Modern Marriage Is 51 -‘Notorious Failure” Says Noted Novelist By Lincoln Qijarberg (L . p. Stuff Correspondent) lo» Angeles, Dec. 24. — (United „ , sH )—The “notorious failure" of rn marriage ** causing a gradual b°t sure demise of this ancient social .’"tltntion, according to Joseph Hergeilnter, noted novelist. "Marriage is fundamentally disb()neßt," declared the writer. "Modern Jives and husbands are notorious cheaters, the exceptions only proving tbe practice."

Consequently, even women are getting away from monogamy. It was sort o f wished on theth in the first place, I guess." , Hergesheimer declared marriage would be an obsolete relic of the social order within the next two or three generations if the present trend continues.

"They haven’t discrimination. They wear fashions which are absurd, they adopt customs which they don't understand, and they run their households beyond their means. "Women are not hojiest in their martial responsibilities. They are slaves to fashion and to customs they think are socially correct “They have absolutely no conception

W. A. LOWER, rotary. Stop That Backache! Many Decatur Folks Have Found the Way. Is a dull, nerve-racking backache wearing you out? Do you feel older and slower than you should? Are you tired, weak and nervous; find it impossible to be happy, or enjoy the good times around you? Then there's something wrong and likely it's your kidneys Why not get at the cause? Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Your neighbors recommend Doan's. Read what this Decatur resident says: Mrs. E. A. Mann, 1003 W. Monroe St., says: "My kidneys were out of order and never acted regularly. Severe Backaches made it hard for me to do my housework. I also had nervous headaches. Doan s Pills from the Holthouse Drug Co., reliever me of the backache and kidney complaint.’’ (Statement given October 23, 1920.) On June 7, 1924 Mrs. Mann said: "I am glad to recommend Doan's again for they have always rid me of kidney trouble.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn ,00.. Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
