NEEDLESS AUTO FATALITIES.

Two killed and two others seriously injured, one of whom may die, as the result of an automobile accident in the highway near Newtown, adds to the already appalling list of fatalities from improper control of motor ve- hicles. Each one emphasizes the cry ing demand that a halt be called upon such a needless waste of life. Not one occurs which should not be a lesson to every driver of a car for while each may think that he is proof against recklessness or fully capable of controlling his car, each fatality plainly discloses what might have been avoided by a little care or the sacri- flee of little speed.
 Although the exact cause of the Newtown tragedy may not be known until the investigation of the circum stances is completed, and judgment ought not to be entered until such a time, there is evidence, however, that the machine was making good. time, so much so that when the driver at tempted to pass another car and dan ger Ioomed up there was no way of avoiding it, and the harsh penalty was exacted.
 No such result was anticipated and such might not result under like con- ditions again, but there is as great need of preventive measures in main taining safety in automobile driving as in every other place where peril is to be avoided. Certain auto drivers are placing restrictions upon that busi- ness every day simply through the failure to recognize the responsibility which rests upon their control of the machine. 7

quest was refused. but the second was granted. Mrs. Lisle was accordingly beheaded in the market place of Win chester and her body was restored to her friends for burial.
 In Alice Lisle'S case she could not, according to the doctrine laid down by the highest authority. be convicted un- til after the conviction of the rebels whom she had harbored. But Judge Jeffreys disregarded this law and she was sent to the bar before either Hicks or Nelthorp had been tried,
 It was no easy matter to obtain a verdict for the crown, in spite of the fact that the witnesses prevaricated. Il. The jury consisting of the principal gentlemen of Hampshire, Shrank from the thought of sending fellow crea- ture to the stake for conduct which seemed deserving rather of praise than of blame.
 When the trial was over and the fate of the woman was known this excess of barbarity moved the pity and indig- nation even of the most devoted to the crown. The clergy of Winchester ca thedral remonstrated with the chief Justice, who was not mad enough to risk a quarrel on such a subject with body so much respected by the tory party.
 Not only the clergy and others high in favor at the court. but ladies of high rank, interceded for the Unfortu- nate prisoner. Feversham, whose TO- cent victory had increased his influ- ence at court, and who. it is said had been bribed to take the compassionate side, spoke in her favor. Clarendon. the kings brother-in-law, pleaded her cause. But all was vain The utmost that could be obtained was that her sentence should be commuted from burning to beheading.
 On the scaffold Mrs. Lisle gave a paper to the sheriff denying her guilt. The attainder was finally reversed by a private act of parliament in 1889, at the request of Mrs. Lisle's two daugh- terS, on the ground that f'the verdict was injuriously extorted and procured by the menaces and violences and other illegal practices" of Jeffreys.

THE CLAYTON BILL,

With the passage of the Clayton bill, tho antitrust measure which the ad- ninistration has so ardently advo- cated, but which in it's present dress is almost unrecognizable compared with its initial appearance, by both Branches of congress all that is now required is the signature of the pres ident to make 1t effective. It is in it's present form a compromise measure. The teeth have been withdrawn and by the aid of the republicans it has undergone important changes, but it is very seriously questioned whether 1t has contributed anything to ma terially assist in the destruction of monopoly.
 It was & long time Tsfore the Sher- man law was gotten to the point where it's real value was understood, but it is a question whether It is known just what the compromise measure which is to become g. law has accomplished or just what it means from the legal standpoint, the standpoint from which it will be called upon to produce re- suits. If it accoanplishes nothing the time which has been spent upon it has been wasted. If it weakens the Sher- man law the result is a detriment. If it is found to cause confusion and un- certainty it would better have been omitted. Its passage in its present form is far preferable however to the original but in case Of failure to solve all the problems that have been trou- bling small business, it means an encumbrance rather than benefit. It is confidence in national 1egislation and not uncertainty however for which business has been and still is seeking.

 From the view of prominent naval experts, the need of an adequate sea force cannot be neglected because of our extensive coastline and the i'm portance of the submarine and the aeroplane isSbeing strongly presented through the operations in which they have taken part with such commend able results.
 Yet it is question in the minds of many whether preparation is not an incentive to war, the contention being that had none of the large nations been making ready for a clash, none would have occurred, and yet the plight of Belgium, protected as it supposed by a peace pact, cannot be forgotten. The fact is, however, that the present war is disclosing how protection should be prepared for. either through greater defense or through disarmament and which course will be followed de- bends upon the crushing of militarism and the future. The wisest move re- mains to be determined and deter mined in ccncsrt.

THE MESSENGERS.

l Neal Rees walked quickly along the Camp street toward his own quarters at the end of the line of ba mboo i houses posted up from the er-soak- ed ground on the broad shelf of ledge between the mountain side and the Icanon in whose depths the waters roared to a lower level. He wore the mud stained khaki of man who had construction and in his arms he car ried a mass of gray orchids that would have been the envy of the most famous florists shops in all the world. As for Neal Rees. he had gathered those orchids with only the payment of a chamber up the mountain side after his days work: and the tune on the young mans lips as he went along was the tune of a man carrying flowers to his lady-love.
 "Mr Rees, Dads on the lookout for you to report immediately at tho of f1cei''
 Neal stopped short. Military regi- men prevailed at the camp and the chief construction engineers son was sort of aide-de-camp for general errand- going; at least he had made himself useful since he had come with Until they came the camp had been womanless. The boy had broken abruptly into the young mans thoughts of Anne Lyman.

 Dick openly approved of Meals WOOL ing.

 At the rude hut diSnified by the name of office Neal faced a sober, grizzle-haired man.

 The young man bit his lip hard. The railroad was finished from the scoast to this camp, over hundred miles Of marsh and higher land and mountain trail, the end of which was threading it's way still higher to the level of the plateau of the Cordilleras of the An des. At his quarters the chief was entertaining three guests who were on government inspection duty and on their opinion lay the possibility of needed grants Of money for carrying on the enterprise to it's completion. For the men to be entrapped here in the morning until repairs were made on the road below would be q calamity indeed!

 A smile twitched at the corners or the chiefs wide mouth.

 It was after midnight when Neal Ross stumbled along the camp street toward his own quarters. He had stopped a minute at the office 10 re port his work completed and left the chief there busy at some writing. It had been hard work to set things right down there at the waShout, but he had left the track whole ana ready for a train to pass in the morning.
 The rain was pouring down now and the sound of it mingled with the roar ing of the Chan-Chan waters down in the depths of their canon. There was no one on the street and the posted-up houses at either side Of the way were dark and silent. The chiefs dinner guests had retired

 Providence E, l., Oct. ', 1914. Dr. Percy A. Senior. Westerly, R. l.: Dear Sir: I am surprised to learn that you are threatening to sue the town of Westerly for damages in the sum of s50,OO0 for your arrest and in carceration on the charge upon which you were recently tried and acquitted at Kingston. I am even more surprised that you should have taken the liberty to use my name in connection with the matter without first consulting me. If you had consulted me I would have told you that you have absolutely no claim whatever against Police Ser geant West. Chief of Police Brown. the town of Westerly. the state of Rhode Island, or anybody else. Furthermore, I would have told you that you are lucky to be free again, and I would have advised you to return to your home and by life of sobriety, hon esty and diligence in your profession to establish again that good reputa- ton which you yourself destroyed. I cannot sanction your present course and would thank you not to use my name again in connection with such nonsensical scheme.
 Yours, etc,

ARE YOU FULL
 OF URIC ACID? Health Insurance for Meat Eaters

A well known authority states that the blood of every meat eater in America is filled with uric acid, the greatest foe to the kidneys.
 The kidneys fight uric acid, something they were never meant to do The result is they become weak from overwork, they get sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 Let kidney trouble develop and it will lead to such fatal diseases as Dropsy and Bright's Disease
 Nearly all rheumatism, headaches liver trouble. nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleepleSSnesS and bladder disorders come from weak, sluggish kidneys You can help the weakened kidneys and put them in good working order again by getting from your druggist about five ounces of Rheumasalts take two tea spoonfuls in glass of water before break fast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will perform their duties in a perfect manner.
