The cause of Rheumatism and kin?
dred diseasee la an excess of uric acid
In the blood. To cure this terrible dis?
ease this acid must be expelled and
the systsm so regulated that no more
acid will be formed In excessive quan?
tities. Rheumatism Is an Internal
dtsesse and requires an Internal rem?
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Unl
mentH will not cure, afforda only tem
Jorary relief at best, causes you to
slay ths proper treatment, and al?
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may case the pain,
but they will no mors cure Rheuma?
tism than paint will change the fibre
of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which Is
called "Rheumaclde." Tested In hun?
dreds of cases, it has effected the
most marvelous cures; we believe It
will cure you. Rheumaclde "gets at
ths Joints from the Inside." sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones
up the stomach regulates the liver
and kidneys and makes you well all
over. Rheumaclde "strikes the roots
of the disease and removes Its cause."

Because of the contribution which
The Delineator Mothers' Conference
in New York City has made toward
organized work for the prevention of
Infant mortality, I should like to sum
up what, in my estimation, has made
these conferences well attended and
of value:
1. Because they were held In th
school buildings, which have an au?
thority and appeal. Because every
agency in the district was asked to
help in the work.
2. Because the districts were
limited so that the mothers could
easily walk to the school.
3. Because the nurse visited the
mothers constantly. When a mother
was missing from a class the nurse
Immediately called to find out the
cause.
4. Because of the Interest time
and sympathy given by the doctors.
5. Because the nurse was at the
school every day at the sams hour to
receive visits. Because the same nurse
was kept In the same district so that
ehe was known by every one in the
district.
6. Because the nurse made her
visits to the home long enough to
give valuable Instruction and to ex?
plain the object and gain to the
mothers in coming to the conferences.
7. Because the nurses themselves
went to charitable and fresh-air dis?
pensaries and hospitals with the
mothers when necessary.
8. Because the nurse aroused a
feeling of Interest and /curiosity
among the mothers to hear what the
doctor would talk about at the next
meeting, and to know how much the
baby had gained.
9. Because the nurses worked for
results rather than for numbers.
10. Because the doctor gave prac?

There Is a growing feeling In this
country that sixteen years Is too long
a period to expend on purely general
education and that the results obtain?
ed do not warrant the expenditure of
so great amount of time and money.
It has been shown beyond question
that large numbers of children are
leaving the schools at an early age
with an utterly Inadequate prepara?
tion for life, thus Increasing an?
nually the number, not merely of the
unemployed, but of the unemploy?
able.
In the public schools of this coun?
try nearly every other essential point
has been touched upon?health, san?
itation and recreation have all had
their share of attention?but in the
matter of actual training for the real
work In life the pupils go out Into the
world after sixteen years' tuition al?
most as unequipped to make a live?
lihood (save In one or two already
overcrowded professions) as when
he or she entered the first grade,
It Is suggested that there should be
three lines of education open to the
pupil aftsr the sixth or the seventh
grade; (1) the present high school;
(2) business or commercial school;
(3) factory and tiade schools. The
rural sections of the country, as
well as cities and industrial centers,
need such schools. Instead of edu?
cation's dissevering country children
from rural life and farm work, it
should rather fit them to appreciate
it, teach them that they can bring aa
much science and metallty to the
cultivation of land and the manage?
ment of the farm as to any other
profession.?Editorial in The Delin?

A GREAT ESTABLISHMENT.
An Appreciation of Hart, Schaffner
& Marx.
From the New York Daily Trade
Record, Dec. 20.
In every field of human endeavor
there are namos that stand out above
all others. Whenever a particular
industry or art is mentioned, certain
names at once come to mind as the
essence of that especial branch of
human effort.
We inevitably associate Stephenson
with the locomotive; Fulton with the
steamboat; Morse with the tele?
graph; Bell with the telephone; Edi?
son with electricity; W'rlght with fly?
ing machines; Carnegie with steel;
Tiffany with jewelry; Marshall Field
and John WTannamaker with dry
goods. These great names are for?
ever linked with the trade or indus?
try in which their preeminence made
them world-famous.
Now, if one in the clothing indus?
try were asked to name a manufac?
turing firm that is thus most inti?
mately associated in people's minds
with the rise and fame of that great
American Industry, would he not in
all fairness naturally name Hart,
Schaffner & Marx?
Lofty ideals, keen foresight, won?
derfully perfect organization, cour?
age and the power of matchless pub*
Ucity have made their name and
clothing almost synonomous to the
trade, and nearly so to the consum?
ing public. The name and repute of
this great Chicago house is indelibly
emblazoned in the history of the
clothing Industry.
Why does the name of Hart.
Schaffner & Marx occupy so promi?
nent a place In the Hall of Fame of
the clothing trade?
The answer is simple. They have
earned It. There is no other way
through which this honor may be
gained.
You will find prominent in the rec?
ords of all those who have attained
supremacy in any chosen field these
two essential qualities?brains to
conceive and the courage to execute.
Some 15 years ago Hart, Schaffner
St Marx saw both the weakenesses
and the possibilities of the clothing
industry.
They saw a trade disorganized;
ideals not very high; crude methods
of nuWioltv ?nd in nwnv directions
comparatively crude, methods of
manufacture and ot "tecutvc ?rgan
I Igatlori and dlstj itlonj
! or-> of t* popular mtodes of pub?
licity amonf plothleri l?L {ho?v days
wan to have a lads cornetii** seated
Oh a rude improvised platform a. ihn
; entrance to the *tore, playing
music in the effort to attract the
sersby.
Hart. Schaffner & Marx realized j
"that nobody will pay you any more
respect than you pay yourself;" that
if the ready-for-service clothing in?
dustry was to become dignified and
men of means and refinement were
to be numbered among its customers
such methods must be abando- d as
quickly as possible.
The Chicago house from the first
took the position that "there is no
reason why the clothing business
shouldn't bo done with as much dig?
nity as the baking business," and to?
day it is so done by hundreds of rep?
resentative wholesale and retail
houses In the trade. As the firm said
in one of its recent advertising book?
lets to the retail trade: "The cloth?
ing business in general has become,
In these days, a high-toned business,
due to steady Improvement of the
quality of the goods, and a growing
appreciation of the value of liberal
methods of doing business."
Hart, Schaffner & Marx were
among the first?if not the first?to
have a regular advertising man. And
what a step in advance he was. Unit?
ing the culture of the university man
with the practical knowledge and
touch of the man of the world, his
methods plpetritleU the trade. Here
I was an ad-man, writing about colth
ing with all the charm and culture
and truth of an Addison discussing
the most elegant subjects of human
life. Here were Illustrations made
by artists of international reputation.
This combination of the literary with
the artistic and the sincere started a
new epoch In the clothing industry,
whose Influence has undoubtedly had
very much to do with placing it on
the high plane It now occupies.
The booklets issued by Hart.
Schaffner & Marx have been prized
as much for their literary and artis?
tic charm as for their trade news,
and the broad views therein express?
ed, which have done so much to up?
lift the industry.
And so through the appeal of the
work of this big clothing house, and
of the others which have from time
to tlmo made the same high effort,
ready-to-wear clothing has become
as much an attraction to \hc man of
culture and means as to the mechan?
ic and the clerk. The clothing In?
dustry has entered into a wider,
higher field, and today no man is too
rich, no gentleman too refined, that
he may not fitly apparel himself with
product.
j T? Is li rd ti overestimate the In
I fluenc? to rard 'Iiis splendid develop*
ment In the industry of the many
generous advertisements which Hart.
Schaffner & Marx, the pioneers, and
other leading clothing manufactur?
ers have from time to time publish?
ed in the leading magazines and pa?
pers of the country.
The great value of this work to the
trade can only be compared with
that which the firm has done through
its frequent and conspicuous state?
ments direct to the trade of its wise,
courageous and inspiring attitude on
such vital questions as "all wool",
mercerized, etc., etc.
It is, indeed, not too much to say
that the advertising of Hart, Schaff?
ner & Marx has had a refining and
uplifting influence on advertising
methods throughout the country.
Not alone in the clothing trade, but
in every trade, has their influence
been felt.
They were the first firm in the
country to associate art with com?
merce. Renowned artists have done
some of their most unique and effec?
tive work for Hart, Schaffner &
Marx. They were first to get out of
the beaten track of advertising medi?
ocrity and to employ the finest art?
ists in the land to make their pub?
licity what they realized it ought to
be. They were the pioneers in mod?
ern advertising.
And yet the firm has been over
modest in its claim of fair credit for
the work done. Note the following
extract from their last booklet to the
retail trade; "No better indication of
the avoidance of clap-trap in the
clothing trade to-day can be found
than t. look through the newspapers
of the country and a study of the
clothing advertising of the present
day. You cannot fall to notice a gen
erally better tone in the advertising
in its appearance, its statements, its
general spirit.
"Some still prefer the circus-post?
er, blackedface capital letters: and
some still think that it's neccessary
to crowd a catalogue of the entire
stock Into one small advertisement;
but the tendency to sanity, and dig?
nity, and businesslike simplicity in
advertising is growing stronger. In
ths development of clothing adverti?
sing to a higher grade, we feel that
our work, especially that which we
send out to our customers to use, has
been a great influence for good."

Schaffner & Marx have helped others
