The right remedy for the divorce
evil, according to writer In the
Arena, lies In the prevention Of un.
happy marriages. Certainly this Is
simple and direct-in theory. In prac.
tice 1t might be difficult. A rule and
compass method Of determining
whether parties are suitable to each
other will hardly give satisfaction.
Efforts have been made by several
States to legally restrain the physic.
ally and morally UNIT from marrying.
but that Is another matter. True.
there Is n sort OF immortality at the
basis Of most divorces. But 1t Is gen.
orally an immortality that lies deep In
the temperament and does not appear
on the surface until after marriage.
The Arena writer's remedy Is Ito place
barriers against easy matrimony and
make marriage bulwark Of sincere
and holy purpose. against which the
waves Of youthful impetuosity and
unripe affection will dash In vain. The
greatest social evil In our country IL
the marrying habit. There Is prac.
tically no check on marriage. and
young people wed Mt will and at times
in haste, with IN angry parent In pur-
suit" There Is no disputing that the
marrying habit has become serious
one. But 1t Is due less to brief nc.
Qualntance and hasty engagement than
TO a perverted public sentiment. So
long as popular opinion recognizes the
legal exchange Of wives and husbands
as respectable. the custom will con.
tInue to grow, despite any barriers that
may be devised. 1t IL not a matter
that can ever be reached by legal en-.
actment. No system can be devised
by which happy marriages can b'
OWNED In advance. All experience
shows that happy marriage is depend
ant not upon wisdom alone or the logi'
of outward conditions. The remed!
lies entirely In the education Of public
sentiment. When the moral STANDARD
of the general public Is raised to ,
higher and broader mental, moral ant
spiritual development. the hidden dis
orders that underlie this great evil viii
imperceptibly disappear and tn,
divorce question will settle itself

creasing demand for bottled ale aud
porter Of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bottling the

The frequent use Of adulterants and

suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of harmful or deleterl.

Our goods being manufactured from
