100000 Childless Wives

One of the most active bodies deal

today is the British Divorce Law
Reform union.
This organization is vigorously de-

of view" asserts A. Horatio Taylor.
chairman of the legal branch of the
union.
George Barnes. member Of the war
cabinet, recently stated that there
are about 100000 childless war wives
in Britain.
Many of these marriages were
hastily contracted, contends the Di-
vorce Law Reform union, and a re-
taxation of marriage laws is neceS-
sary to enable the unhappy parties
to obtain divorces and start anew.
Says Chairman Taylor: 1--WE. are
constantly receiving letters from
these parties. We also receive heart
breaking human letters from desert

moral laws, but go on living out their
sterile lives in lonely, silent misery.

joy into their lives if the law would

There are endless cases of women
deserted and left with families who,
to get home and protector for their
families, have taken the moral law

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle recently
gave some interesting testimony be-
fore the National Birth Rate commits

He took as a basis the figure Of
half million separated couples and
the statement before the recent di-
vorce commission hearing that so
per cent of divorced people remarked
Therefore, if divorces were made
obtainable for the half million now
separated, there would be about a
quarter of a million remarked cou-
pies.
Crediting each family with an av-
erage of three children, he said,
there would be an actual addition to
the population within few years of

SAUSAGE MAKING

Sausage is made from the trim
nings which are left after the
iides, hams and shoulders have
heen trimmt - Only clean,
fresh meat shI 1nd be used in MAX
ing sausage.
Grinding-The trimmings should
he cut into narrow strips and run
through sausage grinder, mix
ing one part of fat with two parts
of lean.
Seasoning-After grinding, the
meat should be spread out thin
ly on a clean table and the fol-
lowing seasoning sprinkled over
each four pounds of meat: / IL
ounces of good fine salt, IL of
an ounce of ground black pepper,
and IL of an ounce of finely
ground pure leaf sage. This sea-
soning should be thoroughly mix
ed with the meat, either with
the hands or by being reground,
using a smaller plate on the
grinder.
Keeping-(D If the sausage is
to be kept for summer use, it
should be made into cakes, fried
about half done, packed in stone
Jars and covered with melted
lard. The flavor, however, is inn
paired to some extent by this pro.
cess.
GU The bulk sausage may be
packed in stone jars, covered
with melted lard, or paraffin, and
kept until hot weather without
the original flavor being lost.
CD Stuffing into castings is also
a very good method for keeping
sausage. However, if this is done
10 per cent (by weighD of wa
ter should be added at the time
of seasoning, to increase the pill
ability. After stuffing, the castings
should be packed in stone jars and
covered with melted lard.
Casings-Prepared castings can
be purchased on the market. or
they may be made at home from
both the large and small intes-
tines. If they are to be made at
home they should first be emptied
and washed well, then soaked
over night in I've or lime water.
After Soaking, they should be
scraped both inside and out, wash,
ed again thoroughly, and packed
in salt until ready for use.

other by-prNucts of meat-curing,

man and l am sure he loved me

married-the other girl and they
