Those OF us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and In
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from goutb swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, "Anuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for vAnuric" for kidneys
or backache. It will overcome such
conditions az rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed ct night.

rivalry with men in serving pulpits
if they had been so minded.
"Besides their joint work with
men; the women through their own
auxiliary organizations, usually
called sisterhoods or temple socie-
ties, have exerted a tremendous in
fluence in synagogue life, energizing
and extending the activities of the
congregations to which they are at
tached, religionizing the home and
bringing the congregation in close
touch with the life Of the general
community.
"To indicate the forward strides
made In this direction 1t will suf-
flee to mention that the National
Federation Of Temple Sisterhoods,
organized less than five years ago as
the women's auxiliary to the Union
Of American Hebrew Congregations,
has grown to a body Of more than
two hundred organizations, with a
membership exceeding $4,000.

never been ordained.
Among liberal Jews to-day" says
Rabbi Ephraim Frisch, Of the New
Synagogue, "the influence Of woman
in congregational life Is fully the
equal Of mans, and if there be any
difference it Is in her favor. She is
recognized as the superior Of the two
sexes in spiritual receptivity and
ethical purpose. The men appreci-
ate that she is the custodian and dis
seminntor not only of culture and
recreation, but even more so Of re-
ligious and moral values, and are
happy to have her unrestricted CO.
operation in the endeavors of the
synagogue.
Accordingly. she now participates
on a footing Of virtual equality
everywhere. and Of technical equal
ity In all but few backward con-
gregations, the latter constituting a
steadily diminishing number. She
takes part in all business meetings
with the men, exercising the ballot.

But at the farm no one considers
him problem. Mrs. j. sees to it
that he does his work we'll and on

doesn't need a bit of looking after"
she says, and for the rest she sees
that he also has as good time as
extra cookies and other boyish de-
lights can make for him. And the
boy goes home happy, with his earn
ings in his pocket and very proud of
his part-timc mothers friendship and
her confidence in him.
OF course the usual objection is
that the labor may be "thrown away"
children being notably ungrateful.
Suppose it is "thrown away? Why
should children be grateful? Graft

characteristic attitude Of child Is
his acceptance Of maintenance and
care and affection as matter Of
course. Who Of us in early life was

Rights Unlimited, but
Women Bishops Unknown

"In the Reformed Church." !"
says the Rev. Henry E. Cobb, Of
the West End Collegiate Church,
"the woman's status has been un-
changed. She has always had the
right of suffrage in the church and
her sphere of activity is unlimited.
There is no reason why woman
should not be elected to tho Con-
sistory, the ruling body Of the
church, though, SO far as I know,
this has never been DONE"
In the Methodist, Congregational
and Presbyterian churches women
enjoy every right Of men. though q
woman bishop in the Methodist
Church Is unheard Of. These pull
pits are often occupied by women,
especially in the suburban towns. In
frequent instances when the hus-
band Is unable to be present the

"There is no prohibition against a

Of men to these executive offices.
Now and then, in the very small

The Lutherans Feel
The Undercurrent

The Rev. Charles j. Smith, pas
tor of the Church of the Holy Trim
ity, says: $50 far as l know, the
Lutheran Church has not taken any
official action which would admit
women to a larger share in the d.
rection of church matters. Many Of
our Lutheran congregations, how
ever, of their own initiative are in
vltlng women to serve as members
of their official boards or councils.
At the last meeting of the Synod
of New York and New England, one
of the constituent bodies of the
United Lutheran Church, two Of
the congregations sent women dele
gates as their lay representatives on
the floor Of the convention. The
United Lutheran Church in North
America, through it's executive
board, has invited the women's
missionary societies to send repre-
sentatives to attend the regular
meetings of all it's missionary
boards. These ladies act as advi-
sorry members and keep the women
of the church informed as to the
work which the boards are doing.
"There seems to be in our church
an undercurrent Of opinion which
will eventually demand that the
women, who are so deeply interest
ed in the work and who support it
so generously both with their time
and means, shall have a larger
share in the direction Of our relig-
ious and social work"

has at her farm a stranger lad,
usually boy from twelve to sixteen
sometimes for a few weeks, some
times for a year. One hears, though
never from her, that the boy Is "dif-
ficult"; that he is from the nearby
town and his "mother can do nothing
with him." He hangs around the
street corners all the time; or ~'s~ At

IN THE quaint old towns Of Italy
there are professions On holy
j days, when an image >of the
Christ and an image of the Virgin
Mary are carried from the church
through the streets and back to the
church again.
These holy images are carried by
men. Men walk with bowed heads
in the procession. Men perform all
th, Offices when the images are car
r;ed out of the church and returned
to their places. No woman is per-
mtted to take any part in the pro-

The Episcopal Church "Not
Altogether Lagging Behind"

In an Episcopal church in Eng
land a few years ago woman
was forbidden to lead the "Inter-
cession," the reason for the refusal
being that the church was conse-
Grated.
At the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church in Detroit last
week, q memorial was presented by
Robert H. Gardiner, and signed by
over a thousand laymen and women
and priests, asking that the constitu-
ton Of the church be so amended
as to permit laywomen as we'll as
men to represent the diocese and
missionary districts in the House Of
Deputies of the General Convention.
BY emitting the word "layman" any
| four communicates" of the church
may be sent from each diocese, and
one from each missionary district,
which reading would, of course, make
the women eligible.
The reasons given for this amend
ment make fitting and inspiring
climax for any record Of the steadily
increasing recognition, and sharing
Of responsibility and executive
power with the women in the
churches, where they have always
carried the greater part of the
burden of the work and given the
greater share of faithful attendance
and support. The memorial reads
as follows:
''In the last five years the
whole world has placed upon
the willing shoulders of women
an increasing responsibility for
active participation in the
struggle for world wide free
dom and democracy, and for
the new order, international,
national, social and industrial,
which finds its basis and its hope
in the fact Of the Incarnation,
and the great services which
women have rendered have
proved their practical capacity,
their high ideals and their sense
Of public duty, and therefore, in

part of the United States, the

A Landslide
Toward Liberalism


But that, you will say, is in Italy
Il could not be true of this country.
Perhaps not to this extent, but this
il true: that some of the churches
grant women no greater rights and
privileges than they enjoyed a GEN.
tury ago; some Of the churches are
so lacking in a spirit of progress
that they almost merit place in
that procession in Italy.
Women by entering other profess
sions have greatly enriched them.
This is not disputed. The spiritual
life of church is deeper where men
and women work equally as COM
rades, and there are already signs
that women are drifting outside the
influence of those churches which
practically refuse them any real
share in the management of the
church or any opportunity to fill its
Offices. No one will listen to a church
il it is teaching a principle the right
application of which it has been at
no pains to ascertain and work out
n nrelation to its own members. 1t is a
fundamental principle Of Christian
ity that there must be full respect
for the value and claims of every
human being, "Jew or Gentle, bond
or free, male or female" When this
principle is violated the churches are
apt to lose their power.
Men have long been drifting from
the church; Of late years there has
heen landslide Of the women from
Churches in which they are given no
'ore to churches where there are
Eomen leaders. The man in the pull
pit often talks tenderly and eloquent
" yof womanhood, but after the ser
wee he may vote to give woman no
greater right in the church than if
she were an image on the walls, linn
ltlng her to that field Of usefulness
which has always been held as ft-
singy hers, /. e., the raising of the
money and the doing of the work.
1t has been predicted that the
struggle for the recognition of the
1uii Liberty Of women Will be the bit
efess and most relentless when
women seek q wider service In the
church; that the last stronghold of
injustice to contend against will be
ae church. 1t is a struggle that has
aaa us beginning. The church, as a
0's.lnet form Of religion, will stand
Tall according to whether it shows
..'ei willing to move with the times

.'om all but a negligible part ir
