Much violent dcrogation has been
hcapcd upon the so-called divorce bill,
but no derogator has gotten ahead of
the Alexandria Gazette, which discovers
that the proposed amendment would
make divorce in Virginia as easy as
1t is In South Dakota" and turn the
state into wide-opcn divorce resort,
as we'll as practically put premium
on marital unfaithfulness. Even more
savage are tho Gazette's remarks about
our honorable Senate, which passed
the bill and to which our Alexandria
contemporary extends the following
fierce alternative. 1T Is said, IN eX-
cuse that the bill was passed without
the Senator'S knowing its full purport-

to catch the "full import of the bill" be
as possible in the case of the Gazette
as of the Senate? If the bill really
turned Virginia into a "wide-open d.
vorce resort South Dakota style.
there is not reputable man or news

Washington, d. C.-That 10 per
cent of the retail druggists of the
United States conduct an unlawful
traffic in opium and other illicit
drugs was the statement made today
by DR.. Christopher Koch of Philadel-
phia before the House ways and
means committee. Doctor Koch is
vi%ce-president of the Pennsylvania
Board Of Pharmacy and has appear
ed before the committee to urge leg
islation to stop the growing traffic
in opium and cocaine in this coun-
try. The committee vas an inter
ested audience while the doctor e
hibited an opium Layout" and hypo-
dermic needles for injecting other
drugs.
Conditions in China at no time
were worse than they are in many
cities of the United States" Doctor
Koch declared. women and girls
of good families have found it but a
step from the hi.hball to the opium
den. The habit also is extending to
the Observation-Disclosures lawyers
physicians and trained nurses"
Doctor Koch charged that a drug
inspector in the federal civil service
had been indicted in Philadelphia for
selling opium. This official, he said.
"a still employed by the govern
ment, while the business of supply
ing illicit drugs to un%fortunates is
going on unchecked in that city.
THE cocaine habit has come to be
a distinctly American vice." he said,
1.-THE drug store has become the
agency for the distribution of this
drug to negroes who form a large
criminal class in u cities. A ma.
jority of the criminal assault case
in the police records can be traced to
the use Of this drug"
He added that 35 per cent of the
Chinese in the United States smoke
opium.

FOR HOOS1ER GIRLS
REPUBLICAN is ACTING As IN
TERMEDIARY BETWEEN
HOOSlER GIRLS AND
NORTHWEST SWANS.

Advertising in The Republican
pays. There Is no question about
that, and it has been aptly demon
strated in the Ease of the youne
Hoosier girls from kokomo, Ind.
whose letter OF appeal for hus-
bands vas published in these col
umns a few days ago. As soon
as the Information reached out over
the country the answers commenced
to come In.
One answer was received the Sec
ond day after publication for a party
in this city. who desired to have his
letter forwarded to the aspiring
young ladies in Indinia, closing his
letter with the request that sit be
not opened in this office" 1t is
needless to say that his request was
obeyed and his letter was forwarded
to the proper address at Kokomo,
Ind. So If 1t is seer that some Nit
chell young man goes down to- Ko-
komo for a bride it will be known
how he secured her. Another Nit
chell young man responded to the
appeal Of the Hoosier girls and yes
terday a letter was received from a
party at Lane, who stands ready and
willing to provide a home for one OF
those Hoosier girls.
The Republican is getting inter-
ested in this match making busi--
ness and the paper stands ready to
contribute Of its resources to bring
about a successful termination OF
what has been undertaken by the
fearless and ambitious young wo-
men of Indiana.

members, a number of couples being

ing on in society and public enter
tainments. The evening. however,
was filled with enjoyment. Dancing
was INDUCED beneath the soft rays
of candles and kerosene lamps, ow-
ing to the light service being out OF
commission for a portion OF the ev-
ening. After the holidays are over
the Omegas plan to make the parties
go with greater popularity when
there is not so much to occupy the at
tention of the dancers. The music
for the evening was furnished by the
Koolish-Smith orchestra, and 1t gave
splendid satisfaction to all the dane
ers.
WITH WEDNESDAY CLUB.
The Wednesday Club met with
Mrs. Robert Ward, 222 Fourth ave-
nue. west, Wednesday afternoon. The
ladies brought their fancy work with
them, as is their custom, and they
improved the hours with profit at
this season, when there is so much to
be done before Christmas. There is
a birthday feature with the club, and
as this occasion with the birthday of
Mrs. Ward the members presented
her with two silver forks, which the
hostess accepted graciously and with
kindly expression of thanks. Re-
freshments that were delightful
were served later in the afternoon.
Miss Mary Louise Burns, who is
attending a college in Minneapolis,
arrived home this morning to spend
the holiday vacation.
Mrs. E. NJ. Jelfers and the children
departed this morning for Webster
City, Iowa, where they will remain
with Mrs. Jeffers' people until Mr..
Jeffers arranges for a location in the
future. His resignation as pastor of
the Baptist church takes effect with
the close of the year, and he expects
to leave the city shortly after that
period.

ON DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

Monday evening when the Art
Club met at the home of Mrs.
George G.. Kimball. orner of Ed
munds and Fifth Avenue west, the
time was devoted to a study and dem
o%nstration OF Domestic Science"
which was the subject lesson for the
evening. During the program Of the
year. one meeting each month is set
aside from the regular work of Eng
fish literature to the study of the va
rious phases of home economics. On
this occasion the study was devoted
to simplicity in Cooking" which the
hostess handled In a very capable
and acceptable manner. Mrs. KIM
ball served a two course buffet lunch
son in the way Of demonstration.
For this study the chatting dish and
the hreless cooker occupied the at
tention Of the members, and what
could be done with these two house
hold necessities was amply demon
strated by the hostess when she
served her refreshments. With the
~fireless cooker the housewife is en-
abled to rave Q vast amount of time
in the morning hours, and really can
prepare a very respectable meal with
little effort on her part and by the
saving Of much time. The entire ev-
evening was most happily and profit
ably spent.
