 Where the Divorce Evil Has Its
 Origin.
 Galveston News. The divorce evil has grown 90 general in almost all the States that 1t Is the one subject of eloquent eondemnanon ps pn,. a. nit, press and people, Every enect nas its cause er causes. What are the causes of domestic infeiicity which have led 70 such remarkable increases in the numper of applications for separattonf Stuoents of sociology and of various religious prop- leins have been tor many years casting about for adequate reasons for the pres ent divorce evil and for the domestic iii- felicities that characterize iso many American homes. They need not worry and fret over the problem any longer. The reason lies in eggs, just plain. white little eggs, laid by that thrifty. unassumi.. ing barnyard fowl known as the hen, says The Memphis scimitar. The seimi- tar adds:
 ''rhe great discovery was made by Mrs, Sarah Rorer, she who makes cook books for the thousands of American house. wives who are anxious to improve on the  ing their families. Mrs. Rorer has been convinced that, while eggs are palatable and nutritious. because they are an easy thing to cook, the housewife who does not wart to be bothered either in preparv ing tho food herself or In suggesting something for her servants will make eggs the principal dish of nearly every meal. If fewer women ate eggs for breakfast Mrs. Rorer tells us, "homes would be h,,Ul Aa rxun,, t,n hatfar satisfied with their heipmeets. and their .quarrels would be recited less frequently in the courts of the land" This she be- lieves to be true because eggs are a heavy food, anu when eaten too often bring about a general feeling of iazinsss and tendency toward dyspepsia. By some peculiar process of digestion, or in digestion, iaziness is the result of the woman's eating eggs. and indigestion the result of mans eating. Even one egg 9 day, the authority on cooking says, Is too much for anybody. though the method of cooking be varied. She recommends many of the new breakfast foods. the predigest- ed kind where the average human need not bother at all about having the usual organs of digestion to do the work for him."
 It is at least conceivable that even too many eggs for breakfast might in one
 
 iicity and to the divorce court, but ell the causes to this sad and common end are not laid down In the cook books. It Is worth while for those who see tho evil and danger of the divorce habit to smile at the egg joke and then proceed most seriously to consider of the real causes of domestic lnfeiicity which leads so straight to the court house.
 Of course. there are today, as there ho al oI In vrhfNh divorces should be granted. There are scores of good women and men living with unworthy, worthless, vicious and un- endurable mates who should have their liberty. some of whom have never even applied for divorcea While this Is true. while 1t is not deemed wise or even just to attempt to defeat or discourage any deserving applicant for such relief. 1t can be set down very safely that the great majority of the applications are based upon trivial grounds and come of worth lessness that is mutual, hopeless on both sides.
 Most dIvoEces are results of bad rais- ing. They can be traced right back to the looseness, neglect and over-indul- gence of a poorly kept home. Not neces- sarlly the new home of the parties to tho suit. but, all too often, to the home la which one or both of said parties were
 
 brought up as pampered pets, indulged. spared and spoiled. until they are who'll ly unfitted for any of the hardships of life. A girl who has never learned any ghing about household duties or domes- tic economy, who has been taught to spend more than she can, get. and train ed to keep up at all hazards in the ex- travagance of the time, maFries a young man who has never denied himself even nd Vvhn to Y1IIff f0 if mn fn the day of the wedding. to pay his own expenses-with his boarding given him without cost-and these two proceed to open up nicely furnished home, to keep it going while they keep going them selves on the low and uncertain salary of the head of the new house. If these two young people fail to pay their bills and be happy or even land in the divorce court rather than darn socks and saw wood. whose fault is 1t? Is the pitiful shortage and failure all chargeahle to them? Are not the parents or their grand parents. who were trained otherwise, largely responsible for the mess that has been made? Of course, society" as 1t is called, @ social condition too often based upon shallow show and vulgar pre- tense, has to do with 1t: but the main duty of the parent is to so train and teach the son or the daughter that he 0I 6AAC may DC 0hAy WaAACA N6dAAlDt CONL- ly and worthless frivolities and saved by proper equipment from the fate of q thousand fools.
 Of course, there are instances in which the parties to divorce suits have not been brought up as spoiled family pets; but even in such instances the extravaganza. incidence and worthlesaness of at least one of the parties Is traceable to pre- vailing influences of the community, which are, at least, the prevailing in- fluences of the homes of that commun- ity.
 The divorce evil Is traceable largely to the home training of the boys and girls. In hundreds of instances such training is a curse rather than Q blessing to the boy or the girl thus united for any test of self-denial. any degree of patience or self-reliance. any kind of care or hard work, anything like economy or provi- dence any of the disappointments. sac rifces and hardships of which life is so largely made up. Who can feel astonish- ed over the results. The surprising fact is that so many miS-raised young people of this age and country succeed as well as they do under the exacting demands and duties of life as 1t is lived in this
