DIVORCES and WEEDS
IN THIRTY MINUTES

Divorced and married again within
half hour is the record of Elmer
Klinger, who celebrated his twentieth
birthday Wednesday.
Klinger was married at the age OF
II to a young woman whom he claims
was untrue to him. He filed divorce
suit last summer, charging her with
infidelity after he left the hospital
where he was confined for six weeks
with multiple injuries resulting from
a motorcycle accident.
Today Klinger brought his sweet
heart and mother to the circuit court
with him. He was represented by Al
torney Frank Strayer, who also has
power to perform marriage ceremo-
MES.
The few legal formalities were COM
piled with in short order and klinger
withdrew from the court room with
his intended and his mother to the
clerks office on the second floor. He
secured marriage license there, his
mother signing her consent, as he still
lacks a year of the required age for
males.
The attorney and justice of peace
then fastened the three to his office
on Main street and the knot was tied
in the presence Of Mrs. klinger

What Causes Tuherculosis.

Dr. John North of Toledo, O., is working on the theory that tubercu- losis may be due to a lack of lime in the system. as he says that while tubercular germs are everywhere, they only thrive in ripe soil and just what is lacking in persons subject to tuber- cular trouble gives food for thought.
 He says that there is less tuber- culosis among people living in arid re- gions and plants in such places have more lime in their composition than those growing in humid regions.
