SAYING AN IDOL.

Freeing the film idol OF a million happers from
bigamy charge should the result of drawing
attention to the lax marriage and divorce laws
which prevail the United States. and start real
agitation for uniform national divorce law.
The arrest OF this film because he went
through a Mexican ceremony before the ink was
dry California divorce decree was in itself an
absurdty.
The fact that any rite performed should
have been evidence OF good faith and lack OF
intent to break any law 1t showed. on its face
desire to be conventional and comply with the
laws governing relations of man and wife
The violation occurred the fact that the decree
of divorce does final in California until
year has elapsed and consequently he was put to
elaborate and probably false defense in order to
escape the rgors OF the law
Had he remained outside of California for year
after his Mexican marriage he might then have
returned unmolested. Had he taken his bride of
day to the neighboring state of Nevada no charge
OF crime would have been lodged
Divorces are purely matters of law not of re-
lgion. And being of law they should be
general in effect and in cause.
Those who find reason for divorce in New
York, If they be rich enough. journey to Nevada
and secure their freedom as easily as they can
purchase package of cigarets.
Then then return to New York free and a second
marriage becomes valid under the comfy of states

who chose it the easiest place in which to nfiu-
ence legislature made insanity cause for divorce
in order to accommodate this nultimillionaire who
wanted to be legally free from a wife whose mind
was forever gone.

marriage Of first cousins in order that the son of

Perhaps We haven't got the moral

To desist a while from killing.

There are many small-time wars that

They are all across the ocean.

YOUR HEALTH By cd Or. r, 5

A few days ago had a letter from
a correspondent asking me if there
is any Jaw compelling the owners of
office buildings to install proper
ventilating systems. This writer
signed her name "Smothered"
don't wonder.
1t should not be necessary to have
law compelling the proper ventila-
ton of every place where men and
women work. It's Importance to
health and comfort should lead to
the proper ventilation Of every build
ing.
As a matter OF fact labor laws of
tho various states. as we'll as the
h 4tlth laws. demand proper ventila-
or. For instance. in the Sanitary
Code. which is the health law Of the
C y Of New York. every person who
owns or operates a building used for
housing or business purposes must
rns intain ventilation in such way
,hat the building will not become
q nuisance or a danger TO life or
health.
1t seems odd 70 think It is neces-
sary 10 have any laws on matters
Of such obvious Importance. The
employer of labor if he had no other
incentive than profitable returns.
should be glad 10 have his place of
| business we'll ventilated. There are
endless experiments showing the in
crease in quantity reproduction and in
efficiency by following improved
/ illumination and ventilation.
Rest periods ana fresh air have
done more to increase production
than almost any one OF the modern
! inventions devised for that purpose.

WHY CAN'T WE BE HAPPY.
Why can't be all be cheerful just as
well as all be blue.
Why can't We all be happy, bright
and gay?
Why cant we all join hands when
gloomy times come into view
And chase the walls and worries all
away2
Why can't we al be happy Just as
we'll as all be sad,
Why can't we sll join hands and
laugh and sirg2
Why can't we hep each other when
the times are getting bad
And let the world with JOY and
gladness ring?
Why can't we al be joyful when
the world is going wrong.
Why can't we call a meeting folks

to say, this weed should not be used
by the young or the fr2il. But any
one who makes use of tobacco should
bear in mind that hundreds of citi-
zens do not like it,
Every room where people work
should be so we'll ventilated that
there is never the odor of tobacco
in the atmosphere. and so that
a chemical examination will reveal
no undue quantity of carbon-dioxide
in the air. When we tIke air into
our lungs it undergoes a chemical
change and is expelled with carbon,
waste product Of the body. This
element is mixed with oxygen, form
ing carbon dioxide, and this mixture
is harmful TO human beings. Under
no circumstances should the air be
breathed again and again.
The exercise of a little ingenuity
enables anybody TO arrange a win
dow in such a way that there is free
admission of outside air and yet no
violent draft or current OF air to
blow the papers off the desks or to
cause discomfort to the inmates Of
the room. A board may be placed
against the window frame or a piece
Of muslin stretched across in such
a way as 10 break the current of air,
but at the same time IL permits ad-
mission Of fresh air from behind this
obstruction.
In every office there should be a
spirit Of cooperation. There are al
ways persons who are afraid OF
fresh air. and others who are eager
for II. But there must be free venti.
lation or the health and lives OF the
workers will be endangered.
Fresh air. day and night, is one of
the first essentials of good health
and long life.

HUNGRY AND THlRSJ1.
I'm hungry not for steak and bread,
But for the blue skies overhead;
I'm hungry not for meat and pie,
But for the white clouds drifting by
And for the banks beside a stream
Where 1 may rest awhile and dream.
I'm thirsty, not for wine to drink
In lighted halls where glasses clink
But for the days refreshing breeze
Filtered through fragrant orchard
trees,
And for the joys Of field and hill
Where weary eyes may drink their
fill.
1 need observation-disclosures the sort
OF table board or bottled quart.
But strength renewed by wandering
far
Where all the summers splendors
are,
A day or two where waters roll
And I can be refreshed of soul.
