Whi n is « divorce not b divorce? is a conundrum t !i<- people of the United Stales nre beginning to risk themselves. The Supreme Court of the United States, in three recent decisions, holds that a child’s right to a name is at the mercy of State lines. New York, New Jersey and Penn sylvania decline to recognize divorce de crees in other States, where the de fendant is still a legal resident of the State and does not appear in court at the time the suit is heard. In other words, in the eyes of the law, the man or woman who leaves New York State, goes to Washington or Nevada, and becomes a resident for '.tO days, in order to obtain a divorce, has no legal right to remarry in New York, and in the event that the divorced party does marry again in another State in the Union the marriage will not be recognized. One of the decisions t-ustained shows to what an alarming condition the country is drifting because of a lack of a uniform divorce law. A woman in New York, prominent in social circles, became dissatisfied with her husband. Shu secured a divorce in Reno, Ncv. She returned to New York, and after a period of yenrs remarried. She was arrested on a charge of bigamy, and the charge was sustained by the .Supreme Court of tiie State. In ari ably written article in a recent monthly publication I!. Gerald Chapin, of the New York bar, gives facts which will convince the most doubtful. He proves from court records that have been sustained by the highest tribunal ill the country that a mail may have a divorced wife in one State and a legal wife in another, but that in the event he returns to the first State v.ife num ber one is Ins recognized wife, and wife number two is legally his mistress. The children of the first wife nre heirs- at-law, while children of the second wife, being illegitimate, are entitled to no share of the estate left in the event of the husband's death. Here are facts that cannot be denied. The record of over 20 years speaks for itself. Men and women who contemplate Reno, the city of broken hearts, as a fitting place to secure divorces had bet ter be careful of their future ventures in matrimony. They had better first become familiar with the marriage and divorce laws of the country. For instance, tlio wife of a Mr. Sc- mon of New York, whelm she married in 1885, after live years went to South Dakota and obtained a divorce on the gro nds of desertion. She returned to New York in 1891 and married a man of wealth named Kimball. It is not recorded that Semon entered any ob jection. In 1898 Kimball died, leaving no will. The rendition of the North Dakota decree marie her a divorced woman in that State, with the right to marry again.. In New York she was still the legal wife of Semon. Her relations with Kimball, in the eyes of the law, were adulterous. She had not a scintilla of claim on his great estate. The collateral relatives of iKimball alone could inherit. This decision was upheld bv the New York Court of Ap peals and a few years later by the United States Supreme Court. In other words, every State in the Union, with the exception of South t’arolina, is to-day granting divorces against non-residents on mere publica tion. Not many of these States re fuse directly to recognize the decrees grunted in other Stales. Numerous other cases could be sub mitted to show how impossible the present divorce system is and what it is destined to result in in the future. Society will no doubt recognize such divorces and remarriages, but the State laws will not, and it is the children that come from such marriages who sutler. This is the strongest argument that cun be made for a uniform divorce law. It is high time the country awoke to the seriousness of the situation. February, 18(58, had no full moon. This was the first time such a phenom enon had occurred since the creation of the world, and it will not occur again, according to the computation of astron omers, for 2,600,000 years. Two Children Had Croup. The two children of J. W. Nix. mer chant. Cleveland, Ga., bad croup last winter. One was a boy of (5. the other a girlof 8 years. Mr. Nix writes: “Roth got so cooked up they could hardly breathe and couldn’t talk. 1 gave them Foley's Honey and Tar and nothing else and it entirely cured them." This re- liable medicine should be in every home, for it gives immediate relief from colds, coughs and croup, heals raw. inflamed throats and loosens phlegm. J. F. Lee Drug Co. It’s the Only Way. Amorim Prr*l Mail-order houses have been a thorn in the side of local merchants the' country over for many yciirj They | hive been denounced by business men ! and attacked in editorials time and again, but each annual statement eh . vs more business done and better profits than the year before. People may be exhorted to trade at home—to support home industry—until doomsday, but unloss the local stor*»o in the smaller cities throughout the country adopt the same methods that have marie the mail-order business so profitable, these pleadings will be in vain. Advertise! Advertising is the basis of the success of these Lig concerns, am! the manner in which the Houghton (Mich.) Mining Gazette points out the failings to those merchants who com plain most against mail order competi tion, will be interesting to many pub lishers. After referring to the period ical denunciation which mail-order houses rectdve, the article says: "Hut the mail-order houses go right along doing more and more business, just the same and notwithstanding. They are now planning a nation-wide campaign to follow up their catalogue business. Rusiness men cuss them and try various and divers means of at tacking them. Hut abusing the mail order houses never is an argument. Saying mean tilings about them is making them friends. Talking about supporting home industry doesn’t get very far, because the average business man who talks about patronizing home business usually buys moreor less of his own personal necessities somewhere else. There is only one way to com pete with the mail-order houses and that it is to do business the way hecloes it. Don’t ask for sympathy because you carry a lot of bad accounts on your books. Glean ’em up. Don’t complain about his prices when you can meet them. Meet them nnd let your public- know that you are meeting them. Do your advertising and do it more effi ciently than he does. His once a year catalogue isn't in it with weekly an nouncements of prices. Wo are not suggesting that you run one big adver tisement for a week or anything like that. But make your advertising val uable by its very attractiveness, its continuity, and the plain statements of goods and prices. We can show dozens that are doing it every day in the Ga zette. They are not sitting in the rear end of the store kicking about the mail-order houses and thh ungrateful public. They are putting in some time each day getting a good, straight from the shoulder advertisement ready to print in the morning. They are dis counting their tills. Their business is good. They look pros porous and they show it, too. They are making money and thinking about what sort of an au tomobile they will buy next. They are getting the mail-order people, because they run their business right, keep their collections up to the minute, beat the mail-order prices, and toll the peo ple about it all of the time. That last item is the most important of all.” Quit Pouring Your Money Through a Sieve. The ProRreBBive Farmer. That’s exactly what we are doing when we purchase every year $100,000,- 000 worth of commercial fertilizers and then pay little or no attention to soil conservation, letting the cream of our land wash away, never to return. The curse of the agricultural South is soil erosion barren, gullied hi'.ISides that never knew the blessings of a carpet of green in winter; overflowing streams, yellow and red with the very heart's blood of our fields and farms. There has never been and never will be a rich farmer on poor land, there has never been and never will be a suc cessful farmer who does not make soil conservation and soil building his pri mary business. On the cultivated fields there are two essentials to this end: (11 a growing crop on the land every month in the year, nnd (2) broad, cul tivated terraces on the rolling acres. Whatever his crops, the farmer who, carefully and consistently, looks to these primary requirements will have laid an enduring foundation on which to build a permanently prosperous ag riculture. Women may train their daughters in all the ways they imagine to be picas ing to men; they may teach them to wiggle and squirm and reef in their eyes and lisp out insipid nothings be tween carmine-stained lips, and yet the men will desert them to dock about the girl who is fully and completely inde pendent of them, and who cares very little whether they fall in love with her or not. It is natural for men to want what they cannot get too easily, and women cheapen themselves who thus "stoop to conquer.” Minister Gives Testimony The Rev. C. M. Knighton. Havana, Ha., writes: “For three months I suf fered intense pain in kidneys and back, which at times lain me up entirely. I read of Foley's Kidney Pills, and after trying various remedies without result. I decided to try the Foley treatment. 1 was relieved almost with" the first dose, and it is a fact that I used only 1* bot tles when ail of the pains disappeared. 1 am 65 years of age anc now feel like n young man again."

An alligator pear tree has been in sured by Lloyds for $80,000 This makes an American tree, situated in Los An geles county, Cal , the most valuable tree in the world, even o tstripping the centuries old date palm of Arabia. It is insured against ravage by wind or rain. This avacado tree grows on a fruit ranch in Whittier, Cal. Last year it produced 8,000 pears, which brought the owner an average of 60 cents apiece. Besides the pears, which are used exten sively for salads, the owner received $1,500 for the bud wood. The total amount brought by the tree last year was $8,000, which is equivalent to the interest (at 5 per cent, j on a $00,( 00 in vestment. Not only is the tree valuable in its production of fruit and bud wood, but valuable products can be taken from the fruit, allowing no waste in the event of over-ripeness or spoiling. The seed is used for the making of black dye, and any fruit unfit for market purposes can be s'queezed and the oil expressed. Recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a had bronchial cough. 1 felt, its bene ficial effect immediately and before I had finished the bottle 1 was cured. I never tire of recommending this remedy to my friends.” writes Mrs. William Bri ht. Ft. Wayne, Ind. Obtainable everywhere. There is no more unfortunate thing than a loveless marriage. The sacred relationship is only hallowed by affec tion, and without love it is worse than mockery. But let the unloving and the unloved be very sure that a worse fate does not await them before taking rad ical steps to change their condition. There arc few wives who will not re spond to attentions prompted by a self- sacrificing spirit, and it is an easy mat ter to repay devotion in kind. Few husbands but are susceptible to sweet and gentle influences, when the guiding spirit is the one whom they promised to “love, honor and protect’’—the moth er of their children. Money is a good thing, especially in these times, but there is something much more valuable. It is character, the consciousness of a pure and honor able life. This should be a young man’s first aim to preserve at any cost. From Weak and Lame To Well and Strong Try thorn.
