caucus at which four names were pre-
sented. On the first ballot he made a

DIVORCES GAIN
 ON MARRIAGES
Statistics Show One Out of Every 9 Marriages Ends
 in Divorce.

Washington, March 20 - Approxi- mately one out Of every nine mar riages in the United States is terni- mated by divorce, according to figures computed by the bureau of the census and madep ubLc today.
 Excluding South Carolina, where all laws permitting divorce were re- pealed in 1878, the three lowest tli- vorce rates in 1916 for which year returns are now complete, are shown for the District of Columbia, North Carolina, and New York, where the rates were 13, 31 and 32 per 100000 respectively. The highest rates were returned for Nevada, Montana and Oregon, which showed GOT, 323, and 225 respectively.
 In all states, except Maine, West
 Virginia. South Carolina, Alabama.
 Mississippi, North Dakota South Da-
 kota and Colorado the divorce rates were higher in 1918 than in 1906 In 31 per cent. of the cases in 1916 the divorce was granted to the husband,
 while the husbands rate in 1906 was l CT per cent.
 Desertion is shown by the figures to have been the cause for about 38 per cent of the divorces. Among 1 other leading causes were cruelty, in 1 fidelity and failure to provide. i Records also showed that the mar riage rate in 1916 was 1,050 per 1O0,- 1 900, or nine times as great as the di- l vorce rate of I12 per 100000. Tho l marriage rate in 1906 was 1.O2O pel | 100, ,0Oe, showing the marriage rate tc 1 be increasing considerably more l slowly than the divorce.

EARRINGS OF
 SAINT STOLEN Thief Snatches Jewels From Ears of Statue In
 Church.

New York, March 20.---Two- score candles illuminate the statue of St Rocco which sands in the Church of the Most Precious Blood, No. 11S Bax- ter street Their f4ekeT'ing light until vest erday kept two gold rings in St RCcco's ears shining.
 Curled at the feet of the six-foot figure the saints dog is carved. Close Try is g. poor4box. Around the foot of the pedestal visitors to the church l1neeI in prayer. The earrings, con tT'tbuted years ago by q wealthy par ishioner. gave touch cf color and of richness to the stone image.
 A woman knee1ing beforc the statue yesterday finished her prayers and looked up into the saints face. She
 missed the gIint of the earrings. She stood up and craned to see. The gold rings, for a certainty, were gone.
 The church is open during Lent from il @. m. to D. m. for prayers. Some one had slipped in with the vorshippers and ripped the bands from St. Rocco's ears. No one saw the saciIege and the police have no icluee. Father Savastano asserts that a relic hunter must have stolen them and that he will return the jewelr'y when his conscience begins to tor ment him The rings were not taken for their intrinsic worth, the priest thinks.

F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Q glass of Salts D flush out your Kidneys and nautralize irritating
 acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid says 8 noted author ity. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the blad- der where it often remains to irritate and iuf1ame, causing a burning. scala ing sensation, or setting up an irrita- tion at the neck of the bladder, oblig- ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very prOfuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they cant control trina ton. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful. this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in 9 glass of water before breakfast, continue this
 for two or three days. This will neu- traIize the acids in the urine so it nc longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs whict then act normally again.
 Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with Iithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus l ed by u~-c acid irritation. Jad Salt ] is splendid for kidneys and causes nt bad effects whatever.
 l Here you have 8 pleasant, effer l vescent Whitewater drink, whicI quickly relieves bladder trouble : -
