Divorce Mill May SlowU Up?
East Worried Over Proposed Action by Nevada LEGISLATURE

vises a change of climate and suggests
a high, dry altitude for about six
months. Nevada offers the required
rarefication of ozone, and furthermore
there is sanitarium at Reno known
as the divorce colony, which has the
most remarkable record of cures ever
heard of. Hundreds enter the sani-
tarium every year and go 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. It is the court IS decree of
divorce. She suddenly finds that not
a 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. It 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 may never recover from. Further
more, Mexico may get some of our
wealthy citizens six months out of
every year. For with our sanitarium
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 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
ened action on the part of Nevada.

other illustration of the attitude Of

ing. With wealth sufficient to de-
mand place in society, she has pre-
ferred to step into the places of the
lowly, there to lend hand personally
wherever her assistance could bring
cheer or comfort to the needy. The
list of her philanthropies includes
many enterprises for the betterment
and uplift of her fellowmen. The Y.

Fighting With Wooden Bullets
Inundated Gameh

Ottoman has engendered the utmost
bitterness and hatred. For a genera
tion he has been molding the wooden
bullets that would some day be used
in defense Of his national integrity.
Within her own army the result is
the same. Military service under the
Sultan brought the worst Of abuses
Every Mnssulman is required to serve
seven years. But as no record of births
is kept many escape service, while
Others are forced to enlist second and
third time. No one serves who can
pay. A picture of modern military life
is given in La Revolution Turque"
as follows:
s'Qnartered in an isolated garrison
of Europe, Arabia or Africa, the pri-
waite is left without pay, without
clothes, without shoes, without bread.
The ministers, the projects and the Of
ficers steal the appropriations, rob the
commissary stores and even the ar
senals. Half naked, hungry, smitten
with fevers and syphilis, the unfortu
nate soldier is forced to brigandage or
revolt. In Mohammedan district he
goes hungry a long time before robbing
the inhabitants. In a Christian dis
trict each garrison is pest for miles

The Turkish soldier is not less brave
today than in the past Time after
time he has remained at the front
when weakened from lack of food be-
cause the organization at headquarters
did not send forward supplies. More
than one defeat chalked up against
the Turk was brought about by this
means. And here lies another cause
for the decline Of the Ottoman empire.
! Dissension within the ranks of the
government has served to thwart many
plans. The young Turk against the
old. education and freedom fighting to
supplant the ancient traditions of the
race, patriotism against anarchy have
| disrupted the nation for decades. The
policy Of the Sultan and his advisers
has been molding the wooden bullets
that are now so ineffective against
their enemies.
During all the years of treaehery on
the part Of Turkish rulers there ocea-
sionally rose up men of sterling worth
who looked to the future with eyes that
saw the conditions existing today. Of
these Midhat Pasha stands as the one
lpre-eminent example of wisdom and
craftsmanship. It was he who gave to
the nation the constitution which time
and again came to the aid of Turkey Is
rulers when intervention by the pow
ers threatened to set things right. But

1t is related that war correspond
ent in the Balkans, while picking his
way among slain Turkish soldiers after
hard battle, came upon some cart
ridge cases and was moved to give
them close examination. He found
that the case was of steel and the pow
der apparently Of good quality, but the
bullets were small pieces of painted
wood. Upon inquiry he found that
these cartridges were furnished for
practice shooting and had evidently
been mixed, through mistake or design,
with the regular army bullets.
In the light of late developments in
the Balkans the incident may be taken
as symbolical Of the entire struggle of
Turkey for the maintenance of her ma
tional integrity. Forced into a war by
her own acts of cruelty, with dissen-
sions within her own ranks, without
the organization that should keep her
army the fearless fighting machine it
once was, she has been fighting with
wooden bullets while the enemy met
her with the best weapons of modern
warfare and united purpose. Today,

A wall of woe has gone up from the
effete East over the sudden announce
ment that the state legislature of Ne
vada may pass law during its present
session extending the residence re-
quirement for Divorces from six
months to year. For without Reno
and its divorce colony the wealthy mis-
fits of the country will be up against
it. If the legislature does pass the
odious law there will be rush in the
heart-healing business up to the time
the new measure goes into effect.

Nevada has long been the mecca Of
wounded hearts. In fact, since South
Dakota increased the residence require
ment for divorce Nevada has done
about all the heart-mending business
for the country. It has become in real
ity an art, and many have adopted it
as a specially and made it their pro
fession. A pretty society belle decides
to try matrimony just for fun. After
a couple of months she decides that
she doesn t like it and the doctor is
called in to make an examination into
the condition of her heart. He finds
a small silver in it and extracts it. But
the wound thus left widens every day,
and after a twelve month has passed it
gapes wide open and the red blood
oozes and spurts until there is no love
left in the poor heart. The doctor adj

The situation was rendered more
critical by the strike of walters, affect
ing many of the hotels of the city
Cafes and restaurants have suffered
heavily because of insufficient help. and
some have threatened to engage ne
groes unless the striking walters re-
turn. Scenes of rioting in and about
several cafes have been reported. The
dining room force of the Y. M. G. a.
joined the strikers and many of the
better houses are affected. Scenes of
rioting were enacted on the streets, and
special police protection was found
necessary in many instances. One ease
was reported where the life of a pro
prietor was threatened unless the de-
mands of his employees were granted.
In all the activities of the restaurant
strikers, Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn,
the young organizer has been most
persistent champion of her cause. In
one of her addresses she urged a new
attack in order to bring the employers
TO terms. She declared that much Of
the food served in the restaurants was
unfit and urged her companions to make
public their knowledge of conditions in
the kitchen.

who knows anything about the adul-
teration of food said Miss Flynn,
about sending back food refused by
one guest to another, about highly fla
vored sauces to disguise unfit food, to

as to the rotten conditions in the kitch-
ems to be sent to the board of health
