SHE Welded TOO SOON.
Divorced Wife of w. l.. SoweH Arrest
ell for Remarrying in Five Months.

Because Edith Sowell could not wait
the required six months after obtaining
a divorce before marrying her second
love, she was last night arrested on
a charge of bigaEy. She was divorced
from William L. Sowen in December
last year. In May, of this year, she
was married to James Carter.
The complaint was sworn to by the
voman's former husband. He declared
he had little or no objection to his
former wife's divorce proceedings, but
he was extremely peeved when she sud
denly transferred her affections to Car
ter.
Under the Kansas statutes, a di-
vorced person cannot remarry until six
months after the granting Of a decree.
In this case the Sowell woman might
have married Carter in June with per-
feet freedom and the assurance of no
interference on the part Of her former
husband But now the statute says
she is guilty of bigamy and viii be
prosecuted by the state.

Thousands OF Dollars to Protect
River Front Property.
Dixie is THE CAUSE.
Calls for Enormous Cost of
Sewer Pumping Plants.
Property Owners Make Demands
on City Commissioners.

A bomb has been dropped among
the plans of the city commissioners
for the 1912 budget. This bomb is in
the form of a demand from the prop
erty owners on the river front that
will cost the city thousands of dol
lars. The property owners have re-
queSted that the city install and main
tain a pumping station with flood
gates at the outlet of every sewer IN
the new south dixie district.
1t is claimed by the property own
ers that unless the city constructs
these flood gate stations on the Kaw
river, every time the river rises the
water will back up into the sewers
and do incalculable damage adjoining
lands and property And it is stated
that the damage will recur in success
sive flood periods.
1t is brought out in their warning
to the city board of commissioners
that under the general statutes OF
1909 it is the duty of the city to build
these pumping stations whenever the
drainage district includes territory
that comprises property that is a part
of the city.
build these stations it is shown that
the city at large will be liable for all
damages to the property in the district.

HEALTH
AND BEAUTY.

Great care should be given to the
selection of powders or pastes used
for cleansing the teeth. In view of
the fate that a woman's beauty may
be married, If not made, by her teeth,
it is wise to pay attention to what
ever is applied to them. There are
many cleansing agents in which cut
fetish bone, ground, is apart. Used
once a week, this would be harmless,
but there is sufficient roughness in the
material to wear the enamel If the
former is appls>d every day. Be 1t
understood that once the enamel, which
is a thin shell covering the tooth
structure, and not the tooth itself, is
injured. cracked or worn, trouble is
bound to ensue. The tooth beneath
the enamel is spongy, absorbing all
liquids and crumbling to pain and de-
struction.
1t is an excellent habit to have fling
er nails polished, neatly shaped and
trimmed, but a buffer may be used
too much, and when a woman does
this she will have difficulty in getting
her finger tips into condition again.
For the nails become as thin as tbs
sue paper and break as soon as they
grow above the quick. There is moth
ing then but to cut them until
they grow strong enough to stand
alone, as it were. To clip, use scis-
sors, or clippers. rather than a file
for the action Of the former is coarsen-
ing, and, therefore, more rapidly will
cause thickening. Until the nail has
returned to its normal state to polish
the worst treatment. Buff1ng will
however, counterfeit any cure which
may be employed. 1t is a mistake to
have too high a polish on nails, both
because 1t is bad form and means toe
frequetn use of a buffer. Whenever
powder is applied grease must be put
on at the same time, and always al
night the finger tips should be greas-
ed If the integrity Of the nails is tc
be preserved. Such applications also
serve to keep the cuticle soft and
smooth.

unwise If she allows him to usurp her

to give an effect of beauty unadorned
