FEARED MICROBES IN HIS KISS.
Martha Mead Refused to Salute Her
Husband, So He Claims.
Because his wife Martha had refused to kiss him for fear of spreading microbes and germs, so he alleges in his petition, S. J. Mead filed suit for divorce in the Independence circuit court yesterday. They were married in 1887, and he alleges that on many occasions when he asked her to kiss him she was very "frosty" toward him, and refused to press her lips to his, stating that she was afraid of microbes.
