TEN SUGGESTIONS

WAY TO DIVORCE
Guaranteed to Get Results

81 Untted Press
CHICAGO, April Item sugges-
tons for men on how to break into

Harry Edward Freund of the Ameri-

Following these hints" said Mr..
Freund, land unless your wife is
an angel, you may meet the Judge:
Never hang up your clothes
your wife needs exercise.
"Under no circumstances phone
her during the day--let her know
that she is completely forgotten
when real interests occupy you.
Make Her Beg Money
make her ask you for every
nickel she needs to spend-women
have a knack of finding money.
BE sure to unload all your bust
ness worries on her--she loves to
hear about them.
"Regale her with stories about
your popularity with other women
if you don't, she'll think you're get
ting old.
Park in the most comfortable
chair at night and read, don't con-
verse-quiet is prime requisite in
a well-furnished home.
Never Bring Candy
"Never bring candy home for her
and the children. The family loves
candy and it is good for them-but
don't indulge them.
"Object seriously to going out to
play bridge, to a dance or to a show
let her stay home and mend the
stockings.
Keep your hveliness and gayety
for when you do go out-seeing you
the life of the party will make up
for your being crouch at home.
by all means don't tell her you
love her-shell think you have been
violating the Eighteenth Amend
ment, if you observe the other nine
