rage, which is of more ancient
origin than the ceremonial mar
1iage designated by law, and
which is still recognized as valid
in most of the states. This is what
is known as the common law mar
riage" Unless some state law
specifically requires it, 10 par
ticular ceremony is necessary to
conclude valid marriage. All
that is necessary, where common
law marriages are recognized by
law, is an actual agreement to en-
ter into a matrimonial relation at
that present time, made by parties
capable of marrying under the law
and followed by their living to-
gether in the relation of man and
wife.
In upholding a common law mar
rage a Texas Judge &c t | Y
said:
Marriage was not originated by
human law. When God created
Eve she was wife to Adam; they
then and there occupied the sta
tus of husband to wife and wife
to husband. When God turned the
first pair out of the garden, He
gave the command: Multiply and
replenish (people) the earth'--which
was enjoined upon their expulsion
from the garden. When Noah was
selected for salvation from the
flood, he and his wife and his
three sons and their wives were
placed in the Ark; and when the
flood waters had subsidized and the
families came forth, it was Noah
and his wife and each son and
wife, and God repeated to them
the command: Multiply All of
the duties and obligations that
have existed at any time between
husband and wife existed between
those husbands and wives before:
civil government was formed. The
truth is that civil government has
grown out of marriages.; marriage
by cohabitation, not by contract,
which created homes, and popula-

it is absolutely essential, though
it should always be secured.
Statutes regulating marriage
usually specify the officers who
may solemnize the contract. Reg
ularly ordained clergymen, justices
of the peace and other magis-
trates are usually designated. Us
ually no particular form of words
is specified, it being sufficient that
the words used show the entering
into the status of marriage at the
time of the ceremony the affirma-
tive answer by each party to the
question as to whether the other
is taken as a lawfully welded
spouse is the evidence of the
meeting of the minds that con-
cludes the contractural element.
Later the presiding Official-be he
clergyman or Experimentation
lied by the law of the state to
perform marriages, declares the
parties man and wife, thus adding
the necessary consent of the state
and completing the union. Then
and not until then the parties are
married. Thus in the case first
stated, where the bridegroom
dropped dead during the cere-
mony, it would seem that no mar
riage had been concluded because
the ceremony was not completed
prior to the party's DEATH, and
therefore the woman was not mar
ried and could not assume the
rights of his widow.
When the ceremony of marriage
has been properly concluded un-
the statute, both parties having
entered into the agreement with
serious intent, the marriage is
complete and the parties are man
and wife, nothing further being
necessary to complete the rela-
tionship.

FALSE PROPHETS

port without mourning the dis
pleasure OF other nations for inter-

way we could justify occupancy
Of Vera Cruz in order to make ii
effective for the declared purpose
would be by de.laring war against

CONQUEROR OF SMALL POx

One hundred and eighteen years
ago this month the worlds first
vaccination by a physician was per,
formed. At that time, DR.. Edward
Jenner, an English doctor, who had
devoted 80 years to studying the
subject, drew lymph from the hard
of Sarah Novels, a miikmaid, who
had contracted cowpox while milk
ing rows. He applied it to the arm
of an eight year-old boy named
James Philips. 1t was the beginning
of the conquest of smallpox. At
that time smallpox was causing lilo
of all the deaths of the human race.
1t had destroyed or disfigured more
than a fourth of mankind. 1t killed
more than SO, OOO, 900 Europeans
during the Is century. The alb
sence Of pock-marks in those days
was a means of Identification. The
London police department issued
the following description of a GRIM
inal sought in the 18th century:
Thomas Rayly, a short burly man,
fair and fresh-colored, without
pock-marks.
Before the discovery of VAGINA
ton, small pox was as prevalent as
bronchitis is today. A half cen
tury before Jenner gave his discor-
cry to the world, the dread disease
wiped out 70 per cent of Green
lands population in a single year.
The Spanish explorers carried it to
the new world, and three years
after Cortez had landed in Mexico
over $500, 600 natives had fallen
victims to the scourge. More
North American Indians fell before
its invasion than fell before the
white mans gun. Their number is
estimated as high as 100000.
Today vaccinati,n has made
smallpox a negligible factor in the
list of human ills. 1t has practical
ly driven it out of existence as q
scourge Of nations. Backed by the
authority of law in many countries,
medical science has inoculated the
civilized races and made a pock.
marked face a rarity today. Before
Jenner discovered vaccination, Eng.
land reported small pox cases at
the rate Of 1000 to every million
inhabitants. Today the vaccine
point has reduced the rate to 20 to
each million. Universal vaccination
is compulsory in Germany. and the
rate has fall en- less than two to a
million.
