has taken a live interest Tn the Yale navy since. His function, so the Yale News states it. officially, is not

The compromise that came out of the survey of the field by the committee and captain forms, says the News editorially. the great est combination of rowing experts that ever coached any undergraduate crew. And the function of MT. Armstrong, the graduate, is not only Ito keep rowing a sport, but to prevent interested graduates from interfering with the coaches Mr Armstrong, therefore, will act largely as an organizer, or diplomat, and will not take an active part in the coaching. His position will be graduate manager rather than ac- tive coach, and for this he is ideally fitted
