Poor Health Gained. They Say
Outdoor bedrooms are becoming more
common in New York. They would be
more popular were they easier To get.
This has been made plain since the open
ing OF the tuberculosis exhibit at the
Museum Of Natural History.
Persons who never before had any
thing to say ON tine subject are beginning
TO compare notes. Not that the ma
jority Of outdoor sleepera have tuber-
culosis or ever expect to have It. Ner-
vousness, insomnia, delicate throat
tendency to catch cold are among the
reasons given by men and women for
sleeping on extension roofs. balconies,
fire escapes, housetops and cots project

How many OF these persons there are
in New York nobody knows. 1t isagreed,

COULD NOT FORGIVE
HUSBANDS CRUELTY

An affecting scene was witness
ed in the police department drill
hall yesterday afternoon when Mart
McClammy, of Occur d'Alene, tried
to pursuade his wife to return and
live with him. She had come to
Spokane with their son and daugh-
ter. aged and years. McClammy
followed and secured warrant for
her on charges of embezzlement
and abduction. He alleged that she
took $500 of his money.
When they met at police head
quarters McClammy withdrew his
charges and begged the woman to
give him another chance. She re-
fused. claiming that he had threat
ened to kill her and abused her to
such extent that any place was
preferable to home.
The wife tearfully consented to
give up the boy and they finally
agreed to separate. The children
stood by them, begging to go home,
unconscious of the domestic trag-
edy that had left them without a
real home.
