EAT MORE CANDY.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson says Sugar i
Important Food.

"Give children plenty of pure
sugar taffy and butterscotch and
they'll have little need Of cod liver
OIL" says DR.. Wood Hutchinson.
"In short, sugar Is, after meat
bread and butter, easily our next most
important and necessary food. You
can put the matter to a test very
easily. Just leave off the pie. pud-
ding or other desserts at your lunch
or midday dinner, Youll feel empty
again, and how unfinished the meal
will seem. You cans get any work
ing man to accept dinner pail with
out pie in it. And he's absolutely
right. The only thing that can take
the place Of sugar here Is beer or
wine. II is significant that the free
lunch counters run in connection with
bars furnish every imaginable thing
except sweets. Even the restaurants
and lunch grills attached to saloons
or bars often refuse to serve desserts
of any sort. They know their busi-
ness. The more sugar and sweets a
man takes at meal the less alcohol
he wants Conversely, nearly every
drinking man will tell you he has lost
his taste for sweets. The more can
dy a nation consumes, the less alco-
hol.
The United states government buys

MARRIAGE TIES
TOO EASILY CUT
WASHINGTON JUDGE WOULD
GIVE WEDLOCK FAIR CHANCE.
Judge Fratcr Will Present New Law
TO Legislature in an Attempt TO
Curb Present Divorce EViI-Would
Prevent Hasty Marriage by Rcquir-
ing Parties TO Live Together a Year
Before Asking for Separation.

Judge Frater of the King county
superior court, is preparing bill
which the next legislature will be ask
cd to pass, that is intended to curtail
the divorce evil in Washington, says
a Seattle dispatch. In Judge Frater's
opinion divorces are too easily OBJ
tained and the state is becoming the
divorce clearing house for British Co.
lumbia. Judge Frater says:
IN the draft of the divorce law
that | am now working on will be a
provision requiring that citizens of
this country only may apply for di-
vorces. Many British Columbia peo-
pie come here and rent a room. es-
tablish only nominally a years resi-
dence and procure DEGREES
There will also be a provision to
the effect that persons cannot apply
for divorce in less than one year after
marriage. Let them give marriage a
fair trial before they throw II off.
Then ! am satisfied that a provision
for taking the evidence in shorthand
and making it a part of the record
in default cases would prevent a great
deal Of the perjured testimony that
courts are now compelled to listen to.
\ stringent provision for perjury in
such cases would also help matters
would also require all summonses
Limit Courts Power.
II believe the courts should have
less discretion in granting DEGREES. 1t
is sufficient now that the court be
satisfied that the people can no lon
ger live together too broad a provision
ana leaves it entirely with the court.
| would have the law state specific
ally what causes may be regarded as
sufficient for the granting of decree.
The court should also have the power
To fix the limit of time after decree
IS granted when the parties may re-
marry a third person the period not
10 be less than one year. | would
also have a heavy penalty fixed for
the infraction of the decree in this
PARTICULAR, such infraction to be
deemed misdemeanor, punishable
by a fine Of from 500 to $4,000, or
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not less than one year, or both.
"T am not opposed to divorce. There
are cases where it IS a real relief. I
think it would be a good plan to
place a check on indiscriminate mar
riages by requiring persons applying
for marriage licenses to furnish bet
ter evidence Of their legal right to
marry, ana specifically designate it
perjury to make a false affidavit as
to the age of any party applying for
license under the age Of consent"

THE CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding the Preven-
tion of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly for

and pneumonia might be avoided
These troubles are simply the result
| of weakness, which produces a ca
tarrhal condition Of the mucous men,

Of the body. When this skin is
weakened, II becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These parasites
attack and break these delicate tis-
sues and set up soreness which pro-
duce what Is in reality an external
scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
a medication which is absorbed and
carried by the blood so that the dis
eased membrane is dislnfected, clean
ed, soothed and healed.
We have a remedy which we hon

HOW TO OBTAIN FRESH
WATER FROM SEA WATER.

\ common method of getting salt
from sea water is to place the liquid
i'm shallow watts. and expose it to the
sun until the water is eVaporated,
Someone has suggested that the same
process of separation be used to get
fresh water out Of the sea water.
Cover the vat with a pane of glass
which is tilted slightly. The radient
heat of the sun. passing through tho
glass will evaporate the water and
the vapor condensing on the under
side of the glass will run down the
inclined surface and drip into a
trough. \ receptacle at one side will
catch the fresh water that flows from
the trough.
The condensation may be eXpedit-
ed by pouring water over the glass
The glass will thus he chilled without
interfering with the passage of the
suns rays into the vat.--Scientific
