HIGH COST LIVING.
Been Extended to Marriages and Di
vorce by New Law.
The high cost of living in some of
the luxuries of lire, such as marriages
and divorces, for instance, took a flight
upward when the new statutes went
into effect. From now on marriage
licenses in Shawnee county that for
merly sold at the bargain price of
$3.50 each will soar to $4, the addi
tional 50 cents having been tacked on
to satisfy the curiosity of the state.
But the big increase in the h. c. of
1. is in the price of divorces, the reg
ular rate having been hiked $10 by a
new law. So divorces that heretotore
are estimated at a cost of from $30 to
$35 will cost from now on from $40
to $4 5. Not only that but there will
be no more hasty decrees, and no
more one sided hearings. The new
law provides for a divorce proctor
who must investigate every pe
tition filed, and a hearing cannot be
heard until 60 days have elapsed from
the tiling of the suit.
Heretofore there have been in
stances where a decree was granted
a few minutes after the petition was
made a part of the records of the
clerk's office. The petition together
with a waiver of summons from the
defendant and an entry of appearance,
consenting that the case might be
heard at any time, has been filed and
a hearing held immediately. Then
there appeared the plaintiff and one
witness who testified to cruelties or
neglectful acts as the case might be,
and no one appearing to controvert
the statements the court held a suffi
cient ground for divorce was shown
and awarded a decree. The courts
are willing to admit that in some in
stances the petitioners have "put one
over on them." But no more will di
vorces be easy to obtain. The proc
tor, who under the law is a member
of the county attorney's staff, must
scrutinize every suit and report to the
court, representing defaulting de
fendants whether they would be rep
resented or not, and investigate into
the merits of every case tiled. So far
a special assistan who will act as di
vorce, proctor has not been appointed.
From now on also prospective
grooms and brides must give their
real ages and swear to them, not giv
ing the old, familiar, "over IS," and
"over 21." as has been the custom in
some cases. The licenses will be is
sued from a book that resembles a
check book, the stub of which is re
tained as a public record by the pro
bate judges. The licenses, after the
ceremonies have been performed, must
be returned within 72 hours to the
registrar of vital statistics at the state
house, where a complete record of
marriages, from now on, will be kept.
If you have not indulged either in
a marriage or a divorce so far it will
be more expensive from now on, and
if it is a divorce you are. looking for
it may be a rude shock to you to find
the divorce proctor poking into your
personal affairs and learning how far
you may have mistreated your com
panion in life while he, according to
your story has been mistreating vou.
RECORD FOR HOSSFELD
Jointist Faces Korty-Xine Counts Tor
Selling Liquor.
The high mark in the number of
counts charted against an individual
for violation of the prohibitory law
has been reached in the case of Ed
Hossfeld. The record breaking com
plaint contains fifty counts, forty-nine
of which are sales counts.
Hossfeld held the record heretofore,
having been charged at one time on 36
counts. He was permitted to plead
guilty, however, on two or three
counts when the case came up for trial,
and the others were dismissed. He is
not a first offender by any means.
In case of a conviction upon all' the
counts charged the minimum penalty
would be four years and two months
in the county jail and a fine of $5,000
together with the costs that probably
w-uuiu aggregate nan as much more.
The maximum penalty would be 12
years and 8 months imprisonment in
the county jail and a fine of $25,000,
saying nothing of the costs.
The minimum fine and estimated
costs, if served out in jail, would mean
a term of more than 20 years, if the
county prosecutor is able to prove all
of the charges made against him. Such
a sentence, together with the minimum
jail sentence that can be imposed,
would mean about 25 years, a longer
term by considerable than is usually
served upon a conviction for murder.

Over-Night Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning
It is only natural that the simplest of
ailments should be the most general,
and so we have a whole nation suffer
ing from constipation and indigestion,
for they are closely allied. But common
as constipation is many people do not
seem to know they have it. They will
complain of headache, drowsiness or
billiousness, all unconscious of the
cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
at night before retiring and by morning
relief will come, without disturbance
from sleep or ny inconvenience.
Legions cf people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suffer
ed from constipation all their lives.
Mr. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St., Harris
burg. Pa., says: "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin gave :ne almost instant relief
from stomach and bowel trouble. I
now eat anything I want and sleep
well." Many others will tell you that
they have tried most things recom
mended ior this purpose but have
found Syrup Pepsin the only one al
ways reliable. A bottle can be obtained
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar, the lajter size being bought
-'.5V!"'
MR, A.
H. nAWFR
by families already familiar with its
merits.
Syrup Pepsin is mild, pleasant-tasting
and non-griping. Mothers give it
to tiny infants, and yet it is effective
in grownups. It is for everyone who
suffers from any form of stomach,
liver or bowel trouble, constipation,
dyspepsia, biliousness, etc. Its action
will so delight you that you will forever
avoid harsh cathartics, purgatives
pills and salts.
f no member of your family has ever
used Syrup Pepsin and you would like
to make a personal trial of it before
buying it in the regular way of a drug
gist, send your address a postal will
do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Wash
ington St., Monticello, 111., and a free
sample bottle will be mailed you
