Death Penalty For Crime Centurys
 Disgrace
By Mis5 GAIL WILSON of Chicago Thensophied Association

~RIME IS A DISEASE, AND IT
 Is THE DISGRACE OF THE
 CENTURY THAT WE STILL ALLOW THE DEATH PENALTY. A COMMUNITY IS MORE RRUTALlZ- ID BY THE INFLlcTloN OF HARsH AND CRUEL PUNISH MENTs THAN IT IS BY THE oc- cURRENcE OF THE CRIME IT, SELF.
 The old point of view in the treatment of the laBbreaker, to which many people still cling SO tenAciously, was to allow the courts and the code to apportion the pen alties for crime, which were in all eases retalatory and revengeful, where the ofense was against prop srty or human life. The new point of view Is now DEMANDING THE VERY BEST THAT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INTELLI- GENT STUDY CAN PRODUCE for tho bettermant of life in a prac- hcAl RgY, - ...,-.

WILL NOT STOP GROWTH

One Of the easy and natural exaggeratiOns common when
 great war Is raging is the belief that the loss Of life and the de- Engagement Of the ordinary affairs Of the nations involved, must cause 8 marked decrease in the population, says the Cleveland Lead CT. On the contrary, it does not wholly stop the natural Increase, except in a country like France where there is practically no gain in time of peace, save a little by immigration. France is the only great country involved III the present war which will not continue to gain population, un- less the conflict becomes saul guinary beyond precedent and be- lief. 8Sa,
 Russia has a natural increase Of about 2,2J0,OOO or 2,3OO,O0o annually. The waste of war can not make much impression upon such growth. It may possibly be cut down to 1,50O,OOO 8 year, but the Russian Empire will cOntai many more people when the war ends than 1t did when bostilities began. ....yr.FA,i
 Germany's natural gain is about S00,OOO a year. The losses in battle and from camp diseases and the cheek upon the increase In population which comes from war conditions affecting marriage and birth, will not offset more than half a million of this annual growth. Much the same state of things exists in Austria-Hungary, where the natural increase is less than 1t Is in Germany but the losses of war are also likely to be smaller.
 France alone, of the great pow CTS engaged in the work of de- struction, will lose population while the war goes on. There IS no margin Of births over deaths in time of peace and little growth, even by immigration, to offset the losses of war.
 The United Kingdom has an an- nual increase, in time of peace, Of from 100000 to 85O,OOO but its losses from battle and disease due to army service and other causes in Cident to war, will probably be comparatively small and can hard Iy exceed 100000 a year, at worst.
 So even in countries bearing the strain and losses of a terrible and unprecedented conflict life will still prevail over death, as a rule with only one conspicuous excep- ton. The world will still be going forward where it's progress is most retarded and it's waste is most de plOrable.

salts. when dissolved in water, have the
peculiar effect Of dissolving tat. After
fifteen or eighteen bath treatments you
will notice that the muscular tissue has

AMERICANS FEAR
 LIPTON'S RACER

PORTSMOUTH, England, June G. Americans who have watched the per. formances of Lipton's Shamrock W are fearful for the results of the great race that is scheduled for next Sep tember for the America's cup. It Is said that Designer Nicholson has made a marvellous craft. The old Eng. fish plan of the boat has been aban- doned entirely, and the British build- CT has out-Americanized the Ameri- cans in many respects. His boat is wider and shallower than any of the three American defenders, and the plans contemplate greater sail area than that possessed by them in propor. ton to the displacement or size, as measurements for size have been fol- lowed in the past. It is believed here that in her the measurements have been "cheated"--to greater extent than in any ocean racing yacht ever built It is feared that, if the "scow with a fin keel" as she has been call. ed, can stand up with her light hull and small draught to cross the ocean and carry her great spread of canvas in the races, that she will be dang erous competitor to meet.
