DUTCH MARRIAGE LAWS ARE UNJUST - Don't Put Mothers on Equality with Fathers Power of Ten Is Abused.

Chicago, March 10. A correspondent ot the Dally Newt, writing from The Sfague, lays: Recent discussions of the faulta of the marriage laws and the advocacy of a few noted atateamcn nd writera of free or common law tnariiage led the correspondent of the Dally Newa the other day to have a talk on the aubject with Miss K. C. Van Dorp, the first woman to take up the study of law In thla country, and to gain a considerable practice. "What la your opinion of the marriage law of Holland?" the correspon dent asked. "It Is very bad Indeed," she replied. "It la most unjust to women. 1'erhaps the most grievously unjust clause la that which gives the sole power over the children to the father. The mother has no legal right whatever with respect to her own children? The meanest advantage la often taken of thla by men who wish to be disagreeable to their wives: they wish to make them suffer through their children. A very common case, often brought to me by distracted mothers, la that their children have been tinten way from them and sent to boarding school or to aome family In another place, when she knows that this not for the god of tho children, but simply to annoy her. Cause of Wasted Lives. "Far worse are those cases where drunken or Immoral fathers drive their children to actions that imperil body and soul and which tho mothers re entirely powerless to prevent until a few yeara ago, when tho enactment of the child law made It possible for them to appeal to the district judge and board of child guardians. But a case must be very bad Indeed before such a step Is taken, und the evil example set by fathers is the cause of many a wasted life in Holland. "If we now turn to those clauses in the marriage law dealing with property we see another injuticee. If, as la usually the case here, husband and wife are wedded in 'community of property,' this means that tho husband lone can use the property, dispose of It, and even waste it without the wife being able legally to protest. On the other hand, she may not In any way touch It. . Her signature alone to a receipt, a bill, or a deed Is not valid and she has nothing whatever to say even about the money she herself earns. Her husband may take It from her and spend it as ho likes. This Is the cause of endless misery, especially among the laboring people. "lint did not the government laws on labor contracts and the government postal hank In great measure obviate thla abuse?" "It is true that according to that law the woman worker has the right to placo her earnings in the postal savings bank and that her husband can not touch the money as long as It la there, but neither can she make use of it to buy necessaries for the the household. Note this carefully, that by the law a married woman may only dispose of her money in and for the household, while a man has free disposal of his money. If the busband demands the money she has drawn from the bank she has no legal right to refuso it, and he can take it to the nearest dramshop to squander It. The savings of the wife may also be seized for the husband's debts. Marriage Contracts. "Now you will say it Isn't necessary to marry In community of property nd that contracts and settlements can be made. So they can be, but even the most careful way of tying up property for the use of the woman only cannot annul the law, which says that the man Is the bead of the houseFacts About Motherhood The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Xot .one woman in a nun. ldred Is prepared or , understands now 10 jproperlycare forheri self. Of course nearly every w oman nowadays has medical treatment at the 'time of child-birth, )but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and wheu the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is bard to recover. Follow, ingr right upon this conies the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and Indeed child-birth under ripht conditions need be no hazard to health or beautr. The unexnlainable thin? Is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women Will persist in going blindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chauce and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there Bre now children because of the fact that Lydla K. llnkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong. Any woman trlio would like necial advice in regard to this matter la cordially- invited to write to Mr Pink ham at Ivnn. Man. Her letter will be held in atrtct confidence.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE Richmond People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease. The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy f pel Is may occur and the victim Is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there la danger of dropsy, Rrlght's disease, or diabetes. Any one ot these symptoms la warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. , You can use no better remedy than Doan'a Kidney Pills. Here's Richmond proof: Mrs. Fred Heater. 607 N. Thirteenth St.. Richmond, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills were uncd in my family

several years ago with the best of results in a case of backache. This remedy was procured at A. (J. I.uken & Co'a Drug Store and it effected a complete cure. I publicly recommended Iloan'a Kidney Pills In 1906 and at thla time I have no hesitation In verifying that statement." For wale by all dealer. Price 10 certs. Fofiter-Milbiirn Cc. Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. hold and that his signature is required for every business transaction of his wife. She can not buy or sell her own property without his signature to the deed. Trw. she gets her income, but this must all be spent in or for the good of their common household. "However, it is but a comparltively small percentage of couples that have such contracts made out. By far the larger number marry In community of property simply because they rush into matrimony without giving the matter sufficient thought. For this reason a marriage law ought to be enacted which makes the separation or individual holding of property the normal and usual state of things unless the contrary be expressly stipulated. Very few girls know anything at all about the laws of the land, and for the matter of that, most men and women never Inquire by what laws they are bound until difficulties arise. "Then there are eases where the girl's parents are willing to make provision for her future by tying up her money closely, and the girl in her perfect faith and trust in her future husband resent 8 such precautions in casting a slur on his character, or he him self reproaches her for her lack of trust In him. Now, faith and trust are beautiful things, but they are out of place In a contaract. What business man would go into partnership with another without having a most carefully drawn contract made? If this is not resented in a business partnership, w hy should such precautions be resented in a partnership that bind the parties for life?" Divorces in Holland. "What about divorces in Holland?" "Well, we have divorces all right, although they are by no means as generally resorted to as in America. There is a certain stigma attached to the divorced man or woman especially the woman in Dutch society. Still, divorce is becoming gradually more common, and the laws regulating it are more equitable than, for instance, the Eenglish divorce .law, because both man and woman Wan obtain divorce on the same grounds. There is only one clause that is more favorable to the man than to the woman, and that Is that proceeding can only be instituted from the place of residence of the husband. Now, if a man wishes to put difficulties in his wife's way, he simply leaves the country, goes traveling or continually changes his place of abode." "What about free marriages?" "Oh. that is far too risky a thing, and I do not believe many couples will try it. The only hope there is for a more just law being enacted is in the woman's suffrage movement. When once women have a share in managing the affairs the laws will cease to protect the strong against the weak." A t Local Theaters Sterling Stock Company. The Sterling Stock company will play their feature play at the Gennett theater this evoning. "The Sweetest Girl In France" being an exceptional piece in more ways than one. The costumes and scenery are all made especially for It and the play is so well constructed that it is altogether far and above anything ever seen at popplar prices. The royalty is so large that it has been found necessary to raise the prices to fifteen, twentyfive and thirty-five. The matinee tomorrow will be the laughing farce "She Couldn't Marry,, Three." Play Repertoire. Some repertoire companies carry eight people and do a poor business, some carry twelve people and do a fair business, some even carry fourmen and the manager, but the LaMarr Holland Superior Stock Company, which comes to the Gennett theater for three nights commencing Monday, March 13, carries eighteen people, ex clusive of the working staff. The com pany Is headed by Roy LaMarr and Gertrude Holland, who need no introduction to those who follow the trend of theatrical events in the cities, the supporting company Is composed of some of the best known players before the public, and the vaudeville features are of the highest order and are all really feature acts, being engaged especially to Introduce specialties between the acts. The company will present "Paying the Price" as an opening production, this successful dramatic novelty being from the pen of Mr. LaMarr. a young author-actor who has many dramatic successes to his credit Ladies will be admitted free on

the opening night under the usual conditions.

Mme. Dimitrieff Mme. Dimitrieff, the distinguished Russian soprano who is to be one of the soloists at the approaching con cert of the Russian Symphony Orches tra, of New York, at the Gennett on Friday, March 17, is a woman of rare presence of mind as well as a singer of internationational reputation. Mme. Dimitrieff once quelled an angry mob that had assembled In an Italian opera house to wreck the performance. In that country, it appears, the rivalry of the opera managers frequently results in one hiring an unruly mob to pack the gallary of his adversary's undertaking to interfere with its progress in hopes of causing an enterprise to be permanently abandoned. On one occasion Mme. Dimitrieff was to sing the leading soprano role in a great opera, but before the time came for her to appear for the first time on the stage the house was in an uproar. The rough element in the top balconies had first hissed the tenor then shrieked at him and the stunned man had retreated to the wings for refuge. Her mind acting like a flash Mme. Dimitrieff dispatched a messenger to her hotel across the street for a Russian and an Italian flag, and, with these in her possession, prepared for a bold move. In the face of the pendemonium the brave soprano advanced before the footlights. Seeing her, the crowd in its fury, seemed only to increase its bowling. But the prima donna went calmly on with her aria though the leader of the orchestra looked at her appealingly several times, to stop. Finally, with the climax of her number reached, Mme. Dimitrieff advanced to the front of the stage and waving the Russian flag quickly produced and whirled that of Italy. In an instant the hooting was changed to cheering and the opera proceeded to success, with Mme. Dimitrieff the heroine of the night. Mile De Swirsky. "Tancgra," presented by Mile, de Swirsky at the beautiful Murray theater March 17, is a symbol, and not. so difficult to understand. There is nothing enigmatic about it. It is the creation of an artist, who can combine the graceful movements of tho body to the Interpretations of the molodies of the great masters of music. From the serene classic pose of the statuettes, to the Bacchanal dance of Glazounoff; from the simple melodious notes of Gluck's "Orfee" to Rachmaninoff Prelude their is a world and a civilization apart. This fortunate artist brings them together, makes us live with the past, appreciate more the present and finishes by pointing out to us the artistic glories of both. The symbol is clear and simple. Much has been said and more will be said about Thamera de Swirsky, but all most agree that both her interpretive dances and her interpretations at the piano of the great composers of her race, is original and new. She feels the purity of the Greeks, posses the fire of the Slav, and at times the life of the Oriental as in the "Peer Gynt Suite." At the Murray. Not satisfied with jumping upon candle sticks, the Deonzo brothers at the Murray theater do one feat that makes the audience breathless by its daring. Having lighted a series of candles the jump from lighted candle to lighted candle where a slip would mean broken limbs or worse. The danger is even greater than is supposed by those who see the act. Should the melted wax stick to the jumping shoes shoes it would be almost impossible to make the final leap in safety. Indeed at one time during the first performance in the evening, the employes of the stage who were watching the daring men, sprang out to catch the jumper whom they feared to see dash ed to the floor at their feet. With surprising agility he caught his balance and ended the feat gracefully. Countess de Swirsky. "When Countess de Swirsky completed the Russian dance, women stood up and applauded and others threw their bouquets at her. At the close of each number on Friday night the Countess was given an ovation by persons including John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Mrs. Penes Brugiere, Prince Miza Riza Khan of Persia, Prince Troubetskoy and many others." New York American. There are over forty .thousand foreigners in Portugal, including some two thousand Knglish people.

Rheumatism If It Don't You Can Get Your Money Back, Says Leo H. Fine. Now when Leo H. Fihe, the well known druggist, makes such an offer aa that, where. Oh. where is the man or woman full of Uric Acid poison, which is tne same as Rheumatism, who is going to turn it down? Leo H. Fihe has sold a whole lot of Rheuma these last few months, and if it didn't do as advertised he could cot afford to make the offer. Here is more proof: Porter Smith, Dobbin, W. Va., writes: "I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism for about 26 years, and the disease had become chronic. I had began taking Rheuma with little faith in its virtues, but was better from the first day I began its use. and at this time have no more pains." Feb. 20, 1910. Rheuma never shirks its duty. It begins with the first dose to act on the kidneys, liver, stomach and blood, and to eliminate Rheumatic poison from the whole system. 50 cts at Leo H. Flhe's, or mailed by Rheuma Co., Buffalo, N.

INSURANCE SAFETY Value of Fraternalists' Certificates Required.

(American News Service) Chicago, March 10. The valuation of the certificates of fraternal insurance societies as a safeguard for the members and protection against insolvent societies continuing to do business, valuation being the method provided in the uniform bill for the regulation of fraternal societies that has been passed in Oregon and which is pending in other state legislatures now in session, is a subject of a report by Abb Landis, actuary for the national fraternal congress. This report was made public by the joint legislative committee of the national fraternal congress and associated fraternities of America. '"The insurance commissioners are familiar with the valuation methods required of life companies," the Laudis report declared, "and they will apply these to fraternal beneficiary socieies if left to their discretion. The educational effect of valuation is a public necessity and whether or not it can be obtained otherwise than through compulsory legislation is a debatable question. My experience that voluntary valuation follows the adoption of level rates of contribution computed with a view of adequacy and permanency. "Without a valuation balance sheet the general public can be misled concerning the financial position of an insurance organization by the presentation of a showing of accumulation over and above current needs for expenses and claims. From a study of the history of life companies in the United States and the effect of the net valuation laws, I am constrained to believe that fraternal societies, if valuation by a standard table were made a test of solvency, ultimately would At Fountains & Elsewhere Ask for lf.UHMU.1 Tht Original end Gtnulno MALTED MILK The Fsod-drlnk ftr AH Agts.

might be designated as a standard for valuation of their certificates. Many of our fraternal beneSciary orders are now regularly having valuations made and a number of them test by actual facts the mortality and Interest assumption." A SHORTAGE FOUND IN THE DOG CROP The dog crop in Wayne township is falling off and very noticeably so. according to the deputy assessors serving under township assessor Charles Potter. In 1910 the dog license fees in the township amounted to 11.675, but this year it will run less than $1,200, according to the outlook. The reason is that dog owners or those harboring canines, preferring not to pay tax cn the most loyal friend of man. have had the animals killed. Assessors covering West Richmond and Riverdale report that the number of dogs in these two districts has diminished more than in any other part of the city. . .. . ....... , . , . it. ift .t i ii ttVttTtttTtTtTttTTttttttTx . t Have You a Rheumatic 2 t Friend? t If th reartpr of this hns a friend or relative suffering from rheumatism it would he well to clip this prescription and present it.
