Spring Medicine

There is no other season when good
medicine is so much needed as in the
Spring.

There is to be a shortage of the ma
PIE sugar crop this year, according to
reports from Vermont But that will
not bother consumers a bit. There
will be just as much maple sugar" in

so much for maple syrup now as they
used to before the advent of Georgia
cane syrup, which is a more tasty and
nutritious as well as cheaper article.

DIVORCE LAWS 2
In France the Innocent Party May lie
cover All the Presents He or
She Has Given.

There are many curious and inter
esting facts regarding the marriage
and divorce laws Of foreign countries,
dianapolis News, recently returned
from q trip abroad, where he made q
study OF Che question.
Breaches of promise are averted in
Hungary by an express declaration o.
the civil marriage act C1S95) that the
relations created by a betrothal do not
give the right to command the con-
2lusion of a marriage, but il either
party withdraws from an engagement!
without just reasons he or she il
bound to grant compensation to the
extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce
Il the English sense does not exist
)ut the ioUrts can decree the personal
;|ep2ration Of Q married couple with
jut dissolvin3 the bonds of matrimony.
"A curious law prevailing in Franco
provides that, before being married
children of q family, although owe,
lge, shall seek in respectful and forma.
.erms the advice Of their father and
mother. 1t makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent of parents is
Given, for the couple can be married a
month after under any circumstances
This is also the case in the Neither
lands.
IN divorce further entities the in
nocene party to recover all the pres.
cnts he or she may have made.
According L the constitution of the
Netherlands, the civil marriage must
always precede the religious ceremony.
rhe latter, indeed, is left entirely to
The conscience Of the parties concerned.
There is also a law providing that no
man or under 80 can marry
without The consent Of parents. II the
consent be refused the couple have to
appear beivre a judge, who advises
them as ne thinks best.
Many countries have abolished
all marriage fees. This is the case in
Norway, while in the Netherlands Ger
tain days in the week are set apart
when persons may be married without
payment T.
