In round numbers was spent In the
United States last year in the com
palgn against tuberculosis, according
to the annual report OF tho National
Association for the Prevention and
Study Of tuberculosis. The fight, the
report says, was the history of medi-
cine. All classes of people arc taking

churches and laymen. An Important
factor was the work of the Red Cross

the very near future-for the next
legislature does not meet until Janu-
airy of 1911. There are others who
point to the experience of South Da-
kota, which for 20 years fought the
evils of lax divorce laws before re-
peal was secured, and say that the
moralists OF Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Ne
vada is cleaning house. In the last
session of the legislature. after gam
ing being permitted for 40 years with
cognizance of law, bill abolishing
gambling was passed-the act to take
effect in November of 1910-and it Is
believed that If that could be done,
the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.
In the meantime the hotel men and
cottage renters of Reno and-the d.
vorce lawyers will continue to -four
ish. Partisan toilettes and so horse
power automobiles will fash and dart
through the quiet thoroughfares at all
sorts of hours. Men and women will
continue to become citizens" of Ne

securing their divorce DEGREES.

come back for several days 1t might be men,
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels are always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average, to the extent of so per cent in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns its own
er a rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the one thing that endears Reno to
the visiting divorce more than anything else is
its proximity to San Francisco. One may board
train in Reno and be In the Pacific coast metrop
oils In ten hours. Despite its manifold attrac
tions life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers and the visitors, to a great extent SOON
er or later during their stay, take a trip or half
a dozen trips, over the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life In Reno, do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned:
Under the provisions of Section 20 Of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side in the state for period of at least six
months. This is not construed to mean that in
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period.
So If a party comes to Nevada, and, in good faith.
takes up residence, the party may leave the
state at any ume after estaDnsnlng residence,
may so and travel when and wherever the party
chooses and may return to the state whenever in
clination prompts and yet such temporary abb
sence would not in any wise affect.the legality OF
the residence established, but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence originally established notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period
Biased somewhat by the financial seductions
of the situation, and yet TO learn the lesson that
such state of affairs can only result in the NOR
al degradation of the youth of the community-a
lesson which caused South Dakota to reform her
divorce laws-Reno appears to be perfectly con-
tented with things they are.
But Reno is busiy engaged in cleaning house,
and it is felt by the most reflective observers that
the divorce laws of Nevada now written will
be thing of the past In the near future. Not in

form q camp which is maintained by
the Ethical Culture society of New
York as a summer retreat for its
working girl members. From May
to October these girls are privileged
to enjoy all the advantages of the
camp for $3.50 week.
The matron in charge attends to

is as neat and convenient as those on

veniently transformed into dining

trees stands the ice chest and nearby

several years had club named after

But everything comes to him that waits, and
when the people of South Dakota arose In their
wrath last November and by referendum vote,
= declared that any one who desired to get d.
vorce In South Dakota would have to live there
a year instead of six months. as had been the re-
,1uirement previously, the seeker of relief from
present matrimonial ties began to take the long
journey westward to Nevada, where it takes but
a six months residence to be in a position to go
before the courts Of the state as plaintiff In
divorce suit.
W. H. Schnitzer. a Reno divorce specialist, has
written a treatise on divorce practice and pro-
cedure, in which he throws an Illuminating ray
on the wherefore of the popularity Of Reno as a
divorce center. He says:
while the laws of the eastern and middle
western states generally contain some provision
for the dissolution of the marriage tie. it is OBJ
~vious to the reader that in cases where extreme
cruelty dessrtion, and failure to provide form the
basis Of the grievance, the law in such states Of
fers substantial relief to the aggrieved party,
because the requirements Of proof, duration OF
offense, confederation of plaintiff and procedure
under court rules are exacting and irksome
shat the desired relief sought by the applicant is
rendered impossible of attainment Summing up
the situation as il exists in the eastern states
respecting the domestic relation law, the client
when consulting local counsel Is almost invari-
ably advised that upon the facts submitted he or
she is without remedy. Here In Nevada the ap-
gplicant, without deception or fraud. upon
almost any charge from which lack of harmonious
relations may be reasonably inferred may apply
to our courts and secure prompt results by de-
cree of absolute divorce, valid and binding in
law"
While there are about "a cases now the
