you will understand that this condition could only
be caused in one way 1t either caused be-
fore DEATH it the result of rape at the
time of the crime
Now then, the application of this fact is, if
Frank was moral pervert he could not have
been the of this condition to which the
physician testified. Therefore, the child must
have been immoral before the crime. The con-
illusions are absolutely incontestabe and yet
every issue of the Jeffersonian, for months past,
have reiterated that Frank was a pervert and
that the crime included the crime of sodomy.

Like hyena, he must unearth the little

Fer slunee! FOR SHANE!
Haven't I, for months and months, been
showing by reference to the facts in the
record that this child died in all her inno-
cence, and died because she would no. sur
render it?
What sort of man is this, who argues that
perpc5t can't 90 after a ri3tet0u8 girl?
He must have thought that Mrs Williams
was ge1y simple, indeed.
The moral peryert is apt to be especially
eager in pursuit of something fresh and
dainty.
We read Of incidents, connected with the
decay of Grecian and Roman civilization, that
stagger us by their enormity
What well-read person is not familiar with
the tragedy of the beautiful Greek boy, who
ran and jumped to his death in molten
cauldron, rather than fall into the hands of
the man, who was pursuing him?
What scholar does not know how Roman
debaucherY took the course of peryersity and
monstrosity?
What reader of the newspapers has for
gotten how he was shocked to read of liber-
tine peverts-in Northern cties-who were
finally caught up with, when the tiny girls
they had enticed, got possession of, and I'M
naturally used, told what had happened?
The true animus of Stockbridge, and has
01cn ei{e opinion of Myy Phdgan, are shown
by his reference to the evidence of Dr. Hurt.
Stockbrdge tells Mrs Williams that DR..
Hurt testified 'that she was not a virgin"
Dr. Hurt did not do SO.
DR.. Harris did not do so.
Nobody did so.
The statement of Stockbridge is wilful,
deliberate falsehood, cruel and cOwardly
libel on the murdered child.
The doctor distinctly swore that he had
'formed no opinion as to whether the girl
was virgin, there being no evidence upon
which he could conscientiously. base profes-
sonal opinion.
Why was it impossible to do so?
Because, although the uterus was that of a
virgin, and there was no sign of pregnancy,
the hynaep had been 1Wptoued.
When? The best the doctor could do was,
to testify that it might have been done few
minutes before death.

gamut of clothes. 1t was fastened with
one large button at the end of the v

Hints on Saving.

Much might be written in the way of
housekeeping suggestion on the "ex-
travagance of saving"
The typical New England housewife
of the olden time. being taught from
girlhood to save, saved everything, and
it is concerning this wasteful saving
that a few hints are pertinent.
One housekeeper of this class saved
every saucer that belonged to a broken
cup. and 1t required eventually a weeks S
absence and the courage of the entire
family to throw away a pile of useless
saucers of varying patterns and sizes
that had stood on the shelves for years
occupying valuable space and demand
ing the constant use of the duster.
Here are q few "don'ts" which the
housewife will find worthy of adop-
ton:
Don't save all your paper and string
Don't save too many paper boxes.
Don't have the kitchen table drawer
Uttered with paper bags. you might
use one, but you can't use a dozen.
Don't save too much dry bread. Keep
a supply of bread crumbs, but the
chances are that you will not use all
your stale bread for bread pudding.
Don't save many bottles; the amount
of space they occupy is not compen-
stated for by the amount or money you
receive if you sell them.
Don't save cracked or mutllated
dishes.
Don't save dirty rags. 1t does not pay
to wash them out.
Don't save opened bottles of liquids
without going over them to see If they
still are good many lose strength or
spoil after being opened. The TOO care
full housewife is apt to clutter her
shelves with iodine that has grown too
strong, oil that has become rancid, or
furniture polish that is merely dregs.

digestion.

A we'll known authority states
I that stomach trouble and indiges-
ton is nearly always due to acid
ity-acid stomach-and not, as
most folks believe, from a lack of
digestive juices. He states that
an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and
starts food fermentation, then our
meals sour like garbage in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a
toy balloon. We then get that
heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest,
we eructate sour food, belch gas
or have heartburn, fiatulence, wa
terbrash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast while it
is effervescing. and furthermore,
to continue this for one week.
While relief follows the first dose,
it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the as-making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the
kidneys and thus promote free
flow Of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive and is

T0DAYS HOUSE,

BY MARY LEE.
Spring Cleaning.

The advent of March naturally
brought the conversation at a certain
"omans club the other day to the
question of annual overhauling of the
house-what is generally called spring
cleaning" One woman had the temer-
ity to announce that she did her clean
ing throughout the year, but the ma
lorlty confessed to the necessity of a
more particular cleaning at least once
year, the time for discontinuance of
furnace fires and the storing of winter
ciothlng being the natural period.
A mouse. like wardrobe, begins to
look shabby at the end of the winter,
and the revival of nature kindles a
similar ambition in the thrifty house
keeper.
faihters and paperers are such
nuisance. said one woman, "and when
want them every one else wants

But it Is the fact
Tell us the fairy tale" said one
skeptfcal woman.
We'll. in the first place, I enjoy It

that unless l had helpers I would find
1t somewhat of a tax. When the wealth

people DO the mixing for me, so that
the paint is all ready TO use on deliy

mixed. and these YOU buy by the can.
Then ] get lot of different-siZed
brushes. They are not very good
brushes, naturally, and shed hairs. but
it is not serious Inconvenience TO
pick out a hair occasionally, and you
can throw away the brushes after using
with clear conscience, while the ex-
pensive ones must be washed and
saved. which is nuisance. ! buy a
gallon of turpentine. which I find is
necessary to clean both my rooms and
my helpers.
Then on a Saturday dress the
children in their oldest clothes, which
! have saved for the occa ion, and the
entire family starts painting. You have
no idea how children enjoy painting,
especially when it is the real thing. on
| painting days we have picnic lunch
| for I find that after knocking off wori:

''Of course. the painting is not done
