Says Wives May Use Brooms on Husbands MACON, GA., Dec. 6. According to a ruling by Judge N. AT. Shelton, in the Circuit Court, a wife has the right to use a broomstick on her husbands’s head in regulating household matters. D. Foley, a farmer, who was suing his wife for a divorce on the ground that she is a shrew, swore his running mate had assaulted him with a stick of wood, a stove cap and a broomstick.

The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table depend s<* much on the good digestion of each individual present that the experi ences of’ some former dyspeptics who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give—but it is advice that is f - 'dom heeded—is to eat slowly and masticate each mouthful carefully. However, if slow eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This rem edy is an excellent digestant. and in addition to helping in the digestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumu lation of waste that snould long ago have been pasesd off. It is safe, re liable. pleasant-tasting and results are guaranteed. Major S. Martin, of Joplin. Mo., now 77. thinks Dr. Caldell’s Syrup Pepsin has helped him to a longer and hap pier life. He has not felt so good in years as he has since taking this ex cellent medicine, and in spite of his 77 years he says he feels like a boy. It is the ideal remedy for indiges tion. no matter how severe; constipa tion. no matter how chronic, bilious ness, headaches, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar annoyances. You can obtain Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for 50 cents MAJ. S. MARTIN or $1. the latter size being bought by heads of families already familiar with its merits. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. When you use Syrup Pepsin you will see the fallacy of chewing mints and tablets or of taking cathartics, salts, pills and similar drastic medi cines. Unlike these, Syrup Pepsin does not lose its good effect, an*', by automatically training the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work, soon restores these organs to normal. Families wishing to try a free sam ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 419 Washington St.. Monticello, Ill. A postal card with your name and ad dress on it will do. Nation's Offices Overflow With Exhibits, Cumbering Halls and Using Needed Desk Space. By JONATHAN WINFIELD. . WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Govern ment departments in Washington within the next few years will resem ble an old curiosity shop, if the pres ent rate is kept up in accumulating antiques and curios. Although the National Museum, the United States Museum, the Smithsonian Institu tion. Medical Museum and Congres sional Library are filled with things that are of interest to the visitors, each Government department has its own little museum or collection which it strings along its corridors for the benefit of tourists. In some of the buildings there is not space enough to show the collections that have been gathered and they have overflown to the storage rooms in the basements of the buildings. To remedy this plans are afoot for building a great Hall of Records. Con gress has been asked to give the need ed funds. In the War Department, for in stance, the upper floors of the big building are crowded with exhibits of all kinds. Not only can one see the various uniforms worn by the sol diery of the United States Govern ment at different periods from pre- Revolutionary days to the present time, but one can see exhibits of the sculptors’ work and models of the de fenses of the United States along the coasts and inland waters, as well as of battleships. All of these exhibits are placed in the corridors of the buildings, usual ly on the top floor, this part of the building not being used to the extent of the lower floors. Portraits Adorn Walls. In the State Department wing of the State, War and Navy Building the portraits of former Secretaries of War, of Senators and foreign diplo mats adorn the walls of the Secre tary of State’s office and of the offices of his subordinates. In one instance the picture of a foreign diplomat has been relegated to the messengers’ room. „ On the Navy side, the corridors are filled with models of the first and last step in naval arcnitecture and construction. The model of “Old Ironsides’’ looks like a penny sail boat of childhood days alongside the modern dreadnought as typified by the model of the Wyoming, which stapds just outside of the main en trance to Secretary Daniels’ office. Submarines, aeroplanes, wireless cruisers and the navy hospital ship the Solace, can be seen in these mod els. The model of the Arkansas, a sister ship of the Wyoming, cost the United States Government $25,000 to build. Many other models of the earlier vessels of the navy are kept In packing cases in the cellar of the building. D r. S. a.

Lingle, departmental examiner in physiology at the University of . Chicago, has struck a blow at the “high cost of living." He advocates "pickling” fresh eggs when they are cheap and eating the pickled eggs months later when the hens have gone on a strike. "The pickled eggs are not quite so palatable," declared Professor I.ingle, "but they retain all the nourishir*, properties. "Picked eggs in nearly every other particular are as satisfactory as freshly laid. They will fry, scramble and hard boil. "The only wav in which they are not easily prepared is soft boiled. “The question of reducing the cost of living is not one of any special article of diet being replaced, but rather an adjustable and carefully balanced diet. “Them are numerous foods which may l)« made use of. Nuts, a prod uct of California, are a staple of diet, I understand, not a luxury. Peanuts | supply more protein than any other article of food except dried beans. If more peanuts and dried beans were used by fruitarians their diet would be enriched and the cost of dying decreased."
