Gus occasions with his open hand
and cursed her.
In addition, Mrs. Newby
charges that Newby brought a
woman, Myrtle Brocknan, into
their home and endeavored to
make her live III the same house
with the Brockman woman.
Since that time Mrs. Newly de
clares, her husband has supported
this woman and is at the pres
ent time wasting his estate i'll
supporting her.
She asks that she be gi'a.itzd
$40 month temporary alimony
and that the judgment of the

How Diphtheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught a severe cold which deve-
loped in to diphtheria" when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered, as
there is a hundred times more danger
of his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chanberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly curses the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
iberia or any other germ disease be-
ing contracted. April
