PLENTY OF KISSING IS GOOD FOR HER, SAYS JUDGE GRAHAM, TWO KISSES A DAY NOT ENOUGH. j ! j j j j j j j' j (Note: Following is Judge Gra ham's own statement of why and htw a plentiful supply of hubby's kisses will keep the family out of the divorce court. Judge Graham has practiced his preachment so effectively in his court work that he has come to be nationally known s "The Great Re conciler." Thousands of unhappy homes made happy by his kiss recipe are to his credit.

HOW HANDY IT IS TO HAVE IN THE SAME CAN OF WESSON OIL' SUCH A PERFECT SHORTENING, SUCH AN APPETIZING FRYING FAT AND SUCH A DE LICIOUS SALAD OIL? BY THOMAS F. GRAHAM Superior . Court J udge of San Francisco ( Written for the United Press.) When your wife and you fall out, Don't strut about and shout, Don't growl ct her, or scowl at her, or hiss her; You will find it doesn't pay; Try your luck another way; Just take her in your arms and gently kiss her. When your wife and you MUST fight, Make her think she's in the right; Don t rush off to your club, where you will miss her; Should a fight with wifey start You will play the big man's part If you take her in your 'arms and gently kiss her. The kiss of a husband is a pledge of his love for his wife. I have advised men to kiss their wives. J have-not advised wives to kiss their husbands. J The kiss that a wife gives to her ' husband does not mean as much to the ! husband as tho kiss that a husband gives to his wifo. To a husband a kiss is only a kiss. Man only wants to be loved; he isn't particular about being perpetually told that he is being loved. To a wife a kiss is more than the mere meeting of lips. A woman isn't content merely with being loved. She wants to be continually told that she is being loved. A husband is telling and retelling his wife of his love every time he kisses her. A woman is happy every time she is given a reaffirmation of her husband's love with a kiss. A woman who is conscious of her hus band's love will make all necessary sacrifices for her husband, will bear every trial willingly, will strive to avoid every quarrel. A woman is conscious of her husband's love when her husband kisses her frequently. To many wives a kiss only means "good-bye." To others it is only the equivalent of "hello." But the kisses that are given when the husband is not either going or coming mean much more. They aro expressions of love, expressions for which every wife is constantly yearning. I know of only one variety of kiss the kiss of a pure man for a pure woman. I care not whether it be planted on the forehead, the cheek or the lips the kiss of a husband to his wife is the re-pledge, the reaffirma tion of his love. If more husbands would kiss their wives more frequent ly the judges who have to try divorce rases wouldn't be so far behind in their work. And the divorce lawyers would starve to death.

PATTISON BROTHERS GROCERY They Receive $25,000 and Thanks of British Salvage Court As Reward for Courageous Exploit Stay By Their Ship and Bring It to Port. JiV J". W. PE(.LKU (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Feb. 4. (liy Mail) Three American sea heroes are sailing home with $25,000 and the formal thanks of a British salvage court as their reward for one of the most courageous exploits in British maritime history. Thev are Pol) Pergusson, of San Francisco, and Topi Welch and John Smith, of the U. S. A." By a sudden impulse they pledged themselves to stand by one another and the sea-going tug Vigilant, of New York. Battling one of the fiercest gales the Atlantic has ever known the trio refused all aid arid brought their doughty but badly punished little era ft safe into Cardiff. Ferguson told his story to the United Press as he left the salvage court hearing, a man ot independent means A new thing for a cigarette to do 20 for 10c hesterfield CIGARETTES of IMPORTED and DOMESTIC tobaccos-Blended Worms Easily Removed.

"We ran into a rough patch of weather soon aftar leaving New York last October 13," he said. "It made us dodge into Halifax for a day but we reached at. John s on tne i an. That very afternoon we sailed again, with Captain luce and a crew of six teen. 'I was second officer. "We had dirty weather from the start. But as the days passed our coaf grew lighter and we rolled more and more. Four days this lasted. Then, 800 miles off the Irish coast Captain Ince wirelessed for help. Queenstown replied that a iatrol boat was coming but she never did find us. Meanwhile we put out distress signals and sighted a vessel about two miles off. She never even hesitated. ' "On Sunday, the 29th, we ran into the fiercest gale I have ever experi enced in all my years of sea-faring. Captain Ince was afraid wo would turn turtle so he signalled the Holland-American liner Ryndam for help arid gave the order to abandon the ship. "I didn't want to quit so I 'went be low to get volunteers to save the tug. There J found the crew dressed in their shore clothes, with life preser ver under their coats. "They gave me the big k'.ugh thought I was kidding. I passed them up and went into the engine room. There was- Welch, getting ready to leave. "I looked him straight in the eye. 'Welch,' I said, 'you told me yester day you were no bar-troom sailor. Now's your chance to prove it.' He didn't say anything just stuck out his hand and we shook. Then we got Smith and the three of us told the captain we were going to stick. "The Ryndam came tumbling along. Captain Ince and the rest went off in a boat still calling us fools and the last we saw of the liner passengers were at her rails giving us a last cheer. Welch went down to the engines, Smith took care of the fires and I took the bridge. We had no food; I just chewed tobacco. At last we sighted the Scotch vessel, Klying Fox which sent us six men to repair a break-down in nur steering gear. Aft er that it was comparatively easy to reach Cardiff." Pergusson made just as hard a fight for his salvage. The ship's own ers wanted to give him $100(1 and an inscribed go!d watch and $!i00 to each of the seamen. Kcrgusson replied "nothing doing" i;nd fought his case in court. He received $12,500 and Welch and Smith $li,500 each. About Constipation. Certain articles of diet tend to check movement of the bowels. The most common o f these are cheese, tea ' t and boiled milk. On the other haUd ! raw fruits especially apples and ba- l nanns, also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bowels. When the bowels are bad ly constipaated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlaln'a Tablets immediately after supper.

Keep Your Eye On Palmer Lands The last five sales have been from residents who reside away from Grande Itonde valley. It apparently is the same old story: Home people as a rule do not realize the opportunities that are here. The first 6ettlers of this valley did not appreciate the value of that large fertile" tract we now call the Sandridge. It was the very last land in the valley to be occupied. A few years from now not a few of those who read these lines will state: "I did not know that Palmer valley would ever be the prosperous country it is." It will be too late then. The opportunity is now. No experiment. Many families have already demonstrated the productiveness of the soil. You know the location, near railroad, near Elgin, adjoining a forest reserve, which means cheap range for stock and free fuel for all time. Come in and let us reason together. Geo. H.
