HUSBAND NOT AT
HOME FOR MEALS;
WIFE DIVORCED
And Mrs. Briggs Wants to Be
Sure the Story Of Her
Family Troubles Is
Published.

Some folks make desperate efforts
to keep their divorce suits out of
the papers. Then, again, others
aren't satisfied unless they are in.
A woman called up The Bee Fri
day to know why the account of the
divorce secured by Geneva Briggs
from Burdett E. Briggs had no.
been published. She said she was
Mrs. Briggs.
Patience, patience Here it is,
madam ....
Judge Wakeley awarded divorce
iu district court Friday to Mrs.
Geneva Briggs from Burdett B.
Briggs, a painter, and ordered him
to pay 5000 aliinony.
Mrs. Briggs alleged that Burdett
was not regular at meal time and
that he acquired the cruel habit Of
absenting himself from home with
out reasonable excuse for two or
three days at a time. This, she
charged he did simply to worry and
annoy her.
She stood it for 18 years, for they
were married at Creston, Ia, on
Christmas eve, 1900.
Mrs. Briggs charged also that her
husband rarely paid her any atten-
ton and that he was cold and in
different and was "stingy with sup
plies for the table and with pin
money and such" Their home was
at 5l5 North Twentieth street.

Lay slice of broiled ham on
white plate with a couple of nicely

fried eggs and there you have a
picture. Salute the autocrat of the

But, you say, l can't eat ham and
they don't agree. This is the
sort of prejudice a host Of people
have against many of the most
tempting dishes, people who have
just as much trouble with a glass
of milk or oatmeal as they do with
fried onions. Try eating what you
like and follow your meal with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to relieve
possible gassiness, runblings,
drowsiness, sour risings, heartburn,

after eating. These Tablets contain
harmless ingredients that act with
an alkaline effect just as the stom-
ach does when it is perfectly nor
NAL.
Many physicians prescribe them
for indigestion, dyspepsia and other
digestive disorders, as they are sold
in all drug stores everywh$e in the
United States and Canah. The
druggist recommends them as
among his steady staples for they
really give relief and are highly ap-
preciated.

gress in the future. Reports from the
United States indicate there Is need of
explaining the details Of various prob
lens being worked out, as misunder-

Pichon said the position Of the Allied
troops on the Archangel front is not
desperate. He declared that while the
bolsheviki are strengthening their
army in that region, they are being de-
feated in other parts Of the country,
and that this condition must soon have
an effect on the northern front.
"The greatest hold of the bolsheviki
on the people Is that the people are led
to believe II they are beaten their land
will be taken from them" said Pichon
III we could show the people that their
land would remain in their hands
three-fourths Of Russia would be
against the bolsheviki."

IS something for nothing. If you keep
that principle in mind you will be buy

which, of course, means conservation
and saving.
Whenyou see anythingoffered

Just about what you pay for and if you try to
pet something for nothing you will generally
get less than you pay for
Some thoughtless housewives
believe they effect a saving by using self
rising -four. In most cases they are buying an
inferior food and paying far more than the
article is actually worth. So the housewife who
thinks she is getting her baking powder for
nothing is mistaken. She is paying dearly for
tand instead, of getting pure, plain -four and
baking powder added in the majority,of cases
is getting poor grade of -four, cheap grade
Of powder containing calcium sulphate or
plaster of paris.
