TALK OF ANOTHER

DIVORCE

POWWOW

Clubwomen Much Stirred by Recent Criticism Dr. Blount Indignant. CHICAGO, April 4. Another women's divorce conference will be called within a short time as a resul of the controversy between the participants and the Illinois divorce commission over last Saturday's meeting. Leaders among the women have individually denounced Judge Marcus Kavanaugh and other commissioners for reading their resolutions as meaning "free love," and are desirous that a concerted protest be made. Dr. Anna E. Blount, of Oak Park, has renewed her criticism of the stand taken by the divorce commission, and particularly regarding the "free love" Interpretation given the resolutions, of which she was co-author with the secretary, Mrs. A. A. Jaotta. a.Dr. Blount - Makes Statement. "As chairman of the divorce conference at the Congress, I wish to correct one point in the published report of the action taken by that meeting," said Dr. Blount. "The resolution making insanity and feeble mindedness grounds for divorce was injected by , the conference. '"I had heard bo much comment of mingled indignation and amusement on the public meeting of the divorce commission that it seemed advisable to hear what a body of representative club women would say on the subject. A general invitation was extended by announcing the meeting at the various clubs, so the audience was fairly representative. "This conference was of the opinion that the bilj now .in . the Jegislature at the instigation of the self-constituted divorce commission is pernicious. "Women file the petitions in threefourths of all divorce suits in the United States, and are granted twotnirds of the divorces. Men file onefourth of the petitions and are granted one third of the divorces. Says Courts Favor Men. "A man, if he applies for a divorce, has a 50 per cent better chance to get it than a woman. Why? Because the judges are men, the lawyers are men, and the laws are made by men. . "It is natural, . then, that women should watch with some misgivings the efforts of a body like this same self-constituted divorce commission to add expense to the necessary divorce proceedings, and to - have the state's attorney defend all divorce suits. "And as to the epithet of free love promptly hurled at us by members of that commission, I confess I was not a little surprised and indignant. I am not one to be scared by epithets. "If I were to fling the epithet, 'purchased love at Judge Kavanaugh it would not elucidate the situation. I can only say the speakers at our conference, most of them mothers of families, need no defense of their honor and integrity at my hands. "The keynote of our conference was the welfare of the child and to that end we deprecated the continuance of marriages that would add more children of bad heredity to fill our already replete institutions for feebleminded, insane and other defectives. "Judge Kavanaugh's concern for little children will do little good if its object is to keep these children in a home where man and woman are shut up against their will' like rats in a trap. Where Collusion Figures. "The welfare of the potential child, as well as that of the actual child, must be considered. . To that end every divorce petition where collusion figures should be granted. In Japan Italy, Belgium, Austria, Norway and Sweden divorce is granted by mutual consent or for 'aversion. But we punish collusion by the extreme penalty of continuing the marriage."

It is needless to suffer any longer fwlth rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and bent out of shape with its Jieart-wrenching pains, when you can asily avoid it. Rheumatism comes from weak, inactive kidneys, that .fail to filter from the blood, the poisonous waste matter and uric acid; and it is useless to rub on liniments or take ordinary remedies to relieve the pain. This only prolongs' the misery and can't possibly cure you. The only way to cure rheumatism is to remove the cause. The new discovery, Croxone, does this because it neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous substances and uric acid that lodge In the joints and muscles, to scratch and irritate and cause rheumatism, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, so they can liter the poison from the blood and drive It on and out of the system. Croxone is the most wonderful medicine ever made for curing chronic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and bladder disorders. You will find it different from all other remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It matters not how old you are, or how long you have suffered, it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. You will find relief from the first few doses and you will be surprised how quickly all your misery and suffering will end. An original package of Croxone costs but a trifle at any first class drug store. All druggists are authorixed to sell it on a positive moneyback guarantee. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cure the worst backache or overcome urinary disorders. (Advertisements

Development of Material Interests Of the Stated-Increased Productions

Definite advancement in the cause ' of road Improvement was made when the United States' Office of Public Roads, after spending several years in gathering statistics here and abroad, announced tha the average cost of marketing farm products over the roads of this country is 23 cents per ton per mile, as against 8 cents per ton per mile in those European countries where the roads have been improved. The further report that the average haul here and abroad is about the same, nine and four-tenths miles, brings the matter home to every citizen of a state, and makes possible the computation of local wastefulness. Thirty-three and one-third bushels of potatoes or wheat make a ton. According to the official figures, therefore, the difference between the cost of marketing that amount of produce would amount to 15 cents per ton per mile, or $1.41 for the average distance. This amounts to a trifle over 4 cents a bushel on wheat and potatoes, and relatives amounts on other products. Without improved roads this money is wasted; sunk in the mud With good roads this money is saved and becomes distributed in the regular channels of commerce, adding to the material wealth of the community, and the state, and the Nation. In practically every instance where a good road has been constructed through a section of country an immediate improvement has taken place all along the line. Houses, barns and out-buildings have been fixed up and painted; rickety and unsightly fences have given place to attractive and well kept ones; rusty and dilapidated farming implements have been removed from sight of the highway; trees have been trimmed, lawns kept mowed, and the landscape generally brightened up to keep pace with the spirit of improvement. Schools have improved because of more regular attendance became possible Crops have increased because of more careful farming and because of the accessibility of proper fertilizers. Returns have improved because of the possibility of marketing products when prices were favorable instead of only when roads were passable. All these improvements contribute to general commercial progress. Whatever adds to the prosperity of the predominating class in any community adds to the prosperity of the community as a whole, and to each of its varied interests; and whatever enhances the welfare of communities, and increases their material wealth, enhances in similar ratio the welfare and prosperity of the State and Nation. The logical conclusion is plain. When the local section, the larger community, and the state as a Whole, all profit by the establishment of a public improvement, all should co STOMACH TONIC EXTRACT ) 2 OUNCES r C0STS50CTS.

operate in the payment for that improvement. The larges and 1 more complete comprehension of the subject includes the Federal Government as a party to the general plan of cooperation. In good road construction, co-operation necessarily takes the form of state aid, the state, county, and township each contributing its quota pf the amount as may be provided by law. Within the last twenty-one years thirty-four of the forty-eight states of the union have adopted this plan in different variations, and the favorable results, in every case, have been tangible and reducible to figures Wrhen one not accustomed to improved highways travels over the good roads of another state, and notes the attractive farm houses and well kept farms, and the prosperous and up to date villages and cities, he is extremely likely to mistake the effect for the cause. More than one such has been heard to remark that "a prosperous community like this can build any kind of a road it wants;" etc. There was the mistake. It was the improved roads which made the prosperity possible. Before the roads were built, such communities were suffering from the same disadvantages of over work and under profit. It was the improvement of the roads which came first, and made the condition of prosperity possible. The opening of improved roads, which state aid makes possible, permits the establishments of new in

dustries; the utilization of natural resources; and the consequent creation of new markets, both for merchandise and farm products. And good roads, in combination with the telephone, the rural mail carrier and the motor de livery system not only produces rural and therefore general prosperity, but also eliminates that isolation which, from time immemorial, on account of poor roads, has been the chief objection to rural existence. STREET STORIES Sergeant Rich of the local army post tells of the fatal experiences of a monkey that was In the habit of playing antics in the army camp situated along the border of Texas. "The monkey," said Rich, "once came into my tent and grabbed my razor which had been placed on the table and ran up a tree nearby. We watched the animal as it inspected the newly found toy. It was chattering contentedly to itself and all the time laboring to open the blade. It finally succeeded and grabbing both parts of the razor tightly,' encountered the sharpened edge of the blade. The instrument; being so sharp severed the monkey's claws. It gave a sharp cry of pain, darte4 Into the trees and was never seen since.

Public safety will be jeopardized if the bill is passed which has just been introduced in the New Jersey Legislature designed to prohibit a railroad from testing the diligence of its engifneers and firemen in the observance of i track signals. i The Pennsylvania Railroad last year . conducted some 51,000 tests, setting signals unexpectedly and without ; warning. These were measures of i safety. The purpose was to test the i alertness of men in heeding signals. In general, the men gave perfect performances, but out of the 51,000 tests there were 510 failures one per ; cent every one of which of course j had in it possibilities of accident. j The aim of the railroad is to make ! the men watchful, in order that the ! failures and accident possibilities j will, in the interest of the public and ; the railroads, be reduced to a minimum, i If this bill is passed, this elemen-1 tary and reasonable measure of efflc-, iency and public protection, will be destroyed. , The bill provides that In cases where j tests of apparatus are to be made, in j the operation of trains, the railroad i shall give previous notice in writing j to the engineer. j The measure in question is New Jer- i sey Assembly Measure No. C27, and j was introduced by Assemblyman Arthur F. McGrath, of Jersey City, N. J.
