alas for the day after! The
fifth Of July Juniors generally
spent in bed, variously band
aged; the day after Christmas
they didn't feel very WE'LL" and
so went to bed; the day after
the picnic aches and pains
played hide-and-go-seek all
over them and ran in several
different directions all at the
same time, so what could Jun
iors do but go to bed? When
they simply would not give up
and go to bed, they hobbled
around the house cross as an
untold number of sticks and
fully expected to hear their
bones creak once in while.
Sometimes they did not recover
their usual elasticity for q
week, but such is human nature
that they would go thru it all
over again to have another day
like the day before. In one in
stance the day before brought
a sad disappointment so it was
both right and proper for the
day after to make good"

The last half year has seen another
refusal 81 the Senate to enact a nation
i'll pure food law, and the abandonment
of a crusade begun by the Post Office
Department against harmful n0strunns.
Yet the establishment of some new safe
guards for the public against deleter-
ious food products and dangerous "med-
icinesn cannot be indefinitely deferred.
Or. Lederle, the ex-health commission
er, speaking before the International
Congress Of Arts and Sciences, pointed
out anew the need for a national food
law, and for q statute in line with those
of the European countries, which re-
quire the maker Of proprietary medi-
cine to print its tormnla ON the pack

influences which bar the way Of much
good legislation at Washington have
been able to dispose of the food bill, all
though the House has twice passed it,
and il stands favorably reported on the
Senate calendar today Legislation
against secret proprietary medicines has
made no progress iii Congress. Yet
there Is every reason TO believe that the
public opinion which can accomplish
these needed reforms is being aroused.

Byngton Charges Jury to Bring in Verdict of Guilty
and Mete Out Extreme Penalty of Death.

Almost the entire time at the Botkin
trial yesterday was taken UP by Dis
trict Attorney Byingtons closing ar
gument for the prosecution and Judge
Carroll Cooks charge to the jury. At
4:30 D. m. the case went to the jury. Dis
trict Attorney Byington, in his argu-
ment, which he began as soon as court
opened, said in part:
II agree with Mr.. Knight: we want
you gentlemen to try this case ac-
cording to the law of the State
and the evidence of the witnesses. 1t
is not a question of Mr.. Knights per-
sonality in this case. Even if George
A. knight comes before you and says
he wants to meet Dick Brown in the
hereafter and tell him he defended his
daughter that has nothing to do with
case"
Mr. Byingtonf next took up the at
tack of counsel for the defense upon
the late Chief of Police Lees and said:
II hope it will never devolve upon me
TO stand at the grave of the dead and
defile their names in behalf of a de-
fendant standing in guilt as this de-
fendant is Chief Lees performed his
work honorably, and one of the monu-
ments to his name is the accumulat-
ing of circumstances to tie guilt to this
womans name.
Il would be willing to have the twelve
Superior Court Judges of this city try
this case. as has been said by Mr.
Knight on the evidence and the law
There is nothing stronger than a chain
of circumstantial evidence. You can't
