THE JESTER IN
LAW--DIVORCE
Divorce Laws Not Country's
Fault; Lax Marriage
Laws the Trouble

a Jester Within the Law" was the
subject Of J. NJ. Erickson, superintend-
ent OF the FL Paso Chautauqua. before
that body Tuesday morning.
Divorce was the subject and, in his
discussion Of the matter, Mr.. Erickson
declared that under the present legal
system, each state governing the sub
ject Of divorce by separate laws, it is
perfectly possible for a man to be mar
ried and single at the same time.
thousands of women today are the
lawful wife of a man in one state and
his concubine in another" he asserted.
by merely passing from one state to
another. their children cease to be
legitimate and become illegitimate, in
capable OF inheriting property.
'sThe laxity Of the laws in some
states, their rigidity in another, do not
meet the present day requirements.
The only way to do away with this
conflict OF laws is for the national
congress to take over the whole mat
ter of marriage and divorce and make
IL a national instead Of state matter.
THE evil is not so much with the
divorce laws as with the laxity OF our
marriage laws" he asserted. I'm
beetles can marry imbeciles and beget
imbeciles and there is no felon re-
leased from prison who may not make
stab at marriage and perpetuate IN
his offspring his diseased mind and
body"
Mr.. Erickson will lecture each morn
ing before the Chautauqua except Fri
day, when Francis Labadie takes his
tuesday afternoon DR.. Thomas E.
Green lectured on The Force That
Failed"

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve 1t. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about -four
ounces Of ordinary liquid aTvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t IN
gently with the finger tips
Do this tonight and BY morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more APP
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy. silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adv.

efeeS or the two 1-mOnth- old puDs
The demonstration was highly salts

turn for real man trailers should the
necessity arise.
Policeman Watson left the G. H
pumping station near Fort Bliss at 80
p. m and was given an hours start
travelling east at a fast rate he varied
the trail by devious turnings and zig
tagging. Four and one-half miles dis
tant frcm the starting point he was
bayed by the two dogs in a bush where
he had taken refuge.
Judge Price then announced that he
would like to try it. Divesting himself
OF his coat he struck out across the
prairie, and after going about three
quarters Of a mile. mounted Ira Wares
horse which was in waiting and trav-
eled some distance further In the
meantime the dogs had again been
given the trail and soon overlook the
judge. II is stated that the change
from afoot to horseback made no DIFF
ference, and that the dogs never lost
the trail and followed at a run.
The runners were followed by the
spectators in automobiles. Among
those who witnessed the exhibitions
were sheriff Peyton J. Edwards Judge

DANISH sCRoFULA
Hoods SnrsapariIIa CIennses the Blood
skin Troubles Vanish.

ScrOfula eruptions on the face and
body are both annoying and disfigur-
ing. Many a complexion would be
perfect II they were not present
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting OF
the muscles, a form of dyspepsia, and
general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine COM
pletely eradicates scrofula. 1t puri-
fies and enriches the blood, removes
humors and builds up the whole sys-
tenn. 1t embodies the careful train
ing. experience, and skill of Mr. Hood,
a pharmacist for fifty years, in its
quality and power to cure.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are quite
free from it. Get Hoods Sarsaparilla
and begin taking it today.-Adv.
