three separate parts, eight hours for
work. eight hours for play and eight
hours for sleep.
That formula would give Us sixteen
hours OF rest and recreation and eight
for work, or two hours OF recuperation
for one of exhaustion. With many,
too many, the day is divided into two
Unequal parts sixteen hours for labor
and eight hours for rest, with no time
for recreation or play. This is another
instance OF the human body getting

The human body. which in it's ex-

DRESS MD DIVORCE.

Some people believe that more di-
Vorces are caused Dy strong drink
than by anything else. Others lay
the majority of divorces to poor cook
ing, while still others new faction.
by the way-believe that the clothes
question is the one that breaks up
families. Clothes for the woman, not
clothes for the man.
1t is one of the cardinal principles
OF life that no married woman ever
has a thing to wear. "Oh, / haven't
got a thing TO wear" has become so
common an expression that even the
comic weeklies have long since passed
is up as A covered joke.
Now comes a Georgia woman who is
suing her husband for divorce on the
ground that ne will give her only $50
year for clothes. This is a very
fine point for the court TO decide. The
average court, looking out into the
street and seeing the half-dressed
women going by. would be of the Opin-
ion that $50 a year would be enough
TO clothe three or four of them This
is where the court would be in error.
Many a woman looks as though
she didn't have s. worth of clothes on
when she really has about $500 worth.
Values have gone up remarkably in
the past few years. \ woman runs
around with a few yards Of mosquito
netting draped about her form and
the average man thinks that her ap-
parel cost about A. cents. This is a
grave mistake. No woman who makes
any pretentiOns at all 10 being well
dressed. can dress on $50 a year Some
OF them cannot even do il on $50 a
year.
The Georgia woman seems to have
a good foundation for her divorce suit.
She is & victim OF the times. which
requires a new gown for every call or
for every eception.-Grand Rapids

These petitions are being sent to the headquarters of the State Central committee at Hartford. and names with such endorsements will be ofs fered to the Progressive party voters at the primaries August 31.
