American Wife Mental Companion of
Husband; Queen of Home Salon
By Dr. ELMER E. BROWN, Chancellor of New York University
THE AMERICAN WIFE AND MOTHER IS A WONDERFUL HOME
MAKER. ONCE SHE MAY HAVE THOUGHT.HER DUTY DONE
WHEN SHE PROVIDED FOR THE MATERIAL NEEDS OF HER
HOUSEHOLD. WHEN SHE COOKED THE MEALS IN AN APPETIZING
FASHION AND KEPT ALL THE BUTTONS SEWED ON. TODAY SHE
DOES NOT NEGLECT THESE DUTIES. BUT SHE HAS FOUND OTH
ERS FOR HERSELF. SHE IS NO LONGER THE MERE SERVANT,
THE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE. SHE IS THE MENTAL COMPANION OF
HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN, THE QUEEN OF THE HOME SALON
SHE DISCUSSES BUSINESS AND POLITICS and the great
world movements with her husband instead of letting him do all her
thinking for her. She keeps herself young, outwardly and inwardly, as
flhe was never able to do in former davs, and so she becomes the HELP
FUL COMRADE AND CONFIDANTE OF HER CHILDREN, lier
influence over them, if she will use it, is greater than when she seemed
60 aged, so much out of toueh with her times.
THE DIVORCE LAWS.
All that glitters is not gold and
by the same token much that has
the outward resemblance of benev
olence is sometimes quite the con
trary. The Empire State's rigid di
vorce law, admitting of legfel sep
arations cnly on statutory grounds,
at first ?lance appears to be a far
sighted humanitarian provision to
safeguard the gacredutss of mat
rimony, but is it?
Divorce may be au evil. There
may be too much of it. That is a
debatable question and this is not
a debating medium. But it is pat
ent to the most casual observer that
one state alone canno' curb the di
vorce habit, so long aa her sister
states make no such attempt. It
is like Don Quixote tilting at wind
mills for New York to fight divorce
by having a drastically prohibitive
divorcee statute, while in other
states one may obtain sucrease
from domesticity by alleging mere
ly that his mate has cold feet which
she puts in the small of his back
at night, or that one's husband is
tempenr.ental, or that the lady
smokes cigarettes in bed, thereby
raising tne risk on the fire insur
ance. All it takes to get around
Father Knickerbocker's legal com
plications to protect the home and
fireside Is a little money—carfare
and attorney's fees.
Take the case of the million
aires' secret divorce in France that
electrfiied society folk when final
ly it leaked out. It was known for
months that the pair were at outs.
Married for sixteen years and the
parents of three children, they could
no longer live together in harmony
ana agreed to separate. They di
vided their iroperty equally and
took up separate residences. The
children, by mutual consent, went
with the father. Those people were
determined on a divorce, and all
the efforts of relatives and friends
failed to dissuade them. Arguments
fell on deaf ears, with no more ef
fect than water on a duck's back.
Did the ugly divorce law of New
York restrain them? It did not, bo
cause they have plenty of money
and a trip around the world meant
nothing to them. They were deter
mined to sever the tie that bound
them, because they had come to the
parting of the ways. The wife of
another man had prepared a mil
lion dollar alienation suit against
the mill'onaire's . wife. But being
people of refinement both man and
woman shrank from the mutually
revolting testimony that would have
to be given if they were separated
by the laws of their own state.
They could not endure that sort of
character butchery and its attend
ant notoriety. So they turned to
France. The wife went to Paris and
established a residence. Then she
filed a . suit for divorce, charging
her extravagantly rich husband with
desertiou. He followed her to
France and filed a counter-suit,
making a similar charge. The
French court, as Is the custom, com
placently asked the warring couple
if a reconciliation wer ,i impossible.
Both declared an agreement was
out of the Question. Just so, said
the court, and handed down divorce
decrees to both. The man and wo
man shared the doubtful honor of
cutting the matrimonial knot. Both
were left free, with no stigma at
tached to them and both were at
liberty 'o marry again. Their
own state denied them legal separa
tion excep* for extreme cause. Were
that law an absolute preventative of
divorce except for statutory ground
it would be an unquestionable ben
efit, but when it is evaded every day
by those with money enough "to get
out of town, Itsbeneficence is doubt
ful. The millionaire pair referred
to, saw their matrimonial bonds dis
solved as easily as mist before the
rising sun and all i* cost them was
a trip to Europe, retainers to Frenc"
lawyers and a few weeks' sojourn
in a foreign city.

Make The Stomach
Go Back To Work
Then i» the Whole System GUul.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets Will
Quickly Put the Stomach In ;
Shape.
When the stomach fails to do its
work properly the whole machine
of man is unstrung and wholly in
capable of work. This condition
obtains from the tiniest nerve to
the big strong -jumping heart.
It is a wise law of nature that
has made the stomach man's strong-'
est organ, but when It stops work
man ought to realize that it does so
because it can continue no louger.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will
certainly give the stomach the re
pair it needs arid is always crying
aloud for.
A tablet taken after each meal
will in the course of several hours
become a portion o' the digestive
fluids. It will build uu these fluids.
First in the stomach, then in
the intestines.
The liver is the storehouse of the
body. Here are assembled all the
reserve fluids of tht> syBtem and
here the various Ingredients of Dys
pepsia Tablets mingle with - the
faulty natural juices and strength
en them, or if they are too strong
then they will bo reduced to their
proper strength and proportion.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con
tain a single ingredient, one grain
of which is sufficient to digest
3,000 grains of food. Just think
how gratefully such an element is
received into a body that cannot
digest at all without a new weaken
ing of the already depleted juices.
Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this
very day and obtain a box of Purola
Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A
week's trial will make you a new
man and your stomach will go
back to work.
