quasi the Indictment. The court sustained the motion and
the case was dismissed.
Was this justice? Did the court perform the function
for which 1t was established? The accused may have
been Innocent Of the charge, as he is supposed to be until
proved guilty. That is a question of fact which could be
determined only after all the evidence had been consid-
cred. But he may have been guilty. If so, what a travesty
of Justice! What a blow at the very foundations of the
social structure! What mockery of sacred obligations!
No sincere, faithful citizen has any desire to attack the
courts. They are the bulwark Of his liberties and he be-
lieves In their integrity. 1t is right that he should so be-
leve. and that he should strengthen them in every way.
But this respect for the judiciary should not blind us to the
fact that because Of faulty legislation and complicated rules
OF procedure the claims of justice are frequently defeated
and crime goes unpublished.
Every community has its cases where technically con-
quers justice; where the greatest frauds are committed
against the public through intermfnable bubbles over every
possible point that may delay the action. The obligation
OF the courts to protect the rights Of the accused is made to
afford protection to crime. The very purpose of the courts
Is often defeated through a senSeless adherence to unrea-
sonable rules, as was done in the Texas case, where the
mistake of a single letter in a typewriter copy quashed
the Indictment. There is something wrong about a system
which will permit of such a mockery of justice.-Chicago

The sanitary lesson for the homemaker to learn is to
avoid the marshes and drain them before building and
keep free from all poo. of stagnant water, great or small,
on the premises, and keep che stables and barn yards free
from fermenting masses of decaying or organic matter.
To keep these insect pests out of the house, it should,
if possible, be so planned that the prevailing winds will not
blow from the stables, barn yard or any marshes in the
vicinity toward it, and then i'll summer use wire screens
on every door and window as well as inclose the porches
around the house. Italian physicians. experimenting in
the Pontine marshes to discover the cause of Roman fever,
found the peasants living side by side in ordinary canvas
and in tight screen protected tents, contracted this disease

cess, and escaped infection in the screeu-r~otected, where
they We're excluded. A nicely screened. shaded, cool back
porch is a sanitary blessing to the overtired farmers wife.
There she can prepare Il great part Of her food and have IA
comfortable couch to rest Oil, free from insect and annoy
ance. The children can play there and thus keep out Of

LIGHT is NOT NEEDED.
English Scientist Says Sums Effect on
Man IL Bad,

DR.. Charles e. Woodruff has made
IN exceedingly interesting investiga-
ton Of the effects OF tropical light
on white men. The origin Of his in
yestigation was an attempt to prove
or disprove the theory that the skin
augmentation Of man served to exclude
the short or actinic rays Of light whose
action is to destroy living protoplasm.
If this theory is true, it will explain
Mt once many anthropological riddles.
We find in It a reason why white
men, while capital %colonizers in cold
or temperate regions and sagacious adj
ministrators of tropical colonies, have
failed when they attempted themselves
to ~colonize in hot countries; why blond
types prevail in the cloudy, almost sun
less regions Of the north Of Europe,
brunette types in the dazzlingly light
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean, and the negro in Central AZ
RIGA; and why the type Of man liv-
ing in the t~ireless city is less blond
than that OF the countryman who has
during a large portion of his outdoor
life the protection of the woodland
and orchard.
DR.. Woodruff soon felt bound to adj
NIT that the sun is not the beneficent
deity we thought him to be as we wor-
shipped, but that he delights in sacri-
fees and Stays ruthlessly those who
trust in him. It is hard to believe
that man does not need the light, and
it is almost a shock to be made to
realize that 1.-THE vast majority Of land
animals live in absolute darkness" Yet
DR.. Woodruff leaves little reason to
cogency of his reasoning from univer-
sally accepted facts, he fairly bristles
with authorities whom he cites in sup
port Of his position.

The Success OF Banks That Pay Interest
on Deposits.

II will he interesting to a great many
people to know that the largest, strong.
est, and most successful banks In the
United States pay interest ON savings
account. All of the banks, both stat,
and national. of Lynchburg, Richmond
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York city pay Interest on saw
ings accounts, thereby securing large
deposits, that they are enabled 10 loan
ut n good rate OF interest and discount.
The stock Of these banks IL the most
profitable Of any In the country. More
than thrcefouIths Of the banks OF the
United States are now paying Interest
on savings accounts, and doing It sue
cessfullY,-- The American National
Bank, Of Graham, Va, has adopted
this plan, after very careful consideTa-
tion f the matter. II is the only bank
In this immediate community that op.
enly and fairly announces this, that il
will pay interest 90 everybody alike

There isno question as 20 the sccu-
rity OF your money when placed in a
national bank. amt tits decidedly more
secure where the bank Is progressive
and enterprising In their methods of
doing business, because all OF the in
forests OF the bank and It's depositors
are safely guarded. This bank, Offer
ing interest at it's very beginning In
business, and making arrangements
for placing and handling it's deposits
can do II proiltably much more 30 than
a bank having been In business here foI
n number OF years, and having secured
large deposits on which thoy pay the
public nothing and loaning IL out or
that basis and for that reason We
remain the only bank paying interest
In the community.
You are not bound by any contract
to leave your money any period OF
time, but can withdraw il whenever
you like, and If IL Is not withdrawn
within sixty days from the time OF
deposit the regular interest OF three
per cent will be allowed. This is des.
tined to be Of great help TO people with
money that they do not care to invest
permanently, because you draw inter.
est from the first day you deposit IL.
Your correspondence is solicited
where you have any intention OF open
ing a new account, either as an indi-
