STATE, HEALTH BOARD :.
TO HELP FIVE COUNTIES
To Provide Half Of $4,000 Fund For
Full Time Health Department.

The Kentucky State Board of Health
In cooperation with the International
Health Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation is in position to financial
ly cooperate with five Kentucky coun-
ties In creating and maintaining a full
time health department. To this end
1t will give each OF FIVE counties $4,000
annually, provided the county provide
like amount, the $4,000 provided in
this way to be used in employing
trained physicians and an adequate
number of assistants, such as carpen-
ters and sanitary inspectors. who will
devote their entire time In preventing
sickness within the country.
In addition to this the State Board
of Health has recently created a bu-
reau of county health workers whose
activities will be solely devoted to as
sisting In and directing the work of
the five county health departments. 1t
Is expected that within year or two,
the contrast in the death rate in the
first five counties to establish full time
health departments, as compared with
the other counties in the State that
are making no effort to prevent sick
ness, will create a strong desire
among a large number of counties for
such departments.

COX THREATENED
HER LIFE, FIRST Wife
SAYS IN A LETTER
Wife Of Rev. +. G. Cocks From Who
He Seeks Divorce, Makes Serious
Charges In Letter to the
Court.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says /:

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
Charges made by Rev. Fred George
Cocks, when seeking divorce from
Mrs. Murtice Cox, whom he married
under the name of Cox, were denied
by Mrs. Cox, who is living at 1929
Twent-frst street, Denver, Colo. in
letter received yesterday by Judge
Charles w. Hoffman, Of the Court of
Domestic Relations. The letter will
be made a part of the records in the
case. Cocks has since remarked,
though his suit for divorce from his
first wife is still under consideration
by Court. Mrs. Cox said she feared
for her life when living with her hus-
band.
81 am so sorry to have this horried
life over again" Mrs. Cox wrote In re-
sponse to a telegram from the Court.
81 thought l was through with 1t all.
j cannot begin to tell you the least of
the 20 years we lived together. l have
tried to shut out the dark room and to
think of better things. He tried to
force me to get divorce, but told
him l never would"
Mrs. Cox said she left her husband
In Hox,e, Kan, in September, 1917,
| which, IL established as fact. Court
officials say, will prevent the divorce
being granted on ground of willful
absence, which muist be proved to
have existed for three years under
Ohio statuteE This was the ground
under which Judge Hoffman had plan
ned originally to grant the divorce.
HE got to where it was not safe
| for me to be around him." Mrs. Cox
| wrote HE told Ruth, my daughter,
that he would have killed me II |
had stayed, so l still fear him.
never kept company with any other
man."
Mrs. Cox said she at first obtained
employment as a saleswoman. and
that later she obtained work in an
advertising agency at Denver She
continued: "My very heart has been
torn out by man l gave my all to,
! | was forced to sign a paper provid-
| ing that he could have the boy and |
should have the girl. He had stolen
both children. He was a minister
from a business point, and not as
Christian"
Mrs. Cox stated their daughter, who,
Cocks testified, was with him in Van
Lue, Ohio, where he is in charge Of a
Methodist church, was with her. al
| though she said the girl passed most
of her time with Mrs. Lillian Swartout,
Philipsburg, Kan, sister of Mrs. Cox.
Cocks formerly was pastor Of Meth
odist church at Harrison. Ohio.
In her letter to the Court Of Do
nestle Relations, Mrs. Cox questioned
the sanity of her husband. She urged
that steps be taken to insure their son
good treatment in the future. but
made no comment as to whether she
thought a divorce should be granted
Judge Hoffman will investigate the
case further before reaching deci-
| sion.

Mother and BABE
BURNED TO DEATH.
OIL POURED ON GOALS
Mrs. Vincent Kabler and Small Child
Died From Burns In Fire at Mt.
Olivet-MethOdist Church and
X. Of p. Hall Threatened.

Mrs. Vincent Kabler, aged 35 years
and her two and half year old baby,
are both dead and their residence In
Mt. Olivet is mass of ashes today
as the result of fire which was start
ed by Mrs. Kabler's pouring coal oil
on live Goals In her cooking stove
about 3 o'clock Monday morning.
Mrs. Kabler was preparing to do her
weeks washing and thinking that the
Goals in her kitchen stove had died
completely out, prepared to make an
other fire to heat her wash water. AS
she held her little baby in her arms,
she poured coal oil into the stove from
a large can. Live Goals in the stove
caused the oil to burst forth in flames.
The can of oil caught fire and before
she could throw it down. the can had
exploded spreading flames all over her
and the baby. She ran into the next
room and threw her baby upon bed
endeavoring to extinguish the flames
on the child's clothing with bed
clothes and at the same time, she
made a desperate effort to extinguish
the flames which by this time had
nearly stripped her of clothing.
Neighbors burst into the house and
eXtinguished the flames which by this
time had horribly burned Mrs. Kabler
and both she and the baby were car
ried from the house which was being
rapidly consumed by the flames from
the kitchen.
The Mt. Olivet volunteer fire de-
Partment was Immediately called out
but the house was so much In flames
that they could not extinguish it. The
residence adjoined, however, the
Methodist church and the Knights OF
Pythias building and only heroic work
by the volunteer firemen saved these
two large buildings. Both caught fire
several times but were extinguished
before much damage was done.
The baby died about two o'clock
Monday afternoon but the mother
fingered in severe pain until about five
o'clock in the afternoon when she too
was relieved of her intense suffering
by death.
Mrs. Kabler is survived by her hus-
band, who is a hard working tenant
farmer and two children. TIE c:dest.
boy, was at work with his father on
the farm during the fire while the
oldest girl was at school. The sorely
bereaved family have the sympathy
of the entire community and once
again this section of the state has a
very vivid object lession which each
should profit by-e~es should never
be started with coal oil.
