Chronic rheumatism may come
from some focal infection in the

of the colon caused by constipation.
In fact, infections of the colon may
be found to be the chief cause of
chronic rheumatic infections. If such
a cause is the source of the rheumatic

Everyday Law Cases

When Mabel Spencer was divorced
from her husband. the court ordered
him to pay her $50 per month alimony.
Some time later. Mrs. Spencer filed
an affidavit in court alleging that
Spencer was six months in arrears
with his alimony, although Spencer
was and had been amply able to com
ply with the order. Spencer was
thereupon cited to show cause before
the court why he should not be pun.
ished for contempt. AT the hearing
Spencer was found guilty and was
committed to Jail until the amount of
alimony due should be paid.
Thereupon Spencer's attorney filed
an appeal. declaring that Spencer's
Imprisonment was illegal as it was
contrary to a statute exempting per-
sons from Imprisonment for debt. In
addition he declared, Spencer was
actually unable to pay the alimony.
But the court, finding the evidence
to show that Spencer was able to pay,
refused to disturb the Jail sentence,
declaring:
1.-THE general rule is that alimony
is not debt within the meaning of
statutes or constitutions which pro.
hibit Imprisonment for debt, and the
disobedience of an order awarding
alimony is punishable as a contempt
of court. 1t is true, however that for
the husband to be guilty of contempt,
the refusal to pay must be willful and
the attachment of his person will not
be granted where he is bona fide un-
able to pay"

WINDSOR CHAIRS OUTLINE.

Windsor chairs have grace of line
and simplicity of construction that
combine to give sense of reStfuineSS
just TO look at them. They are free
from gewgaws in ornament and en-
traneous establishment, which. unless
of choice workmanship. detract from
so many of the more preteEtiouS styles
of chairs.
The distinguishing features of Wind
sor chairs are delicate spindle backs
and arms when the latter are present.,
slender legs that spread apart. some
times a trifie and sometimes widely,
from seat to ends. and shapely stretch
ers. that hold the legs firmly apart
and vet bind them together because
of the strong method of fitting each
tin into its precise hole in the leg.
Frequently an added piece is found
that joins the stretchers midway be-
tween the legs.
Backs Variable.
The shape of the backs is variable.
The curved one is perhaps most ia
miliar 1t forms the contour of the
back and sides. for it extends entirely
about the spindles of the back like Il
graceful loop. When there are arms
a second circle fits about the spindles,

the arms, and at correct height to
form the arm rests. Spindles similar
to those in the back fasten the arm
rests to the chair seat.
The "Ccmb" Back

inches above the others and are
crowned with a top rim. The comb

Rockers.
A different type of chair is found in
the Windsor rocker that has a rather
low seat and a quantity shaped low

chair as mothers chair. 1t is just the
chair to have used by the low-hooded
wooden cradles of by-gone times. Then
rocking. with its rhythmic motion, was
considered soothing to infants. So
the mother could rock the baby in her
arms as she sat in such a chair by the
cradle. and then gently put the baby

Shutters inside the room were not
uncommon in old houses of the
Georgian period. Their first purpose
was for defense against an enemy
and protection against cold and wind.
They were made possible by the deep
reveals of the windows. and were de-
signed to fold back into the window

for shades or other provisions for
privacy at night.
The composition Of the Georgian
windows contributed much to the
beauty and dignity of the rooms they
graced. Indeed, they were SO hand
some that they were often left en-
tirely uncurtained. Often, as here
shown, the inside shutters were made
in two sections, so that either the
lower or upper part Of the window
could be screened separately if desired.

Rhythm of Rocking.
The adult who finds the rhythm of
slow swinging in a hammock soothing
can well sympathize with its similar
effect on an infant. Perhaps as times
change rocking a baby gently will
again resume its once favored place,
although now taboo. If that time does
come the return of the low Windsor
rocker as mothers nursery chair will
be assured. Today these chairs are
apt to be shorn of their rockers, and
then they are admirable sewing chairs

French call the low comfortable chair

War On Ticket
Exchangers
Railroad Causes Arrest And
Fine of SIS For One
Offender
USE TICKETS OF
SHORT LIFE

Railroads that run to the South
Jersey shore resorts have opened
war on the practice OF private in
dividuals selling or exchanging rail
road tickets. This is common
practice in all of the resorts and
many storekeepers or real estate
men conduct such exchanges for
the accommodation of their patrons,
and do not profit thereby.
Judge Eldredge. in the Cape May
County Court, fined such an of
fender SIS on complaint of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Heretofore
the railroads have caused few
arrests and then the crusade ends,
but this season say they will con-
tinue to issue warrants for af-
tenders.
Exchanging tickets by hotel
guests is largely carried on. A guest
whose ticket is about to expire will
seek an exchange of tickets with
some guest whose ticket has more
days of life and the holder of which
wishes to return within the life of
the ticket held by the other guest.
The storekeepers and real estate
men who maintain exchanges will
buy return coupon and sell it at
cost as an accommodation. Holders
of tickets that have much life left
will often exchange such tickets for
those that are near expiration when
they desire to make an immediate
return home.
