IS KISSING
AN EXCUSE
Special to the Appeal)

NEW YORK, May 26.-Justice
Maddox. of the Supreme Court will
tomorrow hand down a decision in
volving the right of a married man
to kiss his stenographer.
Mrs. Carrie England brought suit
against William II. England. owner

The testimony showed England was
in the habit of calling the stenog-
raphcr into his room twice each day
and kissing her.
Justice Maddox reserved his dccis-
ion. but from inquiries put during
the hearing, and from the general
tenor of the conduct of the court
while the evidence was being ad-
dnced. it is believed Mrs. England
will get her decree.

OF WOMEN

The influence of women, glorious
in the possession of perfect physical
health, upon men and upon the civil
ization of the world could never be
measured-but what about the ailing
depressed woman who is 6
damper to all joyousness in the home
and a drag upon her husband? Ev-
ery such woman should remember
that the one great American remedy
for woman's ills is Lydia F. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound and give

self in the way of restoring that per
feet physical health which is hers by
birthright.

UNCLE SAM
AND FERRIES
Especial to the Appeal

SAN. FRANCISCO, May 20
Uncle Sam may have to engage i'll
the ferry business at the Mare Is
land Navy Yard, whether he wants
to or not. The Suite Legislature
recently enacted a law giving the So
lano Aquatic Club. composed OF
yard employees. the right to operate
a ferry across to this city. This law
does not 90 into effect until ninety
days following the attaching OF the
Governors signature. Meanwhile
the Vallejo Ferry Company's ON
tract with the government expires on
July lst, and it is unlikely that it
will be renewed. the concern holding
that there is not enouh business for
two.
Most of the yard employees live in
Vallejo as a matter of necessity, and
to get them to work the government
will doubtless have to inugurate a
ferry service of its own.
