          Charging that his wife would spend her afternoon in bed reading novels and magazines and smoking cigarettes,  Ralph Drake,  No. 956 South Tompkins street, has filed a complaint for a divorce in the Shelby circuit Court against  Florence Drake.  Billman and Shepard are his attorneys.
          Mr. and Mrs. Drake were married July 24, 1924 and separated November 19.  Mr. Drake says his wife told him that she hated and detested him and intended to leave him as soon as she had sufficient money and clothing.  The husband asserted that his wife refused to cook his meals or mend his clothing, and that she kept him and others in the house awake all night quarreling, nagging and crying.
          The husband alleges that his wife spent his wages for candy, cheap novels and cigarettes and motion picture shows, and that she failed to pay their legitimate bills.
