Divorces Are Made Easy in Yucatan;
Love Gone—No Longer a
ErPaso, Texas, Oct. 28.—The
Yucatan system, easiest possible
divorce, complete socialism, is
spreading through Mexico, de
clares Louis Terregrosa, leader of
Yucatan’s progressive socialists,
making his first visit to America.
Easy.
Divorce is made easy in Yuca
tan U for the protection of the
women,” he explained.
.... It can be obtained simply in
Yucatan, in a quiet procedure, in
only a month. Scores of Ameri
cans are flocking into Yucatan, to
take advantage of this phase of
our laws.
The integrity of the parties
wishing a divorce is looked into,
said Terregrosa. u During the
month’s residence, the credentials
of the parties are looked up, and
care is taken to see that no in
jury will be done anyone. When
there are children, divorce is more
difficult; we take care to see that
the children are well protected.
Favor Women.
U Our divorce laws favor,
women,
Because we in Mexico believe that
in our country at least women
get the worst of it.
it Women in Mexico have not
yet attained a 50-50 standing with
men. No doubt it is because
Mexican men, traditionally the
conquerors, the ‘conquistadores,’
have kept women down, regarding
them as their prizes, their chat
tels, to a degree.
Elevate Them.
I We are trying to elevate the
women. Co-education was a hard
struggle, but we finally attained
it. We have three women in our
national congress and we are look
ing forward to equal representa
tion, of the sexes. 99
Marriage, according to Torre
grosa’s ethics, is no longer mar
riage when love has gone. Hence
easy divorce, which enables a man
and woman to maintain only al
liances of true love.

Pygmy Victim of Act
of Mistaken Kindnees
In 1904, after the St. Louis expo
one of the’ African pygmies
exhibited there was stranded In
New York on his way home. He
got a job In a Coney Island
restaurant, but soon lost It, and
near starvation when a person
In his plight asked Dr.
W. T. Homaday, curator of the
zoo, to give him work, says the Bos
ton Transcript. The pygmy was
set to work cleaning and tending
the monkey eage, and later was
promoted to the bear cage. He was
happy and cheerful, but so slqw
that It took half a aay to clean the
cage. It was not long before he
became an object of greater Inter
est than either the bears or mon
keys, and an ingenious person con
ceived the idea of placing a sign
on the front of the cage during the
hours he Spent there, announcing
that he wag a specimen of homo
sapiens.
The fellow was not left untrou
bled long, however, for the New
York Times learned of the practice
and started righteous agitation
against such indignity to a poor
pygmy—and thus to the human
race—and quickly interested the ne
gro welfare societies. At their pro
test he was discharged and, after
wandering southward from one ill
treatment to another, he committed
suicide.

Javanese Clever
The Javanese natives have a
great love for music. Some of their
musical instruments are very inge
nious in appearance and .pleasant
to listen to. One of them, which is
called a gamelan, is a sort of na
tive orchestra, composed chiefly of
gongs sounded in various cadences
so as to produce a very sweet mel
ody, with an accompaniment of
wind and string instruments. A
bamboo instrument called the nnk
lung is also very popular. This is
shaken by hand and gives forth a
sprightly rhythm of which the na
tives are very fond. The music-Is
played in the open air and is fre
quently the accompaniment to en
tertainments at which the age-old
stories of the island are told. The
Javanese also excel in work in cop
per and gold, although having none
of their own, they have to import
their raw materials.
Bees Work Selves to Death
Honeybees turn on the hent in
their apnrtment houses at 57 de
grees Fahrenheit, says the Journal
of Pharmacy. When it gets that
cold, they form a compact spheri
cal cluster.
Bees on the inside of the ball be
come- active and walk, wiggle and
heat their wings to generate heat.
The outer shell of the cluster is
made up of bees that ruddle close
and stay still. They furnish the
insulation which prevents the es
cape of heat so effectively that
there may be 75 degrees difference
between the inside and the outside,
only four and one-half inches
away.
Thousands of dollars are lost to
American beekeepers every year,
however, by bees working them
selves to death In keeping warm
tills way.
Chameleon Lakes”
It Is well known that the water
of many lakes exhibits characterls
tic colors. Lake Geneva, at the
western end of Switzerland, is blue,
while lake Constance, at the east
ern end of that country. Is green.
Blueness Implies purity, since the
natural color of water Is blue. A
green lake has its water slightly
clouded with Impurities.
It Ir said that green lakes some
times beeome absolutely colorless
for a time, and it nas been found
that this sudden change of hue is
due to the washing Into the lakes of
mud colored red by oxide of iron.
Red Is complementary to green, and
the result of the mixture is that the
green color of the water becomes
for the time hoing neutralized.

Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
By Drinking Quarts of
Good Water.
No man or woman can make a
mistake by flushing the kidneys
occasionally, gays a well known
authority. Too much rich food
creates^ acids which clog the kid
ney pores so that they sluggishly
filter or strain only part of the
waste and po. or.s irom the blood.
Then you get sick. Rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleep
lessness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull
ache in the kidneys or your back
hurts, or if the urine is cloudy,
offensive, full of sediment, irreg
ular of passage, or attended by a
sensation of scalding, begin to
drink soft water in quantities;
also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy
and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush clog
ged kidneys and stimulate them
to activity, also to help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no
longer cause irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts.....is inexpensive and
C!tn not W ure; makt8 a delightful
effervescent lithia water drink,
vhich everyone can take now and
then to help keep the kidneys
dean anj , the blood purej th(!reby

complications. By all means have
your physician examine your kid
