FAILURE TO INK , BLAMED BY JUDGE FOR DIVORCE EVIL Lahr Says Marriage Can Be Success Without Robbing It of Romance, "Marriage must be put on a thinking. as well as a romantic basis.” “Women are more loyal to the home than men are.” Thus Judge Frank J. Lahr of juvenile court summed up the marriage, divorce and "triangle” problem. Sitting in the courtroom, where he sees only the unhappy marriages and the results of broken homes, the judge affirmed his l>eli f in the success of marriage as an institution. “I cannot judge it by what I see here,” he asserted. "I like to get out and see the many happy families.” Denies Love Is Riind Denying that "love is blind," Judge Lahr said persons in love can think of the true meaning of marriage, but that too often they do not. “It is a matter of education,” he said. “Young people are not trained to think of the family, which is the fundamental institution of life, but >only of the pleasures of marriage. That is why trouble, when it comes, too often breaks up the home. The young husband and wife do not expect it.” Behind the judge's chair hung a large American flag. Taking as an illustration the institution for which the flag stands. Judge Lahr continued: “Must Study Marriage” “To many people, our government is just the shouting of a campaign ’parade, the touch of a policeman's hand, the traffic regulations. Others study civil government and know for what these surface signs stand. "So it is with marriage. We must study It. And we can, without robbing It of romance. “I believe every high school and college should have a course In domestic life.” It is the mother instinct which makes the woman more loyal to her home, the judge said. Romanticism lilaim-d “When a mother is a figure in a ‘love triangle,’ usually she is a very romantic woman, who finds the drudgery °f housekeeping too hard to bear. "One type of man involved in ‘triangles’ is the man who has no definite trade or business. He is accustomed to drifting around. Frequently he has the poolroom habit. When troubles come after marriage, he drifts back to the poolroom, leaving the wife to face the troubles alone. fcHe may drift on Into the company of Another woman. And the wife may seek happiness elsewhere.” The judge does not want to take romance out of marriage. "Don't say that,” he admonished the importer. "Romance is all right. But young people must be taught not to expect marriage to be all romance."

When you catch cold, or have a | headache with rising temperature, you 1 may be in danger of pneumonia. It Is wise to take every precaution to 1 check it, for the grip is spending over ! the country very fast. First, take a ! good cathartic, or laxative, such as | castor oil, or Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant ] Pellets, to eliminate the waste products. Then fortify the system with i a good herbal alterative and blood j tonic, known as Golden Medical Disj covory. This acts on the blood-making j organs, thoroughly cleansing them | and building up energy, vigor and : vitality to resist cold and grip germs, j If you have a chill and violent i headache, better take a hot mustard foot-bath, a hot lemonade, or hot water, and go to bed at once; wrap up well in blankets. Then send to the nearest drug store and get an alkaline remedy known as Anurlc (anti-uric-acid) and put up in Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y. Take four to six tablets before going to sleep, and take as many—three times a day, afterwards.—Advertisement.

By WILLIAM R. BEATTIE ! Extension Horticulturist, United States Department of Agriculture. EVERY man or woman who owns a home which is located on as much as a 20x100 foot city lot ! has an invested capital in land. Business success depends on making invested capital pay an income large enough to return a profit. That portion of the lot occupied by the dwelling yields returns as rent or living accommodations, but the “backyard” in most instances does not pay j an income and often is a source of fixj penso and annoyance. During the war period, when the j people were appealed to from the pa- | triotic standpoint, thousands of back- \ yards were made to produce garden vegetables. Many thousands of others, however, remained either covered with grass or more often a weed patch and a collecting place for all kinds of rubbish. War Gardens Neglected Since the advent of peace many war gardens have been neglected—to private and public loss. The space in many a city or village backyard may not be more than 20x60 feet in size. In some cases a portion of this is needed as a clothes drying yard. By using a folding clothes drying device, the amount of space required for drying the family wash can be reduced to a minimum, leaving considerable area for a garden.
whom one at least held official position during the war, being Sir Douglas Haig's private secretary when he was commander-in-chief of the British army in France. This book is even less reticent. It also is essentially an | apologia and justification of an Individual. To establish their case I writers not only summarize some of j the secret proceedings of the supreme war council and war cabinet, but j give extracts of t heir decisions. Secret Information Supplied By Many. In addition, there have bean endless 1 articles in magazines and newspapers, i some signed, some written anonymously. all attacking either ministers, ■ generals or admirals, and most of th, m clearly supplied with secret information by men who must have acj quired it in their official capacity. What happened in reference to transactions of secret conclaves held In connection with the framing of the peace treaty affords an Illustration of the wny these revelations occur. The question of publication of these proceedings was definitely discussed jat Wr< lilies after th<> signature of j j the peace ti- uty with Germany on | jane 2s, UM'.i. by President Wilson, j representing the United States, by M. 1 Clenv necau and M. Simon, represent- i Ing France; M Sonnino. representing | Italy; M. Makino. representing Japan, ■ and myself Tills is what occurred on i that occasion. For the first time I quote from my own notes written at the time. President Wilson was strongly of ! the opinion that these documents ' ; oughw to be treated as purely private conversation, and ho objected to communication of accounts given in notes 1 1 of private conversation in which all present had spoken their minds with great freedom, as improper use might j afterwards be made of tiiese documents. On the other hand, ho ! did not object to notes being com- , munlcated to special Individuals in j the personal confidence of members of j the council.
Wilson Favored Traditional Course. President Wilson's view was that each government should take the course traditional in its own country, with the clear and distinct understanding that no one should under any circumstances make the process verbal public. M. Clemenceau did not think that such documents could be regarded a? private property, whilst M. Sonnino thought they need not he considered as official documents. For my otvn part I was anxious to know what the precedents were. 1 also felt bound to enter a caveat that If attacks should bo made on the political heads 1 might be forced in particular cases to refer to these notes and I guve warning that I might have to do so unless protest was then made. M. Clemenceau agreed so far that it might be impossible to refuse extracts from the process verheaux to prove particular facts. It will be observed that I was first to safeguard the Interest of persons who, 1 felt
Perchance a garage may occupy the extreme rear portion. This brings the available space down to perhaps 20x40 feet, or 800 square feet, a little less than one-fiftieth of an acre. Right here most persons will be inclined to say, “Oh pshaw, what is the use of trying to grow anything on such a small piece of land?” Production figures supplied by a large number of backyard gardeners have shown that a small piece of land intensively cultivated can ofter be made to produce vegetables at the rate of $2,500 to $3,000 an acre, or if you please, about S6O for a small piece of ground that is available In the backyard, after all other demands have been met. Monthly Rental S5 Dividing this by 12 gives a monthly rental of $5. It is true that the land may be more or less shaded, either by the house or by surrounding buildings, and may not be suitable for the growing of certain crops requiring an abundance of sunshine. There are a number of crops, however, that will grow where they are shaded a portion of the day, provided, however, that the shade is not that from trees, the roots of which will sap not only the plant food, but the moisture from the soil.

certain, would he attacked for their share in the treaty. lam the last to Uke advantage of the proviso. What followed? M. Clemenceau was bitterly attacked by his political opponents for surrendering the French rights. President Wilson was attacked by his political opponents for his assent to provisions of the treaty. In selfdefense they authorized publication of secret reports of the Paris meeting. M. Clemenceau entrusted his defense to M. Tardieu. M. Tardieu in his book “The Truth About the Treaty,” gives most of his attention to the drawing up of that international instrument, hut deals with tlie last portion of the war period and quotes from proceedings of interallied conferences and also of the supreme war council, giving opinions of individuals. He does the same with the deliberations of the peace conference. In fact, the whole hook is hosed on international proceedings of secret nature. M. Poincare, in maligning his rivals, ha? not refrained from making full use of information which came to his knowledge as president of the republic.
