the steel trade improve, as it is be-

the blowing in of a furnace or two
shortly after the turn of the year.
There have been some negotiations
taken up looking to some handsome
orders for steel rail and other prod
ucts and if there should be a consum-
nation by the end of the year, it will
not be likely that furnaces now on
basic iron will be turned on foundry. %

VITAL STATISTICAL LEGIsLATIo

Legislatures will meet this winter
in Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
M.assachusetts, Mississippi, New Jer-
sey. N6U York, Rhode Island. South
Carolina and Virginia. In four of
these states-Lou!siaha, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Virginia there
are no provisions whatever for the
proper registration of births and
deaths, except in a few of the lal'%al
cities where there is some form OF
death registration. Strange to saw.
says The Journal of the American
Medical Association, all four of these
are southern states, where, on account
of former epidemics, a reputation for
good health conditions should consti-
tute a most valuable asset. How
many people died in Mississippi last
year of malaria? What was the total
number of deaths last year in any of
these four states? Is the death-rate
rising or falling? Nobody knows. be-
cause there is no record kept of births
or deaths in these states. How
strange that men will carefully record
all business transactions, will insist
on books being kept correctly, even to
the difference of penny, will record
the birth and pedigree of their
horses, cows, pigs, dogs and cats, but
will permit their parents to die and
be buried and their children to be
born without any legal record of these
events being made! Bank balance
sheets, corporation reports, auditors
reports, are all recognized as records
of value, but in only twenty-four of
our states do we know how human

MRS. W.F.SALMEN
SECURES DIVORCE
History of Marital Troubles of a
Prominent Slidell, Louisiana,
Couple.

Covington, La, Dec. 15.-The final |
chapter in the marital troubles of
Frederick w. Salmen of Slidell, and
his wife. May Ella Salmen, nee Drane,
was written in the District court this
morning, when Judge T. M. Burns
granted the wife absolute divorce and
the sum of $780, Statutory grounds
were alleged.
Mrs. Salmen and her husband were
not In court when the decree was CIV
en-, she being represented by Henry
l.. Garland of New Orleans, and her
husbands interests being looked af-
ter by Gustave Lemle, also of New
Orleans. The grounds for the divorce
were embodied in a petition filed by
her attorney, and contained specific
allegations of domestic infidelity COM
mitted by the husband in New Or
leans during the present year.
Mrs. Salmen is native of Chica-
go. but her present domicile is New
Orleans. The husband filed counter
petition denying generally and sing
ly each and every allegation" contain
ed in the petition of the plaintiff.
The matrimonial difficulties which
eliminated in the severing of the mar
riage bonds of the Salmens were
brought out in the trial of J. Astro
Conlin, the heart healer" which took
place in New Orleans last year, and
held the interest of the public for
some time. Shortly after the trial
Of Conlin Mr.. Salmen instituted di.
vorce proceedings against his wife in
the District court, but this suit later
was dismissed.
The record in the case shows that
r the couple were married in Gretna
La, Jan. 2S, 1909, by Judge Dauen
bauer. The petitioner and her hus
band have been separated for one yea
and five months. There are no chill
