grass; parents putting children out

Crusader for Hot Luncheons for Pupils
Explains Plan.

II mothers Of Washington school chill
dren haven't enough to do already. here
is something new to which they can de-
vote themselves.
Miss Elizabeth Askew, president OF the
league of Parents Clubs of Tampa, Fla.
Is leading a crusade for hot luncheons for
school children. She states that, not
wtthstanding the high cost OF living, it is
possible to give a luncheon OF good meat,
soup, salad. vegetables and desert all for
: cents
You can even make money on it,
said Miss Askew.
The plan is simple. There are parents
clubs attached to each school Members
Of these organizations in Tampa see to
the preparation Of the meals. The
school board gives permission to install
a kitchen and the mothers cook and
serve the food.
"Out Of the money made on our scent
luncheons. we pay the installments on
our stoves. cooking utensils, china and
silver, So It Is no expense to the school
board" said Miss Askew
In addition to providing food for the
students, the parents clubs IN Tampa
provide anusements for them at night
in the form Of dances and vaudeville
shows.
Miss Askew will address the Columbia
Heights Parents League at its next
meeting in an endeavor to inaugurate
the Tampa system in this city.

New York, Oct 6.-In spite of a divorce
suit decided against him early this year.
Frederick William Hunter, wealthy
lawyer and antique collector of this city
and Freehold, N. j., today went ahead
with his $4,000 alienation suit against
his brother-in-law, John Barrett Ker-
foot, noted literary critic and novel
Ist.
Before a jury in Justice Cohalan's s
part of the Supreme Court, Attorney
Carlisle Norwood, for Hunter, prom
ised to show how Kerfoot secretly wooed
Mrs. Anna Belleville Hunter over a
private telephone, visited her in her
room in his paJamas, sprayed her throat
and kissed her in the living room OF the
Hunter summer home at Freehold.
The court room was crowded with
we'll dressed women who surrounded
Mrs. Hunter and comforted her when
Mr.. Norwood told the jury how he
would show that Mrs. Hunter had re-
ceived the critic in her dressing room
while she was attired in black silk tights.
All the principals in the case are either
80 or over and gray haired; but age,
Mr.. Norwood told the jury, had not
cooled Kerfoot's ardor. He referred to
the situation Of the Hunters and Ker-
fDot as an Extraordinary golden
triangle in which Hunter was the only
unwilling angle.

Enjoy Life! Don't Stay Bilious,

Get a 1O-cent box now.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they suf-
fer from constipation. The condition is
perfectly natural. 1t is Just as natural
as it is for old people to walk slowly.
For age is never so active as youth The
muscles are less elastic. And the bowels
are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid
to weak bowels. The bowels must be
kept active. This is important at all ages,
but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But a lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box at
