Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-.
ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost Of life insurance,
Prof. James w. Glover Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan demonstrates that
every policyholder of $4,000 Or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder Of from
S16.7O at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis says that the combined
effort of every man, woman and child
Is necessary to bring about a radical
reduction in life insurance rates such
as Professor Glover has indicated.

Oddities of Justice.

That the whole theory OF penal
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 abb
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 counterfeiting in Ohio is twice
that of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that OF
counterfeiting.

EASTERN OKLAHOMA uQUORLESS REGION
The United States Supreme Court
Says There Shall Be No Oasis in
Desert Until 1928.

Washington. - Eastern Oklahoma
will remain a liquorless region until
1928, according to decision handed
down by the supreme court Monday,
if the federal law Of 1897 is rigidly en-
forced.
, The decision came in the habeas
corpus application made in behalf OF
Charles Webb of Vinita. The federal
act of 1897 forbids, under heavy pen
alties. the introduction of liquor into
the so-called Indian country" for
,period of twenty-one years. Charles
Webb tested that law by introducing
LIQUOR into the region. He was arrest
ed. but before he could be tried MS
lawyers applied for a writ OF haoeas
corpus directly to the supreme court
In a lengthy decision, delivered oy
Associate Justice Pitney, the supreme
court denied the application, holding
that the Oklahoma enabling act dld
not repeal the federal act, as far as
introduction of liquor into the region
is concerned. While the decision
holds that an individual may not III
troduce liquor, it specifically declares
that this DIES not affect state ols'

1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT

Think Of the suffering entalled 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 matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection OF
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it Is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept l., Bos-

each, with 32-page booklet on skin
