SHE GETS DECREE
BUT HUBBY PUTS
ONE OVER SLEUTH

Chicago, July 3.-Harold A Wat
erbury may not be the truest hus-
band in the world, but he is one
of the most obliging. A few weeks
ago, for instance, Charles E. Erb-
stein, attorney for Mrs. Pauline
Waterbury, 1858 Michigan avenue,
sent a private detective to ST.
Louis to obtain evidence for a d.
vorce.
Waterbury didn't keep the detec-
tive waiting lond. After it was all
over he wrote his wife a letter,
which was offered by Attorney Erb-
stein before Superior Judge Hop
kins yesterday. It read:
Dear Pauline-Your detective
came and saw and conquered He
is now on his way rejoicing, though
l had expected an offer from him
for his silence.
HE was quite joke, and at that
did have me fooled for at least two
hours.
81 do not know who paid for it,
but he showed me a good time,
though he squealed a little when
one round Of drinks set him back
over $3.50.
''At first thought l would work
fast and let him get away Saturday,
but reconsidered. and kept him
waiting for the proper staging for
the climax. He has all the 'evi-
dence' now. Fortunately the po-
lice station is only a block from
the hotel, so was not put to much
trouble and only detained a mo-
ment.
"If you had seen fit to consult
me 1 could have saved you con-
siderable expense. The lack OF
confidence is one of the fundamen-
tai principles which are respon-
sible for our separation"

The text of the treaty follows:

The text of the treaty follows:
Considering that the United
States of America and the govern
ment .of the French republic are
equally animated by a desire to
maintain the peace of the world, 50
happily restored by the treaty sign
ca at Versailles on June %, which
Put an end to the war begun by the
aggression of the German empire
and terminated by the defeat of that
power and,
Considering that the United
States of America and the govern
ment of the French republic, fully
convinced that an unprovoked ag-
gression directed by Germany
against France would not only
violate at the same time the letter
and spirit of the Versailles treaty
to which the United States and
France are parties, thus exposing
France anew to the intolerable bur-
den of unprovoked war, but that
such aggression on the part of Ger
many would constitute an act re-
puted by the treaty of Versailles as
being against all the powers sig
natory to the treaty and calculated
to trouble the peace of the world,
involving inevitably and directly
the states of Europe and directly
the entire world as experience has
amply and unhappily demonstrated
and,
VIII Provide Security.
Considering that the United
States of America and the govern
ment of the French republic appre-
hend that the stipulations concern
ing the left bank of the Rhine can
not assure Immediately to France,
on one hand and to the United
States on the other, a signatory
power to the treaty of Versailles,
appropriate security and protection.
Consequently the United States
of America and the government of
the French republic, having decided
to conclude treaty to realize these
necessary ends, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, and Robert Lansing. sec
retary of the state, specially au-
thorized to that end by the presi-
dent Of the United States of Amer
lea, and Georges Clemenceau, pres.
ident of the council of ministers,
and minister 'of war, and Stephen
Pichon, minister of foreign af .
fairs, specially authorized to that
end by Raymond Poincaire, presi-
dent of the French republic, have
agreed upon the following:
Left Bank of Rhine.
Article 1.-The following stlpu-
lations concerning the left bank Of
the Rhine, are contained in the
peace treaty signed with Germany
at Versailles, June 2S, 1919, by the
United States of America, the gov
ernment of the French republic and

Rhine or assembling forces within
30 miles east Of the Rhine, and

ions of the British empire unless

the parliament of each dominion
interested. This agreement is sign.

mier, and A. J. Balfour, British sec
retary Of state for foreign affairs.
French Press Pleased.
Paris, July 3.-"The guarantee
pact" as the Partisan press calls
the treaty between the United
States and France, gives general
satisfaction. All the newspapers,
however, point out that, according
to the text of the instrument, Amer
lea goes farther than England does
in the treaty between France and
that country.
By article 1, OF the American
French treaty, "the United States
of America will be bound TO come
to the aid Of France Immediately
it is pointed out, while article /, OF
the Anglo-French agreement only
says:
England consents to come, etc"

CaOrUa will ypaI-a hfa ranorf IN fhn
peace negotiations in the house Of

teeing France against UnprovOked

Dried Vegetable Value.

It is by no means certain that dried vegetables possess the same nutriment value as vegetables that have not been dried. Prof. Philip B. Hawk of Jeffer- son Medical college, Philadelphia. notes in Science a phenomenon that was called to his attention by Charles Den by of the war trade board and Daniel Moreau Barringer, which suggests that some hitherto unsuspected structural change takes place in vegetables when they are dried.
 It is we'll known that when dried vegetables are immersed in water for a few hours they assure a form close ly resembling that of fresh vegetables. Yet if this swollen vegetable be left at room temperature for from 24 to 36 hours it returns to its dried state, in other words, fresh vegetable holds its water much more tenaciouSly than does a dried vegetable that has been immersed in water.

Will Preserve Historic Spots.

The western front is to retain some of its battlefelds. at least, as war memorials. The decision of the French government to preserve in their pres ent condition selected sites, and to pro- hibit any alteration will be welcomed by many who feared that the disfigur- ing and mercenary hands of the cafe preprietors, the souvenir sellers, the restaurants and the hotel keepers would obliterate historic spots in their efforts to provide attractions for the coming throngs of tourists. Among the places already decided upon are the forts at Verdun, the trenches of Sois- sons, the underground mazes of Mou- quet farm, the ruins of Bapaume. and the mangled remains of Pozieres.

Avarice.

Avarice begets more vices than Priam did children, and, like Priam, survives them all. It starves its keeper to surfeit those who wish him dead i; and makes him submit to more morti- fications to lose heaven than the mar tyr undergoes to gain it. Avarice is passion full of paradox, madness full of method; for although the miser is the most mercenary of all beings, yet he serves the worst master more faithfully than some Christians do the best, and will take nothing for it. He falls down and worships the god of this world, but will have neither its pomps, it's vanities, nor it's pleasure for his trouble. He begiIs to accumulate treasure as a means to happiness, and by a common but morbid association he continues to accumulate it as an end. He lives poor to die rich, and is the mere jailer of his house and the turnkey of his weath.-C. c. Colton

sirdIess prairIes of the Northwest

Those of us who have lived in the East among the feathered songsters that make their summer homes among the leafy bowers of forest trees realize how few and far between are the bird notes of the West. One may travel the prairies for days and meet with less than half dozen varieties. Espe- cially in this part of the country Is it desirable that we should conserve what we have left of the feathered tribes and seek to induce others to visit us. A birdless country is some thing difficult to picture; it is not an impossibility should we fail to respect the laws now provided for the perpet- uation of the migratory and other spe- cies.-Calgary Herald.
