PAGE FOUR GIRL OF 18 TAKES FOURTH HUBBY SAYS SHE WILL BREAK DE WOLF HOPPER’S RECORD: I Present Mrs. Page Takes Hus bands Faster Than Hopper Took Wives EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 6.—She’sj only 18 years old—she has been mar-1 ried four times and divorced three i times— She's now starting in on her I fourth husband, and she vows that' before they lay her among the daisies > she'll set a world’s record as a mat-1 rimonial quick-change artist. She started in life as Pauline Nix-1 cn, out in the great open space# of! Texas where men are plentiful as I well as chivalrous. Pauline hardly got a square deal I in life, at that. When she was 14 I she had gotten enough cards from I the bottom of the deck to make many an older person throw the whole hand into the discard and call for a new deal. To begin with, her father and mother were at odds. Each one wanted the sole custody of Pauline. Once the father kidnaped her and immured her in a convent for three years. Then, motoring in the desert, he ran afoul of bandits and was shot to death. This ended the family row, but not Pauline’s troubles. CRAVED PLEASURE The girl had grown up fast, amid such fast-moving home surroundings and at the age of 13 she became fill ed with a craving for life—life with its pleasures and gaieties that the older people seemed able to take, but that always were denied her. So she dropped out of high school abrutply and married a young man named Austin P. Carlton. This at Las Cruces, N. M., in June 1922. The marriage went on the rocks after nearly two years and Carlton' left her. She was granted a divorce. | The girl's acquaintances began to poke fun at her. "Married and divorced at 16— where’ll you end up?” they taunted her. And that gave her the idea. "1 boasted, in jest, that I’d break De Wolf Hopper's marriage record,” she says. "Then I got to thinking it over and decided I’d go ahead and do it.” A VERY CANNY LASS Now observe the canniness that tan descend upon a girl of 16. Twenty-four days after her first divorce she remarried, this time a Cisco druggist by name of Loiel B. Stagner. Under the law she should have waited a year after the divorce decree. She didn’t. Consequently, when she and Stagner tired of one another, four months later, she didn’t have to work hard for a di vorce. All she did was get an an nulment, on the ground that the marriage was illegal in the first place. A couple of weeks later the girl went to Las Cruces, N. M., with an other boy friend, one W. B. Winzin read to attend the wedding of a pair of mutual friends. The friends dar ed them to gee married too. Pauline not being the girl to be kidded in a that manner, they up and did it. Somehow, this marriage wasn’t any luckier than the othhr two. pin ally Pauline' drifted into court again. It was still less than a year after her first divorce, so another automatic annulment was in order. Again she was free. But not for long. Outside the courtroom she fell in with a bosom triend of the late lamented Winzin- ATE TOOFAST South Carolinian Took Black- Draught For Indigestion, and Says He Could Soon Eat Anything. Ballentine, S. C.—Mr. W. B. Bouknight, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Thedford’s Black-Draught, “Just after I married I had indi gestion. Working out, I got in the habit of eating fast, for which I soon paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me very uncomfortable. I would feel stupid and drowsy, didn’t feel like working. I was told it was indi gestion. Some one recommended Black-Draught and I took it after meals. I soon could eat anything any time. “I use it for colds and bilious ness and it will knock out a cold and carry away the bile better and quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found.” Eating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals A pinch of Black Draught, washed down with a swallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Bloat ed sensations, eructations, bad breath and other common symptoms of indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken fog several days. NC-IC4 !
