A working plan having ea its ultimate purpose the building of a perfect race of mortals is to be formulated at the National Confer- ence on Race Betterment to be held in Batitle Creek, Michigan, on Jan- uary 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, 1914. Intermediately the plan contem- plates gradual betterment ol: living conditions, the achievement of in- creased human efficiency; and high- er standards of physical and men- tal development. For several years increasing in- terest has been centred. upon the problems which the Conference has elect?d to consider. The much-dis- cussed eugenics movement is one of the channels in which this interest has been manifested. . The well: - defined femininist movement is an- other out -cropping of the general groping for ne'w race ideals. These and correlated topics will be con- sidered at the coming Conference. The organization of a national body to continue the work inaugur- ated by the Conference itself, will be affected. This national body, it is anticipated, will arrange for an- nual meetings and in a very short time will lay the . foundation for a world movement for an improved race. The list of those who will take part in the Conferenee includes many men and women of national promin"ce. During the progress of the Con- ference there will be a comprehen- sive mental and physical classifica- tion of several hundred school chil- dren, which will take into consider- ation the effect of heredity and en- vironment upon the offspring. Sta^dards of mental and physical xrfeet?on will be determined and a general campaign to secure the world-wide adoption of these stan- dards as a true test of mankind will be among the other topics to be considered by the Conference. When a Woman Suffers With Ehronic Backache There Is Trouble Ahead. Constantly on their feet, attending to the wants of a Iarge and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the 'stores, factories, and on a farm are weak -ailing women. dragged down with torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural but it's dangerous, because due, to diseased kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of Kidney complaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. . To give vitality 'and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons, probably there is no remedy so' suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills, For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of their mild, soothing, and healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills are safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages. 25 cents per box at all dealers.

THE WORLD'S 1300K LIST. Germany .Leads the World, With Rus- sia. Second. The Madrid Herald() prints some statistics of the number of books pubilshed in 1911, that throw an inter- esting light onthe literary and in- telle teal activity of various nations, and ;incidentally reveal some surpris- ing facts. The statistics have been gathered with great care by the dis- tinguished Spanish author, Eduardo Ravarro Salvador. According to the figures of Senor Salvador, Germany leads the world in the number of books published with 33,000. 'Of course that is the nuniiier of litefary works published, not the total number of books printed. Strangely enough, Russia is second with 29,000. Twenty-four thousand works were published in Japan—more than double the number, 11,123, that the United States produced. Great Britain, Italy, France and Switzerland follow- close on the United States; these countries published respectively, 11,000, 10,929, 10,400 end 10,000 works. Austria, -Hungary published 7,000 books; the Scandinavian countries— Denmark, Sweden and Norway, -6,475; the Balkan states, 4,000; Holland, 3,- 700, Spain and. Portugal •set the low water ;mark of literary achievement; only 2,05 works were'.. published in these 'teT tountrres, That Russia and Japan should each produce 'more than twice as many literary works as the United States is not more surprising than that the United States and Switzerland should publish virtually the same number. The low mark of Spain and Portugal, countries in which culture has existed for so many centuries, and reached so high a standard, is als t worthy of comment. ' Considered in eonnectior. with the population of the countries, these statistics are still more • startling. Switzerland, for instance, published four times as many works per capita as its nearest rival. It leads the world with 2,702 for each million inhabitants. The other countries follow in this order: Holland, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, England, Russia the Balkan states, Austria-Hungary, Spain and Portugal; and last of all,—with only 122 booke published f^r every million inhabitants,—the United States.

Move the Privilege of Yiarrylhitg Whom They Please. .Although woman in Africa is re- garded as property she has certain rights which are seldom infringed upon, and of these the most lin- portant is her right to marry whom she ,pleases, or rather to refuse to marry one who does not please her, says the Southern Workman. There are two reasons for this. First, women married against their wills have been known to commit suicide. Second, women married against their wills have murdered their unloved husbands, usually strangling them when asleep. So, in forcing one's self upon one of these women there is liability to a great loss—the loss of valuable pro- perty or of no less highly prized life. The young girls are well cared for, partly that they may be come- ly and draw many suitors.. Every girl will tell you frankly that she wishes to marry and have a good husband and children. Every fa- ther is anxious to have his daugh- ters marry well. To obtain a wife one must pay a dowry in cattle to the father, or, should the father be dead, to the nearest male relative. If a girl is much sought after, her father naturally asks a larger dow rt.. When the man has paid part of the dowry the father may give consent to a provisional marriage and permit the couple to live to- gether. ogether. Should the husband be too slow in paying the remainder of the dowry his wife is taken from him. Trial marriages are common and can be set aside by either party. Their principal objects in marriage are mutual helpfulness and the perpetuation of the race. Very Sick ----No 'Doctor now Aid Wias Secured The Experience Not Uncommon. The person who suffers from a stomach ailment, if far from a doctor or drug store, is bound to be extreme- ly miserable. Such was the case with Mr. Johnson E. Evans, a well known Farmer living near Edmonton, who writes: "My stomach got upset I think owing to bad water. I found great lain after eating. There was swelling and much gas in my stomach and no nerson could have been more miser- able. Away out in the country it is not easy to get medical attention ex- cept at great cost, aid I had ,to do without. A. neighbor who heard of my;condition sent, me e. partly Ailed bottle of `Nerviline,' Tlie . first dos eased the pain in my stomach. How good that relief was I will never be able to tell.
