TWO KINDS OF CRIMINAL CURES
Eliminate Children by Sterilization or
Segregation at 80 and Sentence to
Cemetery or Penal Colony.

Chicago. Dec. IA symposium on
the treatment OF the criminal and
other social parasites was held at the
joint meeting of the Physicians club
of Chicago and thes Law club Satur-
day night These two theories were
advanced:
Elimination OF criminal children by
sterilization.
Treatment of criminals over 80
years old as habitual and either send
ing them to penal institutions for life
or putting them away in some other
manner, possibly by the cemetery
route.
DR.. William T. Belfield was the ad-
vocate of the sterilization idea. He
took up the biological aspect of the
criminal and after tracing the devel-
opment of the individual to the point
where he became n danger to soci-
ety. made plea for race suicide.
Morality is the arrest of the in
stinct by intellect" he said. "a child
Is a savage. II he continues to i'm
prove slowly, he has chance to out
grow his tendency, before he Is 80.
Before that he should be given all
the care possible. But when man
commits a crime after 80 he may be
set down as a rule to be morally bad
with no hope of improvement. For
the mature criminal would advocate
permanent segregation, either by the
penal colony or by the cemetery. The
indeterminate sentence with a parole
Is a radical error for the man over
80.
"The one hope of the material re-
duction of the social parasite Is IN
prevention. We must prevent the
criminals from breeding criminals
The great bulk of criminals inherit
arrested development, The state has
let them breed and impoverished 1t
self to take care OF their children.
DR.. ]. n. Hurry, secretary Of the
Indiana state board OF health, told OF
the Indiana movement" which Is
the education of the prisoners In the
Indiana reformatory to allow them
selves to be sterillzed. More than
800 of them have submitted to this
operation so far.

Abraham Brown of Winterton, N.

rience; he says: Doctors got bad

disease; two called 1t kidney trouble;
the fourth, blood poison, and the
fifth stomach and liver trouble; but
none Of them helped me; so my wife
advised trying Electric Bitters, which

CATARRH is CURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abaung
and Curing This Disease.

and Curing This Disease.
Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day now that Hyomel is
so generally known and has made so
many cures in Pendleton and other
towns.
Until comparatively recent times
catarrh was thought to be a blood
disease and stomach dosing the only
treatment. Modern science finally
disproved this idea Of the cause Of
catarrh, and found that It was a
germ disease, and, after many expert
ments, the remedy was decided to be
Hyomei.
Hyomei medcates the air you
breathe; It kills the catarrhal germs;
It heals the smarting and raw mem
branes of the passages in the nose
and throat; It cures all catarrhal
troubles.

from Nolin would not make a discord.
Nolin is beautifully located on the

the best apples, peaches, pears

county. We do not have to irrigate
as all our land is sub-irrigated.
Strawberries and blackberries grow
to perfection and they are from 10
days to two weeks earlier than Mil
ton. We are only about 700 feet
above sea level and we have the most
beautiful climate in Oregon.

We have musk melons right along

of it is, we don't have to pay 10 prices

Good apple and peach land can be
had for $3.50 per acre. Good whea'
land that will raise 25 to 80 bushels
per acre can be had for $50 to S2S

We have two good shipping points

COMMON SALTS AN ANAEsTHErc
Scientist Makes n Discovery That
Permits of Any Sort of Operation
Without Danger.

New York, Dec. 17.-Announce-
ment of the discovery of the new an
aesthetic, according to the American
today, will soon be made by the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search.
The new anaesthetic is nothing else
than plain, common salts. or, to give
il its scientific name, sulphate of
magnesla. 1t was discovered by DR..
Samuel ]. Meltszer, one of the Rock
efeller experimenters. It's greatest
value is that 1t permits any sort of
operation without any danger to the
heart Of the patient. General anaes-
thesia, it is said, may be produced
by the injection Of a 20 per cent So
luton of the familiar drug into the
nerve tract governing the sensations
