CONSIDER FT. WAYNE.

The number of divorce cases filed in the Allen county courts continued to maintain an unpleasantly disturbing similarity to the number of marriage licenses issued by the clerk. Whatever we may think- of trial marriage in theory, it is useless for us to deny that 4 it is a common practice among our jj people. The institution of marriage has well-nigh lost its sacredness and by reason of that fact the institution of the home is seriously menaced.—Ft.

Wayne News. Wayne is deserving of the sympathy of the entire state. The dissolution of the marital relations in such "Jv%} I wholesale degree is sufficient to alarm any community and it is suggested that the good people of Ft. Wayne look about them for the cause. There must be some influence, some laxity in dojmestic life or a low appreciation for the marriage state which conduces to such widespread violation of the biblical injunction "Let no man put ^asunder."

KfCourt recprds here show the reverse to be the case. Not making any special claims, or not indulging in any false notions as to Terre Haute's general domestic virtues, still facts are facts find the serenity and fidelity of domestic life seems to thrive here bet- •. ter than any place else In the state.

Too, where this is the case it can /Z Ibe depended on that there will prevail a better citizenship, higher ideals as to civic Virtues and. even,., greater peace 1 and prosperity. •j It pains us to hear of Ft.. Wayne's dilemma. A community in which the

institution of marriage "has lost its sacredness" it not an inviting place !?. ,.v for the home seeker. It would be well

If the religious and civic forces of Ft. Wayne bestir themselves to rekindle a deeper regard for' the home relations. Terre Haute voices the, hope that a year from now Ft. Wayne will show some signs of a quickened conscience. No community can advance with its •V8fy fundamentals jeopardized as the News admits those of Ft. Wayne are. She has the sympathy of her sister cities.

WATSON'S ERROR.

Jim" Watson, according to the Sunday papers, is certain that all of the progressives are dead. "Dead as a door-nail," is the emphasis that "Jim" puts on it.

Claiming that a total of more than 1,700,000 progressive votes were cast at the recent election, progressives in conference at Chicago show no indication suspended animation. Coupled with

DO HOUSEWORK

The Grippe Left Mrs. Findley in Such IIr IL a Weak, Nervous Condition That I'-'- ®er ^ase Was Serious.

Stvery, Kans.-—"The Grippe left me in a very weak, nervous, run-down ^condition. I was too weak to do my

housework and could not sleep. I tried

different medicines without benefit and finally one day read about Vinol, and decide^ to try it. In a very short time ,1 cculd see an improvement and after •taking two bottles I have a good appetite and my health and strength •w.is restored. "I think Vinol is a grand medicine l&ncl every weak, nervous, run-down "•woman should take it."—Mrs. Geo. 'J'indley, Severy, Kans.

Vinol creates strength because, it jbontains all the medicinal tiesue-bulid-jjng elements of cod liver oil actually *taJ*en from fresh, healthy cods' livers. 4To thia is added peptonate of iron, a inost essential element for the blood, tall dissolved in a delicious tonic native wine.

Vinol creates an appetite, aids digessttion, makes pure healthy blood. In this ®fr,atural manner it buildsj up the runandown, weak and nervous system, rein places weakness with strength. If Vi—hoi fails to creatc strength after sickfnjicss we will return your money.

their purchase the other day of a morning and evening daily newspaper at Boston, the progressive attitude shown at Chicago may be taken to promise several hard fights yet before leaders of the party will be willing to quit.

Even more interesting than the progressives' attitude toward the question of their own dissolution is their declaration, also at Chicago, that if they find they have no hope of electing one from their own ranks president in 1916 they will turn to President Wilson. Between the reactionary elements now in control of the republican party and the party of Woodrow Wilson the choice for conscientious supporters of progressive principles is easy for the latter.

Progressives claim some of the credit for Mr. Wilson's nomination at Baltimore, and undoubtedly are entitled to some of it. The renomination of William H. Taft preceded the Baltimore gathering. Democrats knew that the Taft candidacy would tend to consolidate the ultra-conservativ vote behind him. It was as yet uncertain how far the Roosevelt revolt would go a great mass of. progressive-republican sentiment was in a waiting mood. That weighed in falvpr of the New Jersey candidate, he was nominated and his progressive record is too familiar to need reiteration here.

THE EVENING PAPER.

Comparative results from different mediums of advertising are not always easy to obtain. There is an inclination to be secretive, and allow the other fellow to pay for his own exprience.

K. W. Watters, owner of the WalkOver Boot Shop in Buffalo, N. Y., at a convention of shoe dealers, recited an actual experience that is interesting. Mr. Watters has used street cars, billboards, paper bulletins, catalogue distributing, blotters, novelty advertising, souK'enirs, etc., and says: "The one great medium is the newspaper. All other mediums are supplementary to this one."

In referring to direct returns from street car advertising and newspaper advertising, Mr. Watters said: "Weed & Co., a large retail hardware concern of Buffalo, advertised an alarm clock in street cars for thirty days at a special price of 85 cents. They sold 75 clocks in 30 days. The same copy was used in the Buffalo EJvening News and sold 200 clocks in one day."

GOD AND THE WAR.

Rev. Clark R. Parker, in his Sunday sermon, shook the theory that the present European war is any indication of the failure of Christianity. If there is not sufficient evidence on this score, the coming,: of hft,Tuv,k into the arena would afford some evidence that this war and God are not closely related in any respect and to interpret the war as a sign of religious dissolution is foolish.

Is God responsible? The rulers of all the powers now engaged in "war have all, with a single exception, laid the responsibility upon God. Thanks to the unspeakable Turk for unsheathing his sword without crying, "Allah il Allah!" It is unthinkable that God should be the author of war, since his other-name is love. "He came all the way from heaven to say so. On the slopes of Olivet he taught it: "Love your enemies: bless them that curse you pray for them that despitefullyuse you." On the cross he exemplified it: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

MR. WYMAN'S THEORY.

Arthur Wvman, assistant to the president of the Chicago Railway Equipment company, has contributed to American industries for November an interesting and able article, entitled "Send Business Men to Congress." Mr. Wvman calls attention to the fact that most of the problems which now

MISS LOUISE DREW.

Coming from a family of famous actors and actresses, it is little wonder that Miss Louise Drew, the daughter of John Drew, shows that she has inherited histrionic genius from her long line of player folk. In private life Miss Drew, who is playing in "It Pays to Advertise," is considered one of tne most vivacious leaders of the younger social set.

come before congress involve economic and business questions with which men of business training and experience are the best fitted to deal. Therefore, the business interests, of the country should take steps to secure the election of such men. Furthermore, he points out, the nucleus for an organization to aocomplish this result exists in such organizations as the American Bankers' association, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Railway Business Association and the many chambers of commerce through-' out the country which have been united in the chamber of Commerce of the United States. "If," says Mr. Wyman, "every man affiliated directly or indirectly with the chamber of commerce of the United States would take upon himself the task of disseminating sound doctrine within the radius of hie personal acquaintance, how many tirnes multiplied would be the effect of its splendid propaganda. Imagine 3 condition whefe-ev.ery man connected with a business concern conceived it to bo his duty to 'plug* for the principles in which he believes with the same degree of energy, tact, fairness and constructive ability which he employs in the keen competition of his own business. "Certainly the?'needs for more business men in congress, and for a more active participation by business men in public affairs, are fully as great as Mr. Wyman says. Unfortunately, the business interests have in the past worked at cross purposes. Each class of them haes sought for what it has conceived to be its own selfish advantage instead of for what would be for the interests of the country as a whole. For example, commercial bodies and industrial concerns have worked for regulation of railways to promote their own interests, to a large extent, regardless of the effect on the railways and the prosperity of the nation as a whole. Organized labor has acted more wisely. It has stood together as a class in advocating and opposing legislation, and in consequence has usually got what it has wanted. Can the business man of the country, little and big, ,be brought to a realization of the fact that, broadly

HOROSCOPE FOE A DAY.

Tuesday, December 8, 1914.

This is rather a fortunate day, for the sun, Jupiter and Mars are all in fafvorable aspect.

Jupiter is in a place that leads uncertainty to the planet's aspect. Late in the day lawyers, bankers, merchants and brokers should benefit. There is the prognostication of many failures, however, and business disaster that will end a period of fear in the commercial world. Brighter prospects are foretold from the first of February.

According to the stars need of giving will be urgent at holiday time, owing to economic conditions in this country as well as to the demand for aid for war victims.

France again has a sign that is favorable. There will be periods of severe depression, however, before peace is attained.

Persons whose birthdate it is probably will have a busy year. Men will make less money than usual, but if they avoid speculation they will succeed. Both men and women who are employed should be rather fortunate.

Children born on this day halve the augury of good luck in life. They will be generous, free-handed to the point of extravagance and never without money.

SOLOMON ISLAND MYSTERY.

One of-the

most

extraordinary prac

tices among the natives of Guadalcanal-, 'in

the"

Solomon islands, sg.ys Jo

seph Heisfhton, in the December Wide World magazine, is the

known

use

of what is

as the "vele," which is-suppoesed

to have the power of causing death to the person against whom it is employed. The "vele" has' the appearance of a baby's small wicker-work rattle, and is generally enclosed in a little. bag, hich is again carefully placed in a bamboo box, zealously guarded by the owner.

When the latter wishes to cause the death of an enemy he takes the "vele" between the little linger and the second finger .of the left hand, and then starches for the object of his hate, looking carefully to right and left to make sure he is observed by no one.

Having found his enemy he stands at full height, stretching out his arm and the "vele" towards him, at the same time turning- his face from him,. and hissing out various curses. The bewitched man then turns to see who has hissed. The "vele" man then turns av.-ay, holding the "vele" behind him, still pointing to his enemy, who comes running tow-ards him, apparently, unconsciously, and staggers round him.

The "vele" man then turns round, and with the "vele" makes a movement towards his enemy's right and left breast, knees, toes, the small of the back, shoulderblades, and temples. The "vele' man then calls to his enemy to "sit up," go to the village, and say, "I have 'veled' you," at the same time naming the time when the 'vele" will begin to work.

Such is the belief in the power of the "vele" that at the hour mentioned a man who has been "veled" is convulsed in a delirium, apparently of fright, enduring great pain in the parts indicated by the "vele" man. Death very quickly ensues, and when the "vele" man hears the cries of mourning •he returns to his own village.

No one has ever been able to explain in what mysterious manner the "vele" nets as a death-dealing instrument, but the key to the mystery seems to lie in the abnormal superstition of the Melanesian native.

PASSING THOUGHTS.

Men whom luck favors pride themselves on their shrewdness those who fail through their blunders blame bad luck.

You can't always believe the number of the candles on a woman's birthday cake.

It is the business of lawyers to disagree and to keep their clients in disagreement.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Dogs and Mashers.

Editor of The Tribune—Sir: Referring to the dog ordinance agitation that appears to be occupying attention just now, wish to say that if the public officials would pass an ordinance preventing well dressed "hoodlums." who call themselves men, from standing on street corners and in front of office buildings, making insulting remarks about every girl or woman who passes them, it would be more to their credit, as these creatures are the menace of the streets and not the innocent, harmless dog who does not annoy or*huft any person, if left alone.

ONE OF THE WOMEN..

Spirit of the Season.

Editor of The Tribune:—Can you remember a time when our land was so full of the glorious spirit of giving as it is now? America at this moment is a nation of cheerful givers. The good will of a hundred happy Christmas tides is packed into eadh flying hour.

All alike are giving what they can for the good of other lands in this time of trial and travail. It is splendid to hear of relief ships crossing the seas in their voyages of love. Everybody feels better for this great nationwide wave of kindly thoughts, thig wonderful season of good will.

And no wonder—for no one will find a better cure for depression than to do something for the good of others. Be a spendthrift with kindness and you will enrich yourself immeasurably.
