Divorce Ends Romance
After Wife Buys lO4
Suits in a Single Yea,
Husband Finds Mate Spent $4,000,
His Life Savings, in Shopping
Tours, Her Only Sport.

Because his wife bought two new
suits week during an entire year,
completely demoralizing his savings
OF lifetime, Joseph Hart, owner OF
bus line running out OF Medtord,
Mass, has obtained a divorce. In ad-
dition to the 100 suits, the husband
charged, Mrs Hart purchased lot OF
dresses, house gowns, and fur coats
and kept a tailor busy altering her
clothing.
Hart met his wife, Estella, in res
taurant The man had two mother
less children, and the restaurant wait
ress impressed him as kind woman,
Hart worked from dawn to mid
night, he said, and while at home was
so tired that all he cared to do was to
sleep. His wife, not interested in
clubs bridge parties and shows, went
shopping during her spare moments.
Too late Hart began checking up.
Then he found that something like
$4,000 had been spent, and his wife
had no less than six trunks damned
full of clothes.
Mrs. Hart, accused OF being a
sbend-thrift, sought a divorce. and her
husband went to court too. There he
made the startling disclosure OF the
suit-buying mania of his wife. Even
the Judge was startled. AS a result
Mrs. Hart was divorced. Now, she
admits. she has left only about so OF
the 104 suits she bought in a single
year.

Drink Water to
Help Wash Out
Kidney Poison
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Begin
Taking Salts

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore don't get scared and pro-
coed to load your stomach with lot OF
drugs that excite the kidneys and lrri-
tate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with
mild, harmless salts which helps to re-
move the body's urinous waste and slim
ulates them to their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to filter
the blood. In "a hours they strain from
it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital impor-
lance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts ;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and stimu-
late clogged Kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they are no
longer a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which everyone
should take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this; also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and back
ache. By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
year,

Hairy Vetch (Vicia Vlzosa)
Experiment Station.

Georgia Experiment Stauon.
Unless hairy vetch is inoculated
with the proper bacteria it does not
succeed. A field which has success
fully grown the crop in the last three
or four years does not need inocula-
ton. A new field can be inoculated
by scattering 80 to 400 younds OF soil
from an old vetch field over it just be-
fore seeding or artificial culture may
be used. This can be obtained from
most seedsmen or from the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Atlanta, Georgia.
Under present conditions in Georgia
hairy vetch probably fits best IN the
rotation after cotton. A good three
wear rotation is as follows;
First year-Cotton with vetch in the
middles for green manure.
Second year-Corn with cow peas,
soy beans or velvet beans.
Third year-Small grains followed
bv COW peas or soy beans
No fertilizer is needed for vetch in
this rotation provided the cotton has
been literally fortified. Where this
is not the case, apply 200 to 400
pounds of acid phosphate. Phosphate
is the element usually lacking in our
soils for growing vetch, and it is inn
portant to see that it is literally sup
piled.
The best time to cut for hay is when
the first pods are full grown but not
filled out. When sown by itself vetch
is hard to NOW and difficult to cure.
For this reason oats are usually sown
with it. When this is the case the
crop should be cut when the oats are
in the milk or very soft dough stage.
When the vetch is harvested for seed
the crop should be cut as soon as the
first pods are ripe.
Vetch is the surest of all our winter
legume crops. Where the vetch is
properly inoculated, sown at the prop
er time and supplied with phosphates
it is a easily grown as any OF our
small grains.

m M ANY, many times / have been
Mn asked, what is a hooked
Av rug? 1t is not made by
crocheting or what some folks call
hooking The name is derived
from the instrument or hook which
pulls the strips Of material through
the burlap on which the design has
been drawn or stamped. In some
parts of the country they are called
pulled" rugs, because the strips are
pulled through the burlap to make
the design.
Several Types of Rugs.
There are several types of hooked
rugs, and their manner of construc-
ton, though similar, requires some
explanation. These are the looped,
the clipped and variation of the
clipped, generally spoken ofsas "tuft-
ed" because the stitches are put in
very close together and the design is
raised above the background in tufts.
The LoOped Rug.
This is the most common type OF
hooked rugs. The strip is pulled
through the burlap just high enough
to make a. loop, the cloth or strip
being held taut under the canvas to
keep the stitch just completed from
being drawn out when the next
stitch is taken. Different workers
have their own ideas about the
length of their stitches on the wrong
side. When the loops are not drawn
too far through, the quality of the
work is firner and more even.
A Clipped Rug.
A clipped rug is made of wool, al
though it could be made of cotton. 1t
is better made of wool. When this
type is made the stitches or loops
are drawn up longer and as the work
progresses the loops are clipped off
with sharp scissors given
shave" as some workers call the
process.
1t is not much use to clip cotton
rug, because the strands do not sep
arate and form a nice, furry surface,
as clipped wool does. 1 recently
saw quaint little clipped wool mat
of rather uncommon type. The tex
ture, as well as the pattern, of this
rug was quite similar to that of the
heavier type OF Asiatic rugs. 1t was
of all-wool and clipped. The surface
