There is no doubt now that the
president has decided to send George

Divorce Mill May SlowUp?
It Worried Over Proposed Action by Nevada Legislature

vses a change of climate and suggests
high. dry altitude for about SIX
months. Nevada offers the required
rarefication of ozone, and furthermore
there is a sanitarium at Reno known
as the divorce colony. which has the
most remarkable record of cures ever
heard of. Hundreds enter the SAM
tarium every year and 90 away cured
The longest treatment ever recorded
was Just little over six months, while
the great majority go away completely
cured at six months and one week.
The belle submits to her physician s
advice and the treatment begins.
Surrounded by others of similar all
ment. with the sympathy of kind
friends and the gentle care of colony
specialists. her recovery is rapid.
Every day she can tell by her breath
ing that the gap in her heart is clos
ing up. At the end of six months the
colony physician gives her little plas-
ter with instructions to wear it upon
her heart. 1t is the courts decree OF
divorce. She suddenly finds that not
trace of the terrible wound remains
and she goes back to New York for an
other trial.
If the Nevada Legislature passes the
bill the divorce business is going to
suffer. 1t is sad to think of the effect
such measure will have upon the
wounded hearts of the aristocracy OF
the country. Experimental matrimony,
one of the noblest institutions OF our
nation. is sure to receive setback that
we NAV never recover from. Further
more. Mexico may get some OF our
wealthy citizens six months out OF
every wear. For with our sanitarum
shut down we have no other high. dry
climate that will do the business. The
climate of Reno acts upon the ruptured
blood vessels of the heart very much
the same as a green persimmon does on
your lips. 1t Fuckers them all up SO
YOU hardly know you have any. The
United States government ought to
take hand in it and stop the threat
eped action on the part of Nevada.

problem of immigration in relation to
its effect upon the future of our coun-
trv is one that must sooner or later be
come an issue, for the facts as revealed

A generation ago our population was
increasing steadily with an annual in

For several weeks past New York
has been in upheaval because of the
strike of 100000 garment workers and
the concurrent strike of walters in no
tells and restaurants. These strikes
have been most obstinate and have eli
cited much sympathy both from other
unions and from persons outside the in
fluence of labor. The large number of
women and girls involved is probably
in part responsible for this, for the
condition of many of these women is
very close to the starvation line. The
effects of hunger and cold have been
noticeable in spite of efforts to give re
lief by the establishing of depOts for
the distribution of clothing and money
and the opening up Of free lunch rooms.
The strikers demand better pay and
shorter hours. besides a general better
ment of sanitary conditions in facto-
rics and restaurants whore they are
employed
Much influence has been brought to
bear upon legislators and city officials
looking toward the betterment of con
dtions in the trades affected by the
garment workers strike. EX-President
Roosevelt announced that the eXecu-
tive committee of the Progressive
party would use its influence i'm the
legislature to secure the creation of
minimum wa.c boards in the garment
trades.
In speaking of the conditions among
workers in the garment factories, the
head of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union said. ''They are
worse paid than the workers in any
