The oregonian says "the murder Of
Mildred Green at Eugene Is another
argument against the abolishment Of
capital punishment" How or why is
It? The murder was committed while
capital punishment is the penalty.
The world has been legally killing
people for murder and other things
for thousands of years, and murder is
still rampant. The abolshment Of
capital punishment will not stop mur-
der, but It's a dead certainty that its
practice has not stopped it, A change
ty way of experiment cannot do much
harm.

animation for Woolwich. IL was OBJ
vious that his cerebral functions had
been in no wise disturbed by the treat

The thyroid gland which is situated
near the root of the neck at each side
of the trachea has for "A number OF
years been closely associated with the
nutrition of the body" explained Dr.
Gibson. 1T secretes or manufactures
a substance which is absorbed by the
blood or lymph. and exerts a very
powerful influence on the building up
of the body. Thyroid extract which
is used In cases OF stunted growth, in
taken from the thyroid gland of \
