George Sims and Doyle Agree.

Sims, known as writer of crimi-
nal cases. agrees with Doyle that a
young mailman is the perpetrator,
and his mania is sort of blood lust
confined to animals. Like all mad
men, says Sims, he has periods OF
activity and Of quiescence.
Like a ripper" this man always
kills with identical circumstances.
The most amazing theory of all
comes from a gentleman who arrived
from a long distance. He declares
he has studied the case extensively
and knows the culprlt is "a controlled
ape" acting under the hypnotic in
fluence of somebody in Birmingham.

Young EdaIji is Convicted.
Young Edalji was convicted on cir
cumstant!al evidence that he had
been near field the night when a
pony was stabbed. He was sen
fenced to prison.
The outrages continued after his
conviction and the agitation by his
lawyers caused inquiry by A. Conan
Doyle and others. This resulted in
ais release afte- serving a three
years term, No compensation was
paid by thetgovernment, however, it

anonymous letter writing which was

ing occurred two valuable horses were
stabbed in the dark hours of We'd

another was stabbed in Walsall.
This has brought the assembled
criminologists to the highest pitch of

ExfraVagant Depletion of
American Supply of Timber

From an authority on the subject
We have gathered some interesting
and timely data as TO our production
and use of timber, says the Memphis
News-Scimitar. Every person in the
United States, We are informed, is
using over six times as much wood as
he would use if he were in Europe.
The country as a whole consumes
every year between three or four
times more wood than ali of the for
ests of the United States grow in the
meantime
The average acre of forest LAYS up
a store of only 10 cubic feet annually,
whereas il ought 10 be laying up Al
least 80 cubic feet in order 10 fIIv-

A RELIGION THAT
MAKES HAPPINESS

Here is an excellent test for any
soul wishing TO find if it is on the
right path to salvation:
Each morning ask yourself, on
awakening, if there is a human being
on earth for whom you feel any i'll
will; any one over whose misfOrtunes
you would rejoice; any one to whom
you would not extend a kindness, if
asked.
If you can answer your own soul
frankly in the negative, and if ypu
go forth toward the day with the love
of God and humanity in your heart.
hoping to do only good, then you need
not fear you are to be lost" how
ever your faith may differ from that
of all churches in the world.
If you cannot answer this question
in the negative, if there is any one
you dislike enough to wish i'll, then be
sure your religion is not the right kind
Only as it fills the heart full of love,
and, with pity for what is unInvabIe,
and only as it awakens the impulse of
helpfUlness toward the whole Strug-
Cling world, from human down 20 the
animal kingdom, only as it brings a
of universal kinship. is
religion of any use in the world hat

A Splendid Argument
for State Fairs.

The Ocala Star, edited by c. l..
Bittinger, one of the most progress
sive men in the state, contains the
following unanswerable argument On
the value of state fairs:
Yesterdays dispatches indicate that
the state fair appropriations will have
a hard road To travel in the legisla-
ture. If so, it is worse for the legis-
lature Everything in relation, edu-
cation is a plant of slow but peren-
nial growth. Fairs are educators. No
one of sense in these days of enlight-
enment disputes that question. - Flor
ida legislatures for 25 years have con-
firmed this impression. Its appropria-
tions through legislation has been un-
stinted, increasing from year to year
as the needs grow in pupils, school
and increased interest of their patrons
and not a word of protest, but a con-
tinuance clamOring for more. Then
why halt at appropriations for state
fair exhibit? These fairs are the hor-
ticulturists' and farmers kindergar-
den. Their usefulness and benefits
are not to be seen in year, but let
decades come and go with them and
then you could go back and see thaC
these appropriations have been the
hope and inspiration to the agricul-
tural and stock raisers of the state.
It is a good thing. So scod that the
ordinary mortal never has and never
viii see its full significance. but it has
in the past inspired and enthused the
souls of the select, that they have
gone forth in. the inspiration re-
ceiyed at these fairs and made sever
al blades of grass grow where none
wereeever seen before. These favored
metals have ever been the vanguards
Of progress, success and prosperity.
Keen them in the line of promotion,
aid and abet the Fundamental inter
est of the state in making richer, bet
ter brighter and more prosperous by
giving a state fair $4,000 to $4,000 a
year Not for one year but for a
quarter of a century, and then count
the profit.
Later developments indicate that
our contemporary may be mistaken
about the legislatures action in this
matter, but however that may be the
argument in the above for state fairs
is conclusive and unanswerable.
Results are what count and without
going into details TO show why GER
tain results have been accomplished,
we have only to point to the fact that
those states which have spent the
most money on such enterprises as
state fairs have developed the most
rapidly and become the richest. How
any intelligent man can, in this, the
twentieth century, oppose the princi-
pie of state fairs passes comprehen-
sion.

For a Sluggish Liver.

When your liver is really sluggish,
practice the following exercises at
least twice a day: Stretch one arm up
as high as you can. while with the 9TH
er one try and reach down toward the
floor. Then reverse the position of the
arms. You will find that you will IN
consciously bend the body toward the
lower arm. By this exercise the side
muscles are strengthened, and the liv-
er, which is like a sponge, is squeezed,
