The Doctor Away from Home whel
Most Needed.

People are often very much dis
appointed to find their family physician
is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proven fatal before medicine
could bs procured or physician sum
moned. The right way is to keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribs "a better medicine for
these diseases. BY shaving it in the

cussion OF this subject, there Is a we'll
founded belief that a part of this increase
in divorces, attended with special evils and
scandals, Is due to the lack of divorce
law uniform throughout the nation"
Remedy Lies in State Laws.
The power TO adopt such a uniform law,
in the opinion Of the congress- has not
been committed to the federal government
and must be obtained through the medium
of the state legislatures. After quoting
from President Roosevelts message and
discussing the preliminary matters taken
up by the congress, the address continues:
The divorce congress did not deem it
advisable to attempt TO regulate the mere
details of procedure in divorce actions,
and with a few exceptions such details
were not embraced either in the resolutions
or the uniform divorce law. Two Of these
exceptions and the principal ones relate
TO the open public hearings and to publicity
OF records in divorce cases Objection has
been made to these provisions, on the
ground of supposed injury 20 public morals,
but after full consideration of the practice
prevailing in the different states, the con-
gress concluded almost unanimously that
the advantages of a public and open hear
ing outweighed any Of the dangers sug
gested, and that in the public interest such
hearings were necessary IN most OF the
states, I'm order to prevent a lax admins
tration of the divorce laws.
The principal subjects covered by the
resolutions and the uniform divorce act
relate to the important matters of: a.
the causes Of annulment and divorce; (2)
the establishment of two kinds of divorce
limited as well as absolute, In those states
where the former does not exist; C3) the
adoption OF a uniform rule governing the
acquiring OF Jurisdiction in divorce actions

subject. 90 the adoption Of a uniform rule

AnnuIment of Marriages.
The causes for annument OF marriages
/ as distinct from the causes for divorce
recommended by the congress and now
recognized by some of the states are as
| follows: Impotency not known at time
OF marriage; consanguinity and affinity
| within prohibited degrees; existing mar
| riage; fraud, force or coercion and in
/ sanity not known TO the injured party at
/ the time Of the marriage. In the last
| two causes the marriage, II confirmed, by

or bigamy, unless one of the parties has

States.

, Congress and the legislatures OF the diff

coming year to revise laws on the subject
of divorce IN a general campaign for uni
formlty In such legislation. The model for
all OF the proposed changes will be taken
from form compiled by the National

has resulted In a widespread movement for
