wichita. kan, Oct. e.=When A. J.
Smith, IS years old, left his family in

smith was working when the sherlf

glad to see someone from nome put
he was surprised BY what followed
Mr.. Sheriff clapped his hands on
Smiths shoulder and pronounced him
under arrest for wife desertion. Now
smith had been puzzled near to de-
straction by the failure of his WIFE TO
answer his letters and this was the
limit. He objected. But Mr.. Sheriff
is a large man, therefore Smith went
to Dodge City. Explanations ensued
upon their arrival there and again
smith is free and his home happy.
smith sent his wife a letter contain
ing money and instructions to come on
to wichita. His wife was i'll and could
not come She wrote of her predica-
ment by return mail and asked Smith
to return until she recovered. No an
swer from Smith. She wrote again.
Repeated silence from Wichita. The
wife became frantic and the county
attorney was called in on consultation.
A warrant for desertion was proposed
and the sherif's trip 70 Wichita re-

OUR NEW DIVORCE LAW.
C. S. Crawford of Abilene Tells of the
Recent Changes.


To the Editor of the State Journal:
l have just read, with a degree of
interest, the article in your issue OF
today relative to suits for divorce in
which the writer shows how easily
and quickly one may now be obtained
in this state.
Prior to 1909 the statute provided
that the plaintiff in an action for
divorce must have been an actual resi-
dent in good faith of the state for one
year next preceding the filing of the
petition, and a resident of the county
in which the action is brought at the
time the petition is filed" To this
sentence the legislature of 1909 add
ed these words: Unless the action is
brought in the county where the de
fendant resides or may be summoned"
These words have added new mean
ing to the old law, but just what they
mean is matter for the courts to de-
termine. The communication above
referred to CONSTITUTES them to mean
that when a married couple mutually
gree to separate all that is necessary
the state and have a summons served
upon him and the action could then
proceed to decree without regard to
the question Of residence of either
party.
Parties attempting this will be dis
appointed if they start such cases in
the Eighth judicial district. at least
while r. L. King is the judge Last
August a woman living in Nebraska
brought suit in Dickinson county

Do not delude yourself with the idea

pies. sallowness. tan, freclCles, liver

Just get an ounce and a half Of pure
coleated balsam from your druggist

against her husband for a divorce al
leging extreme cruelty and gross neg
lect of duty. The evidence disclosed
that the plaintiff had not been a resi-
dent of the state for one year and was
not resident of the county at the
time the action was begun. The de-
cree was denied her solely on this
ground. The court held that the pro-
visions of the new statute were in
tended to apply only to one who has
been a resident of the state for one
year, under which circumstances the
action might be brought either in the
county of the residence of the plain
tiff or in the county where tina de-
PENDANT might be found; the court OBJ
serving that any other construction
would lead to a flood of divorce cases,
Which appears to be what has hap
pened at Independence. The plain
tiff in this case has appealed to the
supreme court When that tribunal
has passed upon the statute we will
know whether Kansas is to become the
Mecca for the disappointed spouse or
whether he will still be obliged to
tarry with us for at least year be-
fore obtaining a divorce. This law
is but another example of i'll consId-
cred and loosely drawn statutes.
A large per cent of the divorces are
the result of hasty and ill-advised
marriages. We should have a law
that persons desiring to marry should
be required to declare and publish
their intention for fixed time before
the marriage. This would give the
lovesick pair opportunity to re-
fleet; indeed, they would be very apt
to reflect before publishing their in
tention.
Then we should have a law making
it the duty of the county attorney
appear for the defendant in all de-
fault cases in order to prevent impo-
sition on the court by collision be-
tween the parties. It is well known
hot Il l.,
granted by default in which plaintiffs
were not entitled to relief by reason
of their own fault.
The divorce evil is growing and
pernicious, one and steps should be
taken to control and reduce it.

Home r .medy for Double
Chin and Wrinkles.
ladies Home Journal)

Whether openly. or down deep in
her heart. every woman derlores the
coming of wrinkles. crows feet and
a double chin, as well as enlarged
pores. The wise woman doesn't at
tempt to patch up her face with patent
creams, lotions, cosmetics, etc. She
realizes these are only temporary aids
to her appearance. If every woman
knew that she could go to her druggist
and get an ounce and half of old
fashioned thermodized jelly. and by
rubbing half a teaspoonful into her
face daily she could rid herself of her
wrinkles or ..crow's feet" her double
chin or her blackheads very quickly
why-the answer is. there would be
fewer women wearing wrinkles and
the other things above mentioned, and
incidentally-she would learn that the
real trouble lay not with the outer
cuticle, but the fibrous tissue under
meath. This needs heat-giving nourish-
nent, and thermodized jelly will sup
ply it as nothing else will.
