CreOsOte.

This substance, which is rapidly
becoming part of the American diet,
is distilled from wood-tar. In It's
chemical action it is very similar to
carbolic acid, in that it is a powerful
antiseptic and readily coagulates al
luminous matter. In small doses it
is useful as a medicine. being used.
[ believe, as a stomach sedatlve
and also to allay the cough in tuber-
culosis.
It is also used in preparing the So
called creosoted block paving for
streets; til e creosote being fore
ed into the cedar blocks, and in
that way rendering them somewhat
impervious to decay.
Nearly all such foods as sausages
and inferior hams are now prepared
for sale in almost similar way to
the manner used in preparing cedar
blocks and they are a remarkably
good thing to let alone. Food that
has been creosoted is not only near
~ undigestible, but is positive loss
to the system, as it requires GER
tain amount of energy to remove
it and this energy can only be OBJ
tanned by eating some other food
which has not been creosoted.
Some day the man who steals an
other mans health by selling him
creosoted foods will be dealt with
almost as severely as the man who
steals another mans dollar; but until
he is, watch out for yourself.
Bread is good safe diet; so are
all the cereals such as rice, beans,
peas, etc. Eat less meat and more
vegetables.

LITTLE FALLS HERALD:

The State Association of County
Attorneys has gone on record as de-
string capital punishment and as OPP
posing the indeterminate sentence.
On both these propositions we be-
lieve them to be exceedingly mis-
taken. There has never been any
proof that the taking of life by the
state deters man from taking life.
In the days when there was execu-
ton for petty offenses, the hanging
did not stop petty offenses or fright
zen prospective offenders. The man
who kills in a moment of passion
does not stop to think OF the penal
ty, and the calculating murderer is
not deferred. but lays his plans to
escape if possible. An investigation
by the French government showed
a much greater fear of life imprison-
ment among criminals than of death.
if prevention is desired, and modern
penology is founded on that theory,
capital punishment fails. 1t has not
prevented, does not prevent, and
will not prevent. The indetermin-
ate sentence Is, in the judgement of
the greatest students of crime and
criminals in every civilized land,
the greatest step in criminal juris-
prudence ever taken. 1t means that
the persons sentenced are held until
in the Judgment of a competent
board they may be safely returned
to society. If the law is to be inter-
preted, as it once was as a revenge
that society takes upon the offender,
then of course indeterminate sent
enee acts are foolish. but the motives
and reasons which move men in the
commission of crimes are not easy
always to understand. The cases
may be complex. Society itself may
be particeps criminis. In order to
save itself society must save what is
worth saving in the offender. Under
the operation OF the indeterminate
sentence the prisoner must depend
on his efforts to become worthy of
freedom. His conduct and the evid-
ence of his good will are determin-
ing factors. The advantages of the
lindeterminate sentence were thus
clearly and succinctly stated in the
report of Committee on Prisons to

homes, honest and pure to try and
help their loven ones. Honest lodg-
ings they can not get without re-

news-boy's homes are not for them.
In the end the dive takes them in.
As to work 81 so to $500 week is.

honest employment. Rather hard
to send home two or three dollars

the need. And the windfall-the
rich man to rescue --how slow about
turning up! No bold, bad man with
dishonesty gotten SECURES for the
manly young hero to dispose of; no
madly careening carriage for him to
avert from disaster or if there is
one, an officious cop" to step in
and interfere in his way to the pri-
vate secretaryship and the beautiful
young heiress. All too soon comes
the time when he must beg. or
starve- or steal. A life Of ease dis

ment t b a two-tifty a week and
lodging in an alley. The police

indians and adventures until he be-
came hungry or cold. when he usu-
ally is not so slow about getting

tune in the city really means; poet
philosophers are sufficiently philo-
sophical to see that this wouldn't do

This is not meant in commentator

The wild west story is bad reading,

before, where one boy reaches the
reform school or does any harm by
attempting to follow in the footsteps
of Buffalo Bill one hundred may be
found who have reached that end by
trying to emulate the Horatio Algers

been dissolved. Midn light oil
