Uncle Sam and His Divorces.

Almost every twelfth marriage in
this country ends in a divorce. About
two-thirds Of the divorces are granted
to the wife. Thirty-nine per cent. of
divorces are due to desertion. The
marriage rate in southern states Is
larger than in the north. America
with the single exception of Japan
leads the world in the number of d.
vorces. The divorce rate is three times
as large as it was in 1870. Of the d.
vorce cases that come up only Is per
cent. are contested, and rs per cent. of
the divorce applications are granted.
Uncle Sam not only has a high divorce
rate, but has the highest marriage rate
on earth, his only rivals In the latter
line being Hungary, west Australia
and Saxony. Ireland has the lowest
marriage rate and Sweden the next
lowest.

while pronouncing the sounds, she
vigorously tapped her own rotund
chest with her plump forefinger
"Mmum, ee. What letters am l say

asked, still vigorously tapping her

Gormly had not intended to speak;
but the opportunity was too good to be
lost. AS he descended the steps, the
cheering changed into demand for
speech from him. No hustings had
been prepared, but by the curbstone
stood a big, high-powered automobile.
It was filled with people. Livingstone
Haldane sat in the chauffeur's seat.
The place beside him was vacant
"Up here, Mr.. Gormly!" he cried,
pointing. Without observing who was
In the tonneau, Gormly clambered up
to the seat and stood on it. He was
thus lifted sufficiently high above the
crowd.

cheering subsidized and the multitude

There was an instant response to

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had it about six months when
friend told me about Cuticura. / sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head / don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
