10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920. .BRITAIN TAKES UP EXPENSES OF PEACE DELEGATES Charges That Members Indulg ed In Reckless Extrava gance In Paris Made In House of Commons. London, April 2. Charges that the government had indulged in reckless extravagance at the peace conference in Paris have been made in connection with its bill of 503, 388 for the expenses of the British delegation. When the bill was presented in the House of Commons recently, Sir Alfred Mond, the first commis sioner of works, was sharply ques tioned as to whether his bill for ho tels in Paris covered the cost of champagne, food and dances. He replied that his department was not responsible for the payment of bills for food, clothing, for typists, dances or bands. One member of the house in dignantly declared that it would have been better for the British delegates to have gone to bed to think over the peace conference in stead of indulging in such relaxa tion. The government representative ad mitted that the British had five ho tels and three Other premises, while the Americans, had only one hotel, but, he declared, the Americans spent more money. The house in dulged in ironic cheers when Sir Alfred Mond said the government "did the thing well." The total staff of the British dele gation numbered 524.

NEBRASKA Mary Pickford, at Divorce Trial, Said Life Was Just Qne Continual Separation Transcript of Action Shows Never Once Did Name Pickford Appear It Also Brought to Light Some Things About Her Unhappy Married Life That Were Not Known, Even in the Movie World. Reno, Nev., April 2. When Mary Pickford on March 2 upset court procedure in Nevada and se cured a divorce after a residence in the state of-tvvo weeks, it was given out that her "divorce was asked for and granted, on grounds of deser tion. There-was no one in the court room at the,' time but the court of ficials, thcattorneys, Mary and her mother aud-f verything was kept se cret lis possible. The transcript of the testimony in the case was' filed yesterday and it Ehows that Mary told some things about her "unhappy married life that were probably not generally known even in the motion picture world. And nowhere in the court pro ceedings did the name Mary Pick ford appear,. Even the Mary was let out, the "little actress securing her divorce under the name of Gladys M. Moore. She was 17 years old when she was married to Owen Moore on January 17, 1911, in Jer sey Gity, N. T., she testified, and her married, lite was a series of un happy quarrels, tears and general unhappintss. Havana, Cuba, was the first place of residence of Mr. and Mrs.' Moore after their mar riage and from the day they landed in Cuba until they left three months later Mary's" life was very unhappy. Carrie Home Intoxicated. "He leff hie the day we arrived there aird' tame back in zm intoxi cated condition. He quarreled with me andTt'fr the hotel again and I didn't see him for three days," she testified. '., . "They returned to New York from Cuba and her husband continued to partake of tgo much liquor, she said. He left her twice, once to stay away a month knd another time for a week during1-'the fall of 1911. Here is what Mary told the court about the next time she was de serted: ! "From the time of my marriage I WATCH for the Packard 4'Fuel-Izer" Demonstration Next Week The Solution to the GacDline Problem was forced to support myself, my mother, my brother and sister. My husband said that a wife was a luxury and that he did not intend buying my clothes. We had been in Chicago and it was necessary for me to seek employment with a com pany and that company was going west to California. I asked my hus band togo along and offered to pay his fare, bjit he said that he wanted to stay in New York." Left Her at Los Angeles. Later Moore went to Los Angeles and Mary continued: "We had an apartment thee and lie linally told me that he was tired of it and intended going back to New York. I offered to go with him but he said no and packed up ins mings ana went. They were separated eight weeks this time and after another reunion lived together for a short time until Mary became ill. She told it in this way: "That fall, from unhappiness and overwork I was taken sick and went a o Tirtcnirol W rim a coa ma tinder the influence of liquor which disturbed me that night as I was coming out of the ether. Four times he came there and made me cry and my doctor told the nurse that he was not to be allowed to come into the room until my tem perature was normal. My mother took me to a hotel when I left the hospital and he came to see me and quarreled with me again." Made an Accusation. From New York they went to Los Angeles again, Mary going first, and lived together for three months. Then Moore accused Mary of ruin ing his career, she said. "He told me that I was the cause of his failure in life and that I caused him to drink and was sorry that he ever had a wife. He said if he wanted to dine out he didn't want anybody questioning him as to where he was and he thought I was interfering with his career." As the months went by Mary didn't appeal to her husband any more, she said, and he became abusive of her mother, calling her mother terrible names, "names I do not care to repeat." In the latter part of 1914, Mary packed her things and left Moore, at his suggestion, she said. Abused Her Mother. "He called my mother terrible names, names I do not care to re peat, and I said that he would have to apologize for that and he said he would not and said that I would get out of there; he didn't want me any more and said he was absolutely through with me and wanted to live a bachelor's life and that I didn't appeal to him. I packed my things and went home. "After much persuasion he re turned and we lived together in Los Angeles from January to June, 1914. His conduct continually grew worse, and. he said constantly that it was a great extravagance to have a wife. I always paid my share of the bills and clothed myself." Back and forth from Los Angeles to New York Mary and her husband traveled many times, always on dit ferent trains, however, and. accord ing to Mary's testimony, she was generally going from one place to the other to bring her husband back to her. In 1916, Mary said she se cured a position with a company for ner husband and, as she had to go west, she asked the company to send him along. He refused to go. Separated in 1917. "He said it was a good thing that my business called me west as he was happier without me, and that I made him morfiid, and that I needn't try to come back to him," Mary tes tified. It was in the summer of 1917 that he left her the last time. "We stayed together two weeks," she said. "He quarreled with me all the time and one morning he said he wasn't going to stand any o! this nonsense any longer. He got on the train and left." ' It was over a year ago that she talked to Moore, she said, and then they talked about a business deal. In response to questions from the court, Mary said she came to Ne vada for her health and had no in tention of securing a divorce when she came here. 432 Dry Wells Bored In U. S.

PROMINENT importers and wholesale dealers in crude drugs and medicinal herbs gathered from all parts of the world do not hesitate to say that the marketor the better grades of medicinal herbs, roots, oils, etc., is practically confined to the lead ing manufacturers of the so-called package medicines, who buy only the very best, and that the manu facturers of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are the largest users of the best grade of Egyptian senna leaves in the world. The potency of a tea brewed from senna leaves to relieve con stipation has long been recognized, not only by the medical profes sion, but by the public generally; in fact, senna has been known and used in medicine for more than five centuries.' The cheaper grades of senna, such as are usu ) ally sold at retail, have, however, a tendency to gripe and cramp which makes their use unpopular with most people. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the finest Egyptian senna is com bined with pepsin and other valu able agents, essential oils and pure cane sugar syrup to make an ex ceptionally valuable tonic-laxative for the relief of constipation and resulting disturbances of the stomach and bowels. The com plete formula is plainly printed in English, French, and Spanish on every package. Thousands who formerly bought an inferior grade of senna leaves now use Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin instead. It is sold in drug stores everywhere. In spite of theffact that Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is the largestsdling , liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefits have not yet used it.
