SEEMINGLY NO AGE LIMIT Applicants for Divorce Are by No Means Always in the Days of Their Callow Youth. There is no age limit to divorce. In Oregon a woman at the age of eighty two yours is suing for a decree from htr husband, who is a callow stripling of seventy-one summers. This seems tobeanotjier case of too much inother (? Inlaw, as the wife asserts that her husband's love, has been alienated and undermined through the work of his mother, who is now ninety-four years old and who never- did like her, any how. They have been married some ten years now, and the wife said that *ben the husband took her money to bay an auto for his mother and wouldn't let his wife ride In It, she knew that his love was dead. When she remonstrated the husband coldly Informed hoc that she could leave the house. When the wife said that the home was her own and bought with her own money the husband replied that might be so. but he had thought fnllv had the deed recorded in his own ! name. Now she has to appeal to the i courts. It is rather rough when a bride of eighty-two has to compete >. with a ninety-four-yedr-Old mother-ln law for the affections of her husband. A Foreign Ship.

RURALITES HAVE BIG heXlth advantage Abundance of Fresh Air and Sunlight Do Much to Check Ravages of Tuberculosis. DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS. National Tuberculosis Association, Which Sponsors the Annual Sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, Reports 150,000 Deaths Each Year From the Disease. People who live In the smaller towns and on farms have a great health ad vantage over the city dwellers In that they have ever an abundant supply of fresh air mid sunlight. These two gifts of nature, so lavish ly bestowed, are not always appreciat ed to their fullest extent. They are two of the strongest weapons against the menace of tuberculosis, or con sumption, as It Is sometimes called. But consumption is not unknown In the rural districts. The death rate Is sometimes as great In these sections as in the more crowded localities, chiefly because of carelessness or Indifference to laws of health. Few, Indeed, are the farm houses or Uie homes In the smaller cities and Villages that cannot have an outdoor sleeping porch. On the contrary, we often find that the windows of sleep ing rooms In the home are shut tight In the mistaken belief that night air Is harmful. This paves the way for disease, espe cially tuberculosis, which generally at tacks the lungs. WhKe Plague Kills 150,000 a Year.
