Have Hair Thlt Won't Blow Off
There is a feeling' of comfort and self assurance in
the thought that one's hair won't come off.
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

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."
