ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in
the Fight Against Tuber-
culosls.

Just how serious problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
Of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with its plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 30. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number Of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
II is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national Office
and from the headquarters Of the $50
lnti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.

question hard to solve in this city.
for recent statistics show one divorce
for every four marriages. This is be-

matrimonial detachments in the Uni

marriages. and In the United States
one for every ~. England is at the

DIR. Charles A. Elwood. professor of
sociology in the State University. has
recently compiled the figures upon
which the divorce statements regard
ing Missouri marriages that failed are
based
He has found that 80 per cent of
the divorces are obtained by women
and In nearly all cases the allegations
made by wives are sufficient. Among
the reasons advanced by Dr. Elwood
for the increase of divorce is the de-
cay of religion. particularly In the
religious theory of marriage and the
family. Another probable reason .ad-

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders Of
physicians, who prescribed the drug.
at a meeting Of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board Of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as result Of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.
