Every woman, with reasonably good health, may have that kind of hair provided she will give it care and attention. The scalp must be kept clean and free from dandruff. For this purpose there Is nothing superior to Nowbro's Herpiclde. Used Intelli gently, the effect of Herpicide is qulcKly apparent In the increased life, luster and luxuriance of the hair. Beautiful hair and Newbro's Herpicide are almost invariably asso ciated. Herpicide eradicates dandruff, checks falling hair, stops itching of the scalp. The odor is delightful.

COMMON LA WMA R CONDEMNED BY CHURCH St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 9.—The divorce courts, as busy as they are, reveal but a small proportion of the marital In felicity in this country, says the com mission on family lifei which reported at to-day's session of the quadrennial meeting of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The report Included statistics and discus sions of many phases of the complex problems of marital relations. As to divorce It says: "At this mo ment it is thought that one marriage in ten is broken by divorce and that in some states tho proportion may be as high' as one in four." "It Is a striking fact," the commis sion says, "that in the majority of divorce cases dissolution of marriage has occurred, not hastily after a brief trial, but deliberately after a consid erable period of marriage, the average exceeding six and one-half years. Com mon observation will show frequency of divorce among people who have been married twenty years or more." The commission believes that the entrance of women into the industrial field plays an important part in the in crease of divorces. It deplores the fact that "unfortunately the larger part of humanity in America, as else where, are strangers to the lofty views which the Church entertains of mar riage "When we are seeking, therefore, remedies for the evils of our lax mar riage and divorce practices our ulti mate and most effective method will Musical Entertainment in Sixth Street Church Arrangements are being made for one of the latest and popular musical entertainments entitled "Our Busy Ladles' Aid," to be given In the Sixth Street United Brethren church.

Olivet Presbyterian Church Perry Street, above Fourteenth Conllal Welcome to Every One be found in such instruction as the churches may give to their adherents, supplemented by such work as the educational Institutions of the country may bo induced to undertake. This instruction will bear upon the Ideals of marriage. It. will teach that mar riage is not contracted as a mere con venience and for prudential reasons, that it is not even primarily intended solely for the personal happiness of those who contract it. but that it is indispensable to the proper filling out of the life of human beings, that it is one of the most effective methods of developing character, and that the preservation of the Integrity of mar riage and of thf family Institution as a whole is the only process by which a truly divine order for society can be maintained. "No legislation, however sagaciously framed, can ever effect a complete cure of marriage maladjustments, but such preventive measures as give promise of diminishing the evils which are now so abundant will commend themselves to thoughtful persons. The fact that In twenty-three states what are known as 'common law marriages.' In which a man and a woman take each other for husband and wife with out the services of a civil officer or a clergyman, and frequently without any witnesses, are recognized as valid, calls for serious condemnation, and no re form is more needed than legislation declaring such unions to be null and void everywhere in the United States."
