Parents Who Allow Daughters

AUBURN. N. r.. Nov. 1s.--Followins
are some OF the indictments made In
an address by superintendent Henry
ID. Hervey, against school girls who
expose their bodies through present
styles:"
Parents send their daughters TO
school so immodestly exposed that
they prove moral menace to the
youth OF our city.
Tho styles through which We are
passing have In many instances been
little less than scandalous.
IF mothers know how this thing Is
viewed by clean young fellows who
want to be decent, II would lead to a
rude awakening.
The modern home is conspicuous
ly failing to fix proper standards Of
fitness and modesty.
The mother cannot retrieve her
self or save her weak-wilied. self-in-
drlgent children simply by placing a
piece of paper In ballot box"

ABOLISH AXE IN
 GERMAN EMPIRE

Berlin, April 24-Agitation has been started in Germany to abol- ish the axe and the block, Of all civilized and cultured peoples, Ger many is the only country in the world today which has retained and still clings to this ancient form of executing the death sentence of the law. Even Russia, so often char acterized as benighted, has adopted hanging; France, often the most en-
 frightened nation, also still clings to it's additionally gruesome behead- iugs in preference to the less spec tacuIar and more refined form Of hanging, adopted by tEe greater portion of the civilized world, and to electrocution in vogue ill the United states. But France makes some claim for refinement in the tragedy of a human life by the fact that it executes the laws sen teuce with a machine, the mechani- cal guiIIotine, merely set in motion by human agency. The machine does the rest.
 In Germany society still rids itself of undesirabIes by the simple though primitive operation of sev- ering the head from the body with an axe swung by brawny arms just as was done-in England in the days of Mary, queen of scots' Queen Elizabeth and Henry the Eighth. The human butcher block has long been abolished in England. In Germany the idea has been and still is to a lage extent, that in crder to make human execution check upon crime and D prove deterrent to murder, 1t should be surrounded with as much terror as possible. Advocates claim that the qlistening axe and the blackrobed block are a greater symbol of that terror of the final act of the law than the hangman's moose.

DR. SyGOEN IS
 IN FRONT RANKS

Capt. Burrows arrived here on the last trip of the Princess May and brought word that Dr. l.. s. Sugden is showing his pictures in tn, Seattle Theatre and is LOW practi- caIly assured of success.
 On bis arrival in Seattle the Dr met all kinds of opposition and the party to whom was given the work Of developing and fixing up the films, spoilt them entirely and it was uec- essary to send East and have the work done all oyer again.
 Capt. Burrows states that despite stories to the contrary, Dr. Sugdcu has gone quietly on overcoming all sorts of difficulties, but tEac nov at last he is On the road to sue cess.
 The Governor of Washington State has taken great interest, and some films taken by Mir Claude Wales last summer have been added to Dr. Sugdeu's and much interest has been and is heinz shown by the public.
 Dr. sugdeu is leaving seattle in a week or so for the East, show ing the present enroute, and has been invited to Washington D. G. and while it is difficult to measure results, it is absolutely certain the small sum donated by the Skagway and Whitehorse merchants will be justified and much attention drawn to the Skagway route to interior points, even if the travel to Chisana does not materialise as expected.

Salt rheum comes from humors in
