MARRIAGE EASIER IN RUSSIA UNDER NEW SOVIET CODE Added Burden Causes More Deliberation Before Taking Vow. MOSCOW, Feb. 25.—Getting married in Russia is easier now than it was, but the state of being married has been made very much more burdensome. Russian men are thinking hard now before plunging into matrimony. The new Soviet marriage code belied entirely the first reports that the Russians had abolished marriage. They have made common law marriages legal so that registration is no longer esse.itial. But in this they have only written into formal form the decision of Soviet judges everywhere in the past four years. Common Law The judges, exercising what is known as the “freedom of their revolutionary conscience,” which enables them to fit the words of the laws to what seems to them fair aTid reasonable, had made common-law marriages binding already. Now they are so in the words of the law as well. So getting married is simpler than before. There is no longer the fuss and slight expense of registration. Instead, a mode of life suggesting \sbdlock is enough to prove a marriage and to entitle a wife to the various benefits of the married state. Registration now is only desirable because it is the simplest proof of marriage. It does not need the support of witnesses nor of documentary evidence. New Restraint But being married is more arduous on account of the new law. A OUART OF WATER f MY HELPS KIDNEYS When Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers, Also Take a • Little Salts Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some form, says a well-known authority, because the acids created excite the kidneys. Then they become overworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. 1 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting .right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; "take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer -irritate, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help -keep the kidneys and urinaryorgans clean, thus often avoiding serious kidney disorders.—Advertisement.

father is saddled with the cost of maintaining his children until they are 18 years old and this responsibility remains with him even though he may be divorced. It Is operating as a restraint on too Impetuous experiments in wedlock. Not many Russians nowadays can support children for eighteen years. , The new law, however, has laid on this burden both ways. The obligation of adult children to tak" care of their, aged parents has been imposed on them, chiefly to free the State of the burden. Keep Possessions And the advantage of matrimony which in other countries often leads to marriage for money, haS also been abolished in the new Soviet code. In its clauses respecting property, the law now provides that those who marry keep as their own whatever possessions they had before abandoning their single state. Only what is earned after the marriage is common property, and if a union breaks up through divorce, each of the separated parties takes away what he, or she, possessed before the union. DOOM PLAIN SHINGLE London Hairdressers Predict Extreme Cut Will Pass. Bu United Press LONDON, Feb. 25.—Fashionable London hairdressers are convinced that the shingle cannot last. Debutantes who hope to be presented at court during the coming season are already allowing their hair to grow to the new semi-shingle, which is not disliked by King George as much as the plain shingle. With the semi-shingle the hair is allowed to grow about six inches below the neck so that the ends can be dressed and tucked into curled or rose plaits. The hairdressers claim that they will not lose business by the new style because women will have to visit the hairdressers more frequently to keep the longer hair well dressed. For the first time in thirty?five years the number of pensioners on the government rolls declined below the half million mark during October, 1926.

GERMAN BUDGET KASODD ITEMS Money From Selling Old Newspapers Listed. Bu United Press BERLIN, Feb. 25.—Germany’s budget for 1927 contains several' oddities. Besides the sum of 650,000 marks, granted to President von Hindenburg, there is an item labelled “presidential revenues,” which describes the profit accruing to the nation from the sale of useless or superfluous materfial In the president’s household. Thus, 60 marks are garnered by selling old newspapers, rags and similar stuff. Last year the sum derived from the same source amounted to 996 marks. Fifty thousand marks are allotted for the repair of the president’s home. The budget further reveals that the Reichstag consumes 16,000 marks worth of writing materials, while newspaper subscriptions for deputies in the German parliament cost 10,000 marks a year. Free German railway tickets for Reichstag deputies cost the government the tidy sum of 1,250,000 marks annually.
