Sciatica Gives
 Fair Warning
Start Taking Rheuma at Once and Prevent Rheumatism
 from Becoming Chronic

Sharp, darting pains from the hips down the legs to the knee are signals of approach of sciatica, and should be treated at once to prevent rhcurna- tism becoming chronic.
 Pheuma dislodges the little uric acid crystals in the blood vessels feeding the great sciatic nerve and creates a free movement of the muscles and joints It stimulates the kidneys, liver, bowels and skin to extra work in throwing off the irritating poisons throughout the system.
 Read the testimony of Guy Torley, the great cyclist, of 265 Dayton Ave, St. Paul, A1inn.: T was so crippled with sciatic rheumatism in my hips that I could not walk without crutcheS. I spent over $500 without relief Was persuaded to try Rheunla, and after taking three bottles the rheunlat tism had entirely left me"
 Lee 6 Osgood and all druggists sell Rheun1a. It is good for all forms of rheuna tisnl, and costs so little you cannot afford to suffer for want of it.

CHAOS IN MEXICO
Indicated by Letter Received from pr.

4 letter from Mrs. John Rowland in Mexico, received in New Haven early in February and forwarded here this week, tells Of present conditions there. This letter, dated Jan. 2, 1915, is the braVest letter and is the la St word re- ceived from Dr. and Mrs. Rowland. She writes of the journey to Gaudala- jara mot very bad,'' though the last day and evening crowded in a seat with four heavily armed soldiers, crowd dense in the aisles of the car, no pos Slblnty of leaving my seat no trace of our lost trunk can be got, as no one is responsible. counterfeit money, all kinds of money, goods cannot be sold or sent either by land or sea, no way out Of the country except via Fl Paso or those who are in the ports already can sail out crimes terrible by disor- derly soldiers, wholesale political exc cutions.
 The division in the onstitutionaIist army has caused ruin to the cause as far a $ keeping any principles is con cerned. New 1t is only a scramble for places of preferment on whichever is the winning side. Much can be done by the missionaries to help the people bear their troubles and stem the tide Of evil.
 Many in the city and uptown will recall Mrs. Rowland and wonder how such a frail little woman can be in such conditions. The wonderful God given spirit. constant and coura geous, that masters conditions and is a steady light in dark places, Is hers.
 In closing, the letter reads: q am glad to think of you as quiet in your peaceful homes. We have never been thankful enough for the blessings of peace"

1879 the total number of wives in those twenty-two families was 1,0S6. with a decline in the total number of children from 27,320 to 3,004, and the average number of children per wife being only PIT.
 In 1897 MT Crum investigated the birthrate of Massachusetts during the period 1850 to 1890. He found that POP per cent of the native mar ried women were without children, as against 13.3 per cent of the mar ried women of foreign birth. And the census of 1885 showed the aver age number of children living per each native married woman to have been 1.92, against 3.01 for the mar ried women of foreign birth. MT. Crum writes:
 "This table reveals most clearly the decadence of the original stock. which with almost boundless energy cleared the forests, gleaned the un- even fields from the glacial stone drift, built in quick time their home. ly cabins, and, moving from tract to

 Nowadays even the children in American families exhibit curiosity on beholding more than one or two children in family.

Tho little girl of one-child mother in- nocently inquired if the mother with two children was an American!"

 Since that time statistics on the subject have multiplied. In a recent number of the Journal of the Amer ican Statistical Association Fred erick s. Crum analyses the figures with startling results. His analyses are based upon twenty-two genea- logical records of American families. Prior to the year 1700 the wives in those families totalled 276, with a total of 2,O34 children, the average number of children per wife being 7.37. Up to 1S49 the members of those families multiplied steadily In that year the total number of wives was 5,530, with a total of 27,32O chil. dren; but the average number of children per wife had declined to 4.94.
 From that date on into the genera ton preceding the present one-the date given being 1879, the latest upon which complete statistics are avail able-there was steady decline. In

 The first strong note of alarm over this situation was struck ten years ago by Frank N Hagar in his book entitled "The American Family" In the chapter headed "Decadence of Northern Yankees' MT. Hagar wrote:

 For every hour spent by the child who DOES go to the Sunday school five are spent at the movies. And those who do not go to the Sunday school are the ones who are harmed the most by the disreputable movie, and who need the possible uplift the most.
 In one town I asked the Congrega- tional minister what he though about the local movie. He said that the matter did not interest him because it was too tough. I asked him why he did not help to change it and he said that if he were to interest him. self in such things his people would not like it, as the movie did not have very good name, etc." In another small place the priest in charge of a small Roman Catholic Church had taken the matter into his own hands and improved matters considerably.
 Of course I realize that the rural clergyman is hampered by the dense and even cruel narrowness and big otry of his congregation. Neverthe- less, I am satisfied that here is much needed work that ought to be done even if it does stir up the "hard shells" The need Is not the less in the community too small to have a paying movie.
 Here is the need of recreation for the young especially. The lack of it has been chiefly responsible for the decline in morals, health and citizenship of rural New England.
