FAT GIRL SENS
UP WHOLE
FAMILY
Father Loses His Beard and
Ma Will Have to Get a
New Skirt.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, July %
When James Nlorariety dug cellar
and fitted it with an entrance and a
roof as protection against storms he
failed to figure on the figure Of his
IA year old daughter, Mary who
weighs 81 pounds.
As result he is shy part Of his
wonderful growth Of whiskers, his
wife demands a new skirt, and neither
Mrs. Morariety nor the daughter has
spoken to him since the big rain
which came with a threatening wind
early in the week.
The Morarietys moved from Lead
Hill to the outskirts of Hot Springs
Just few days before the big storm
which did so much damage here in
June, That storm frightened them so
much that Morariety Immediately dug
a new cellar.
He placed door at the foot OF the
entrance steps and a pair Of doors at
the top. The top doors were built
so that when closed from the inside
they formed a continuation of the
slope of the roof
When heavy cloud appeared the
other day the family rushed for the
cellar. Mr.. and Mrs Monarchy lead
ing, the fat daughter close behind.
d the cellar just n
second before the fat girl rolled down
the steps.
The rush with which they entered
caused Morariety's whiskers to flow
over his shoulder, and Mrs. Morarlety's
skirt to extent to the rear in such a
way that when Marys precipitate
Jump for the lower door wedged her
in, both whiskers and skirt were
caught securely between the girl and
the door.
Poor Mary vainly screamed and
kicked, but she could neither go for
ward nor back. Morariety faced the
frantic girl. who paved him in her
efforts to pull herself through. Mrs,
Morariety tried to unfastcn her skirt,
but could not manage 1t.
The rain fell for an hour and poured
in torrent down the steps, because
the sufferers had not found time to
close the upper door. 1t was not I'M
til the cellar was half full of water
and the rain had ceased that Morariety
thought OF his pocket knife.
He cut his whiskers loose and then
extricated his wife. The two Of them
tore out one side Of the door so that
the rotund Mary could be free.

Should a Man Discuss His
Business with His Wife?

airy" refrained from taking his wife
into his confidence about his impend-
ing business reverses. 1t is aoso-
lutte cruelty for man to withhold
information about his AFFAIRS from his
wife-just as cruel as it would be II
she we're to refrain from telling him
that their little son was i'll until the
child had actually passed away. A
man would grow indignant-so in
dignant that he would not listen for a
minute to his wiie's protestatIons that
she wanted to spare him the worry"
OF knowing the truth about their sons
condition.
Surprising a man does face bank
ruptcy. Is it not kinder to tell his
wife the truth about his affairs as ear
ly as possible so that she can arrange
to meet new conditions? Or is it pleas
anter to let her continue in her gen.
erous expenditures and face the truth
suddenly one day? Remember that
in the latter case she cannot avoid the
inference that her husband distrusted
her courage so much that he dared
not voluntarily confde in her, and this
is not a pleasant reflection for any
woman
But why bother a woman with
business troubles that may never
happen?" asked a husband who prides
himself on being "fndulgent," Doesn't
it nit two people more closely to have
weathcred a storm together and come
out safely than II one steered the
bark alone while the other remained
oblivious to the dangers?
1t is not considered indicate for
young woman to know the state OF
her prospective husbands finances.
Why should man consider it unchiv-
alrous to tell her the truth about his
finances when they change? Too
much Of this ignorance Of their hus-
bands affairs has resulted in help
less widows finding out only at their
husbands funerals that they are pen
nlless.
The greatest kindness man can
do is not only to keep his wife ac-
curately informed Of all his business
affairs, good and bad. but to give her
some training in the administrative
side Of his business at least. With
this equipment she will in very truth
he a sympathetic working partner with
him mentally in his business as well
as in his domestic and social life, and
he will never be appalled, by the
thought Of what will happen to Mary
II reverses or sudden death oyertake
him. Best Of all, he will find that she
wants to pitch in" and help and be
cheerful about 1t il the time ever
comes when he needs some one to

SERVICE BILL
In New Zealand Passes the
Lower House with But Four
Votes against 1t.

WELLINGTON, n. H., July 29.-The
first CONSUMPTION measure in the
British Overseas Dominions was vlr-
tually placed on the statute books on
June 10, when the military service
bill passed Its third reading in the
House of Representatives with only
four votes in opposition.
During the debates the government
described the bill as one providing
for compulsory service when yolun-
tary enlistment failed, that is, the vol
untary system will continue but it
will be backed by a scheme of COM
pulsory service, thereby insuring the
number of endorsements the coun-
try is required to send away every
four weeks.
The minister for defense, Col. ]. AL
len, pointed out that under the new
bill no class Of men was exempt, be-
cause that had proved to be a mis-
take in England.
The few Iaborites in the House OPP
posed the bill. One Of them, P. Webb,
declared that since New Zealand had
provided 10000 men out Of its poDu-
Iation Of million, 1t was an insult
to the country to say that the volun-
tary system had failed. In England

COST Of LIVING
PROBLEM IS
SOLVED
Very Simple: All You Have to
Do Is to Stop Eating and
Chew Gum.

CHICAGO, July 29,-The question,
"why is chewing gum" has at last
been answered. Chewing gum, ac-
cordlng to Dr. Anton Carlson, asso-
ciatc professor of physiology at the
university OF Chicago, reduces the
board bill.
DR.. Carlson has just completed a
book on THE Control of Hunger" in
which he tells of hundreds OF exr
periments on humans, dogs, guinea
pigs and rabbits, proving that hun
ger pangs diminish with the use Of
chewing gum, chewing tobacco, CT
CARS and cigarcts. The direct re-
suit of gnawing at a piece OF gum is
the stimulation Of nerves in the
mouth, causes a decrease in stomach
contractions, thus assuaging the
sharpest appetite.
Says Alcohol Reduces Hunger.
Gum is not the only substitute for
food, however, in the opinion of Dr..
Carlson Wine, beer cocktails, high
balls, apricot brandy, sloe gin fixes
and mint juleps will make you think
you've had real square meal. Pro-
lessor Carlson found that whiskey or
other strong alcoholic drinks intro
duced into the stomach of dogs in suf-
ficient amount will abolish the hunger
contractions of the stomach for thirty
six hours. But in order to prove this
fairly no drop of liquor should touch
you mouth. If you taste the drink
you are cheating.
Declares Starvation Painless.
Dr. CARLSON advocates a semi-an-
nual period of starvation as a means
Of frightening the span Of life and
obtaining greater enjoyment from liv-
ing.
'"There is no pain or suffering in
volved in starvation he says. Dur
ing the entire period Of abstinence
from food during my experiments the
hunger sensation was strong enough
to cause some discomfort, but not to
a degree that could be, called pain
This discomfort was at no time sutii-
Gent to interfere seriously with work.
And since practically all observers
agree that the hunger discomfort is
greatest during the first few days Of
starvation it seems probable that my
i've days starvation gave me a taste
Of the maximum discomfort that would
be experienced in more protracted
fasts. Accounts Of acute sufferings
from mere starvations, water being
al ell times available, must therefore
be imaginary or the result Of fear and
panic" .-,.--..a.-.--.,.--..----l--.--

OFT-WED BRITON
IS DIVORCED
AGAIN
Courts of Nations Are Tangled
by His Many Matrimonial
Ventures.

LONDON, July 29.-Au extraordi-
nary matrimonial tanglc was disclosed
here when Mrs. Dorothy Violet Ger
aldinc Robinson asked for md pro-
cured the annulmcnt Of her marriage
10 Edward Ernest Robinson.
According to evidence produced,
Robinson married Jessie HRwtrcy In
1878, and took her to America, where
in 1888, he deserted her and returned
to England. Six years later she got
n divorce IN California.
RohinSon's second matrimonial ven
turc was in 1893, whol .he learned Of
his first marriage. and started annul-
ment proceedings, which secured de-
cree for her on November s, 1901. But
she had anticipated matters lttlo
by marrying Captain Monk Mason the
previous June. She didn't tell Cap
tain Mason Of Robinson and they went
to India with the captain still igno-
rant of her first match.
In 1907 she returned alone TO En-
gland on account Of Ill health. She
met Robinson and went TO live with
him. lilo persuaded her that her de-
cree Of annulment was invalid and
that his first wife, who in the mean
time had married again was not real
ly his wife.
Then Mason sued and got divorce
and $4,000 damages from Robinson as
correspondent
In July, 1908 Robinson met the pres
ent petitioner and was smitten. He
told her he was in the British dIplo-
malIc service, and married her in
Portsmouth February IA, 1911, giving
the name of Cecil Raymond Robinson.
He deserted her In October, 1912, 80.
In June, 1913, she located him, liv-
ing in style under the name Of Robert
Mason at the Grosvenor Hotel, Vic
toria, and commenced various court
proceedings. The war added to her
troubles, for two sets of divorce papers
needed in the case were lost coming
from the United State through the tor
pedolng of vessels and the third set
only recently arrived.
The court 1ayed the character Of the
philandering Robinson, and awarded
tho wife a decree of annulment with
costs and the custody Of their child.

They were married and started TO
live happily ever after. And John
had the means to make Mary as hap
py as be loved to sec her. They lived
luxuriously. Mary's costumes we're the
last word in fashion. and they enter

Then John saw the blow coming.

terials in this country For months
he fought against the inevitable issue
and the worried lines between his eyes

expected. In fact she seemed so cheer
full about it and so ready to begin at
once readjusting their living arrange

new turn Of affairs.
OF course she was not. She was
simply endowed with more common

her credit for possessing. And it
was a rather meek John who unpro-
