Adcle ri.lm lb.-r of IkTlin. BERLIN, Oct. 29. Adele Bchrel ber, the famous advocate of women's rights, has Just published an essay entitled "Woman at Her Best," which Is causing much discussion. J She says in part: "The time Is near when there will be no more 'old maids;' certainly none redlculed on account of their years. Even today women referred to as 'old maids' are not the scare crows pictured by writers as late as the last of tbe nineteenth century. Women are growing younger In ap pearance, In manner and ambition at least they impress one as younger than their birth certificates warrant. "As a rule, our women of 35 and 40 are younger looking, more elastic, fresher and more vivacious than men of the same age. There is an in creasing number of marriages be tween young men and women their seniors by five or even ten years." Dr. Schreiber quotes from a Swedish woman'a journal the result of a query sent to its readers: "What are woman's best years?" Thegreat majority of the answers fix woman's best years as between "5 and 45. One poetical writer states 111 j opinion as follows: "A woman's best years are the period when she Is still young enough to be attractive, yet old enough to appreciate true friendship. A very young person is seldom a true friend. She has not sense enough, and Is too eaten up with her own im portance to tolerate the shortcomings of others." Another writer says: "I prefer the woman of 40 or there abouts. the woman of experience, for experi ence alone makes a woman warm hearted, sympathetic and universally kind." A third opinion offered reads as follows: "That woman Is at her best who combines the Ught-beartedness of youth with an appreciation of life's responsibilities." DOES NOT REGRET CRIME.

The visit of the American sailors of the battleship fleet to the shores of Nippon has called forth from the Japanese va rious complimentary comments re garding their behavior. A Japanese dally today discusses gravely a new feature of Occidental life brought vividly before the observing Oriental eye under the caption, "Why we do not kiss." "Kissing as an expression of af fection has been hitherto unknown," says the writer, "possibly because it has never occurred to the Japanese, any more than the custom of rub bing noses as a manner of salutation has occurred to Americans. In the Japanese language there Is no verb 'to kiss,' and no word that signifies the action. After the advent of this 'kissing bug,' as It is called in the United States, we must borrow a Chi nese character In writing the word which conveys the meaning to touch the lips. Already our children are adopting certain customs of the visit ors to these shores, and we wonder greatly If they will allow themselves to be Inoculated with the 'kissing bug.'

Stanford Professor Startles a Wom an's Club. CHICAGO, Oct. 29. "Marriage Is the tu'eide of love," said Professor Edward D. Monroe, Ph. D., of Leland Stanford Junior university before the Woman's l iterary club of Woodlaw;, this city. "The Increasing number of di vorces each year In America seems to substantiate this conclusion," said the professor, further. A restrained murmur of amazement was heard among the several hundred clubwom en present. "In the first place, marriage Is en tered upon by thousands of foolish and frivolous girls and thoughtless young men, without the least con sideration of the question of mutual adaptability or of congeniality. Wed lock Is rushed Into, and a few months after the honeymoon the parties con cerned come back to their rational senses and realize that there are grave temperamental differences to reckon with. "Before long there appears on the horizon of love's young dream th dreaded 'affinity,' and most of yon realize what that Implies. It signifies that the bonds of matrimony will, ere long, be ruthlessly shattered and wind up In the divorce courts." Lame Back. ! This ailment Is usually caused by j rheumatism of the muscles of the .mall of the back, and Is quickly cured by applying Chamberlain's Liniment two or three times a day and massaging the parts at each ap plication.

Because you have contracted or dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment Imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and enronlc catarrh have their origin In a com mon cold. Consumption Is not cau sed by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and de velopment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It Is tbe same with all Infectious dis eases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely o be contracted when the child baa a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks In a cold than In any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation nave made it a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by Chas. Strang.
