Amendments to Indiana Divorce Law Approved by Senate
The Senate passed amendments to the divorce law by a 37 to 3 vote. The act tightens residency requirements for filing, limits decrees to certain grounds, and details notice procedures and service for petitions. It sets three year residence for certain acts and flags when acts occurred outside Indiana as a bar unless covered by home-state law. It revises grounds to adultery, impotency, abandonment, cruelty, intoxication, and infidelity after three years, with conditional access to a divorce. It also clarifies notification when a defendant’s residence is unknown and requires personal service unless residence is already known or becomes known.

Courage in Daily Life Ethical Admonitions
A 19th century style exhortation urges steadfast courage in finances and conduct. It promotes paying debts when able, denying unnecessary luxuries, speaking honestly, avoiding costly appearances, making a will, explaining lending decisions, severing unprincipled ties, dressing frugally, valuing comfort over fashion, admitting ignorance, and hosting friends within means. It frames courage as practical virtue in everyday choices.
Nose as guardian of health and humor in old papers
