New York has made by-word Of
the assertion OF DR.. Wiley OF pure
food fame that bad bread is res,,on.
siblc Tor more divorces than any 9TH
er single cause. Queries Of "How's
wiie's bread" are common salu-
tation in the resorts along the Great
White Way. Those who treat the
subject seriously assert that the go,.
ernment scientist made a bad guess.
David Graham Phillips, the novelist,
wo is regarded as something Of an ex-
pert on this subject since his exposure
of the inside workings OF the divorce
microbe in his latest story "Old Wives
for New" insists that bad cooking
ranks no higher than sixth in the eau
ses OF divorce in New York. AS a
result of his Investigations he places
the most common reasons for the rup-
ture Of martial ties in this order Ex-
travagances and wastefulness, Clubs,
Drink, Too much mother-in- Law,
Bridge Whist, Bad Bread.
Bridge whist by the way is becom-
ing more and more common cause
for divorce since it is stated that one
business failure out of every seven
teen in New York is caused by the
gambling propensities of wives and
their inability to win. Whatever it
may think Of its own shortcomings in
this respect, New York is certain that
such commonplace cause as that ad-
vanced by DR.. Wiley-that is bad
bread is entirely without the pale of
its consideration.

According to the views held on the
Bowery no funnier statement was ev-
er put forward than that recently
made by City Physician Gerbert to the
effect that six beers day are too
much for any man. The Bowery, be-
ing TIRE center of the beer belt, natur-
ally takes an acute interest in the
question, but that any man should
hold six beers the limit is entirely be-
yond the comprehension Of its lea l.,
ing citizens. One of the most pro-
minent of the Boweryites, Mr., "Suds"
MacFee, known for his temperance on
all subjects, has come to the support
OF Mr., Gerbert, in that he believes in
a limit to beer which can safely be
consumed by thirsty individuals. On
the amount however, he and DR., Ger
bert differ widely, for "Suds" would
make TIE limit thirty glasses day.

PASSA|C RIVER

Smells So Strong Residents Are
Kept Awake at Night,
They Say.

Stencil, unbearable and disease
laden, has been raising like death
fumes from the fetid waters of the
Passaic2 river in this city for the
last few days, and residents within
half a mile of it's banks are protest
ing strenuously against h terrible
odors. Some residents near the river
have been forced to o away.
The dredging at the jackson street
bridge has stirred up the accumulated
filth of years, the legacy from other
cities which have made the once beau
tiful river a sewer and Newark the
sufferer.
Property has deprecated in value, in
some cases 20 per cent, and while no
formal protest has been made to the
Board of Health, hundreds of prop
erty owners will, if the pollution and
stencil continues, appear before the
State Board of Health and point out
that while the municipalities are fight
ing Paterson in the courts to prevent
the pollution of the river, pestilence is
threatening this city because of the
criminal action of the Silk City and
other adjoining municipalities in using
the river as a sewer.

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a

in whom she may conhde, a nan friend
or relative. If he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth of
a woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal af-
Fiction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural re-
pugnance which comes to man when
he is in company with such "a woman.
What is true of bad breath In woman
Is not true in 60 great a degree IN men.
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation Of sweetness, breeding. virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will lick

such Il woman a compromising neces
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
