The Treatment of a Patient Without

The fact that ii painful operation WAS

true Of the children. They have become

Spring comes with its sunshine, its fresh
vegetables and all e,se invigorating. but
the children are in no condition to re,

Many parents call in the family physi.
clan. Many other parents take "a,:vun,
tnge of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: "Give
the children Cnstoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy of old, for they took
it themselves as children. 1t vas more
than thirty years ago that CaStoria made
q place for itself in the household. 1t
bore the signature of Charles II. i'lctrh-

efficient remedy in almost every home.''
Charles II. Fletcher has received hun
dreds of letters from prominent physi-
clans who have the same esteem for Cas-
toria that DIR. Mccain has. Not only
do these physicians say they use CnStoria
in their own families, hut they prescribe
it for their clients. First of all it is a
vegetable preparation which assimilatcs
the food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and

The Trial of the kochs,

FIOn VI" .hlNnna!htl S journal.
Although the family of DR.. George r.
Koch felt that his third trial for murder
was a great outrage 1t was worth going
through with. An aruuittal is worth in
fnitely more to him than a Disagreement.
The law which cid all t could to take Fl ON
him his life and his character has restored
him 10 the Community as well as II could.
The Koch case suggests the thought that
the money burden of such a trial as h. has
gone through should be borne at least in
part by the state. The Koch, family han
pened 10 have a little money. 1t haop.nnd
to be a family in which loyalty was
strongly marked and all the resources of
tho family were at the of the
defense. 1t has taken about all the ac-
cumulation of TIL" cider koch's lifetime
to defend his son from the charge of muir
der. Had a cloudburst happened in his
ne.shhorhood it could not have swept him
clear With less responsibility on his part.
oNor could the son have done anythirg to
prevent the charge which has been
brought. He had no: formed any bad hab-
its to suggest that some day he would get
into trouble. He had no enmities. no bad
companions. He was not idle. thriftlcss
nor u.ssipated.
Merely because he walked on the street
near where a murder was committed and
because a handkerchief with his initials
worked upon the corner was. found by the
dead man and because there was found
there also a lead pencil Ike one which had
oeen given young Koch he was indicted
and thrice tried for murder. lis father
has been stripped of his property to save

no responsibility for anything but the Yer.
