oddities Of JustIce.

That the whole theory of penas
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene, Smith of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the alb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny, in Della
ware ten years, in the District of Co.
lumbia ten months; the penalty for
arson in Pennsylvania is twice that Of
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
of burglary is twice that Of arson; the
guilt Of counterfelting in Ohio is twice
that Of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that of
counterfeiting.

1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do 80 much for
poor compilations, red. rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to +Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with $2-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER An PAotG

their home here. Both bodies lay on

were spattered with blood, the room
In a disordered condition and the
heads Of both the husband and the
wife crushed with some sort of a

Hudson and his wife came here
from Massillon, o. They had been
married about two years and in that
time had separated twice. Only re-
Gently had they agreed to live to-
gether again. Robbery was not the
motive for the crime. as nothing in
the house was disturbed.
From all Indications the killing was
the work OF someone who had a
grudge against Hudson and his wife
and had followed them here from
Ohio. Mrs. Hudsons father, Jacob
Axe, lives at Massillon.

Failing EyssIaht Responsible for an

A certain group of youngsters In an

the forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate a bedlam, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of a nearby apartment house.
He was quite old, and 1t was evident
that his eyesight was not the best,
but he finally succeeded in picking
out a youngster who was aiding very
strenuously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know It's against the
law to make so much noise?"
yes, sir" was the meek reply.
well, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in Jail, and then
you can never be president of the
