RELIEF FOR THE
DIVORCED WIDOW
Of WAR VETERAN
Department of the Interior
Makes New Ruling A.
fecting Surviving Depend
entS of Civil War Men.

Washington, Aug. 10 (by the
Associated Press) The secretary
Of the interior has just rendered
an interesting opinion relating to
former widows of veterans of the
Civil war. Under the act of May
l, 1920, such a widow must show
that all subsequent marriages
have been dissolved and, in case of
divorce, that the same was obtain
ed without default on her part.
The records of the courts of the
various states, both under the act
of 1920, and prior legislation, have
been accepted by the bureau of
pensions as conclusive where the
husband obtained the divorce from
the wife, as showing fault on the
part of the wife.
The secretary now rules, how
ever, that where the husband
moved into some other state than
that where the wife resided and
obtained service by publication,
and there is nothing in the record
to show actual service on the wife,
the wife would be entitled to
make a showing that she was not
at fault and that such showing
could be made in the pension bu-
reau itself
The case in which the decision

2. High blood pressure.
3, Heart defects.
4. Kidney disturbances.
5. Intestinal and liver troubles.
6. Vague aches and pains, Of
ten called rheumatism and govt.
Z. Stiffness of the joints.
s. Apoplexy.
Old Age Symptoms
The symptoms associated with
fatty degeneration and fibrosis
constitute the signs of old age.
Physical degeneration after full
maturity is a natural condition for
man as well as for all other living
beings. The signs of old age are
normal for a person eighty years
of age; but they are abnormal for
one between forty and sixty. The
increased death rate among adults
over forty is due principally to
conditions which are normally as
ISOLATED with old age. The deaths
of persons dying from this class of
causes are usually ascribed to
heart failure. kidney disease, or
apoplexy, or sudden death without
definite cause. The causes of pre-
mature old age are complex. They
are associated with a high state of
civilization:
/. High living.
2. Overindulgence in alcohol
and tobacco.
3. Syphilis.
A. A sedentary mode of life.
5. The stresses, strains and
worries of modern life.
6. Intense application to bust
ness.
The evidence that these are eff
ficient causeS of degeneration is
that improvement follows their
correction.
Premature old age is prevent
able. and its causes may be con-
trolled by:
/. A more simple life.
2, Exercise.
8. Recreation.
An element that is common to
many forms of degeneration is
suboxidation. Oxidation in the
body may be controlled by regu-
lating either the supply of fuel
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-08-20

GUS waste products which are
largely those Of suboxidation.
Fatty degeneration is not strict
ly disease of declining years, as
it frequently develops during early
adult life owing to the lack Of eX-
ercise and to overeating which are
often associated with that period.
Start a 15-year-old boy in a bust
ness office, keep him there day
after day for years, feed him with
great quantities of rich food, and
allow him no exercise or recrea
ton, and he will develop an incur
able fatty degeneration by the
time he is 25 years old
The development of fibrous It's
sue throughout the body is nat
ural process during advancing
years. 1t is illustrated by the
toughness of meat of old animals,
and by the increase of lime salts
in the bones of old people. 1t may
involve all parts of the body, but
its evil results are especially evil
dent when the process affects the
vital organs, particularly the arte-
ries, heart, kidneys, liver and
brain. The following conditions
are associate with fibrosis:
l. Hardness and inelasticity of
the arteries.

las former widow of William Kea-
ton, who died in 1879. Several
years afterward the widow mar
ried man named Irwin. in Mis-
souri,. Irwin subsequently moved
to Oklahoma, and in 1904 obtained
"a divorce without knowledge Of his
wife.
Under the former practice, the
widow would be denied the PEN
sion because the husband obtained
the divorce. Under the present
ruling, the widow will be entitled
to make a showing, as a matter Of
fact, that she was not at fault.
Independent Scouts
Another interesting opinion Of
the secretary is in the reversal Of 4
decision of the bureau of pensions
and the permission of a pension to
Claiborne Beatty of Captain David
Beaty's Independent company Of
scouts.
Captain David Beatty organized
his scouts in 1862, and the COM
pany rendered service under the
tOIlillltiHu VI lllt army VI ltHntS-
see through the Civil war. The
troops, however, were never mus
tered into the regular military
service of the United States, and
consequently the scouts had no
status under the pension laws.
In 1870, however. an act was
passed for the relief of Beatys
scouts, giving them the same sta
tus as other soldiers. The pension
bureau, nevertheless, held for
many years that this did not per-
NIT Of pensions to the scouts, eX-
cept as TO prior legislation. Secre-
tary Fall has now decided that UNI
der the language of that act the
benefits of the pension laws,
whether passed prior to that time
or since, come within the purview
Of that act and that the scouts are
entitled to relief Hereunder.

food or the amount of oxygen. A
simple mode of life automatically
regulates the intake of food, it
cultivates the eating of a few
dishes simply cooked and the
avoidance of elaborate dinners
with alcoholic drinks. A simple
mode of life is an antidote for
nearly every cause of physical de-
generation.
The practical method OF con-
trolling oxidation is by means of
exercise. 1t is a life-saving act to
choose mode of life in which
some part of the daily routine re-
quires muscular exercise.
The mental antidote to the
causes of premature old age is re-
creation. 1t is slow suicide for
person to have no other interest
in life than that in a business or
profession. Both the mind and
the body require daily relief from
the continuous routine of a bust
ness or profession.
A measure of great Importance
in the prevention of premature old
age is periodic medical examina-
ton. Life insurance companies
are recognizing the fact and are
developing system of regular ex-
aminations for their insured. The
treatment and the prevention of
diseases of adult life is becoming
an important speciality in medi-
cine. In the great banking and
business districts of our larger
cities. you will find numbers of Of
fices of physicians who make
specially of examining business
men, not so much as a means of
treating them but as a routine
check on the condition of their
health. The life extension idea is
spreading even to the smaller
cities and rural districts and is a
movement that should be cultiyat-
ed and encouraged.

WALLACE SAYS YEAR
WAS BAD ON FARM
Secretary Lays Losses to Alb
normal Relationship of
Prices.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-American farm
ers. comprising about one-third of the
country's population, find themselves,
Notwithstanding their hard work and
large production this year. still labor
ing under serious disadvantage as
compared with other groups of workers
because of the distortionate relationship
of prices, Secretary Wallace Of the De-
partment of Agriculture told President
Harding and Congress to-day in his an
nual report.
There Is food in superabundance,"
Mr.. Wallace said, "and this contributes
to the prosperity of business and in
dustry for a time, but the inadequate
return which the farmer Is receiving,
and has received for three years. inevit-
ably must result in readtustments In the
the cities, which will not be for the con-
tinuing good of the nation"
There has been a greatly accelerated
movement Of farmers. and especially
farmers sons. from the farms to the
cities and Industrial centers. the Secre-
tary reported. saying best estimates in
dicate that during July, August and
September twice as many persons left
the farms for the cities as normally"
The Secretary renewed his recon-
mendation for rural credits legislation,
asserting that action should be taken
promptly to increase the maximum which
Farm Loan Bank may loan to an in
dividual from $4,000 to $25,0o0. He
advocated also readjustment of the
term loans may run. saying a system
y tuha .x,x he fa rvy1
er could borrow for periods of from six
months to three years. Creation Of a
new bureau of home economics was
urged by the Secretary to enable the
Department to extend its efforts toward
better economic systems in the rural
community.
Another problem requiring immediate
attention the Secretary said, was 'the
necessity of working out and applying
comprehensive plan OF protecting. re-
growing and utilizing our forests" He
said forest legislation should be enacted

States in the protection Of forests. CO.

Among the causes which contribute &c
the abnormal relationship Of farm prices
to the prices of other things Secretary
Wallace mentioned these: ~
Overproduction of many farm crops.
Continued high freight rates.
Maintenance OF industrial wages a.
near war time levels
Economic depression and deprecated

Interference with the efficient func
