SEEKS WATCH, LOSES WIFE
She Sees His "Ad,' Gets His
Number. Then Wins Divorce.

Richard Won Koch never thought when
he advertised in a newspaper he had lost
his gold watch that he also was going TO
lose his wife. But that is exactly what
happened and the loss Of the wife gre"
out of his effort to get back the lost watch,
which. however was not successful.
The advertisement said a gold watch had
been lost between some point on Broadway
and. the Hotel Roy. Won Koch asked the
finder to return the pawnticket II the tine
piece had been hypothecated. Now. maybe
Won Koch did not know the ways OF WON
on readers Of newspapers. He DID not
know that, after they have read all the
news relating to persons Of their own sex
and sometimes before-they carefully pc
ruse the advertising columns That Is
what Mrs Brta Morland Won Koch, his
wife did. And. Of course. she saw the
| advertisement about the lost watch. which
told the finder to return it to No. 81 East
SD street.
Mrs. Won Koch made an investigation,
which began at the Hotel Roy. There she
learned that her husband had registered
with another woman, not his wife In
fact. he had gone bacl; alone a few days
after he registered at the Hotel Roy, and
reported the loss OF his watch. lie was
asked why he had not returned before, ana
replied that he was afraid to report the
loss Won Koch said he suspected his com
panion at the hotel had taken the watch.
Anyway. without bothering about the
watch. Mrs Won Koch brought suit for
divorce, and Justice Mccall yesterday
signed the interlocutory decree. Now Won
Koch has neither wife nor watch.

PREVENTION OF TETANUS
Simple Precautions Would OBJ
viate Danger from Disease.

Although Independence Days are safer
and saner than they used to be. they are
still very dangerous. and no mother who
Is not in a position to take her children
entirely out of harms way can see the ma
tional birthday approach without some de-
gree of fear.
Perhaps the most dreadful OF the dangers
associated with patriotic celebrations Is the
hideous disease of tetanus and yet 1t Is an
entirely preventable one.
IF only we could get the necessary facts
before every one exposed to the danger
there need be no deaths from tetanus,"
said Or. f. Wallace Beverdge, OF the Cor
nell Medical School
The State Board Of Health" he told
Tribune reporter yesterday, has sent out
enough tetanus antitoxin to physicians and
health boards to prevent all cases of tetanus,
and a live-cent stick Of silver nitrate VIII
check the development Of the germ until
the antitoxin can be administered. 1t Is
a simple matter to keep a stick of silver
nitrate in the house, or to take ii away on
any Fourth Of July excursion, and to eau
tcrize any wound caused by gunpowder or
other means. Any one can do it for him
SELF and 1t doesn't hurt very much. five
cent bottle OF tincture of iodine VIII serve
the same purpose, and II the antitoXin Is
administered within forty-eight hours all
danger of tetanus will be obviated.'
Not only should these precautions be
taken on July 4, but all through the sum
mer. Dr. Beverdge says. The reason Is
easily seen The tetanus germ lives IN
the ground and the outdoor life OF sum
mer is a fruitful cause Of wounds. much
more fruitful in fact than 1t need De-
Picknickers leave broken bottles and tin
cans In their wake, small boys ight IN
breaking milk bottles on the vementS
and rubbish of all sorts is thrown on the
beaches in the expectation that the ocean
will carry il off. In the parks, one OF
their guardians testifes, it is almost
impossible to keep the broken glass
picked up.
To avoid contact with these sources OF
danger. so long as they are permitted to
exist. Is as important as to carry the stick
Of silver nitrate. and the fact that among
all the cases treated al the small medical
school DR. Beveridge doesn't recall a single
woman who got the disease from bath
ing wound is very instructive. Women
wear stockings and slippers while bath
ing and don't cut themselves as men do,
or If they do the germs adhere to the
stocking or slipper and don't enter the
flesh
New Workers have particular need to
guard themselves against this dreadful
disease. Dr. Beveridge says, for the soil
Of the city and its suburbs contains So
per cent more of the germs than that OF
the middle of the state.

SUMMERlNG IN TOWN.

A young city woman whose husband :
business kept him in town last summer
made the best OF the situation and turned
her apartment living room into an al fresco
place which became the favorite resort OF
all the city-bound folk who had the good
fortune to know her. Storing her Oriental
rugs and upholstered furniture she put
down a grass rug In soft green colorng,
hung some sheer green sash curtains at
the windows and covered the davenport
with 4 cool green slip. Near a window she
placed a low loungIng wicker chair, and
close at hand a wicker table. All orna-
ments that did not look cool were ban
ished, and green Jars Of growing ferns took
their place. the only towering plants per-
mitted being those bearing white blossoms.
Two electric fans did service when re.
quired. but that was not often. for ii IS
seldom that some cool breeze is not stir
