MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES
Decree Granted In One Case, Cross
Petition Filed In Another.
A decree of absolute divorce was
entered for plaintiff and alimony In
the sura of $2,000 allowed the defend
ant by the district court last Satur
day in the suit of Cam Tinsley vs.
Ethel Tinsley. Custody of the child,
Louise Tinsley, was given plaintiff.
All of the files in the case, including
the journal entry, were withdrawn
from the clerk of the court’s office and
receipted for by plaintiff’s attorney,
J A. I» but the decree of the
court is entered on the trial docket.
Katherine Splndler, through tier at
torney, E. IT. Whelan, on Monday
tiled an answer and cross-petition in
her husband’s suit for divorce in
which all of the allegations of cruelty
are denied and some serious counter
charges are made. The cross-petition
alleges that shortly after their mar
riage last fall Mrs. Splndler turned
over to her husband $1500 in money,
part of which she had brought to this
country with her from Germany two
years ago, the balance being her sav
ings from earnings while working in
Sioux City. She took a promissory
note for the money, placing the note
in a bureau drawer at home. This
note, the cross-petition says, has dis
appeared, and also alleges that plain
tiff refuses to pay back the money.
Further serious and sensational
charges are made against the plain
tiff, who is alleged to have attempted
criminal relations with the cross
petitioner’s 16-year-old daughter, May
Weisgerber, now the wife of Alex
Sommers, and finally accomplished it
during the absence of the mother in
Sioux City, by administering “medi
cine” for a cold which the cross-peti
tion alleges was whiskey.
The cross-petitioner asks that the
prayer of the petitioner be denied,
that she be granted absolute divorce
and petitioner directed to pay her
$1,561 with interest, permanent ali
mony, attorney’s fees and other trim
mine’s.
Miss Mabel Recovering.
J. fl. Meredith returned Saturday
from Omaha where he and Mrs.
Meredith went when they received
word of Mabel’s,injuries. Mrs. Mere
dith remained with Mabel, who, Mr.
Meredith says, is recovering rapidly
from her injuries.
The assailant, James Novak, a
young man and a linotype operator
who had been working on some of the
Omaha papers, has not been appre
hended yet. It is known, however,
that he fled to Chicago. Omaha police
officers had about all they could at
tend to last week owing to the cy
clone, but Mr. Meredith said the as
sailant no doubt would be captured
sooner or later.
The young man had been attempt
ing to force his attentions upon Miss
Mabel, who had declined to accom
pany him at various times. Incensed
at this he had written a threaten
letter to her but she had not regarded
it seriously. The young man had
been an acquaintance of the family
for several years, but the murderous
assault disclosed a viciousness of
character they had not previously
been aware of.
Miss Mabel was removed from the
hospital the first of the week and il
will not be long until she Is fully re
covered.

And Now, Madam, Comes
NATIONAL CANNED FOODS WEEK
The Highest Authorities
I bad written for perhaps ten years
warning American women against
canned foods. 1 said, put them up at
! home or go without them. 1 beg them
i now to use canned foods. We are
proud to have them on our table.
MARION HARLAND.
For seasons of natural shortage, for
periods, places and times vvueu liesh
goods are not available, the canned
goods fill a most important place in the
modern dietary, and the wholesome
ness, palatability and convenience of
the products are in most instances un
| questionable, and under modern con
ditions of life they are filling a larger
and larger need
DR. HARVEY W. WILEY.
These canned goods were essential
to the subsistence of the troops in the
Puilipplnes who were scattered thru
the Islands and subjected to unsanit
ary conditions and surroundings. But
the general good health of the army
there, especially during cholera and
pleaflue epidemics, when canned goods
were principally used, was primarily
due to the variety and wholesomeness
of the canned foods.
i BRIG.-GEN. HENRY G. SHARPE,
Commissary Department, U. S. A.
i Canning is the art of preserving a
food product in a hermetrically sealed
container, the preservation being ac
complished through sterilization by
means of beat. In its highest sense
the object is to retain the food in as
nearly a fresh condition as possible as
to appearance, palatability and nutri
1 tive quality, or in the condition in
which it is usually consumed. It af
fords the means of having wbolse
some succulent vegetables or other
products at all times and in places
where othhrwise the eost or the labor
of preparation would be prohibitive.
DR. A. W. BITTING,
Food Technologist, U. S. Bureau of
Chemistry. _
The discovery of canning by heat and
development of the industry enables
Nature to constantly empty her horn
of plenty Into the periods and places of
destitution, and puts the June garden
into the January pantry.—J. A. LEE.
I Millions of women in millions of homes will participate. Hundreds of retailers, gro- |
cers, jobbers ond manufacturers in almost every city and town are making canned I
fruit, vegetables, fish, milk and meats their sale features this week; we are one of them |
A Week of Pure Food the Country Over I
Thousands of women who now use
Canned Foods will buy their supplies
this week; thousands who’ve tired of
canning their own toods will take ad
vantage of it. This week is a climax
of the great modern deman for pure
food and economy. In Canned Foods
today is the realization of this nation
wide demand. In Canned Foods
Week is the proof of purity. And the
proof that the cost of the best of these
is within every housewife’s reach.
What Dr. Wiley Says
Dr. Weley, Marion Harland and oth
ers are printing their ideas in the news
papers in regard to Canned Foods and
their benefits—their cleanliness, purity
and food value. See what they say.
Look for recipes by University Instruct
ors in Domestic Science. See what the
Food Technologist of the United States
Bureau of Chemistry says about
Canned Foods, of which there are sold
in this country $80,000,000 worth year
ly. Get these people’s ideas on the
goodness of Canned Foods, the flavor,
the methods of preparation and their
health-giving qualities. See, then, if
you don’t want to USE MORE CAN

cured close to the canneries. Usually
not more than four or five hours pass
from the time these foods are taken
from their natural surroundings until
they are soaled in the cans, sterilized
at 250 degrees and ready for the mar
ket. They retain all their flavor, their
natural freshness, their purity and food
value intact. You open them in your
kitchen as good as the day the contain
ers were filled at the canneries.
And most of these foods are canned
by machinery kept immaculately clean.
These canneries are like modern

walls and ceilings are washed and
thousands of gallons of hot water are
daily used to scour and clean every
