Use of Rhubarb
Important for
Balanced Diet

From a botanical standpoint. rbu-
barb is not a fruit, although its
great and general usage might tend
| TO give IL place among the fruits.
| Due to its acid content, rhubarb has
a delicious, piquant flavor which is
| important for the reason that it
stimulates the flow of digestive
| juices.
The ash content of rhubarb is
high and it is also rich in the food
elements known as Vitamines b
and c, which have the effect of slim
ulating the appetite and eliminating
scurvy.
Home economists strongly recon-
mend the use of rhubarb in the
preparation of spring menus. The
following recipes have been evolved
to supplement the housewives favor

l often receive inquiries from house
wives who wish to know if it is pos
sible to use the table stove in cooking
meals for more than two people. This
mistaken idea behind this question
needs to be corrected at once. ! have
used the grill for preparing dinners
for four people three and four times
a week for nearly two years, and have
cooked sufficient quantity of cream
ed foods such as chicken, salmon, and
lobster to serve as many as six per-
sons for luncheon or supper. This
will be easily possible after you have
grown quite accustomed to handling
the appliances and timing the cooking.

R. v. CHILD SUES
FOR DIVORCE

Richard waatburn Child, former
ambassador to italy and one of
the most prominent figures in
Washington's social and diplomatic
life, has filed suit for divorce from
Maude Parker Child, well known
writer. it was disclosed today by
the records of the Monroe County
pa Court of Common Pleas.
! The cause for the divorce action
is wrapped in mystery, the papers
having been impounded by Mr..
Child's attorneys. It is known,
however. that Mrs. Child spent
last winter and spring in Paris,
and that when she returned to
this country only few weeks ago
she did not join her husband.
The pretentious home Of the
ChiIds', at 1773 Massachusetts, Ave.
N. w, scene of many a brilliant
social function, Is closed for the
summer. The wher eabouts Of Mrs.
Child Is unknown, but it Is be-
lieved Child is at the exclusive
summer colony at Buckhill Falls,
Pa.
Court records disclose that the
divorce action was filed June %,
and further, that Mrs. Child has
been ordered to appear the sec.
ond week In September and answer
the charges made against her by
her husband.
It has been known for some
time among q small circle Of Wash.
t. &mfA ESA1eA
were in disagreement. 1t was not
thought, however, that the under
lying causes were such rs to
prompt Child to take the initiative.
News of the divorce action to-
day came on Child's forty-seventh
birthday.
Both Noted Writers
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Child are
well known in the literary world
as critics and as contributors. Mrs.
Child now has on the press a
book on the gossipy phases of
diplomatic life, based on observa-
tons during her sojourn abroad.
Mr.. Child is writer on political
and social topics. Only last Friday
he was called to President Cool
idge's summer camp to discuss
with the President questions reiat-
ing to Italy and other continental
countries.
Among the social writings of Mr.
Childs is a series of articles on the
growth OF the institution of mar
riage, and a scholarly castigation
and satiriation Of the present mar
riage laws:
Marriage "ToO Easy"
In a recent article on marriage.
published only a few months ago.
Child said:
"The practical situation is that
modern marriage regulation-the
ease with which hasty marriages
can be made. the perplexing diver
sity of obligations and rights In
the various jurisdictions, and TIE
absurd differences in ceremonial;
forms-throws the solemnity OF
civil marriage into the arena OF
ridicule. 1t may be a much larger
contribution to our galloping di
sorce record than we know"
The Childs have two children
both little girls, who were with
their mother in Paris during the
winter.
