DIVORCE IS VERY
SERIOUS PROBLEM
(From the Irish World)
United States Senator Itamsdell,
of Loulsiaoa, la a speech In the
Senate, la Introducing m resolution
proposing an amendment to the Con
stitution, that , "Absolute .dlvrce
wun me right to re-marry shall not
be permitted In the United Stiles,
or within any place wlthm their Jur
isdiction; uniform luws In regard to
marriage, and to teparatlou
without pormlHslou to remarry, shall
bf enacted lor the United States and
all places subject toNtbem and Con
tress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate lug.Ma
tiio, ' said:
At tl.U tiiuo I deeui It necessary
to make only a brief observation on
the treat evil of divorce. Tlio re
medy by constitutional prohibition
it drastic, but the milady Is so fa
tal that nothing- i-h tt of It will prov
efficacious. '
Practically everyone who has civ
en the subject the slightest fctudy
admits that divorce Is one of the
most serious problems confronting
our Itepubilc. In the United States
divorce I spreading with alarming
rapidity. It has premeated every
walk of life and la prevalent among
every class of people. The total
umber of divorces granted In 1887
was MIS, or 17 per cent per 100,
000 population. Forty years later
la 1906, there were 72, 062 divor
cee, or 86 per 100,000; thus In ac
tual numbers, there were more than
seven times as many divorces grant
ed la 1806 aa In 1867, or, allowing
for the Increased population, divorce
has Increased 819 per cent. To put
It In another way, In 1867 there wan
one divorce for every 3,6(6 people,
while In 1906 there was 1 for every
1. 162.
If divorces multiply nt the unnio
rate In the future as In the pant j
and tiii-ro In every Indication that
they will Increaitn fattier then, be- j
fore tho middle of this century, we j
will have annually In the I'nlt.fl
States 276 divorces per 100,000 pop
ulation, or I divorce for every 5
marrluKi'H.
Our cIohc-nI competitors In Ktircitr;
are Switzerland, with 41 dlvriiM
annually per 100,000 population;
Hungary with SS, and France with
83, according to the statistics for
1910 and 1911, while Japan ha Kit
divorcee to our 86. 'To make a in-st
striking comparison, during 1901
the total number of divorces grant
ed In the United States was more
than twice as great as la all the rest
of Christendom combined; yes act
ually more than two times as many
divorces among 70,000,000 Ameri
cans that year as among 400,000,000
souls of Europe and other Chrlstaln
countries.
England stands In bold contrast
with this country. In 1911 she
granted a total of only 665 divorces,
or 1 1-8 per 100,000; while In the
United States allowed 72, 062 divor
ces, or 86 per 100,000. During the
20 years ending with 1906 Iroland
had only 19 divorces, or an aveiage
of less than one absolute divorce
per year for her population of ,-
600,000.
If the United States were to write
in the Constitution an Amendment
prohibiting absolute divorce It would
not be taking such a radical step as
might at first be thought, but would
be following a beaten path.
The State of North Carolina all
honor be he forbids divorce. It Is
abnolutely forbidden In Italy, 8pain,
and two-thirds of the population of
Austria Hungary, while the Lntln
Amerlcan countries of Mexico, Ar
gentine Republic, Drazll, Peru, Chile
and others have similar laws. A le
gal separation, however, without the
right to remarry. Is recognized In all
of these Jurisdictions. In Canada
the important provinces of Quebec
Ontario, Newfoundland, and the
Northwest Territories have no di
vorce law, though divorce may be
obtained by an art of the Canadian
Parliament. From 1867 to 1909 a
period of 4 2 years those provinces
had only 140 abnolute divorces.
It cannot bo gainsaid that divorce
dextroys the home, and the home In
the hiinn and foundation of the state;
hence wo must utcp divorce or ruin
the Plata, which cannot continue to
exlnt If It ba:;o In allowed to crum
bin and full.
While many excellent people nrr
divorced, iitid Home of them make
new homcii, the Inevitable trend of
divorce In to brenk up many more
honieit t!i un it builds up. and to mil
terlnlly reduce the number of child
ren. When marrlace Ik dlns.,lvcd the
true homo ceases to exint, the par
ents and children arc separated, and
the seet ties that bind father and
mother to their offspring and to each
tther are broken forever.

looked upon marriage as sscrel nJ

Rexall Dysprpsia Tablets, in addition
to other ingredient, contain Pepsin and
Bismuth, two great digestive aids used by
the entire medical profession. They
soothe the inflamed stomach, check the
heartburn and distress, stimulate a
healthy secretion of the gastric juice,
aid in rapid and comfortable digestion
of the food and help to quickly convert
it into rich red blood, and thereby into
flesh, bone and muscle. They relieve
stomach distress promptly, and, used
regularly for a short time, tend to re
store the stomach to a comfortable,
easy-acting, healthy state. They aid
greatly to promote regular bowel action.
Don't neglect indigestion, for it fre
quently leads to all porta of ills and com
plications. Tbe pain and discomfort is
not the most unfortunate part. The fact
that when the stomach is not acting
right, the material needed to repair the
wastes that are constantly taking place
In the body is not being given to the blood
either in the proper condition or fast
enough is far more scrims. Nothing
will cause more trouble than an unhealthy
stomach. The blues, debility, lack of
strength and energy, constipation, bil
iousness, headaches and scores of other
serious ailments result from the failure
of the stomach to properly do its work.
Our willingness to have you use Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets entirely at our risk
proves our faith in them. We always
sell them this Way, and it is because
we know that they have greatly ben
efited scores of sufferers to whom

LAKEVIEW, OREGON
The Portland Telegram offers the
following pertinent suggestions re
garding the tax question:
Paying taxes this year Is causing
more howls and complaints than us
ual. In tbe first place they are too
high.
In the second place, there is a py
ramiding penalty ' for every month
that they are not paid.
In the third place, money Is
scarce.
And In the fourth, fifth, sixth and
other places, it is not contended that
there is really ur need of dumping
all that tax money Into the County
Treasury In a lump when the county
doesn't need the money far imme
diate use.
There Is steadily increasing de
mand that taxes be paid quarterly or
semi-annually, instead of citizens be
ing forced, under penalty, to pay the
taxes in a lump.
Consider the poor taxpayer. Per
sons who have not ready money to
pay their taxes and yet who wish to
avoid the heavy penalty, must bor
row from the bank. The average
individual in this position must pay
the highest rate of Interest, 7 or 8
per cent, for Instance. The borrow
er may get the money from the
bank in tbe morning and pay the
taxes, and this money may be back
In the bank by 3 o'clock in yie af
ternoon. The County Treasurer tak
es the 'money which Mr. Taxpayer
has borrowed at 7 or 8 per cent, and
puts it back In the bank a few hours
later, and the bank pays 2 per cent
to the county for the privilege. - So,
the bank makes 6 per cent, or some
thing like that, for allowing a few
dollars to be taken, out of the vault
for less than a day. If the trans
action is by check It may never
leave the bank at all.
No urgent necessity of the county'
demands the immediate use of the
tax money. The tax monej is rolling
in, and will remain, for the greater
part, in bank for months. There
Is an agitation on foot that the tax
es be paid quarterly, so the burden
will fall more lightly on the taxpay
ers by giving more time to meet the
rates, and the county, receiving its
tax fund in four Installments, will
not be inconvenienced, but will have
the money as it is needed. Quarter
ly payments will not work a hard
ship on anyone, and will do away
with the necessity of borrowing by
the taxpayers.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERE'S THE REASON
The fact that there is less dyspep
sia and indigestion in this communi
ty than there used to be is largely,
we believe, due to the extensive use
of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hun
dreds of packages of which we have
sold. No wonder we have faith in
them. No wonder we are willing to
offer them to you for trial entirely at
our risk.
Among other things they contain
PepBin and Bismuth, two of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medical science. They soothe the in
flamed stomach, allay pain, check
heartburn and distress, help to digest
the food, and tend to quickly restore
the stomach to its natural, comfort
able, healthy state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. It means just what it
says. We'll ask you no questions.
Your word is enough for us. If Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets don't restore
your stomach to health and make
your digestion easy and comfortable,
we want you to come back for your
money. They are sold at the 7,000
Rexall Stores, and in this town on
ly by us. Three sizes, 25c, 50c and
