Mrs. Belmont Keeps
To Silence on ROta's
Word on Annulment

S. S. Berengaria, Nov. rs - (P) -
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, Europe
bound, today reiterated her refusal
to comment on the revelations made
through publication of the Holy
Rota's sentence annulling the mar
riage of her daughter. the former
Consuelo Vanderbilt, and the Duke
of Marlborough.
She declined to discuss the asser
ton in the sentence that she had
coerced her daughter into breaking
her. secret engagement with Winth-
rop Rutherford in 1895 and thei
compelled her to marry the duke.
Plainly preoccupied, Mrs. Belmont
takes her meals alone at small
table not far from that Of. Captain
Rostron, with whom Queen Marie
and her son and daughter partook OF
a Thanksgiving luncheon today.
Mrs. Belmont avoids all the other
passengers and spends considerable
time alone In the salon, reading.

chivaIry-More r; an Manners

Chivalry is something beyond man
ners-a finesse of conduct which has
romance in it, generosity of spirit
which gives more than the occasion
strictly demands. The tradition of
it we find most often among soldiers.
with whom it began, and we find ii
among sailors In hatred of war
and our fear of what is militaristic
there is some danger that we may
forget the virtues which are soldierly.
The supposed importance of sports in
education lies in the hope, only a
hope as yet, that competition SO
relatively harmless may train toward
the chivalrous ide.l. In few games,
such as tennis, W do keep the OPP
ponent's score and we try to make
our mistakes. if at all. in his favor.
In most games, however. We need
watching, and an umpire is provided
not to see that we are chivalrous but
reasonably honest We are at our
worst in our national game, which
we play with as little chivalry as
though it We're business.-By John
Erskine, from Delineator for Mo-

OF the population for the United
States as whole represents an av-
erage of rates in the individual states
ranging from so in Delaware and
81 in Wisconsin to 1853 in Maryland
ana 1873 in Florida. In general the
changes in the number Of marriages
per LOCO OF the population, as shown
in the table on page 2, form a more
satisfactory index of the trend with
regard to marriage in the several
states than do the absolute figures
or the numebr of marriages because
they take account OF differences in
the rate of increase in the general
population. The reader who wishes
to make an intensive study of the
subject is therefore referred r. this
table
The net increase of 81 per cent in
the number of divorces granted in
the United States during the year
1925, as compared with the year 1924,
is the net resultant of changes in the
various states ranging from decreas-
es of 29.5 per .ent in Nebraska and
23.1 per cent in Rhode Island to in
creases of 22.9 per cent in Utah and
I'll per cent in Florida.
Other states showing considerable
decreases in the number of divorces
were Massachusetts, with a decrease
of 1872 per cent; Louisiana, with a
decrease of 8 per cent; California,
with decrease of Sc per cent; and
Minnesota, with a decrease of 46 per
cent. Other states showing consid-
/, cradle increases inclr- e New Jersey,
with an increase of 1863 per cent:
Delaware, with an increase of 1863
per cent; Wyoming, with an increase
1876 per cent; North Dakota, with an
increase of 1914 per cent; and Missi-
ssippi, with an increase of 16 per
cent.
The average rate of 1.52 divorces
per 1000 of the population, which is
shown for the United States as a
whole, likewise represents an aver
age of rates in the individual states
ranging from 0.41 in New York and
0.65 in New Jersey to 1898 in Nevada
and 3. in Oregon.
The table includes the number of
marriages and divorces for Maine for
both 1925 and 1924, with the per
centage of increase or decrease and
the number per 1000 of the popula-
ton for two years. TlN figures for
1925 are preliminary al | subject to
correction.

Inc text was taken from the 116th

shal render unto the Lord for ALI
His benefits toward me?" Mr. youns
called TO mind many of the material
blessings that are continually coming
to us as individuals and nation
which should call forth our gratitude
70 Almighty God Who is the giver of
all good gifts. Special emphasis was
lald upon the spiritual blessings sfor
winch we should be thankful. both
those OF the present and those indicat
ed py prophets and apostles in the fu-
ture 1fe Speaking of the beauties of
nature and of the greater beauties of
the life beyond, Mr.. Young gave a
beautiful illustration taken from an
early morning scene on Mount Katah-
din and the effect on the one who he
held It, causing him to fall on his
knees and thank God for such beauty.
Ihen he spoke of Moses beholding the
promised land.
Another thing TO be thankful for
was the shielding from disaster such
as befell the people of the south a
few months ago, to the miners entomb-
ed. Again We should be thankful for
such favorable surroundings and the
freedom from temptation which has
often been so overpowering to many
of our fellows speaking of the expert
ence of one young man who had spent
much OF his time in prison and, feeling
that his life was so beset by sin that
1t was impossible for HIM to live de-
cent, begged that he be sent to the
electric chair to end his unfortunate
life.
The message was timely, practical.

called out for this duty, but at last
accounts no bears had been killed.
For good while until a few years
ago very few sheep had been raised
in this section, but since the Frank
lin County Farm Bureau was organ
lied, the sheep industry has been re-
vived, has become quite an import
ant branch of the farming of Frank
lin County, and it is great disap-
pointment that it should receive such
a setback as this. for the stock kill
ed Is Of the best, and although the
farmer is reimbursed the stock lost
in this manner can be replaced only
with great difficulty and expense, if
at all, and the whole industry suf-
fers accordingly.
Sheep have been killed at widely
separated points, new killings are re-
ported almost every day, and it ap-
pears that the bears generally, which
are said to be very numerous this
year, are fond of mutton.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, sourness ana Pain
How to Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine-tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning
gas, bloating, nausea. etc, are due 10
an excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach and not as some believe to
lack of digestive juices. The delicate
stomach lining is irritated. digestion
is delayed and food sours, causing the
disagreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestants are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids AMI
instead get from any druggist few
ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take
teaspoonful in a quarter glass of
water right after eating. This sweet
ents the stomach, prevents the lorna

sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Mag

the stomach, inexpensive to taxa and

for stomach purposes. 1t is used BY
thousands of people who enjoy their
