INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods OF Prevention Of
Tubereulosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods Of prevention of
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. Of the public school
children of the United States. accord
ing to bulletin of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that In only nine cities.
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit.
Mich, Maiden. Mass, Salem. Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville. Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory,
Michigan, Massachusetts,, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of pre-
vention of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to

years ago left of coffee and began

prevailed upon him to leave of coffee

money, and after many years Mrs.
Waid sued her husband and won, even
triumphing over that bugbear Of cred
itors, the statute of limitations.
What's next to money when it comes
to making riffs in the domestic lutte?
Don't all speak at once-you're all
right. OF course, it's the mother-in-
law! Can the husbands mother do

house? Is ma-in-law privileged to

just because poor, dear Marie is so
lonesome? No stree! The courts are
unanimous on this question and with
out any reservations whatsoever.
Mother must go, no matter which side
of the house she comes from.
In the case of the Keerys it was the
husband siding with his mother. John
Keery, prosperous New Jersey farm
er, married a trained nurse and took
her home.
Feed the hogs and put in your
other spare time working on the
farm!" was the gist of the orders
handed to the bride by the bride
groom's mother, who lived on the
farm with them. Young Mrs. KERRY
rebelled. KERRY sided with his moth
err and so this particular Mrs. Newly
wed left home and her husbands
mother. Then she sued for separate
maintenance, which was answered by
KERRY that he was perfectly willing to
provide a home-his home-for her.
But there was ma!
And that spoiled all his otherwise
good defense in law. Vice-Chancellor
Stevenson, in Jersey City, held that
the mother-in-law couldn't be boss
and would have to go, or else Kerry
would have to provide another home
for his wife.
In other words, the mother-in-law
must go!

ENTER THE THIRD PERSON.

Quite enough when the contents Of
the pocket searched belong to the hus-
band. But when something is taken
belonging to a third party the situa-
ton is wholly different, as Mrs. John
White of Cincinnati learned to her
sorrow.
Miss Anna Chapman gave her gold
watch to John White to take to a
watchmaker's to be repaired. In her
customary, search Of her husbands
pockets Mrs. White found the time
piece and confscated it. So Miss
Chapman had her arrested.
The Solomon in this case was Judge
Dumollt Miss Chapman got her
watch, Mrs. White her freedom and
White the angry word from both.
LET this be a warning to all wives, I"
said Judge Dumont.
There are various phases Of this de-
cision which gets back to the root Of
all evil-money. If a husband can
have some say over his earnings, how
much must he give the wife? In Mis-
souri, TIE rule is 20 per cent.

MUST PAY BACK MONEY.

Now, how about household borrow
ing? Do you have to pay back money
you borrow from your wife? Of
course there is no other side to the
questionable wife can't borrow from
the husband; he always gives it to
her. So, for the benefit of all hus-
bands who will persist in borrowing
from their wives, let it be said for
once and all, you've got to pay it

the statute of limitations, which in
validates an ordinary debt after GER
tain number of years, does not debar
the claim of wife against the hus-
band for borrowed money.
This case came up in Bloomington,

in the Green county circuit court,
when Mrs. Bessie Waid sued her hus-
band for $4,000 he had borrowed from
her. They subsequently quarreled and
separated. He refused to return the

SOME CHICAGO DECISIONS.

You may slap your wife, but you
mustn't pinch her-at least in Chi
cago. Judge Barnes made these dis
tinctions in the superior court where
cruelty cases are tried.
In Chicago, too, a husband may
swear at his wife, according to the
decision of Municipal Judge Gemmill.
Mrs. Joseph Tolino wanted her hus-
band put in Jail for swearing at her
and threatening all sorts of things
which he didn't do.
81 won't issue warrant of arrest
on such charges" declared the judge,
and so it goes as law.
In Athol, Mass, Judge Frederick
Dunn wasn't so sure of his ground
when Mrs. E. A. Garry had her hus-
band arrested for assault and battery
because he tickled her in the ribs.
The court admitted that the issue was
beyond it's judicial attachments and
dismissed the case without prejudice.
One evening when Chauncey Nc
Knight of New York city came home
he found his wife cutting up" as he
expressed it, and decided to discipline
her. So he laid her across his knee
and administered a sound spanking.
Then he sued for separation on the
ground that his wife was addicted to
the use of liquor.
Justice Truax, before whom the
case came in the supreme court, was
up a legal tree. Finally he compro-
missed and ordered the wife to live
with the husband and the husband to
pay the wife SIS a week. In other
words, the spanking doesn't count.

WIFE NOT A SERVANT.

There are two new decisions re-
garding just how much work a wife
must do. In Ohio she can get off
with little or none. A housewife may
lie abed late, let the dishes go I'M
washed, refuse to mend her husbands
clothes, neglect to sweep, and still be
deemed a true and loving helpmate.
James Young sued for a divorce at
Lima, o., on these grounds, and Judge
Quail dismissed his plea of gross neg
lect and refused him the relief prayed
fora divorce.
"a mans wife is not his servant!"
was the gist of the decision.
Nor is she to be household drudge
in New Jersey, under the latest de-
cision at Bayonne Mrs. Charles Giere
hailed her husband to court, charging
him with choking her. Giere pro-
tested and added that she never was
at home.
"Why, Judge" he exclaimed, bitter
ly. "many's the time I've come home
from work only to be told to get nv
own supper. I've often washed the
dishes and made the beds for fear my
friends might drop in and see every
thing upset"
And this is what Giere got from
Recorder Lazarus:
"a married woman has a perfect
right to go out when she pleases, and
should not be expected to spend all
her time in drudgery."
And to rub 1t in on the husband he
had to pay a SO fine!

WITHIN WIFELY RIGHTS.


In New York city Justice Newburger
in the supreme court has just said it
is all right. Mrs. Adolph Schwartz
was suing her husband, rich lawyer,
with Offices in New York, San Fran
cisco. Philadelphia, Chicago and other
cities. She searched her husbands
pockets and found letters from that
other woman"
did you think that was right?"
asked Schwartz's lawyer.
1T was perfectly right to search his
pockets" announced the court de-
wrangle. "He was her husband"
In Omaha the case was more seri-
Gus. Henry Mills was suing for di-
vorce before Judge Crawford. He al
legged cruelty, said cruelty consisting
chiefly in the fact that she systematic
ally searched his pockets for his
wages, leaving behind her only Is
cents a day for his car fare and beer.
If Mills wanted more money he had to
take his wife into his confidence and
tell her what he intended spending 1t
for, which was the cruelest kind of
cruelty, according to Mills. But not
according to the court, which decided.
in dismissing the suit, that 1t was the
wife's privilege.
MAN and his wife," said the court.
"are one, and the property that be-

ROUGH ON THE HUSBAND.

Now turn to this sad story-where
a dutiful husband has to pay the pen
atty for his wife's assault. Mrs. George
Owens attacked and assaulted Mrs
Ellen Hilbert in Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Owens was present at the time. And
lust because he made no effort to stop
his wife he was convicted for her as
sault and had to pay the penalty!
New decisions hold that the we'd
ding gifts belong to the wife; that a
wife can't do as she pleases; that it
isn't cruel for husband to make a
wife accompany him on his travels;
that a wife may slash a husbands
clothing if she feels like it; that a
wife is a chattel and may be sought
with a search warrant; that a hus-
band may stay out till 1920 p. M;
that a wife may be high-spirited; that
ii a woman marries a six-dollar man
she Can't expect him to support her,
and that the nationality Of wife is
controlled by that of her husband.
And lastly, balm for suffering hus-
bands-a 500 hat is not household
necessary! A husband in moderate
circumstances doesn't have to pay
such a millin 9r's bill. Oh, joy!
So goes out the decision from Chi

VI mi Oh MdSlSIIdI0 NdlIAOW l.
Breen of New York city
falls this newest decision in the
eternal question-who is boss, hus-
band or wife.
'Loudes VS.. Loudes" was the case
In the Essex Market court for his
adjudication. In a word, Mrs. Loudes
sought an order directing Louis Lou
des, her husband, of IA Forsyth street,
TO give her a certain amount weekly
out of his SIS pay envelope. Her plea
was that he gave her but so cents a
day for herself and the two children;
naturally she wanted more.
"My WIFE," protested Loudes, wants
me to turn my pay envelope over to
her every Saturday night, sealed. She
wants me to give her every cent l
earn and make me beg her to hand me
out nickel every time / want cigar
or a glass of beer or car fare. That's
not a respectable position for hus-
band and father to occupy"
Mrs. Loudes owned up to all this.
"You want too much" declared the
learned court in words that brooked
no argument. ITO require your hus-
band to turn his unopened pay en-
velope over to you every week would
amount to tyranny of the sort most
dangerous to the perpetuation Of the
home as the sacred institution it is to-
day. A wife has no right to make
such demands upon her husband. The
husband is the sole owner of the
fund"
Having gone thus far the court went
further and took up the other burning
question: Has the wife the right to
go through her husbands pockets?
Here Magistrate Breen sided with the
wife.
IF a man has the right sort of
wife," said the court slowly and DELHI
erately, Il see not the slightest OBJ
lection to his allowing her full free
dom in going into his pockets while
he sleeps or under any other circum-
stances. The trouble with my wife
is that she doesn't get enough when
she goes into my pockets!"
But the question was on the pay
envelope only, and not on the pocket,
and so the case was dismissed. AS
for the pocket question the Breen de-
cision leaves it up in the air, because
all a husband has to say to knock it
out is that ''the right sort of a wife, "
to use Magistrate Breen's qualifying
clause. wouldn't want to go through
his pockets.
Fortunately, however, other judges
have been more specific in recent de-
cisions Oh this vital issue. And the
law is all with the wife. No law is
needed for the husband on this vital
question, because, it is argued can
the average husband find his wife's
pockets at all
