DIVORCES IN NEW

New Dances, Particularly the Tango,

New York. July 24.---New York
has just been brought face to face
with the fact that the number of
divorces during the first six months
OF this year show an increase of fifty
per cent over the corresponding
period for last year. Indeed, the

Many factors are cited as being
to blame but the one which faces
the heaviest Indictment is undoubt-

too great poverty or too great

application designed to so Intricate the
muscles and to thus so relieve the pres

natural strain upon the cords and liga-

pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and many local distresses. ThiG
splendid embroeation Is known to { multi
tude Of mothers.
They have used it during the period
when they could realize the value Of
timely and helpful advice. That is why
they recommend It.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time that
have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions of age, weight. general
health etc. may be gafely relied upon.
And Judging by the fact that Mothers
Friend" has been in continual use since

may be easily Inferred that it is some
thing that women talk about and gladly
recommend to prospective mothers.
