covered the original dimensions of the
grave, for the earth surrounding it is
firm and does not have the appearance
of ever having been disturbed. An old

fifteen years after it is made, according
to eastman.
''Just as the plumbers had to remove
the cellar steps to dig, so the murderer,

eastman said. s'The hole is so small
that the body was either doubled up
and crowded into it, or it was cut to
pieces before burial. The bones looked
10 mc as though they we're burned by
acid. 1t looks as though the murderer
threw acid over the body to hasten
decomposition TO cover up the crime,
for the men complained that the water
burned their hands while they were
washing the bones.
Skull Appears to Have Been Cleft
1.-The bones are discolored, being
mostly black with red and white spots.
The skull looks to me as if a blow
from a sharp instrument, like hatchet,
had cleft it on the left side near the
nose. That part of the skull is miss
ing. The back of it is missing also,
but small fiat pieces of bones were
found. These may be a part of the
skull.
"The tuft of hair was matted but
when washed was beautiful shade of
chestnut brown. What l at first thought
was piece of flesh, the size of the palm
of man S hand, was found. To this
was attached piece of cloth. am
not sure now that it was flesh. The
cloth is double thickness-a part of a
hem something like the end of an apron
string. 1t seemed to me as though it
was white muslin.'

At the home of Miss Burtner it was

AN ODD EDITORIAL.

Great movements often have small
beginnings. They start with an idea.
The idea spreads and we have re-
solution or reformation. Some day
you may be able to look back and
remember that you read the editorial
which gave life to the movement to
abolish the supreme courts. Here is
the article, word for word, as it ap-
peared in the Lake Arthur, La, Her
aid, of the date of April 1915:
The vets won their fight in the
supreme court for saloons in Shreve-
port. Now will some bright young
lawyer stand up and tell us, WHY IS
the supreme court? and what author
ity has the supreme court to review
a law passed by the representatives of
the people. Do we have a govern
ment by the people or a government
by a supreme court? If the supreme
court has the authority to say what
laws we shall be governed by. why
is legislature? Why go to the ex.
Pense of legislature if the laws must
be passed by supreme court before
they can be enforced2 II we are to

the use of borax where borax is nee
essary, or where for some reason

of the question, but attention should
be called to the danger of trying to

beware of perfume where a bath is
needed.
Where practical manure should be
placed in tight, tongued and groov-
ed box so that the larvae cannot work
their way down or out through cracks

BoRAx A FLY PREVENTATIVE.

Each spring when the antify cam
paign starts up the State Board of
Health is repeatedly called on to rec
ommend some chemical treatment
that will destroy fly larvae in manure.
To find that chemical which will de-
stroy the fly economically and at the
same time preserve the fertilizing
value of the manure appears to be a
somewhat battling question to scient-
lists but one they are hopeful tof
solving. In fact through a long pro-
cess of experimentation with differ
ent chemicals, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture believes that
it has found what may be relied on
as an economical, practical and fair
ly effective larvicide. 1t is ordinary
boraX.
The bulletin of the United States
borax treatment, using ordinary COM
of the favorable results obtained by
the use of borax says at pos
sesses marked larvicidal action and
appears to exert no permanent in
jury on the fertilizing value of the

per pound. to be one cent per horse
