ONE KISS m TWO YEARS
Woman Uses This in Divorce Case
Against Clergy Husband.

San Bernardino. Cal, Dec. "a
How her clergy husband had told her,
the Sunday following their return
from their honeymoon, he was in the
habit of taking into his arms and con-
selling one of his women parishioners
because she had loved him and was
grief-stricken that he had married
another, is related by Mrs. Helen
Phelan Davis in her cross complaint
in the divorce action filed a month
ago by Rev. Benjamin J. Davis, for
ten years rector of the Trinity Episco-
pal church of Santa Barbara. Mrs.
Davis filed her answer and cross COM
plant in her bill today, denying all
the charges he made of mental and
physical cruelty, and setting up the
charges of her own.
Mrs. Davis, who is a well known
writer, declares her husband is worth
upwards o. $4,000 and she asks for
5000 a month alimony.
Only once in their married life of
less than two years did the rector
kiss her, declares Mrs. Davis. Only
twice did he ever. occupy the same
room with her.

Nervous Debility

The rush and hustle of this strenu-
Gus season will doubtless emphasize
and aggravat. nervous disorders and
whether from overwork or some de-
rangement of vital organs this weak
ened condition should not be dis
missed without proper attention.
The nerves, the controlling influence
of every muscle of the body. do be-
come weaken and fail to properly
regulate the organs of the human
anatomy.
Weak nerves must have assistance
or the result is disastrous. Only the
specialists who have made a careful
study of nervous diseases are capable
of giving that needed assistance.
The United Doctors successes in go
ing right to the basic cause of ner-
vous debility and correcting that ir-
regular condition or advising the
proper care, has distinguished them
as specialists of the highest order.

What Christmas
Means to the Sick
This May BE the Last Christ
mas for Many Who are At
fIicted with Chronic Ills.

Christmas to many poor,
weary person will mean a dreary
day of moody thoughts. True,
thousands of people who suffer
from chronic ailments will be
cheered and encouraged by low
ing friends and relatives. But
behind it all, there remains the
fact that the very thing for
which the sufferer yearns is not
within the strength Of relatives
or friends to give, HEALTH.
