fiM* Wives mt r*rtter Presidents .re
Vary Much Alive i
1
(From The Pathfinder)
The strain of occupying the White
House does not seem to be as hard
on women as on men. Whereat - we
Hav# only one ex-president in the
fltab there are half a doaen living
wives of former presidents.
First there is the active Mrs. Calvin
Ouolidge who, according to reports,
when not advertising chocolate at
Northampton, Maes., writes prose and
verse fpr the press, besides looking
after Cal generally. Mrs. Coolidgo
will be remembered as one of the
most popular "First Ladies" to ever
grace the White House.
The present Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
was the War President's second
wife. HLs first wife died at the
White House in 1914. Fourteen
months later he married Edith Boiling
Gait, wealthy widow of a Wash
ington jeweler. (Mrs. Gait was one
of three sisters and was bom at
Wytheville, Va., in 1872. By his first
wjfe Mr. Wilson had three children?
Margaret, singer and single to whom
he left an annuity of $2,500 and the
rest of his $000,000 estate to his
widow and other daughters?Jessie
who was married at the White House
to Francis B. Sayrc, law professor at
Harvard; arid Eleanor, who was also
married there to Secretary of tho
Treasury William G. McAdoo.
Theodore Roosevelt, too, was twice
married. His first wife died in 1884.
He took his second wife in 1886. She
was Miss Edith Kermit Curow and
was born in New York in 1861. They
had five children?Quentin, who met
a hero's death in the war; Theodore
jr., now governor of Porto Rico; Kermit,
president of the Roosevelt Steamship
Co.; Archibald, ahd Ethel Carow,
the latter now Mrs. Richard Derby,
wife of a New Yor)c surgeon.
Alice Roosevelt (widow of Spenke:*
Nicholas Long-worth) yas born of
Roosevelt's first marriage. Though
former President Roosevelt died a
dozen years ago his widow, who does
much traveling, never appears in public
without mourning clothes, even to
the long flowing veil.
Mrs. William Howard Taft was
formerly Helen Herron, one of the
eight-children of Judge John W. Ilevron,
a law partner of Proaident
lfayes. Married in 1886, she is ?
musician, has a contralto voice and
founded the Cincinnati Orchestra.
She inherited most of the Taft estate,
estimated at $350,QOO. Their
only daughter, Hcien, is acting president
of Bryn !Mawr college, and is
the wife of Frederick J. Manning, a
professor there. Her two sons, Robert
Alphonso and Charles Phelps
Taft 2nd are lawyers.
In 1806, after he had left the White
House, President Benjamin Harrison
took his second bride," Mts; Mary
Scott Dimmick, widow of a lawyer
who died and the niece of his first
wife who died in 1802. . However, i
' the Ai'iond?Mrs.?Haiiisou hud spent:
! two years at the White House dur-'
; ing the life of her aunt, the first
Mrs. Harrison. By his first wife
I President Harrison had two children,
I Russell, a mining engineer and writ!
er, and Mary, the wife of James R.
MlcKee, nn Indianapolis merchant.
There was only one child of the sec1
nrwL buuwUoa.. VALxaheth- wluv in 1

whom she married in 1313, is the
widow of Grover Cleveland, who died
in 1908. Her father was Cleveland's

Uncle Sam. In addition, Mrs. Roosevelt
gets an annuity from the Carnegie
Foundation for being a president's
widow as also does Cleveland s
widow, though the lacker asked that
the -government not pension her*
Cause of her remarriage. Mrs. Harding,
having been leftr, nearly $350,000
by her husband, did not need a pension.
-Mrs. Taft has yet to be granted
a pension. Congress granted pensions

HONEY IS VALUABLE FOOD
Kershaw Oftnty Farmers Are Increasing
Their Production
V '
Every farm home in Kershaw
county should keep a few hives of
bees, give them good attention and
thereby produce this food which has
much value for human food. A good
supply of honey will cut down materially
on the amount of sugar to be
purchased for the family.
Honey is one of the best of the
high energy-producing foods, says the
United States Department of Agriculture.
'Because it is composed almost
entirely of simple sugars it
car be assimilated with ease. Most
sugars require action by the gastric
and Intestinal secretions to break
them down into simple sugars similar
to those occurring naturally in
honey:
?Because?It?is?easily?ussfiinlluuwl,
honey is of importance where normal
digestive activities have been impaired
by disease or old age. Honey
can be utilized by the body without
placing much of a burden on an enfeebled
digestive tract and is also recognized
ks a valuably food for babies
and young children.
Honev ia esDeciullv good in the
diet of athletes. The rapids absorp-:
tion of the simple sugars of honey
replaces the sugars in the blootf and
muscles that have been burned by
strenuous exercise.
