To have good health, the digestion
heart, lungs an kidneys, must work per
lectly. When there is anything wrong
with the digestion, heart or lungs, a
very noticeable pain or distress gives
prompt warning. Kidney trouble is
more easily overlooked, however, and
too often gains a long start. But kidney
trouble does give early signs, and back
ache, headaches, dizzy spells, rheumatic
pains, or bladder ills, should not be ne
elected. When these warnings appear,

Mrs. Esther Davis Seeks Divorce

Mrs. Esther Davis has filed suit in
circuit court, asking for decree Of di-
vorce from her husband, Ebert Nj.
Davis, whose treatment. she recltes in
her complaint, has been cruel and in
human.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis. the former 80
years old and the latter rs at the time,
were married at Woodland, Okla,
March 20, 1913. After the birth of a
son, Lawrence. in January 1914, ac-
eording to allegations, Mrs. Davis un-
derwent an operation that left her an
invalid for time. The husband, it IS
claimed in the complaint, became
abusive
'As time passed defendant S dissat-
isfaction with plaintiff, her manner
and her way of life, like wine with
age, seemingly strengthened. until he
would frequently uncork his wrath and
swear at plaintiff" according to the
complaint.
Mrs. Davis declares in her com.
plant. also, that her husband chided
her for attending church. She asks
custody of the child and $15 monthly
alimony. The hubsand, she says, is
now employed in Portland.
