FRENCH BRIDE DECLARED SANE. Nervous Prostration Over High Cost of Living in America. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Feb. 14.? Mrs. Ewalt Saner, young French bride of a former sold.er, was held sane today by a board of examiners before whom her husband had taken her. Mrs. Sauer had suffered nervous prostration over the high cost of living and what she termed "American extravagance." Mrs. Sauer cried for more than an hour as she told how all the money /which her husband turns over to her each pay day "goes out as fast as it comes in." "Why is it when I order some meat," she sobbed, "that it is brought in an automobile? That is extravagance horrible for poor people. I cannot have my meat delivered in an automobile and I won't." It developed that the Sauers are buying a home on installments and this was something the young wife could not understand. Her husband, she says, gives her his pay envelope. The commission advised her that her husband is a jewel. % < > ? m "Flu " in Allendale Cocnty. Because of the increase in the number of cases of influenza the board of health of Fairfax ordered that the school be closed, and that restrictions be placed on all places of business in the town. It was also suggested that it would be advisable to discontinue church until the situation become better. The pool room in Fairfax was closed and the drug stores ordered to sell drinks only from the bottle. Schools at Brunson, Hampton and Varnville were closed and rigid restrictions placed on the business places of the latter two towns. Physicians of the section are glad . to note that the deaths from the epidemic this year are very light in comparison with the death toll last year. This, it is understood, is due to the fact that the epidemic this year is very much milder than that of last year, and also the fact that the physicians, after last year's fight, are more versed in treating the disease. Mrs. A. A. Rivers, Brunson, wife of the president of the Mer chants ana Planters DanK or mar place, died with pneumonia, contracted as a result of an attack of influ'4 enza, last Sunday. So far, no case of influenza has been reported in Allendale, and, in fact, the Citizen was, Wednesday, unable to- learn of the existence of a case in the county, outside of Fairfax. Allendale was hard hit in the epidemic of last year and it is to be hop^d that the town will not have any part of it this year.?Allendale Citizen. . m m Deaths at Smoaks. ? ?
