CITES BIBLE SHOWING DUTY IS TO WIFE BEFORE WAR

A quotation from the Bible— Deuteronomy, Chapter 24, Verse s—' is cited by a St. Louisan in his appeal for exemption which the district board now has under consideration. This portion says: “When a man hath taken a new wife be shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with , any business; but h®' shall be free at home for one year and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.” This is said to be the first time a quotation of this kind from the old Nebraic law has been so cited.
