Peculiar French Justice

French justice is often perpleXing.
The court of appeals at Orleans has
Just condemned Mile. Clementine to
three years imprisonment. And on the
evidence Mile. is a clairvoyant who
must have possessed at least an I'M
eanny insight into character, for she
duped so many and to such a plausible
degree that young woman suffering
from an abscess in the arm cheerfully
paid down $500 for this delightful pre-
scription:
ION leaving my house" ordained the
clairvoyants oracularly, you shall
touch with your injured arm the tail
of the first animal you encounter and
the evil will pass from you into it,"

complaint she diagnosed as "tubercu-
loss of the heart" This obstinate mall
ady she did not cure, but her treat

tendency to hypertrophy in the pa

be conjured by being enclosed in the

clairyoyant, promised to obtain.
Finally there was a butcher, who for
$50 received an exclusive Tip" about

Opposes Federation

M. Barthou is determined to break up
the confederation generate du Travail
by hook or by crook. This general coun-
ell of French labor unions is the body
responsible for the mutinies in the
army against the three-year law. The
argument which will be used by the
government for suppressing the con-
federation generate due Travail is that
trade unions are legal, but that fed
erations of trade unions are Illegal
The argument of the Confederation
Generate du Travail is that If unions
of workmen be legal, a federation OF
such unions cannot possibly be illegal.
The evidence obtained on the search
warrants carried out at hundreds OF
trade unions on the charge of anti
militarist propaganda has not been of
much value. The safe containing the
treasure of the Confederation tener-
ale du Travail, having first of all been
sealed up by a magistrate, has been
opened and found to contain the sum
of $3634S
"Is that all?" asked the magistrate
Alas, il is was the treasurer's reply.
AT the offices of anothed fereation, that

terial to bake her bread. She, too, sent
her child to the elderly lady. Alas for
the best of all possible worldsi The
elderly ladys" was a monster. The
children she adopted were a thousand
times more unhappy than ever they
were In the poorest home in which they
had eaten the bread of affliction. The
elderly lady" and for that matter her
husband too, beat her charges unmer-
cifully, made them sleep on the floor
uncovered. and subjected them to a
hundred brutalities. She took no money,
YOU understand, from those who sent
the children. They were. 1t seemed, a
kind of channel through which her
cruelty could pass. She wreaked an
inhuman hate upon the helpless.
For five years the elderly lady,
filled the cup of her child victims bit
terness and then the law heard their
cry She was sentenced to 13 months
Imprisonment, and her husband to two
years. Photographs of her appeared in
all the newspapers; of her and her
victims. The little seamstress and the
little boulangere. taking up their jour-
nails one day, read the whole story of
the persecution, read, also, that the
child whose portrait they saw in the
page before them had been handed over
to the poor law, as an infant of whose
mother no trace could be found. For
the elderly lady and her husband, in
common with the highly respectable
gondolier" of whose terrible taste for

equally never declare with a mind
sincere" where any of the babes they
reared came from. In the other cases
the children had been claimed but this

You foresee the dfficulty-two
mothers and one child. And just as it
happened long ago in the story, so it
happened in life the other day; in life
in the twentieth century-both moth
ers claimed the child.
In each case it had been sent from
Brussels about the same time, and in
each case the mother was now more
able to feed it and to fend for 1t than
at the time 1t chose to enter the world.
And the law found itself faced with the
same dilemma as Solomon, and in these
days it cannot even be suggested that
the sword of Justice cannot be drawn
which that royal psychologist found so
efficacious.
Madame Marechal continued positive
and adamant. The child was hers.
Nothing could shake the belief of Ma
dame Gilbert 1t was her child. Both
counsel were equally eloquent and con-
vincing. The Maitre Pathouot, who ap-
peared for Madame Marechal, had an
inspiration. Why not call In NJ Bertil-

NOW TO PURSUE PLEASURE
Since Wise Men Have Disagreed,
There Seems Nothing to Prevent
Ones Own Ideas.

The American Medical association
tells us that ozone has no hygienic
value which seems too bad considering
how carefully we have been trained
to believe in it's efficacy. But perhaps
there is hope for us yet, since DR.. Hill,
who is professor of physiology of the
University of London, takes issue
with his American colleague. DR.. Hill
says that ozone has a distinct value,
not because it kills germs, but be-
cause it removes odors and the like
that are injurious because they
are unpleasant Now here we have
distinct indication of better things in
medical practice. We have long been
of opinion that whatever is unpleas-
ant is bad for US, and we have endeav-
ored in our humble and unscientific
way to rule our lives accordingly.
That is why we object to cold mutton
and to be contradicted. They are bad
for us. We felt it was so without
knowing the reason. And now here
comes the new medical science to con-
firm our convictions and to urge US
unnecessary as it happens-to the pur-
suit of pleasure.-San Francisco Ar.

What is Woman. s.
Beauty but Health !?
And the Basis of Her Health and
VigOr Lies tn the Careful Reg
uE1fiOn of ffle BOzceLS.

If Woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
salIow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. SO many
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintlly
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. G. S.
Vance, of 511 S. Ray ST., New Castle,

gestion so severe that she thought she

stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use Dr. Caldwel's
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children. 1t
is also admirably suited to the require
nients of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or infrmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills
or purgatives. These should always be
