WOMAN'S PLACE.

A decision of the Philadelphia court jrasterd&y offsetting the monetary Claims of a wife and outlining the court's notion of her position in the house may be expected to elicit a fresh discussion of some pertinent considerations of the "woman question."

Hoping to stop the foreclosure of a mortgage on his property, a citizen of Philadelphia presented in court a prior Slortgage in favor of his wife, th» freater part of which was calculated to cover theoretical payment to his •life of $6 a week, for housekeeping

Mi Vices, under a pa/ made between them at the time of marriage. The Blaster before whom the case was ar«ued ruled out the agreement. His comment, as a contribution to the llt•rature of feminism, is not without interest. The important sentences are these: "Whatever services the wife renders in her home for her husband cannot be her sole separate account. They are rendered in discharge of a duty that she owes him. Such claims as thi# are contrary to public policy. 3\hey would operate disastrously upon domestic life and would degrade the wife to the character of a menial servant."

A decision like this, which is absolutely in line with our legal as well as our economic traditions, puts the .Hrhole question of the relation of wife to husband in what most reasonable persons will feel to be the right light.

A wife may be given a definite allowance of money from motives of convenience, propriety and fairness, but the bond between her husband and Bei^elf jS more nearly In the nature Of an absolute partnership than any understanding that could subsist between employer and employe. Such rights as she has in her husband's property concern that property as a Whole and cannot be affected by the performance or nonperformance of definite economic tasks. A wife never can be the equivalent of a paid housekeeper. She is very much more. For Most women the surrender of personal liberty involved in marriage must bfe compensated a thousand times over by the new dignity of their position, exalted above the plane of wages and service.

THE MAKING OF WORDS.

When Judge Hughes the other day said lie stuod for undiluted Americanism" he probably did not mean to imply that President Wilson stands «^for anarchism, but so elusive are the Ip.real values of words that some cit- "?•, toons may retain that impression of his speech. "Undiluted Americanism" is all right. The term will probably have a fitful term of popularity and then disappear.

Our language is always in a state of i fluctuation or change, so that the meanings of words alter, one hardly knows when or how. Take the word criticism for instance. Criticism is another instance of perversion. Standing for the power of nice discrimination originally, it Is now a synonym for fault-finding. A year or so ago, when a certain prominent New York clergyman was sued for breach of promise society instantly scented a scandal and was disappointed that the breach was

merely a failure to pay certin moneys as promised. By common usage the phrase has come to mean a failure to fulfill a contract of marriage. Thus, through the simple process of common use in a certain way, words are made- to mean things other than their root meanings would signify.

Another amusing thing in regard to words is the way in which they come into prominence and have what* in salesmanship would be termed "a run." For a time they are on all lips then apparently the public's fancy changes, and another attaches the spotlight. Efficiency played up large something over a year ago. Reform was sadly overworked for a season community had ife innings, and then everybody was approached with a proposition. We can also remember when the adjective big was a favorite prefix. Preparedness and Americanism are the catch words of the present, but even the pure-bred Yankee could not guess what will replace them. StJme. unusual word gets into print Its novelty attracts It is appropriated, but finally dies 'a natural death and a new one "catches on."

We have, all of us, smiled oVer the enthusiastic schoolgirl to whom a cake, a sunset, a new dress and a picnic are alike "perfectly elegant." Her vocabulary has its limitations she has fallen into the habit of using a certain word without much regard for its apposltness. Really we should not smile at Judge Hughes we all do it.

DOG DAYS.

The recent hot wave has developed a lot of sympathetic interests from the giving of outings and picnics to the most unusual manifestation of hot weather consideration which occurred in St. Louis where they put electric fans In the cages of the lions at the zoo.

Much sympathy has gone out to the suffering beasts and various suggestions for their relief have been offered to the zoo officials. It is quite possible that in their absorption in the sufferings of the lions many St. Louisans have forgotten their own discomforts. A fretful and perspiring lion with prickly heat Is quite enough to arouse ,the sympathy and prompt the first aid instinct of even the most calloused.

The commissioners, we are told, were so strongly influenced by this hot wave of popular interest that they equipped the lions' cagAs with electric fans and sprayed Ice water across the floors.

It was natural that the leading American authority on animals' In captivity should be appealed to In this crisis. The leading authority is Dr. W. T. Hornaday of the New York *oologlcal- garden. He is reported to have said when told of the lions' pitiful plight—we quote this from the St. Louis Republic: "Wire those folks in St. Louis to give their lions pitchers of ice cold lemonade and straws. That is Just about as- sensible as giving them electric fans and ice water. Lions come from such cold climates, you know."

No doubt the calloused comment of the eminent naturalist will raise the temperature of our sister city, If that be possible. The St. Louisans may get so hot over it that they will fall to catch the moral of the satire. Even in the dog days well meaning people shouldn't let their Impulses run away from their discretion.

EMPTY SOUNDS

It can safely be said for Judge Hughes that no candidate ever opened his campaign with the press of the country so fairly disposed towards him. The press of the country absorbed in some degree the interest of the general public, Mr. Hughes was esteemed and respected for his past achievements and for what was considered his general high citizenship and competency. The press now finds itself just as reluctant to prejudge him and to relinquish the high ideals it held of the candidate.

The low plane, however, on which he has pitched his candidacy, the picayune Issues he has sought to raise against President Wilson, has under-

mined Mr. Hughes with many people. Not that Mr. Wilson is invulnerable. There are several issues on which Mr. Hughes might have logically attacked President Wilson from the viewpoint of his party, but the judge's vision did not reach as high as these.

Telling the voters of Oregon of "his plans" for the United States after the war Judge Hughes said: "We propose to institute a conception of real government. We want to be well prepared, well organized, commercially and industrially. We have got to match ^organization with organization, preparedness abroad with preparedness at home."

In this, as on every other subject he has touched with the conspicuous exception of woman suffrage, Judge Hughes leaves the country groping in the dark. While talking about preparedness Judge Hughes remains as dumb as an oyster as to his own attitude. What does he mean by preparedness? How big an army does Judge Hughes propose? How big a navy? Is the increase in the army as provided in the new army bill too large or too small or does it represent the Hughes view as to the proper sort of land military preparation? How about the national guard? How about the provision of the current army bill providing for using the national guard, recruited to a total of around 460,000, as a second line of defense?

These questions have been asked until they are rising in volume throughout the entire country. Yet Judge Hughes remains silent while continuing the delivery of platitudes and generalities. All that can be fairly obtained from Judge Hughes' statement of "his plans" as outlined to his western audiences is that he is determined as a candidate to av&ld a discussion of anything really controversial in Its nature, anything calculated to claah with the opinions of any considerable group or groups of voters. "We propose to Institute a conception of real government," says Judge Hughes. How studiously vague. What does It meaif No one knows for Judge Hughes does not elucidate. He omits to tell, in understandable terms, his own "conception of real government." The country would like to know somewhat in detail of the Hughes "conception of real government"

The hollowness of the judge's speeches has

chilled the interest of

many who were genuinely Interested in his success and who had intended to exert themselves in his behalf.

One of the incontestlble evidences of the "temporary" character of the prosperity against which Candidate Hughes so eloquently warns the country is furnished by the preparations of the United States Steel corporation to spend the niggardly sum of forty-five millions of dollars for additions to its plants at Qary. But then the steel trust, when it comes to throwing away money always was foolish—likea miser.

•Robert Bacon, repnbllcan candidate for the nomination for United States senator in New York, has peremptorily and flatly and altogether without explanation or apology repudiated Candidate Hughes' Inserted plank on woman suffrage by federal amendment.

It appears there is a great scarcity in this country of monkeys for experimental purposes. Perhaps a few calls for volunteers posted here and there in the Jungle would reduce the shortage.

We may have to wear wooden shoes this winter, on account of the high price of leather. But on account of the low price of automobiles we probably shan't mind It much.

Greece might as well beat Its swords Into typewriters. It's in the market for the latter.

OPPORTRJMNR AND MOSEY.

I've seen the time I could have made myself immensely rich, I've had a dozen chances, but I've never had one which I could get a strangle hold on so they had .to pass unheeded, For I never had the money that the glowing prospect needed.

You may talk of opportunity and tell a man to grab It Because to visit orily once is noted as ita habit. But don't berate the chap who lets his chances slip away, He may not have the thousand to invest that golden day.

The reason why the rich get rich and poor continue poor Depends upon a bank account and not on judgment sure The poor man sees the fortune, too, and i knows that he could make it, But lets the chance go by because he lacks the coin to take It. It's money that is needed if it's money you are seeking. It's money you must talk with when it's money that is speaking So save your silver dollars, take this little tip from me, And be -ready for your summons from old Opportunity.

Brazil Man Gets Results Through Chiropractic

To Whom It May Concern: I wish to say that for over a year I have been a sufferer from chronic stomach trouble, I would have severe pains and also gas in my stomach and could not sleep at nights and would have night sweats after which I would be very weak. I was constantly taking laxatives for my bowels and would have a severe hurting in the small of my back. I doctored with the best of physicians without any apparent results, the medicine I would take would probably relieve me temporarily, but after it wore off I would feel worse than before I took It. I had to give up my work as a salesman on account of my health. I had some relatives who had taken chiropractic adjustments of Dr. R. M. Thomas, Chiropractor, and had got splendid results, and they advised me to call on him and see what he could do for me. I started taking adjustments and in a few days began to notice an improvement. My stomach got so I could eat whatever I wanted to without any ill effects, my bowels began to move more regular and I did not have any more night sweats, and I can say I am now entirely well and am working every day and owe my good health to Dr. Thomas and his adjustments, and recommend, him as being honest and reliable.

HOROSCOPE.

"The Stars Incline, But Do ot Compel/' Copyright. 1916. by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Thursday, August 31, 1916.

This should be a fairly fortunate day, for Neptune and the sun are in strongly beneflc aspects. In the evening Mars is adverse.

There is a lucky sign for whatever has to do with shipping. Cargoes of foodstuffs come under an especially favorable direction, it is said, when Neptune is posited as it is today.

This should be a lucky rule under which to seek employment or promotion. The sun Is held to make persons in authority kindly and helpful.

The evening is not a favorable time for any important decision or action. The sway presages danger, also, for those who travel in automobiles or trains.

Surgeons and physicians have an unlucky direction through the later hours today. The influences are believed to tend toward delays, accidents and thwarted plans.

Again excitement concerning army affairs is prognosticated. An officer of high rank may be severely criticised.

Owing to a peculiar placing of the stars the seers predict unhappy experiences for persons of sensitive nature. Jealousy will be more common than ever before, it is prophesied.

A European astrologer foretells the increase of knowledge concerning telepathy to such an extent that it will be used successfully in everyday affairs.

Gossip is likely to be prevalent during the autumn when rumors of every sort will be credited by a too easily Influenced public mind. Libel suits may be numerous.

Persons whose blrthdate it is have the forecast of a quiet and fairly pros-perous-year.

Children born on this day probably will be very lucky all through life. These subjects of Virgo succeed best when employed as they usually have the artistic, dreamy nature.

Y. M. I NOTES.

At the -regular session of Good Will Council No. 277, Young Men's Institute, Tuesday night, reports of the members who are ill were heard and those present requested to call upon them.

Brother Vincent Wernz becomes a btnedict Thursday at Shelburn. Saturday he will be host for a big party to which all council members have been invited.

The members of the council will receive quartely communion Sunday, Sept. 10, at the St. Joseph's church.

INDIANA NEWS BRIEFS.

ANDERSON—On Thursday, August 81, members of the Hoosler-Dixle Highway association Will motor to Anderson to attend the Madison county free fair. A meeting of the highway men w«U be held Friday, at which time the progress made on the HooslerDlxie highway will be discussed.

ANDERSON—According to Frank DeHority, recorder of Madison county, there were mOre deeds filed in this county during the first half of the present month than during the same month of any previous year. The first fifteen days of August this year there were seventy-nine more deeds recorded than during the same period in 1915.

ANDERSON—Madison county promises to witness many pitched tattles in the politiqal arena this fall. Albert H. Vestal, republican nominee for United States representative, has already opened his campaign and will soon be followed by Judge J. F. Denny, of Portland, democratic candidate for the same office.

PETERSBURG—A large sunflower stock, now with a bud and about ready to bloom, has grown from a limb of a dead poplar tress on property owned by J. W. Wilson, a lawyer. How the plant gets moisture is a myytery. The limb on which it has grown is less than two Inches in diameter.

URIC ACID POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the Joints, muscles or nerves. By experimenting and analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called "Anurlc"—which drives out the uric acid from the system and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain "Anurlc" at any drug store and getrrelief from the pains and Ills brought about by uric acid or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package "Anurlc"—many times more potent than lithla and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar, A short trial will convince you.
