Y., she married . for the secom t- time. She and her second husband Myron C. - Andrews, lived togethe until 1896, when as she alleged, be cause of his cruel treatment, she lef him. In 1904 Mrs. Andrews moved t Calgary, Alta. In 1907 she was ir ormed by reliable sources that Ar drews had died.

St ABOUT SUICIDES An alarming increase last year in the number of suicides in America is reported by the Save-a-Life j League, an organization -which itf at-1 tempting to grapple with this problem, which becomes greater as society becomes more complex aind people more sophisticated. The society lists twelve thousand suicides during the year, and a distressing feature being that seven hundred and seven were children. The most trival circumstances, dissatisfaction with clothes, or food, quarrels over ventilation, or the like slight domestic contrarities, are listed among the immediate impelling occasions of many suicides, although behind these apparently trifling out :uurai<s 4/IIC1C die UUUUUC99 1119" to'ries of domestic frictions, strained nerves, incompatibility and "temperament." While no basic cause is assigned Iby the statisticians of suicide for last year's increase, both prohibition and the rigid restriction on narcotics are among the things considered contributing causes.. What society can do about this increasingly serious problem is not easy to say. Recourse to the law that ready weapon of the social reformer, is, of course out of the question, although statutes which punish A atternps at suicide have found defenders in spite of their apparent absurdity. vUnquestionably a weakening of religious belief in many persons is to Iblame for many suicides. The Almighty's canons against self slaughter, which stayed Hamlet's hand, have deterred many persons in des perate straits in tfce past from taking the irrevocable step. Weakening of the old spirit of family pride in many has removed another strong inhibitve influence against self-murder. To use a word familiar by the war lack of morale is at the bottom of the problem. Old fashioned religious convictions, greater self-respect, firmer self and family discipline, healthy relaxation, and cultivation of cheerfulness seem the most adequate counter-influences.?Philadelphia Bulletin.

MI Qi DEMISE OF MARRIAGE IMMINENT SAYS SCIENTIST Paris, July 16.?Old maids are go- S ing to rule the world within another 5 generation and when that happens all v, sensible men, looking for happy ex- p istences, will try to flee this earth b and try out the planet mars. This is the opinion of Professor p Girault, probably the best known j ? French authority in political economy j r who. has just addressed his beliefs to i , the University of Poitiers. "Women are going to assume, lead- j ^ ership, particularly in Europe for j; the next hundred years," says Pro-, * fessor Giratalt. "This does not mean ? that civilization is becoming effeminate, nor does it result simply from j the fact that women will be numeri- j cally stronger. But there are too ^ nany women for the marriageable males and hundreds of thousands of ^ chem are being compelled to make ill-assorted marriages in which the ! man, iii nearly every case, is the ( weaker partner. "In that way women are gaining the ascendancy and it is a certainty that any society ruled by women will * lack intellectual course, logic and ( initiative. Women married to men j who are their inferiors will become embittered with life. Their experience ^ will discourage other women who are \ thinking of marriage. Presently we i will find a whole body of women, 1 | LOWEST PRICES.. ^ BE! J! >" Cleanliness .. .. ;]; Steak, pound ;)|/ . % Roast, pound j!> Stew Meat, p?und ? Pork Chop*, pound ?
