She Doubted His Faithfulness
When He Occupied State

NEW YORK. Jan. ia trip to
Albany on the night boat and letters
from q dream girl of the moon
light" caused Supreme Court JUS
tice Wagner yesterday to grant the
application of Mrs. Edith N. Genth-
ner for a separation from the Rev.
DR.. Joseph ] Genthner, formerly
minister in the Elmendorf chapel of
the Harlem Reformed Church, this
city. DR.. Genthner at present is
director OF the Industrial division
OF the West Side Young Mems

my dear" Mrs. Genthner testi-
fled the minister said to her some
time after the trip, what would
you think of a man, married, and
thirty-five, and a woman, married
and thirty-five, not husband and
wife, who could spend the night

When the minister's attorney, s.

Mrs. Genthner said:
''But it was not another man he
was talking about. 1t was him.
self"
The dream girl letters were
found in the minister's clothes
shortly after he left her in May,
1921, she testified. Helen Duthill,
of Blooming Grove. N. Y, identified
them as having been written by her.
Mrs. Genthner, who is living with
her two children at the home OF
her parents in Brooklyn, told OF
having received letter intended
for her husband. 1t was written
she said, by Mrs. Elizabeth Brew
-eter, a widow, sixty-five years oil
and a member of his former con
gregation. In it Mrs. Brewster said
her thoughts were wicked but very
human" and that "the moments
spent with you were so blissfully
happy"
Justice Wagner. in granting the
separation, said that witnesses had
failed to prove intimacy between the
minister and the several women
mentioned, but that the letters. con
stituted an act of cruelty and that
the minister had left his wife and
children and had refused a recon
ctliation.

KENTUCKY DIET
DEFECTS ARE
REVEALED
Corn, Beans, and Pork Insult
ficient Food for Children,
Experts Find.

Kentucky turned out so many
physically defective men under the
draft during the world war because
''corn bread and sorghum, dried
beans and fat salt 'middlings,
formed the year-round diet Of
Southern mountain children, the
Children's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor announced today.
The bureau has completed a sur
vey of child care and nutrition
made at the request of the Ken
lucky State board of health to find
'swhy a State famous for its pros
perity should turn out so large a
percentage of physically defective
men as the draft records showed. %
A certain mountain county in
the State was selected for the
Nlrvey and the report shows that
S.zly 16 per cent of the children
belonged to families able to pro-
vide ''the most modest require
ments of adequate living" Nearly
half the children were living in
homes in which the family income
was so small as to make mini
mum standard Of care appear i'm
possible. A large number lived in
shanties and sheds, where cold in
winter made habits of cleanliness
almost out OF the question, while
only about one-fourth of the chill
dren were found to have clothing
sufficient to protect them from
the weather.
The report points out the need
OF soil Improvement and suggests
the appointment of a nutrition spe-
cialist to encourage The raising of
more vegetables and greater utili-
zation of eggs, berries and other
available foods.

district two terms, as you know,

compare them with the roads when
1 retired. They cost . considerable
lot Of your money, but / feel conf
dent that full value was received
for every dollar spent. The roads
when I assumed office were too
narrow for the traffic, and it re-
quired the expenditure Of . con-
siderable sum Of money to widen
and straighten these roads and build
bridges. If you will look these
roads over now you viii find plenty
Of the work that / had done has
stood all these years and are, still
good. Ny idea was to build per
manent roads; and by that means
save money to the people in the
future.

for the benefia Of the people Of my
district. They are the people I was
interested in first Of all. and It was
my pleasure to give them employment
on the public works Of the district
and thus not only render . service
to the entire county, but to the citi-
zens Of my district Is well.
Ny platform is this:
Good roads at the least possible
cost to the people. Economy in
handling the county's business. One
hundred cents worth Of work for
such as roads, schools and other
public institutions. ] believe in
capital bearing q just proportion Of

mon and humble citizen Of the
