SUES HUSBAND WHO
DIDN'T WANT HER TO
RUN CHICKEN FARM

After supporting her husband and her
children for several months on money
received from the sale of chickens OF
her own raising. Mrs. Clara Belle York
asserted today in a divorce suit filed
against H G, York that her husband
abused her because she engaged in the
poultry business.
York, she says. was content to live
off the proceeds of her little farm, but
thought chicken raising a game for
hoi polloi.
He abused her about it, she says. and
then finally, when she merely suggest
ed that he furnish some coin for the
children's support, he flew into a rage
and left.

Wireless Distress sionaIs.

1t will be practically impossible in
the future for wireless distress signals
to go unheard. as was the case at the
time of the Titanic disaster. Steps
were taken at the recent Radio-Tele-
graphic conference in London to pre-
vent this, and rule has been laid
down calling for almost constant at
tendance on the wireless apparatus
aboard ships. On vessels of the first
class the conference rule requires a
permanent watch. which means that
two operators must be employed.
Ships of the second class, which en-
ploy only one operator. must provide
a watcher for the wireless apparatus
during the first ten minutes of each
hour. This provision will allow the
regular operator to have his rest I'M
broken while off duty, and will neces-
state the training CT some member of
the crew to receive the distress signal.
It will be his duty to listen during the
ten minutes beginning each hour.

and not at Genoa, Italy.

Economizinn Electricity.

According to the Scientific Ameri-
can of recent issue, method of econ
omiZing electrical energy employed for
domestic heating or cooking is to re-
ceive the energy continuously at low
rate in a resistance apparatus which
transforms it into heat and then stores
the heat for use as needed. In a new
electrical cooking apparatus operating
IN this way the heating unit consum-
ing 500 watts total, or 10000 watt
hours per day of "a hours, serves to
keep a mass of cast iron hot enough
to cook food in ordinary utensils
placed in contact with it. The cast
iron block is thermally insulated by
being inclosed in a surrounding wall Of
lampblack or powdered silica, and a
movable block is arranged to be raised
above the main mass, so as to expose
it's upper surface when cooking is to
be done. The small current consump-
ton, less than that of an electrical fiat
iron, enables the device to be oper-
ated on the ordinary electric light wiz
ing of the house.

The "change of life" is most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
