UNSUSPECTED CONSTIPATION
Nine out of ten of us-whether we know it or not-are martyrs to partial constipation. For. it is a fact that an overloaded and neglected food canal will quickly and inevitably lead to a multitude of ills, the true cause of which we rarely recognise. The sole purpose of Eno's 'Fruit Salt' is to check this evil-safely and. harmlessly. Acting in the same way as those natural salts which should be-but are not- present in modern diet, Eno gets rid of all waste matter before it has time to stagnate and become poisonous. Take Eno first thing every morning.

DIVORCE LAW HUMBUG.
Miss Margaret Kennedy, the novelist, who in private life is Mrs. David Davies, snld:
The average person cannot afford to take a long honeymoon, and in most cases when it comes it is taken in conjunction with the Jordinary holiday from work.
Since the reserve was opened endeavours have been made to make it a sanctuary for species liable to become extinét.
Among the rarer birds these were It is great fun, and a gloriously rail, and sandpiper, while most of the hobby bittern, dipper, water happy time, and over, all too soon the 90 other sjecies of Stafford- for most people.

But I think that all |--fallow deer, ahrowa, voles, her advice is inapplicable to the squirrels, stoats, and badgers. majority of people.
I disagree, too, that marriage should be harder and divorco easter. It is hard enough to get married nowadays, especially for people who are not too well off.
I urge that it should be harder to get a divorce, although I admit that a lot of humbug is attached to the divorce inws at present, especially in cases where two people are really unhappy and have to adopt sordid subterfuge to obtain realease,
But it should not be too easy to divorce.
"OIL AND WATER DON'T MIX"
Mrs. Elinor Gyln, the novelist, said that she had not lind time to consider the question of abolishing the honeymoon, but that, she had decided ideas on marriage and divorce.
"I am in entire agreement with Miss Borden that marriage should be made harder," she said, "and divorce should certainly be easier to get.

The defence was that the dog was killed to put it out of its misery after it had been caught in a trap. At Worksop, William Stevenson, aamallholder, of Rose Cottage, Styrrup, Nottinghamshire, sentenced to two months' hord labour for cruelty to a horse, and his son, James William Stevenson, aged 17, was fined £5 or a month's imprisonment.
Mr. A. B. Furness, prosecuting, for the said the Royal Society Prevention of Cruelty to Animals regarded the case as n shocking one.
The father, said Mr. Furness, bent the horse with a strap whic the son hit it with a thin sick. They then harnessed a pony to a chain and flogged it to make it pull the horse, which eventually squen!- ed, shivered, and fell down dead.
