hon. l.. A. ROZIER AD-
DRESSES MONDAY CLUB

The alonday Club, il Is study of
Sociology wished some accurate know
ledge of the laws of Missouri, as they
relate to and affect women. So they
invited Hon. T.. A. Rozior to address
the Club and its friends on "The Laws
of Missouri Relating to Women"
In a most interesting and instruc-
tive address, Mr.. Rozier traced the
growth of the family and the COM
munity and showed how this gather
ing together Of people in closer asso-
citation necesstated the formation of
laws for the government of such COM
munities. He showed that the laws of
Missouri are based on the Common
Law of England and set forth in the
development of those laws through
the Feudal Ages and succeeding peri
ods--under the common laws of Eng
land the speaker said the unmarried
woman had the same status as man,
and the laws of Missouri have not
been changed in this respect In re-
lation to married women, there have
been some changes in the old law, the
most important being the married
Women's Act of 1889" Some of the
provisions Of this act are that mar
ried woman has the right to engage
in business, to conduct all her affairs
in her own name, has a right TO her
own earnings. to create debts on her
own account; and she must join in
deeds to fully convey title. A very
important statute provides that the
husband cannot take any property
of the wife cNcopt with her consent
in writing.
In conclusion the speaker said:
after careful reading | am compelled
to say that the entire policy Of the
laws Of Missouri has been to guard
and to protect the wife, to maintain
her in all her property rights and to
compel the husband to prevent harm
coming to her. Whether in the pres
cnt day of woman's independence,
their entering more and more into sep
arate sources of employment, and by
reason thereof becoming less depend
ent upon mankind win result IN fur
ther evolution of the law, ! am unable
to say. But it is apparent that all
laws were based upon maintaining the
supremacy Of the home, of encourag
ing and developing the marital rcla-
tions, of improving the lot of woman
kind, in the home, and of discouraging
the necessity Of placing women among
the brcadwinners.
The talk was greatly enjoyed by the
Clubwomen and their guests who as
sembled in the NJ. +. Church, South,
Monday afternoon.

Great Caesar, at the hands Of his

DOLLAR CHRISTMAS FUND"

Today hundreds Of thousands Ct
Bclgiars, French, Germans, Austrians,
ct. al, are homeless and pennilcSs
refugees, seeking food, shelter and
clothing in land that only six months
ago was the peaceful abode OF happy
and prosperous occupants; but to-
day is a vast expanse of waste, de-
vassation and suffering. To their
cries of distress the great heart of
America harkens and ship-load after
ship-load of food and clothing is be-
ing sent there to partially relieve
their dire want.
"The Dollar Christmas Fund" !"
which is being provided, will be
spent for Xmas gifts for those or
phaned children and widowed mothers
in an effort to assist in appeasing their
grief and to convey TO them Ameri-
cas- fraternity and hospitality, thus
reviving in them hope, confidence and
love.
Many of those exiles, no doubt, feel
that the world has only cruel knocks
for them, so these gifts at this sea
son of the year will be quite fitting
! and will revive In them feeling that
they are not entirely friendless.

SUGGESTS NEW PLAN
FOR SCHOOL READING

"The public school is one Of the
most wastefu institutions in the
state" says j. l.. Merriam, professor
of school supervision at the University
of Missouri at Columbia ITO Illus
trate this waste, take the buying of
school books. When n class of thirty
runs out of reading matter the parents
pay SO for thirty new books, all alike.
They have bought only 100 pages of
new reading material. That class had
better been supplied with different
books which would give the pupils
thirty times the amount of reading
they are now getting in a large per-
centage of schools
Professor Merriam says that reading
is more efficiently taught from diff
ferent readers than when each pupil
has read the story two or three times.
There is no chance for the pupil to
become interested in what another pu-
pill is reading if the story is stale to
him. Again, there is no incentive to
the reader to try to read well when
he knows that no other pupil cares
anything about his reading.
Put a new story into that pupils
hands. He is interested in it. He
knows that the rest of the class is
interested too. Then he has an incen-
tive to do good reading.
Professor Merriam recommends that
teachers gather clippings of stories
that interest them. A file Of stories
gathered in this way viii soon be an
interesting part Of a reading course.
In the University of Missouri Ele-
meutary School, which is under the
direction of Professor Merriam as n
practice school for the students in
the School Of Education, there IS n
large file Of this sort extending over
a number Of years. Now, when a
class is going to study a given sub
ject. squirrels, for instance, the teach
err can turn to the file and have per
haps fifty stories to read on this sub.
ject.
To aid in getting the teachers in
teres.cd in better methods of teaching
Professor Merriam with the aid of the
teachers in the University Elementary
School is working on two books deal
ing with reading in public schools
The first is a discussion Of the schoo
curriculum with suggestions for chan
ges bettcrmcnt, or variation. The see
ond is series Of guides for teachers
in the selection Of readings for th'
pupils,

L. S. GOVERNMENT G. WILL.
AID MISSOURI FARMER


The United States government has
shown its faith in the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Missouri
to the extent Of putting it in charge
of the total amount of the Smith-Leyer
funds for the state. The Smith-Lever
Bill, which was passed by Congress
last spring, gives to the state of Mis-
souri, during the coming nine years,
for the purpose Of demonstration and
extension work, a sum of almost eight
hundred thousand dollars.
This year the state got $4,000 of
the appropriation. The College of
Agriculture is dividing it among five
types Of aid for farmers and stock
raiscrs Of the state hog cholera
eradication, movable achools Of home
economies, boys and girls club work,
dairy and poultry demonstration and
egg marketing.
Next year the appropriation from
the United States government will
amount to $685. ,03G, provided the state
makes an appropriation of s23,036 to
be used for the same purpose. The
United States government requires n
state appropriation each year equal
to the appropriation for all over $40,
900. The fund from the United States
government increases each year until
in the ninth year the state of Missouri
will receive Sl67.411.

BELCHlNG.

Belching is a sign of hysteria, neuT-
Asthenia, or some other kind OF a
Jimmy. Furthermore. 1t Is a habit, and
bad one. 1t belongs In the class with
stammering, in that one learns how to
DO wrong when doing right is easier.
IL Is true little gas may form from
accomplishing food in the stomach, but
the quantity will be small. A little gas
may find its way from the intestines
into the stomach, but the gas inflated
areas Of the intestines are some inches
away, and the direction OF flow is away
from the stomach.
Practically all the gas belched Is first
swallowed as gas. We swallow some air
when we eat hastily. We swallow gas
with carbonated water, when we chew
up, In many different ways. The pro-
fuse belchers. however, deliberately
swallow air and then quickly belch 1t
up. .a "
II you will watch the Adams apple OF
person drinking water you will mo-
tice a certain characteristic swallowing
motion. Now notice the Adams apple
Of belcher in action, and you will see
that he first swallows the air and then
belches 1t, Physicians demonstrate 1t
more plaininly by watching the Adams
apple with x-rays.
How Is the habit acquired? A person
Dvereats. In his distended stomach
there Is q good deal Of air. He belches
and gets relief. Recollection of this re-
mains with him In his subconscious
| hch is too tight. He can belch no gas
10 get relief. He swallows air and
| then belches II. Before he knows 1t
he has acquired the habit.
Neurotics, Inconsistencies and hys-
terics are apt to get this habit, just
rs they are prone to get the whisky
habit, or the morphine habit, or to-
bacco habit.
OF course, back of the habit lies
some error. 1t may be overeating, rapid
eating, irregular eating, or indigestion,
slow digestion. dilation Of the stomach,
Or mild neuralgia Of the stomach.
The habit has been acquired In an
sffort to find relief from some discom-
tort. When such discomfort shows It
belf in q sensible person, he changes
whatever is wrong. When II shows It
self in O neurotic. he leaves the cause
nndisturbed, but takes to belching, just
hs another neurotic who feels off a
little takes to morphine, or cocaine, or
whisky. .s.t.N
Does any harm result? Yes; often.
| The belching of air siphons bile into
the stomach. Biles does not belong
there. Bile persIstently in the stomach
disturbs the digestion. The longer the
belcher belches to relieve his stomach
the more surely he embarrasses his
stomach.
The persistent swallowing OF air up
Bets the working of the gate into the
stomach and also the gate out Of the
stomach. The stomach may become
ailated through the persistent swallow
| ing of air. 4
However, as bad as any of these Is
the frame of mind OF the belcher He
Is an "ailer." He probably regards
himself as q dyspeptic. He Is pretty
certain to have some form OF persistent
stomach complaint. He gets the soda
habit. "
OF course. to start with, belcher is
not thoroughly we'll poised or he would
not be a belcher. But the habit makes
him more OF an "ailer"

belonged.
1t was late at night when the darby
pulled up his span before the doors Of
the inn, which WAS presided over by a
lady of generous heart and equal pro-
portions. When he went to the desk
to engage a room White was apollo
getically told that 1t was impossible,
on account of the influx of visitors, to
give him a separate chamber.
II guess I can get separate bed,
then" said he. But to this the reply
was the same.
May l ask who Is to be my bed
fellow" asked White, who did not
relish the idea of sharing his couch
with stranger.
Why" replied the landlady, 1T will
be the gentleman with whom you
came"
"Oh, that's all right then" said
White, with a sigh of relief. He

church and have been sleeping togeth-
or during the II o'clock sermon in the
First Baptist church for 20 years. -
