FARMERS' WIVES GET ATTENTION
"When Uncle Sam, solicitous about the welfare of
the farmers' wives of the land, sent out inquiries
to members of this class of society for suggestions
as to how the lives of rural women may be made
more endurable, he evidently gave those worthy
women just such an opportunity to tell of their
grievances as they have been patiently awaiting
these many years.
That the farmers' wives have well established
ideas about needed improvements in rural life and
that they hesitate not in the least to express their
views for Uncle Sam's benefit is evident from the
contents of such replies received by the Department
of Agriculture as have been given publicity. The
women do not bewail their fate, but they do suggest
that it might be improved upon.
Less drudgery and more wholesome recreation
seem to be the principal needs of the farmers' wives.
They say that sufficient hired help cannot be ob
tained for farm work, despite statistics concerning
the urban unemployed. It seems also that help
within families is scarce because crops of stalwart
children are noti»as bounteous as they might be, and
also because too many of the children get to be
college-bred and for that reason are unsuited to <To
agricultural and domestic work.
Much labor accordingly devolves upon the farm
ers' wives, and as a rule they toil unceasingly from
early morning to early evening. In reward they get
practically nothing except accumulated worrim'ents.
They have few recreations and what they do have
are not tp be compared even to the least of urban
amusements.
Farm life can never have all the comforts and the
benefits of city life. If it luid these, it would be the
ideal existence, for it already has many advantages
which city life can never share. That some improve
ments might be made, however, in the routine of
rural living is certain. These improvements could
be brought about through the energies of the De
partment of Agriculture if the work the department
has undertaken is carried to completion. The de
partment might then turn its attention to over
worked city housewives and improve their domestic
conditions also.
VIRGIL NOT GOOD FOR ALL INFANTS
Passages from Virgil used as lullabies would
hai'dly have the same effect on all babies as they
had on one who has now reached the age of twelve
years, knows eight languages and is an all around
child prodigy. This particular little girl,—for pre
cocious youngsters are no longer exclusively boys,—
has just been discovered by New York newspapers
and her accomplishments have been filling many
columns.
When the child prodigy was born the mother,
who had previously been busy exerting "prenatal
influences," began operations on the education of
the little bundle. She lulled the baby to slumber
with lines of Virgil, and thus acquainted it with
Latin is soon as with English. We are not told
whether the infant slept well on the Virgil pas
sages. No doubt it did, since it must have been a
precocious child from the start, to have acquired
eight language and all sorts of other more or less
tiseful knowledge in no more than a dozen years.
Not every infant would steep well, however, on
VirgilV poetry. All babies do not respond readily
to ennobling influences, —only prodigies. The others
would be bored, to say the least, by the Latin clas
sics. Just because one infant was lulled to sleep on
Latin poetry and through additional training was

soon able to quote Cicero's most violent orations,
does not prove that all babies raised in like manner
will incline toward speeches concerning politicians
of ancient Rome rather than toward accounts re
garding such famous individuals as Little Red Rid
ing Hood, Little 80-Peep and Little Boy Blue.
MOVIE MEN'S ATTITUDE JUSTIFIED
The motion picture men's stand in refusing to let
the state board of censors use the formers' project
ing machine in the House of Representatives hear
ing last night to display only the eliminated parts
of censored pictures, was an entirely fair one. The
movie men were willing enough to let the censors
display whole pictures with the censored parts re
tained, but to this the censors would not agree.
The movie men contend that often a detached
part o£ a film, taken alone, has the appearance of
being improper when as of fact the show
ing of it is essential to bring out the moral lesson
taught by the film as a whole.
Certainly the censors, if they wanted to be fair,
had nothing to lose by showing the pictures as a
whole.
Take fair warning and don't let anybody fool you to
morrow!
Apparently it is far easier to send a submarine to the
bottom than to the top.
There was a snow flurry on the last, day of March; but
take heart! The price of coal comes down to-morrow.

The stockholders of the Bethlehem Steel Company are

The next step in the scientific development of

submarines.
Representative Cromer, of Allegheny county, objects to
movie shows in the House, on the ground that they prevent
the law-makers from turning their attention to more serious
things. Perhaps if the law-makers had voted themselves
fewer vacations earlier in the session they would not now
be so busy with accumulated legislative measures.

Para on Amazon Tributary
The thriving city of Para is built on
a stretch of low land on the 'bank of
the Para river which is one of the
'broad estuaries of the great Amazon,
and seventy milej from its mouth aud
some eighty miles south of the equator.
Its proximity to the equator and the
low lands of the delta give it an ever
ending hot climate. As tho steamer
approaches t'lie city the many whiite
buildings roofe'd with red tile and gal
vanized iron, the numerous towers,
cupolas of churches and convents, with
clumps of tall waving j- ilm trees, their
tops high above the buildings and sharp
ly defined against the sky, have an es.
pecially pleasing effect. The Para, or
this branch of the Amazon, is thirty-six
miles wide at its mouth; and opposite
the city of Para twenty miles across to
tho continent-island of Mara Jao, there
is a ceries of low, wooded islands strung
along for many miles which contracts
the river view in front of the city and
continues for many miles farther up
stream.

City of Clean Streets
On landing, and after passing the
usual custom house requirements, I
walked out into the broad, park-like
plaza, typical of all Latin cities. The
buildings fronting the principal streets
are three-story structures of Italian
type. A five-minute walk brings one
well into the shopping district where
many well kepi stores are found, not so
large as our more pretentious depart
ment stores at home, except in pn<?e.
Prices are in nearly all cases about
fifty per cent, higher than in the
States. Farther on and over well paved
streets, jassing churches and cathedrals,
I reached tho Grand hotel. Its big,
open patio where you can always find
a cool, breezy corner, is most inviting,
especially at mi May under a vertical
sun. 1 a'm greatly surprised to find
here a city of two hundred thousand
inhabitants with such clean and well
kept streets and substantial buildings;
electric lighted, an up-to-date tram car
service. Automobiles whiz along as if
bound for destruction. The jitney is
not yet in evidence.

Para is considered to be a healthful

KEEP URIC ACID
OUTOF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts
■Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to eure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys'to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness, soreness and pain called rheuma
tism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table&poon
ful in a glass of water aud drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac
tion, (hus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapeß
and lemon juice, combined with litnia
and is usod with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you hdve a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene
ficial to your kidneys as well.—Adv. ,

BODY ¥BISHOP DUBS TO
LIE IN STATEJN SATURDAY
Continued From First Psge.
Saturday, where it may be viewed by
the public. Funeral services will be
gin at 1 o 'clock. The Rev. B. H. Nieb
el, secretary of Missions aud Church
Extension of the United Evangelical
church, will officiate. Addresses will
be made by the Rev. Dr. W. M. Stan
ford, editor of Sunday school litera
ture; tho Rev. Dr. H. B. Hatzler, editor
of "The Evangelical;" the Rev. C. S.
Haman, of Reading, and the Rev. Dr.
John D. Pox, pastor of Grace Methodist
church. Following the church services
the concluding funeral rites will bo
held in the Paxtang cemetery.
Bishop Dubs was a man of strong
personality and had a very remarkable
career. He was born near the city of
Worms, Germany, May 31, 1837. Tho
family ancestors were among the fol
lowers -o"f Huss. He came to this coun
try with his father in 1852, locating
near Freeport, Illinois. He began his
career as a minister in 1855. He con
tinued in the active work of the min
istry through all the years from that
time, laboring incessantly without any
vacations.
Educated in Germany
Bishop Dubs received his earlier edu
cation in Germany. \ After coming to
this country, be pursued studies in the
English language, taking also a the
ological course. His research »in the
realm of theology and current religious
matters was thorough. His intimate
relations with the famous Christlieb of
the University of Borne and with other
theological professors of the schools of
Germany led him into the realm of
theology.
Thero is no German theology of note
with which he was not acquainted. He
knew tho famous -Dr. Lange personal
ly, who also exerted a great influence
over him. Among English-American the
ologians, he had a very high regard for
the work of Dr. Charles Hodge. Of
course Bishop Dubs held to Armenian
theology, for that is the doctrine of his
church. '
Was Missionary Out West
The earlier years of his ministry
were devoted to pioneer missionary la
bors in the states of lowa and. Kansas.
In 186-2 and 1863 he served as finan
cial agent of Northwestern College in
Illinois. In the spring of 1864 he
wa3 elected presiding elder, holding
this office until 1867, when the General
Conference elected him editor of the
"Cbristliche Botsehafter," the German
official organ of his denomination, pub
lished at Cleveland, Ohio. After eight
years of work as editor, he was, in
1875, elevated to the office of Bishop
though but 38 years of age. He was
re-elected to this office from time to
time.
In the years 1891/94 when there
occurred a division in the Evangelical
Association, he identified himself with
tho aide which adopted the name
"United Evangelical v Church." This
body also elected him to the office of
Bishop, in which he continued until
1902. when a law of the church, limit
ing the term of office, prevented an
other re-election. Ho was then chosen
editor of the " Evangelische Zeit
schrift," and continued as such until
October, 1914, when the General Con
ference again placed him iu the office
of Bishop. The entire time iu this of
fice covers a period of more than 27
years, ending with the time of his
death.
A Well Versed Man
Bishop Dubs/ was a man of great in
tellectual power and physical endur
ance. His mind was a yeritablo ency
clopedia of information, and ho was
well versed in American and German
literature, as well as all the topics of
tho day. His much reading and abun
dant travels in this country and Eu
rope gave him a familiarity with men
and affairs such as few persons have.
His memory of persons and details was
remarkable. As a preacher and lec
turer on religious topics, he had few
equals. He was an editor of more than
usual ability. He always had a most
interesting way of imparting informa
tion, whether in the pulpit, on the lec
ture platform, by hig versatile pen or
as a conversationalist. His stock of
knowledge seemed inexhausfable, and
ho was always abreast with tho times.
He was a master of assemblies. These
characteristics placed him in great de
mand as a speaker upon a variety of
occasions. He had a reputation fan be
yond the bounds of his own denomina-
tion. He was frequently called to
speak at great gatherings of the larger
denominations and on undenominational
occasions, such as collego and Y. M. C.
*A. assemblies. His addresses were
characterized by a deep spiritual tone;
consequently liis hearers were often
moved into sympathy with the subject
presented and to definite action. His
sermons gave evidence of a genuine
personal religious experience.
