WIFE ADMITS IT
IS ALL TOO TRUE
Husbands Charges are AbSO.
lutGIy True

Macon, Ca, Feb. 13.-An action I'M
precedented within the memory oi
the present members Of the Macon
bar was made matter of record ia
the Bibb superior court this morning
when Mrs. Lottie Mokler filed an
answer to the divorce suit brought
against her by her husband and ad-
mitted all the charges
In Mokler's suit for divorce, which
was filed yesterday by Attorneys
Hancock & Hancock, he charged his
wife with adultery, and gave the name
of the man and other details. This
morning Mrs. Mokler filed the follow
ing sworn statement:
Comes now the defendant, Mrs
Lottie Mokler, in the above stated
case, and files this her plea and an
swer, and answering says that the
facts contained In paragraphs 1928
ASS of the petition filed in the above
case are all true.
Defendant having fully answered
prays the judgment of the court"
Notwithstanding that Mrs. Mokler
admits under oath all of the facts al
legged by her husband, 1t will still be
necessary for him to present evidence
to the court to prove the charge. 1t
is said by lawyers and court officials
that this is the first time in their rec
objection that a wife has ever admit
ed under oath such charges as have
been made against Mrs. Mokler.
1t is said that Mrs Mokler is going
back to Illinois to live.

HAVE YOU SCALES
In YOUR KITCHEN?
II NOT, Does Grocer Give Good
Measure

George w. Lafayette in writing in
the Mothers Magazine, gives an inter-
esting account of how he experiment
ed with goods bought by families from
their grocers, and how he found the
measurements short. The article may
nclp Americas housewives to sav
money. Mr.. Lafayette urges the use
of scales in the kitchen In speaking
of one household, he says
THE family consists OF the two par
ents, four children and one servant.
The fathers income is $4,000 a year.
The kitchen buying is done alternately
by the mother and the servant and on
The part of the former at the time
experimental there was constant com
plant that for what she expended for
the table she was not getting an equi-
valent.
Found Cooking Economical.
without clearly explaining at the
start why wished to make the expert
ment, l satisfied myself that the fam
lily methods of cooking were very eco
nomical and that the garbage box was
not favored friend of servant or
mother, but there were no scales in
the kitchen. For several days l went
to market, either with the servant Or
the mother, the latter explaining to
me that at that time the amount real
lied from he expenditures for food
for the family fell far short of the
amount expended and that the proper
ton of savings to the family income
was ridiculous. 1t was apparent At
once that somewhere in the system or
lack of system of family economy
there was a serious waste.
ITO discover this aud to make some
experiments based upon French and
German family methods of living
went to market regularly. The first
day l heard the mother order some.
thing like this: Two pounds of butter,
one 56-pound sack of flour, two pecks
of potatoes, one peck of onions, five
pounds of sugar, a pound and half
of mutton chops and two pounds of
round steak from the tender side.
When the purchased articles arriv.
ed at the house casually asked if full
weight had been received and the re-
| pl was given that nobody knew
they trusted the merchants. / sug-
gested that a scale be borrowed and
tn articles weighed. For that day
this was done, but the next day an az
curate kitchen scale had been pur-
chased. We weighed every article re-
ceived. The result was:
1.-TWO pounds of butter two ounces
short; so pounds of flour one pound
short; two pecks of potatoes one pound
short; five pounds of sugar three
ounces short-total shortage on one
days purchases, two pounds and IA
ounces, average value 20 cents a
pound, cash loss nearly 60 cents.
my natural inference was that
either the sellers were dishonest OF
careless and that the buyer did not
examine the sellers scales when the
weight was made. Mrs. HOUSE ~ire
was astounded when the disclosure
was made for it was apparent if this
average was kept up for a year her
monetary los would be not less than
1920 a year"
