WIFE ONCE II BOUGHT
Proceeding Many Centuries Ago
Was Universal.
Present Day marriage Portion" May
Be Regarded as 4 Symbo! o.
Old Custom-Some Curious
WEDDING Ceremonies.

Among far older civilizations than
that Of the Anglo-Saxon the system
Of wife-purchase had ceased before
Britain was a real country. The In
dian law-giver, Manu-, strictly forbade
it, and said: "A man who, through
avarice. takes gratuity, is a seller
Of his offspring" In the historical
times of the Greeks they no longer
bought wives. In Rome "coemptio" was
only symbol Of the ancient custom.
In the Jewish Talmud the purchase is
also symbolic, as ia frequently the
Mohammedan "mahr." Withal, the
bride price, "foster leans" and mar
riage gifts, when returned, were con-
verified into dOwry and became at first
the brides property. Thus marriage
portions chiefly derived their origin
from the habit Of purchase, and dow
~ often became, as with the Hebrews,
a religious duty Not less than the
tenth Of the fathers property was
considered just dowry. In Arts
totle's time nearly two-tifths of all
Sparta belonged from this cause to
the women. Sir Henry Maine consid-
ers that the amazing thrift of the
French Is also owing to this custom,
which probably descended to them
from the marriage law Of ~Augustus
Caesar. It was only by an anachron-
ism that Euripides made Medea la
ment that women were obliged to pur-
chase husbands at q great price. And
it is often as true today as when the
Latin poet sang.
When marriage ceremonies first d.
arise it was by degrees and in many
ways, and customs such as capture
when superseded became by symbol
ism part Of the succeeding legal
form or contract. To eat maize pud
ding from the same plate or to eat
in any way together is a widely dis
tributed marriage ceremony. In Brazil
a couple may be married by drinking
brandy together; in Japan by so many
cups of wine; in Russia and Scan
dinavia 1t used to be one cup for both.
The joining OF hands among Romans
and Hindus is common in many parts
Of the world. In Scotland it is called
"hand fasting" and couples live to-
gether after. To sit on one seat while
receiving friends or to have the hands
of each tied together with grass, or
to smear with each others blood, or
for the woman to tie q cord Of her
own twisting around the naked waist
Of the man constitutes marriage in
one place or another. In Australia a
woman carries fire to her lovers hut
and makes fire for him. A Loango
negress cooks two dishes for him in
his own hut. In Croatia the BRIDE
groom boxes the BRIDES ears, and In
Russia the father formerly struck his
daughter gently with new whip
for fhe last time-and then gave the
weapon to her husband.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CURIOSITY

In view of the ratification, everywhere foreseen. Of
the federal prohibition amendment by the states. any
discussion of the relative jurisdiction of state and nation
in relation to the liquor traffic can be little more than
academic at this time. Nevertheless, there is a feature
Of the case which merits at least a passing glance be-
cause of it's peculiar character. This feature arises in
connection with the so-called bone dry law passed ny
several states.
Until a few years ago the only Jurisdiction which
was assumed by the nation in regard to the sale of liquor
was as a collector of revenue. The states were at liberty
to license, regulate or prohibit as they pleased. The fed
eral government merely required that if liquor were man.
fractured or sold, certain revenue taxes should be paid
thereon into the national treasury.
Then came the enactment of the Webb-Kenyon law,
which decreed that no liquor should be transported in
interstate commerce for the purpose of being used In
violation of the laws Of any state. That law was entire
ly consistent with the theory of the possession OF exclu-
sive control of the matter by the states. The federal gov
ernment, in this law. merely provided that whatever the
liquor laws of a state might be, advantage should not be
those laws. "
Still later there was enacted the federal "bone drv,
1a"' which provided that no liquar should be transport
{ III interstate commerce, for any purpose whatever,
i''o II STATE which, In its own laws, prohibited the man.
"c'uf ana sale OF liquor. That was a direct essump-
ton of authority by the nation over the liquor business
of a state. -
1t seems quite clear that if this law is sound
sress could long since have made dry territory of all the
United States by the enactment Of a simple statute in.
stead OF waiting years for the adoption of a constitution
al amendment. If congress can constitutionallv prohibit
the importation Of liquor for any purpose. into q state
which merely prohibits the manufacture and. sale within
Its borders, congress can also prohibit importation into
a state which regulates in. any manner, and if congress
had done this the result would have been virt,,alfv cow.
plete prohibition throughout the country. ~
And yet exclusive state: jurisdiction over thi. traff,c
mas never been denied by any of our higher courts. and
IT was on the theory that jurisdiction was vested IN the
states that the constitutional amendment " ursaa
submitted and ratified. AS has been. intimated ~, :,

JUST FOLKS
Edgar A. Guest,

Dreams.
Some send out their dreams to sea
in search Of yellow gold,
Some send them in search of fame
on explorations bold.
most Of us keep all our dreams
within the little space
Where mother sings her gentle songs
n children romp and race.
The sailor dreams Of cottage walls,
the soldier fights and dies
That from a little chimney stack the
smoke Of peace shall rise.
And men r brave and me are true
and men do splendid things
While all the time they seem to hear
the song the kettle sings.
Few men there are who toll for gold,
and few who toll for fame;
The cherished dreams of most Of us
are very much the same:
We toll, when all is said and done,
and measure our success
By what it brings into the home of
love and happiness.
Our dreams are bound to tender
things. to laughter and to play.
To brave farewells and welcomes
true with every passing day.
II those at home find pride in us
and joy in all we do,
Then we rejoice because we've seer
our fondest dream come true.

ACD;I in STOMACH
S0URS The FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid is Cause of
k Indigestion. !"

A well-known. authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always u to acidity-acid
'stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states hat an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like garbage
in a can, forming acid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, We
eructate sour food, belch gas, or
have heartburn. flatulence. water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive acids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
Of water before breakfast while it is
ef~fervescing, and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week.. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is impor-
tant to n%eutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate a free flow Of pure diges-
tive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless
salts is used by thousands Of people
for stomach trouble with excellent
results.

"READY TO DIE"

Among the comments on the death of Roosevelt is
one, whose source is forgotten, quoting a statement said
to have been made by the former president when SEEM
ing1y near death from the result of a pistol wound a few
years ago saying that he was ready to die, and, in the
opinion of the commentator, that expression of readiness
to die would have been repeated, had there been oppor-
tunity or occasion for it when the great leader lay down
for his earthly sleep. u
When is a man ready to die? In what does readi-
ness, to die consist? Sometimes men long for death, be-
cause of age and its infirmities; because of misfortune
piled on misfortune. with no light ahead. But one can
not imagine a man Of Roosevelts type, with his in
tensely active mind and his lively interest in everything
going on about him, actually desiring death.
The man of intellect and action NAV be said to be
ready to die, not in the sense Of desiring death. but OF
facing it calmly, when he can look back upon a life full
and rounded, whatever its length may have been. and
when he can be conscious of cleanness of soul and hon
esty of purpose. And even then, the individual is likely
TO regard death as something inevitable, to be accepted
with resignation and faced with composure than as
something to be courted and welcomed.

Archangel Region
Suffers From Flu"

Archangel, via London, Dec Ms
correspondence Of the Associated
Press.)-The Thurman coast, the Kola
peninsula and the entire. district Of
the White sea coast have suffered
heavily from the influenza. In the
regions Of Omega and KEN the popu-
lation Of entire villages and counties
are i'll with ssthe disease. Along the
shore Of the White sea there are only
three or four sanitary or ~dispensary
points and in many cases those are
without medicines.
In the county Of ,Nimensk there are
houses where the entire family has
died and the houses are empty and
closed. The peasants are burying
their dead without collins, no one be-
ing available to make them. A writer
in the Archangel newspaper says:
1.-THE streets Of the villages Of the
s%eacoast make IN awful impression.
Everybody is i'll. Children are crying
and the cattle IRE lowing terrible,
nobody being there to feed them"
Archangel also has suffered con-
siderably from the epidemic. There
were at one time two thousand cases
there. A sanitary commission was
formed. with power to exercise sum-

LIFE INSURANCE

one OF the most beneficial things that the govern
ment has done for the soldiers in the great war is its
urging upon them the importance Of taking out life in
su rance for the benefit of their dependents. Ana the
ppeopie OF the country generally who are familiar with
tne value OF life insurance to the Individual and to his
fanny can perform still further valuable service to the
returned soldier by urging him to continue his insurance
by transferring the government policy which he now
holds into a policy issued by one of the regular and =.
liable insurance companies within the five-year period
during which such transfer is possible.
Life insurance is 2 combination Of saving against the

PARTY LEADERSHIP

The death of Roosevelt has brought the subject OF
party leadership to the front, and comment is made on
the fact that with Roosevelt removed by death, and Will
son presumably taken out Of the field OF active politics
by the approaching completion of his second term as
president, neither, Of the two great parties has a ma"
who stands out so conspicuously as a leader of his EEL
lows that there can be no question of his standing.
That Roosevelt was such a figure goes without say
ing. He had been quite widely discussed as a probable
candidate for the presidential nomination of his party
next year. 1t had been reported that he contemplated
the early issuance of a statement declaring that he would
not be a candidate. But whether he had become a can
,didate or not, he was unquestionably at the time OF MS
death the most commanding figure in the Republican
party.
With Roosevelt gone. there remains no such figure.
There are able men in the party, many of them. Lodge
Borah, Cummins, Weeks, to mention but q few. are all
strong, clean men. But not one of them is of the type
which would make one say to him, This is the leader OF
the party"
In the Democratic party the situation is similar.
Clark, Underwood, McAdoo and others have their strong
points, but neither these nor any others who might be
named have impressed their leadership so definitely ON
the party that it is accepted as a matter of course.
Yet it does not follow that there may not be in both
parties men who will take their place as leaders, and
whose leadership will be accepted. Marked personal
characteristics in both cases, and, in the case Of the pres
ident, the tremendous world developments during his
presidency have tended to focus attention, in the Re-
publican camp, on Roosevelt, and in the Democratic, on
Wilson. Other men. perhaps of commanding ability,
have been subordinated. We may recall the time when
Tilden dominated the Democratic party. and Blaine the
Republican. During those years no other leaders were
considered; and on their departure the party OF eacn
was left apparently destitute of leadership. Yet out OF
that situation emerged, in one case, the commanding
figure of Cleveland, and in the other the t~actful, per
suasive Mckinley and the rugged Roosevelt.
A little more than a year from now two men will
be nominated as the candidates of the two great parties
for president. Both of those men are more or less prom
inent in public affairs today We read about them often.
Occasionally, perhaps, we see them and hear them speak
But their identity must remain a matter Of speculation
for a good many months to come. .
