DIVORCES Rum in the Familx

A story comes from Anderson, Ind, that
the unusual spectacle Of mother and
daughter both appearing at court the
same day asking FOR divorces was pre-
sented in tie superior court there few
days ago. Both were granted the de-
crees. The mother was Mrs. Ella Barton,
and she harSesiintoxication. The daughter
was Mrs. Minnie Stanley, and her Charge
was cruelty. Recently, In the same county,
the filing Of suit for divorce revealed a
more remarkable cause than this. It WIS
found that the applicants two sisters hi /
been divorced; that her mother had been
divorced three times; two aunts Tad
been grunted two DEGREES, and the grand
mother had also good divorce record.

tried to she'i some light upon the life Of
rather dubious, though amusing speci-
men-a girl whom she wrongfully nistook
to be in the A-B-C period. How to appeal
to this benigited little specimen gave her
s.,me worry, but at last she decided to
dilate upon the. word lady" its beau
ties, all II meant, and, best of all, the fact
that it was quality of heart and head
within thu reach of all. After some very
pretty talk, she asked Miss Sums: Now,
how would You set about being lady?"
and was electrified at her calm, prompt
response: Marry a lord"

GRATIFYING RESULTS.
Interesting Experiments With the
New Stomach Remedy.
Not IA Patent Medicine, But a safe
Cure for All Forms of In.


The results OF recent investigation have
established, beyond question, the great
value OF the new preparation for indiges-
tion and stomach troubles: it is composed
of the digestive acids, pepsin, bismuth,
Golden Seal, a nd similar stomachics, pre.
pared in the form Of 20 grain lozeuSes,
pleasant to the taste, convenient to carry
when travelling, harmless to the most dell
cate stomach, ard probably the safest,
most effeetual cure yet discovered for tn
digestion, Sour stomach, loss of appetite
and flesh, nausea, sick heada ches, pal ii.
tation OF feart, and the many symp-
toms arising from imperfect digestion of
food. They cure because they cause the
food to be promptly and thoroughly d.
gested before 1t has time to sour, fer n mt
and poison the blood and nervous system.

Of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured Of
