"a lack Of knowledge OF the value OF

thur Lacv. of the Domestic Relations
Court in Detroit recently, when he made
public figures showing that 90 per cent
OF the cases that come before his court
are due to extravaganza on the part
Of wives and tnat in another 40 per
cent. of the cases in which faults of
both man and wife are responsible, eX-
travagance Of the wife is the principal
trouble.
We are proud of the American
woman. her intelligence, her charm and
her achievements, but it must be adj
mitted that in too many instances she
is far from a careful saver or wise
spender.
IN most cases, probably, this is due
to faulty training in early life as TO the
value Of money and the Importance Of
spending it wisely and saving portion
Of income systematically
II is not entirely love Of ease and
luxury that lays our women open to the
charge Of extravaganza, although that is

remedies are suggested by the
Bureau Of Plant Industry of the De-
partment OF Agriculture.
One remedy suggested Is to thicken
the stand OF grass, so as to crowd
out Mr. Dandeiion. Ii this doesn't
work, cut out the dandelion tops and
sprinkle salt on the exposed roots.
Then II the weed does not sueeumb.
the only sure remedy is to spade up
the ground and start afresh.
Spraying dandellons with iron sui.

aggravates the plant, ii is said un-

ting, the roots grow deeper, thicker
and harder. Spring Is the time to

Three departments Of the Federal
government have just ruled that all
packages Of food must tell the truth,
on their wrappers, OF the amount or
volume Of their contents. BY signing
the mot weight law the Secretaries
Of Agriculture. Commerce and Treas
ury have put into effect stringent
regulations respecting the packing
and bottling of food stuffs.
The regulations require that the
quantity stated on the container must
represent the actual quantity Of food
exclusive OF wrapplngs and con-
tainer. Under this requirement it
would not be enough TO state that
package Of canfw contained "a cream
peppermints, as candies vary in size
and this would not be statement Of
the actual quantity IN the package.
IA general solids must be stated in
terms Of weight and liquids in terms
OF volume.
The new rule is 50 worded, too.
that queer-shaped bottles must not
show discrepancies greater than

bottles Of the same capacity. Pack
ages weighing ounces or bottles
