WHY LIVE LONGER?
THE THIRTY BEST YEARS.

Bishop Manning Of New York's
Protestant Episcopal church is an
noycd because the Roman Catholic
church has annulled the marriage of
the Duke or Marlborough to Consuelo
Vanderbilt
Thirty-onc years ago they were
married in st. Thomas Episcopal
church in New York. Both had been
baptized in the Episcopal faith in in
fancy. The American duchess di-
vorced her British duke six years
ago; both have married again. Be
fore that they had two children. one
Of whom will be the next Duke of
Marlborough.
Msgr Lavcll, speaking for Catholi-
not annul marriage without good
reason, for a duke any more than it
would for a tramp"
"There might have been sinful
agreement between them before the
marriage, that would nullify the mar
riagc, such as agreeing not to have
more than one or more children, or
to divorce and remarry If they grew
tired Of each other"
The Catholic church refused di-
vorcc demanded by Henry the Eighth
of England, although he had the pow
or, and used it, to take away all the
property Of the Catholic church in
Great Britain. Henry the Eighth's
annoyance over that incident saved
Martin Luther. Charles the Fifth, to
oblige his friend Henry of England,
would not allow the Catholic authori-
ties to seize Luther when he appeared

that divorce incident there wouldn't
have been any Lutheran church.
A question that perhaps interests
the Vanderbilt family is, "Now that
the Duke of Marlborough, announc-
ing his intention to become Roman
Catholic, has had his marriage an
nulled, will he return to his wife the
seven million good American dollars
extracted from the w. X. Vanderbilt
fortune, previous to bis marriage, by
the intelligent solicitor that the duke
brought with him from London? The
answer probably is: mo. Findings,

of soup every year. The young lady,
fortified by course Of study at the
Sofbonne, in Paris, will earn 30 cents
an hour peeling potatoes. That isn't
much for an only child whose father
is worth fifty millions.
This highly educated girl should
first make sure that all mineral
salts in the vegetables and meat are
preserved in the soup, then move over
to the advertising department and
write about it. There she might
double her fathers output and in

American cooking methods usually
boil out the precious mineral salts
and throw them away.
Feed one rat abundant food from
which all mineral salts have been
extracted. Give another rat nothing
but plain water. The plain water rat
will outlive the other.

In women, the disease takes q

bles. The tongue Is dry, appetite
is absent, diarrhoea is a common
symptom. Sometimes the alb.
doninal dropsy is accompanied by
fever and acute pain. General
debility supervenes very quickly
and death may ensue in the
course of several weeks.
Why such difference in the
course of the disease in men and
women?
Post mortem examinations of
the liver of women so afflicted
have shown much more liability
to fatty changes under the influ-
ence of spirits than the liver Of
men in whom marked develop.
ment of connective tissue is found.
The female liver seems to have
a far less degree of power to re.
sist the toxic action OF alcohol.
This may be explained by the
different character of life men
and women lead; women usually
living a sedentary existence. Con-
sequently, the combustion of al.
cohol does not occur as complete
ly and as quickly as in men whose
usual occnpational activities con-
tinue through the entire day.

Frequently boys and girls from the

are given the opportunity to complete
their studies in Canada or the United

Mention should be made OF the
