CANYON HOSPITAL NOTES.

Miss Canter will be able to go nome

Mr.. Clements, who froze his feet
some time ago, is doing as well as

entirely successful.

Ten patients are receiving treat
ment att he hospital at the present
The little Burns boy, who was
struck in the necvk by SNOWFALL
causing an abcess which was cut, is
suffering heart complications and is
in critical condition. 1t seems at the
time he was struck in the neck he also
received a severe blow over the heart
which though not considered at all
serious at the time, has developed in
to grave hurt. He is resting some
what easier today.
Bob Odum continues to improve
slowly.
Mr.. Tish's eyes are improving very
nicely. The trouble is the result OF
case of smallpox.
Divorce is Creating Havoc.
Divorce is making such inroads into
the sanctity of the family that it is
but matter of a generation or two
when as many homes will be broken
up by divorce as by death itself, un-
less the present rate of divorce ceases,
is the prediction of Professor Fran
els G. Peabody. professor of Christian
morals at Harvard.
Professor Peabody declares that
the home is thing Of the past; that
the family has outgrown its useful
ness, and that the social ties are going
back to the stone age. These are
in nutshell some of the ideas that
Professor Peabody has been trying
to deal with.
1.-THE conference and permanence of
family life are today seriously threat
ened. Domestic instability tends in a
most startling manner to become an
epidemic social disease. The number
of divorces granted in this country is
increasing. 1t may be computed that
if the present ratio of increase in
population and in separation be main
tanned, the number of separations of
marriage by death would at the end
of the 10th century be less than the
number of separations by divorce.
THAT means that about every other
husband and wife will have to be
credited with at least one divorce in
lifetime. Families do not hold to-
gether as we'll as they used to because
there is less to hold them together.
This breakup of the family system
means what may be termed a rever-
sion of type, going back to condi-
tons of primitive civilization from
which the human race emerged"
