A crude 1934 clipping notes Tunisia imposing a one wife limit with a 15 year minimum bride age and divorce rules, while an unrelated US honey output figure, court actions, and a lengthy Raleigh County Board of Education levy estimation mix with funeral notices and local civic items.

Rising medical costs fuel insurance boom and coverage growth

Americans seek more medical care and insist on newer costly treatments while health insurance expands. The Health Insurance Council says voluntary plan benefits are up one fifth this year as hospital coverage reaches a record 128 million.
