HUSBAND ASKS DIVORCE
Street Railway Employees and Rail-
road Brakemen Are Blamed.

Street railway motormen and con-
ductors seem to have had special at
traction for Mrs. Susie Butler, 318
Branner street, according to the di-
vorce petition filed in the district
court today by Harrison Butler. Rail-
road brakemen were also acceptable,
the husband alleges.
The Buffers were married in Sep
TENDER 1911. During the summer of
1920, the husband charges his wife
began to neglect her household duties
and, leaving the children with friends
or acquaintance, to go out alone. She
ran about both day and night, he
claims, sometimes staying out until
after midnight.
During the month of July, when she
was having dental work done, Butler
says she frequently told him the dem
fist was SO busy during the day that
she would have to go to him at night.
On at least ten occasions, he claims,
she made this statement and he stayed
home and cared for the children while
she went out. He alleges that the
brisk business of the dentist was a
mere subterfuge.
Butler charges his wife with con-
Quoting herself Improperly with a
street car conductor. whom he claims
she met at Sixth and Kansas avenues
and accompanied to a rooming house;
also with a motorman and Rock Is
land brakemen. During the last six
months he says. she has neglected her
household duties, and failed to pre-
pare his meals and take proper care
of her children.

WOMAN
Got Quick Results From Tanlac,
She Says.
Has Been Restored to Perfect
Health by Taking 1t.

1T seems almost miraculous the
way Tanlac has restored my health
and built me up said Mrs. Rebecca
Center, 504 West 18th ST., Wichita.
In February, 1920, 1 was taken
down with the flu, and was left with
such a bad stomach that almost all I
ate disagreed with me. 1 was almost
distracted with nervousness, and so
run down and weak the least exertion
completely exhausted me, and I did
not rest well at night. l had severe
headaches, and the pains in the small
of my back were SO terrible 1 could
hardly stoop over. I tried everything.
but it seemed I just could never re-
gain my strength and health.
But I had not finished the first bot
tie of Tanlac before I noticed my ap-
petite was improving and I could sleep
better at night. I have taken three
bottles now, and my appetite is just
fine. my digestion is perfect, and the
headaches and pains are gone ] have
also gained several pounds. and feel as
we'll and strong as I ever did in my
life. 1 have recommended Tanlac to
mum bers of my friends. and my son Is
taking it now with splendid results. L
believe Tanlac is the most wonderful
medicine in the world"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co, a35 Kansas Ave,
and 729 Kansas Ave.-Adv.

Washington, Jan. 28.-The state de-
partment and California today were

A tentative agreement has been

American ambassador to Toxic. and
Ambassador Shidehara, the mikados
envoy here, on means of settlement
of Japan's protest against the Cali
fornia law prohibiting holding of lank

now before Secretary of State Colby.
Following a conference with Colby,
Senator Phelan of California declared
against the provision of the proposed

School Notes
COURTESY TOWARD CHILDREN

The methods some parents employ to train their children in the virtures we so much admire would seem laughable if they were not so tragic
 No doubt all of our readers know parents who lie to their children to make them truthful; who beat them to make them kind and gentle; who frighten them to make them brave; who shame them to make them self respecting; who are rude and rough toward them to make them polite.
 Perhaps these parents would deny any such accusation, and our state ment may be slightly overdrawn- perhaps they only lie to them to make them brave and only firghten them to make them truthful
 However, we must remember that children are learning all the time and that while we lie to make them brave they may be learning a lesson that will require a beating to unlearn.
 Good manners in children are very much to be desired A we'll man. nered child is always a very pretty compliment to it's mother. Neyerthe- less we have sometimes wondered how much rud buffeting the child had to take from an ill-natured parent in order to acquire such a polished ve- neer of artificial politeness.
 Fortunately most of the noticeable politeness in children nowadays seems to be so real and so natural that we are glad to give full credit to the hOme-the home that didn't spoil them. The uniform sweetness and charm, the thoughtfulness and consideration, of the unspoiled child is one of the most beautiful manifes- tations in nature; but the child who can come through the treatment it receives in the average home and still retains it's natural charms of manner deserves great credit.
 We all want our children to be po- lite and courteous and considerate of others, not only for their own sakes, but because it reflects credit upon us. We want their good manners to be genuine as we want their charac- ter to ring true.
 It behooves us therefore to try to exercise at least as much forbear- ance, courtesy and politeness in the treatment of our children at all times as though they were adults so that they will have reason to treat us and others in the same manner.
 And, if in all our dealings with them, we will try to equal their sweet acquiescence and brave endurance, their lives and our own will be much happier through this fair exchange of courtesy and consideration.-Mo Magazine.
