COURT TODEC|DE
WHO OWES FOR

Confectioners Sue for $50 for
Goods Bought by Wife-Hus-
band Awaiting Separation.

peculiarly knotty question at law
will be decided in the Municipal Court
next week, namely:
Pending legal separation the
husband presumably is liable for the
necessities required by the wife,
which, in the case Of Mrs Grace
Macy Keefer, are alleged (by Mrs.
Keefer) to include some $3.50 worth
of sailed almonds. ice cream, fruit
punch and chocolates, the same con-
stituting bill of particulars Supplied
w the Nunnally Company to Mrs.
Keefer in the months of June and
July. 1913.
The position of the Nunnally Com
pany in the matter is businessike in
the eXtreme-the concern merely de-
sires payment of the bill. and has
started suit.
Husband Is COMPLIMENT
David H. Keefer's position also is
easily understood: He being no longer
Mrs. Keefer's maintainer, the bill does
not interest him, except as an exhibit
in what he thinks Is extravaganza.
Mrs. Keefer, who set out to build
model apartments for the occupancy
OF bachelor girls and to reform At
lanta cafes by investigating their
kitchens in a dish washing capacity
asserts that at the time the Nunnaily
account was being compiled she was
not separated from Mr.. Keefer, and
hence he was legally and morally, re-
sponsible for her necessities"
Wherefore, Mrs Keefer, in filing
with Howard c. Stevens, a deputy
municipal clerk, her reply to the suit
of the Nunually Company asserts
that the chocolates fruit punches
sailed almonds, minis and various
consignments of variegated ice cream
all were very necessary to her main
tenance in a state of health and COM
fort and not luxuries in the COM
monty accepted sense of the term.
Clerk no Authority, He Says.
Mr.. Stevens himself is not in a po-
sition to say that Mrs. Keefer's reply
to the Nunnally suit is valid one.
"Caramels and salted almonds are
not necessary to my own existence"
he said. cautiously, but l am not
prepared to say that such items are
not absolutely requisite to the exist
ence of somebody else.

people With Thin BLOOD

Some people have a tendency to be-
come thin-blooded just as others have an
inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to
nervous disorders. The condition in
which the blood becomes so thin that the
whole body suffers comes on so gradually
and stealthily that anyone with natural
disposition in that direction should watch
the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness,
or an@mia, as the medical term is, can
be corrected much more easily in the
earlier stages than later. It begins with
tired feeling that rest does not over
come, the complexion becomes pale, and
breathlessness on slight exertion, such as
going up stairs, is noticed.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most successful in
the treatment of diseases caused by thin
blood. With pure air and wholesome
food these blood-making pills afford the
correct treatment when the symptoms
described are noticed. A former sufferer
from an@mia says: Ell was emaciated
and did not have a particle of color. I
had severe headaches, had no ambition
and could just drag around" DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills quicklyrestored appetite,
flesh and health. A full statement of
this case with directions regarding diet
will be found in the booklet, Building
Up the Blood,'' sent free by the DR.. VIII

06e Changing Circus.

When the old-timer protests that cir
cuses are not what they used to be,
showmen proceed to enlighten him that
there are fashions in circus acts just as
in everything else, and that what he re-
CARDS as deterioration is merely pro-
gressive change.
There is good deal of truth in that,
no doubt. But it is also true that the
circus performance is changing in spite
of fashion, in spite Of itself, through
the pressure of the vaudeville theater.
The observant attendant upon cir
cuses for the past twenty years will
have noted the steady increase of acts
that may be called stage acts; that is,
they are suited to the stage of the
theater as to the ring of the circus.
The cause is to be found in the grow tn
of vaudeville both here and abroad.
The acrobats, who formerly were large
ly dependent on the circus for their live
lihood, can now play the year aroun d
if they adapt their act to the limita
tons of the theater.
The result is noticeable deteriora-
ton or decrease in those more spacious
acts that were once peculiarly charac-
teristic Of the circus performance.
Of course, the vaudeville tendency
does not explain the disappearance of
many familiar circus feats of theRpast.
Here fashion undoubtedly plays its
part. Thus the vaulting and leaping
over an increasing line of horses, camels
and elephants, which was a thrilling
feature of circuses in the eighties, is a
thing of the past. So is the beautiful
equine act in which bareback rider
drive team of twenty or more horses,
beginning with one and catching
the reins of each new horse as it passes
underneath him.
So we might continue. Yet in spite
of change, the circus continues to be a
feast of infinite wonders, sufficient unto
each new generation.
AS Oscar Wilde puts it: "The circus

HOW CHILDREN GROW

Children grow by nourishment-not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
DEMONSTRATING blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which resulta
in weakness, dul1ness and sickness.
IF your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are 1anguid,
backward, pale or frai1, give them Scott's

ment. 1t sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. SCOTS is growing food foE
