DRINK AND DIVORCE,

"The story of the divorce court
reeks with whisky and brutality" says
Jack Lait, who writes for Chicago
Herald. He has lately been dropping
into the courtroom of Judge Kersten.
the busiest jurist in Christendom, and
watching and listening" He has
found that "the fist is the symbol Of
divorce and the bottle its inspiration"
Liquor is responsible for more than
ten out of twenty cases. "Those are
the tales" he says, that do not get
display heads in news columns. They
are not important, they are not pic
turesque" Judge Kersten has spent
30 years "adjudicating criminal mat
ters, from murder to splitting on the
sidewalk-and of 1t all, the blacklist,
the sorriest, the saddest, are the dl-
vorce cases."
And the states. most of them, go
on licensing the sale of the stuff
which inspires the drunken fist-go
on in money partnership with the
drunkard maker

To illustrate the national need of
caring for children In their earliest

the Spokane (Wash) Chronicle, ito

for the rubes. but it won't go in the

around to such an extent that the
larger municipalities are among the
leaders in the dry movement. Seven

forced as other laws. Seven wet

In near-prohibition states $l1.0S, in

home after an enforced absence.
During the week q hundred pigeons
belonging to various persons were
stolen. Two boys were found with
seven pigeons, and when arraigned be
fore Justice OF the Peace Glover they
confessed that they were members OF
a gang OF pigeon thieves. The boys
James Phillip and Harry OLeary
were released on suspended sentences
when they promised to get the other
lads to liberate the stolen pigeons
This was done and the air was full OF
birds.
A company OF pigeons that had
made their home around the brewery
lured the recently freed ones to the
malt heaps outside the brewery, where
all wined and dined. They became in.
ebriated, as their unavailing effortf
to get back to their houses testified.

Floor Plan Of Barn.

3oist between the concrete and the
walls should be made very carefully,
so that the cold air cannot blow in.
This particular part Of the barn should
be given careful attention, because 1t
is more likely to be loosely made than
any other par.
All the stanchion fittings are made
OF iron, which presents a smooth sur
face that can be easily cleaned. Dust
and dirt do not readily collect on such
. surface, and the fixtures can be
washed down at the same time as the
floor. The surface Of stancbion fix

end Of the barn, and the chute from
this goes directly to the feeding al
ley. The silo can be built of a size
that viii readily handle the silage

that are to be kept. The floor plan

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent OF leaving OF coffee and
drinking Postum. it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is pleasant way
out OF coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
My wife was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss Of ap-
petite for years; and although We re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
ave knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within tive weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all Of
her troubles had disappeared as II by
magic. It was truly wonderful Her
nervousness was gone. stomach trou-
BILE relieved, appetite improved and.
above all. nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration.
as IT all happened so quickly. Each
day there was Improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle Of this good
work is due to drinking Postum In
