EARLY DINNER is DEcREED.
King Edward Caus.s Change IN Lon
don Society.

London.-A momentous change has
been decreed in the habits of Lon.
don society. initiated by the king.
His majesty disapproved of the
tendency to make the dinner hour
later and later. and has decreed that
hereafter the fashionable dinner hour
shall be from half past six to half
past seven.
Before this change was instituted
society dined from eight to nine. The
new dinner hour. which Is a return
to earlier manners. is welcomed by
everybody. 1t will benefit the thea.
ters. which have lost many patrons
through the late dinner hour. and it
will also send more persons to the
restaurants for supper.
Persons who dined at eight o'clock
were not always inclined for supper
afterward. and could not reach the
theater before the middle Of the per,
formance.

PECULIAR CASE is DECIDED.
Bigamist's First Wife Gets Half OF
Estate and Second Nothing.

Wichita. Kan.-Federal Judge Pol
lock has rendered decision in an
unusual case that came up from
Comanche county. 1t was the result
OF bigamous marriage by James Nc
Laughlin.
Mclaughlin was an old soldier who
deserted his wife in Pennsylvania.
and. coming to Kansas with young
woman named Annie Scott. married
her and lived with her 80 years, raising
eight children. Upon his death the
second wife. who says she knew moth.
ing of his previous marriage. applied
for a pension, and this led to the dis
covery of wife No. !.
The court decided that the Penn
sylvania wife was entitled to half the
estate and that McLaughlin's children
by his second wife were entitled tc
the other half, while the second wife
was entitled to nothing. though it was
largely through her efforts that the
property was accumulated.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderfui Re.
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. did not
take much notice OF it at first. but it
began to get worse all the time. and
then | began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that We're recommended for skin hum.
ors: but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, Just as soon as l would get
IN bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated. and 1t
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body: and
kept getting better. and by the time
used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured. and my hair stopped
falling out. D. f. Blankenship. 319

At THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience Of Winston Churchill Fa-
miliar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, lis state fitted
above all others for summer resort.
New Hampshire, with its superb eli
mate. its mountains. its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park. dotted with beautiful villas. to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts Of America.
In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum
mer visitors. Some OF them. too. are
taking boarders.
And | am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in position to
take boarders. because, unlike the
farmers in other states that | could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched-canned vegetables, con.
densed milk and so on.
by Jove.' l said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those get in New York.
My farmer host snortcd.
That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill,' he said. It's
from New York that all our eggs
come"

been dedicated to the cause of labor
with solemn ceremony.
The dedication took place at st.
James Methodist church with the

sort of collective godfather. Trades
unionists filed the pews and the Rev.
d. G. Millner officiated as the repre-
sentative of the church and labor,
while E. r. Wright. president of Typo
graphical Union No. 16, assisted and
the Rev. William A. Quayle, pastor OF
the church made the address of well
come. l.. P. Strauble secretary of the
Allied Printing Trades Council. ac-
cepted the child on behalf of labor as
a future champion of the cause.
Creel and his wife both expressed
their desire that the boy shall become
an unselfish man. giving his life to
others. They declared that in their
opinion organized labor was the cause
which realized the best ideals of help
to humanity.
The dedicating of the child. they
said. was merely the expression OF
desire which all true mothers and
fathers must feel in regard to their
children. The idea came to Creel be-
cause of his many years connection
with labor organizations and publi-
cations
