MERE CHILD WINS
THIRD COMPANION
AFTER 7 FAILURES

Women Of unmentionable age who
have been unable to capture the elu-
sive hearts of the male sex. have
right to be jealous OF Mrs. Eleanor
Katherine Hirschfield-C omstock-C heak
jenkins.
Aged q, the young lady has captur
ed three husbands and has two d.
vorces behind her. Twice she has
been unlucky in her haste, but entered
bravely into her third matrimonial
venture and showed her less expert
enced finance how to get a marrige
license and other unimportant little
points about the ceremony.
Mrs. MISUNDERSTANDING is the
daughter of Patrolman Hirschfield.
She was married at tender age to
Louis p Comstock, whom her father
had the embarrassing duty of arrest
ing recently. There is no record of
her marriage locally and friends have
forgotten where she eloped to get the
license This happened in the latter
part of 1910.
Early in 1911, she had had enough
of her erring husband. He was given
a sentence for larceny and she secur-
ed a divorce May q. 1911. Three
days later, June l, 1911, she was mar
ried to Homer Wilson Cheak, eight
years her senior. by local minister.
Mr.. Cheak failed to carry out his
end of the nuptial agreement more
than a year after the marriage and
the young wife sued for divorce. She
was given a decree December II, 1914,
almost four months ago.
Saturday she brought William Jen-
kins, %. Fairview, with her to the
clerks office at the court house and
they were soon provided with a H.
cense. All they asked was time to get
married before the report OF the H.
cense was published. They were mar
ried late Saturday and left the city for
a short trip.

Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive organs of
children get out of order as readily
as do those of their elders, and the
result is equally distressing. When
the bowels are clogged with an &C
emulation of refuse from the
stomach the child naturally be-
comes cross and fretful from the
discomfort, and is often punished
for temper when medical attention
is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy, without apparent
reason, try giving 1t mild laxative.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
mild, pleasant tasting combination
of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, and is especially recommended
for children because OF it's freedom
from all opiate or narcotic drugs
and it's gentle action. 1t is sold in
drug stores everywhere A free
trial bottle can be obtained by writ
ing to DR.. W. B. Caldwell, ASP
Washington ST., Monticello, Ills.

Yet 1t Cured Him.

An amusing story is told of a man
who was suddenly attacked in the
night by violent fit of earache. His
wife told him that there was ON the
window sill by the bed a bottle of
chloroform liniment and recommended
him to rub some on his face. Without
striking a light he reached out for the
bottle, pulled out the stopper, and pour
ing some of the contents into his hand
anointed his face from mouth to ear.
Very soon he announced that the pain
was better. lay down again and went
to sleep. He was awakened in the
morning by a cry of horror from his
wife.
"Wbat is the matter?' he inquired.
"LoOk at your facet" was the reply.
A glance in the glass showed him
that his face on one side was as black
as a Negroes. The bottle which he had
grasped In the dark had contained not

VIRTUE OF AN APPLE.
At One Time the Fruit Was Called the
flood of the Gods"

AT One Ine the Fruit Was Called the
"Food of the Gods"
The apple has become so familiar as
the, commonest of all fruits that its
value as mans greatest friend in the
vegetable kingdom may not be fully
realized. 1t was called the food of
the GODS because it was believed to be
the magic remover of youth to which
the gods resorted when they felt them
selves growing old and feeble.
There have been many mystic tradi-
lions about the apple. which has been
credited with varied potency. 1t is the
healing fruit of the Arabian tales.
Latin chronicles and institutes and ear
ly English poems contain many refer
ences to it. Scientific analysis of late
years has justified all the ancient glori-
fication of this fruit. which has been
found to contain albumen. sugar, gum,
malic acid. gallic acid. fiber. water and
phosphorus.
Malic acid of apples neutralizes the
excess of chalky matter caused by too
much meat and thereby helps to keep
us young. Apples are good for the
complexion. as their acids drive out the
noXious matters which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for the brain.
which those same noxiouS matters, il
retained. render sluggish. The acids
of the apple diminish the acidity of the
stomach that comes with some forms
of indigestion.
The phosphorus. of which apples con-
tain larger per cent than any other
fruit or vegetable, renews the essential
matter of the brain and spinal column.
