For Rheumatic
 Neuralgia Pains
Rheuma Dissolves the Uric Acid Which Settles in the
 Tissues of Tender Nerves

Rheumatic neuralgia is oIe of the most painful forms of rheumatism. It is due to weak kidneys allowing set tlement of uric acid in the tissues of the body near the tender nerves. There is no swelling or fever, but agonizing pain Liniments may dead en the pain, but the disease must be cured through the kidneys
 Rheuma, the splendid remedy for all forms of rheumatism, quickly dissolves the uric acid crystals and passes them off through the kidneys and bowels, and the immediate relief Is so pro nounced that you won't guess you are being rid of rheumatism-you will know it.

NORWICH TOWN
HigFianders of Kentucky Described by Mrs. DeLons-Oeath of Mrs. Albert H. MineT-Scouts Find No Moths.

The coming together of so many ladies interested In missions and the address by Mrs. DeLong of Washing ton street, describing the uaountaineers of Kentucky and the Pine Mountain school, made the meeting of the Home Missionary society of the First Con- gregationaI church Wednesday after noon a memorable one. After @ short opening service, Miss Louise Hyde ac- conpanied for the solo by Miss Ruth L. Potter
 Mrs DeLoug in picturing the condi- tiOns in these mountains of Kentucky, so isolated and remote from the world, said that the lIighlanders had the primitive virtues of the Anglo SaxonS and that no better material for good citizens could be found in America. These uoUntaineers are sometimes confused with the poor whites of the south. but they are not from the same ancestry at all. The latter came from the shiftleSS and undesirables of the old world, while these where the school is located were from the settlers who came with Daniel Boone and pushing on made their home in these noun tains. They retain the customs of two hundred years ago and their quaint expressions are the language of Chau- Cer's time.
 Among them are TO churches, no social life of the right kind. Yet they have sterling qualities of character, as one of them said: Because we cannot read, we have a heap of time to think" Loyal to their kinsmen, their saying is We stand by our kins;' but this characteristic and the Whiskey lead to fearful feuds.
 In these homes of poverty are often found women of strength and charm, who manage in some way to bring up large families, and with the generoSi- ty of an earlier age, look after orphans by taking them into their homes and caring for them as for their own. Mrs. DeLong jnstanced one woman having Is children, taking 13 orphans to care for Schools are needed for the de- velopnent of good qualities of charac- ter in these children of isolated homes in the primevaI forest, where in spring abounds the laurel and the beautiful rhOdodendron.
 Mrs. Belongs visits to this region and to the Pine Mountain school, where her daughter, Miss Ethel De- Long, is q teacher, made most inter esting her description of the pupils and gave many a glimpse of their home life and of the great results of school work. One illustration of such results was that of young man who had been 8 hard drinlter presenting one of the teachers at Christmas time a sword 150 years old, which had been used in the Revolution; tied to the hilt was the temperance pledge with his name signed. The speaker stated most en- phatical1y America has no richer as set than these sturdy mountain people from whom will come in the next gen. erauon leaders of the future.
 During the social hour which fol- lowed the meeting, tea was served, and it was most pleasant to meet the la dies present from the city churches,

TWIN BEDS
At the Davis Theatre Matinee and
 Evening Today.

Hen who are of conviviaI habits and who retire to their domicile slight ly under the weather can see them selves as others see them when they watch Signor Aonti, the famous Ital- iar tenor, in Selwyn & company's pro ductjOn of Twin Beds, prepare to re- tire. An umbrella hanging on his right wrist is a source of annoyance, and yet he is too intoxicated to take it off He cannot remove his collar, which is Of the turndown variety, so tears off the outer portion, leaving the inside still about his neck. His trous- CTS cause him much concern. After he has succeeded ln donning his suit of pajamas. he climbs into the vacant twin bed with the light. This he can not extnguish, so he raises the um- breIla, excludes the light and falls asleep. It is uproariously funny and nothing offensive or vulgar in 1t. bar ring the fact that the character is in- foxicated. Selwyn & company are sending Twin Beds to the Davis thea Ire today Matinee, 25c to S1 Even ing. 25c to S1.5O. Secure your seats early.
