| ucer l ever used, and I have tried
many kinds."-Floyd f. Mcmahon,
Lowndesyille, S. c.

for Just one day, paid for all the Don
Sung Mr. Mcmahon used during the
month (about go cents WORTH. The
extra eggs on all other days were

this offer:
Give your hens Don Sung and
watch results for one month. If you

itself and pays you good profit be-
sides, simply tell US and your money

Turkish Wives Get
Higher Legal Status

AMSTERDAM, Feb. g Marriages
and divorce in Turkey have become
subject to much stricter laws than
heretofore, according to information
received here. A recent enactment
makes the civil ceremony compulsory
for Mahometans, Christians and Jews
alike. Priests of all confessions are
no longer authorized to solemnize a
marriage which has not been previous
~ registered before a Turkish macis-
trate.
follysamy is recognized by the new
law. but should a Moslem wish to take
unto himself second wife, he NAV no
longer divorce the first one upon the
second brides demand, as has been the
practice. Under the old Turkish sys-
zen divorces were not difficult to OBJ
tam and wives had few rights. The
new law, however,, places the wife's
status on much higher level. 1t pro
vides that reconciliation shall i;rst
DC sought between two parties, for
which purpose special tribunal with
court OF appeal has been instituted.
Westerners regard as one serious
flaw IN the new law the fact that it fixes
the legal marrying age at nine for the
girl and twelve for the boy. True. the
consent of the parents or guardians of
the matrimonial candidates must be
obtained until they arc seventeen or
eighteen years of age, respectively:
but it is recalled that the former Abdul
HAND, recognizing the evils of child
marriage, ordained that twelve wears
should be the lowest marrying age for
girl. In this alone the new law is re-
dictionary.

These semi-ofiicial dispatches admit
that the result was obtained by Mill

"Norwarts" the trial of the Socialist
Deputy, Wilhelm Dittmann. has already
opened before an extraordinary court

Ending of the strike in Germany on

"The strike everywhere is on the

LONDON, Feb. .--Innumerabc raids

In the air fighting which accom-

British hiers brought down ten Ger

selves.
The most spirited actions Of the day
were fought in the Yprcs sector. The
