"You compelled your first wife to
support you; you have ruined the
life of another decent girl and won't
support your own baby, but instead
you go at night and steal the few
dishes that belong to your wife," he
continued.
Rood has been out Of the army
since February.
Hes promised, it is true" said
Mrs. Rood, ito give money-not for
myself, but for his child-but no one
has seen any money, and promises

for baby"
Mrs. Rood, who is a nurse. asked
nothing for herself, but only for the
child.
Judge Foster stated that unless
Rood complied with the courts or
der to contribute SIS toward the
support of the child more stringent
action would be taken.

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly
Spots. How to Remove Easily.
Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless
it removes the freckles; while if it
does give you clear complexion the
expense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine--
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beau
tiful complexion. Rarely is more
than one ounce needed for the wost
case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.-Adv.
