Show FINED "2 WEEKS ON HAM AND-" Beefstealf and Hot Biscuits. Are Doing Much to Reform Re-form Delinquent Husbands, Hus-bands, Says Judge. CHICAGO, March 30. Pure food is to be an important factor in the reform of delinquent husbands, conducted by Municipal Judge McEenzie McClelland of the Maxwell Street district. Instead of sentencing the husband, the wife will be sentenced in the future. Instead of meting out "50 and eosts to be worked out at Bridwell," it will not be unusual to hear a sentence of "Two weeks on ham and rfggs, varied by hot biscuits, mashed potatoes and steak." After several weeks of psychological psychologi-cal research, conducted upon practical lines, Judge .Clelland has discovered that food served in different style by more indifferent wives has more to do with sending husbands to the corner saloon for solace than any other one thing. Experiments have shown that good food will force the most delinquent usband to forget his evil ways and return re-turn to the straight and narrow path. If there were any doubt as to the truth of this theory it was forthcoming at last night's review of paroled husbands hus-bands in Judge Clelland 's court. There were fifty husbands who had been placed upon their honor and good food. The latter had stimulated the former to such an extent that there' were few wives who had any complaint to make of their .husbands. |
