cAMPHoR AS A FAMILY FRIEND.
Valuable Medicine, and Useful In
Many Other Ways.

Few people realize the valuable ad-
junct camphor is in the household.
They use it as a moth preventive,
when they do not growl about the
cost and substitute tar ball, but be-
yond that give it little thought.
Yet camphor is valuable in many
ways as cleanser, and insect chaser
and as medicine.
The darkest stain on mirror or win.
dow pane can generally be routed with
a flannel dipped in spirits of camphor.
Rub until dry.
Camphor, either in the lump or the
liquid form, is hated by mosquitoes
snd will keep them off when all other
methods fail.
AS a medicine it is invaluable II
used judiciously. If six or ten drops
are taken on lump of sugar when
sneezing starts, a bad cold in the
head can often be checked. This dose
should not be repeated closer than an
hour apart.
1t is important in taking camphor in.
ternally to be sure that it agrees with
you; the mildest dose is harmful to
certain people and occasionally a per.
son is found whom it throws into un.
consciousness.
If taken too steadily, even when
there seems to be no injurious effect,
1t lowers the circulation and eventual.
ly weakens the heart.
A few drops of liquid camphor will
often stop nausea, while setting fire
to the Jumps and inhaling the fumes
sometimes works similar cure.
For cold sores a small phial of cam
phor should be carried in the pocket
and rubbed on the lips at frequent
intervals. If taken in time it will
usually back the blisters.

w ASHINGTON.-It was generally
w known that divorces in the
United States were getting more
numerous each year, but nobody was
prepared for the surprising statement
made in census bureau report that
one marriage out of every twelve in
the country terminates in divorce.
Yet such is the case, as shown by the
bureaus figures.
The statistics are the result of care
full gathering of figures in every state
in the union, the period covered being
from 1887 to 1906. The last set of
national statistics on marriage and
divorce covered the period from 1867
to 1886. The present set of statistics,
taken in conjunction with the former
one, therefore, gives a view of the
marriage and divorce question for the
past 40 years.
The total number of marriages re-
corded for the 20-year period from
1887 to 1906 was 12,S32,044. The total
number of divorces for the period was
945,625.
TOT tne perlou Oh tne HrSC lnVeStsa-
tion of the subject, from 1867 to 1886,
the total number of divorces was $685.
716. At the beginning of the 40-year
period covered by both investigations
there were in this country 10000 di-
vorces annually; at the end of the
period there were $4,000 annually.
The divorce rate per 100000 popula-
tion increased from 20 in 1897 to 50
in 1905. The rate per 100, 900 married
