MERE GUILD WINS THIRD COMPANION AFTER 2 FAILURES

Women of unmentionable age who have been unable to capture the' elusive hearts of the male sex, have a right to be Jealous of Mrs. Eleanor Katherine Hirschfield-Comstock-Cheak Jenkins. Aged 21, the young lady has captured three husbands and has two divorces behind her. Twice she has been unlucky fn her haste, but entered bravely Into her third matrimonial venture and showed her less experienced finance how to get a marrige license and other unimportant little points about the ceremony. Mrs. Comstock-Cheak-Jenkins is the daughter of Patrolman Hirschfield. She was married at a tender age to Louis P. Comstock, whom her father bad the embarrassing duty of arresting recently. There is no record of her marriage locally and friends have forgotten where she eloped to get the license. This happened in the latter part of 1910. Early in 1911, she had had enough of her erring husband. He was given a sentence for larceny and she secured a divorce ; May 27, 1911. Three days later, June 1, 1911, she was married to Homer Wilson Cheak, eight years her senior, by a local minister. Mr. Cheak failed to carry out his end of the nuptial agreement more than a year after the marriage and the young wife sued for a divorce. She was given a decree December 12, 1914, almost four months ago. "Saturday she brought William Jenkins, 22, Fairview, with her to the clerk's office at the court house and they were soon provided with a license. All they asked was time to get married before the report of the license was published. They were married late Saturday and left the city for a short trip. MAN STEPS IN PATH OF MOVING MACHINE James Williams, a driver for Fraux Puthoff, was hit by an unidentified automobile Saturday night, at Eighth and North E street Saturday night. The ligaments in his left side were torn loose and he is in great pain to day. Williams said he was to blame for the accident, as his eyesight is de fective and he stepped into the path of the machine. The automobile was not running rapidly, and Williams did not think he was badly hurt at the time. The machine left before wit nesses secured the drivers' name, but several took the number. FLEES FROM CAR IN NIGHT DRESS MOBILE, March 29. James Elsworth, a notorious counterfieter from Florence, Arizona, prison who was being transferred to the Federal prison at Atlanta to finish a fifteen year term because the former place was not strong enough to hold him, escaped from the drawing room of a Pullman sleeper here at 2 o'clock this morning in his night clothes and after going over an iron fence at the depot, two Mobile police caught him. An average man breathes about twenty-one cubic feet of air into his lungs every hour.

MRS, SCOTT MAKES RACE FOflJOSITIOtl Local W. R. C. Post Supports Candidacy ; for State Department Presidency. Mrs. Kate Scott will be a candidate for state president of the Woman's Relief Corps, when the G. A. R.. Sons

of Veterans and auxiliary organizations of both societies hold the annual encampment in Marion May 27 and 28. Mrs. Scott will be well supported from this clt3r, and her name will be sent to other corps of the state. Arrangements are being made to have thirty or forty local women at Marion to boost for the Richmond candidate. Because the Soldiers' Home is located at Marion, Sol Meredith post will have an unusually large delegation and will be accompanied by their wives and daughters who belong to the Ladies' Auxiliary of the G. A. R., which also holds its convention in that city. With the Sons of Veteran ce and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Sons ct Veterans, five organizations will have delegations at the encampment. TURKS SUFFER LOSS LONDON, March 29. The Turkish troops, defeated In their campaign against the Egyptian town of Suez on March 23, have abandoned their efforts in that direction and returned to Nekht. according to an official report from Cairo, issued by the Gevernment Press Bureau today. It states that only three British soldiers were killed In the fighting at El Kubrl, and sixteen wounded, while the enemy lost fifty killed. It has frequently been stated that General Foch, second In command to General Joffre and Joffre's chief lieutenant and confidant, Is Alsatian. This is an error, as he comes from the Basque country, on the borders of Spain. Keep the Children Bright and Happy Happy youngsters must be healthy. The digestive organs of children get out of order as readily as do those of their elders, and the result, is equally distressing. When the bowels are clogged with an accumulation of refuse from the stomach the child naturally becomes cross and fretful from the discomfort, and is often punished for temper when medical attention is really what is needed. The next time your child is cross and unhappy, without apparent reason, try giving It a mild laxative. Dr. Caldwell'B Syrup Pepsin is a mild, pleasant tasting combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, and is especially recommended for children because of its freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs and its gentle action. It is sold in drug stores everywhere. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St., Monticello, Ills.
