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.
Homer L. Ferguson, president of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States has stirred up the patriots over
the reproduction of n foreign ship be
ing on our twenty-dollar hills. Making

press his auditors with the fact that
this country has entirely too few ships,
V whipped out a twenty-dollar bill
?nd declared :
"Why. even the ship reproduced on
'his Mil js one that was taken over
by this country during the war. It
the American flag, all right, but
It Is a foreign-built ship."
Examination proved he was abso
lutely ct?rre< t. The ship has four fun

Tnbcrculosls kills lf>0,000 persons In th? United States every year.
These two women escaped. They are shown In the Night and Day Camp
conducted by the St. Louis Society for the Relief and Prevention of Tuber
culosis. They are among the fortunate ones because they knew how to take
care of themselves when this great menace threatened them. They knew
that the cure lies in plenty of fresh air, even If the temperature Is away below
freezing, sunlight, good food and rest under proper medical supervision.
Tuberculosis is not only curable but Is preventable as well.
The prevention lies largely in right living, in building up a strong bodily
resistance. Eight out of ten persons are Infected at some time in their lives,
According to llgures of the National Tuberculosis Association, the leading
agency in the United States In the light upon this disease. This organization
is sponsor for the annual Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, from which the
funds to carry on the work throughout the year are chletiy derived.
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.
The white plague claimed 150,000
j lives last year In the United States.
[More thnn 1,000,000 Americans are suf
fering from it today. These figures
ii re compiled from reports of experts
all over the country and sent to the
Natlonnl Tuberculosis Association, the
leading agency in the country to com
bat this disease. This organization Is
sponsor for the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale, from which Its financial sup
pert is chiefly derived.
As medical science has proved con
sumption Is both preventable and cura
ble, ?he suffering caused by this dis
ease is largely unnecessary. Most tu
berculosis victims are between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five.
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the years when people
are m'?st active, the years of their
greatest production. The snufling out
of these lives Jusl when they are nt
the height of th?.4r usefulness means
an annual loss*to the country of near
ly half a billion dollars.
j Fresh air Is the cheapest of medi
cines. Outdoor sleeping porches are
; not or 1 y for the sick. They help well
j folks to keep well, and the country
'dweller can have this aid to healthy
i lirijg at fnr less incon venlence than
hit* eltv neighbor.
You can help directly by seHns: that
you snd your family are living under
the most healthful conditions possible.
