The month of April has seen the
usual activities going on In the Thrift
Shop, with a little less help than for
merly on account of outside work
opening up for Its coterie of helpers.
On April 2rd the manager met with
the Women's Association of the Pres
byterian church and gave an explana
tory talk about the Thrift Shop, show
ing garments which had been made
over there while the ladies tied off
two quilts and sewed for the Bhop.
They have also agreed to sew for the
shop at some future date.
The manager also went to Phoenix
on April 19th and gave a talk to the
Presbyterian Ladles' Aid there and
showed some of the attractive articles
which had been made In the shop. The
ladles evinced much Interest and
agreed to do some sewing l'or the shop
and also give a comforter to help sup
ply the demands made upon the shop
during tho next winter. It is hoped
that each church will undertake to
supply at loast one article of bedding
for the same purpose.
During the month new shelves were
built In one room, which added much
to tfca neatness of the room, and the
ease with which the stock was han
dled.
Quito a number of people have come
Into the shop during the month in
answer to the newspaper articles and
the various talks made, just to see
I what could be used In the shop and
went away convinced that a great
work was being done there and that
everything which they could send
would serve a useful purpose.
On April llth we had a big sale of
shoes at 25c per pair and many came
and bought shoes for friends in the
country on that day.
On April 12th the manager went to
Gold Hill with the secretary to see
about a case there.
During the month Phoenix hnd a
drive for discarded garments and Mrs.
Corning Kenly very kindly brought
thorn to Medford, u
During the month two ladies from
distant points in tho county came Into
tbe shop and discussed with the man
ager the advisability of bringing a
varied assortment of Thrift Shop
stock to some central location in these
remote districts on a special day set
apart for that district and sell the
goods there to these people who so
seldom can get to town.
On April 28th we had a counter sale
of goods.
Donations to the shop during April
were from Mesdames Welch on Mis
tletoe street. Louis Snlade, Sr., H.
Janes, Diddle, Ed Gore, J. C. Mann,

E '
DOUBLE SINCE 1913
PARIS Divorces have doubled In
France since the war, according to
figures made public recently. A gen
eral divorce law was first passed In
France In 1884,-nnd in the year there
were 1657 divorces.
In 1913 the number of divorces was
15.372. In 1919. when the armies
were being disbanded and people
were free to put their houses In
order, this number reached 19,-465.
In 19,20 it reached'31.466, In 1921 the
number was 30,498, and the past year
30.763.
The causes of this Increase of di
vorces are not tabulated, due to the
secrecy of court proceedings relating
to family affairs.
However, the general causes are in-
fldullty, desertion ind the slow
breaking up of tlio family tie during
mo war, with tbe greater freedom
that has conio td'Women who began
to earn their living' during the war.
Both sexes, it is enld, have lost In
some measure their Benoa of moral
responsibility. Another cause given
is nervousness growing out of the
wnr. mnklng both sexes less able to
bear tho restraints and trials of mar
ried life. Vet another cause Is the
tolerance of the courts nnd the ease
with which divorces may be obtained,
one factor of which is the cheapness
of the decree, obtained through law
yers, who. in recent years, have begun
to advertise: "Divorce In three
months on credit,' nnd no payment
unless decree obtained."

Prescription for Kidney

Read this extract from a very re
markable letter: "My mother suf
fered so much from kidney trouble,
her body being so swollen she could
hardly breathe. Her legs and feet
were as large as three legs and they
were so hot and burned so she kept
them all summer in a pan of water.
We read In a newspaper how good
Dr. Carey's Marshroot Prescription
was and got her a bottle. Bho soon
began to get better and went down
to her own size. Her legs went down
too. She feels soj good when she
takes It. Her skin was so yellow, but
since she has taken Marshroot, she is
so white and looks so much better.
We are all taken up with Marshroot,
for it lias saved our mother's life,
for her doctor said nothing could be
done for her. She was 62 years old
and was so filled up with water."
(Mrs.) S. C. (Name and address on
