Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system Of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation IS
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.

energy; It strengthens the

SIX CAUSES
FOR DIVORCE
AGREED UPON BY CONGRESS ON
UNIFORM LAWS. ABOUT
oNE.THIRD OF PROPOSED
BILL ADOPTED.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-The Ma
tional Congress on Uniform Divorce
Laws, in session in this city, today
adopted about one-third of the pro-
posed uniform bill as drafted by the
committee appointed at the meeting
held in Washington nine months ago.
The portions adopted include seven
causes under which annulment of a
marriage may be obtained and six
causes for absolute divorce.
The causes for which divorce can
be granted are inAdelity, felony, de-
sertion, habitual drunkenness and in
tolerable cruelty, and in the discus
sions of the various sections there
was little opposition to any OF these
provisions, but In the list Of causes
for annulment of marriage, opposition
was presented against separation.
There was also opposition to the
clause annuIing the marriage Of girl
under the age of sixteen and youth
of eighteen. Ernest Merten, of Wis
consin, held that a girl under eighteen
years was incapable of making prop
er marriage contract and Frank H.
Kerr, of Ohio, favored the law of his
State which makes the marriage of a
boy under twenty-one and girl under
eighteen void. Miss Rachel Siegel, of
Utah, the only woman speaker, held
that sixteen years for the girl was
all right She said women ought to
know" The clause was adopted.
