EXECUTIONS
 l OF WOMEN

The widespread indignation arous- ed by the execution of Edith Caveu affords proof-strange as such an as- sertion may seem-that the world is growing better. It was not so very long ago that such an act would have been accepted as a, matter of course for in the good old days the fair sex enjoyed no immunity from the exac- ton of the extreme punishment for crime. Of the many executions of women which took place in old Eng land, that of Mrs. Anne Turner was one of the most remarkable. It was just three centuries ago today. on Nov. IS. 1915, that the famous beauty paid the penalty for her participation in the murder of Sir Thomas Over bury, who was poisoned in the Tower through her agency.
 Mrs Turner, who was famed for her beauty, was the com panion of the fascinating Countess of Essex, the daughter of the Earl of Suffolk The Countess had been married when only thirteen to the Earl of Essex, but she had little love for her husband but bestowed her affections upon Wis count Rochester, a young Scottish ad- yenturer, who had won the favor of royalty. Mrs. Turner aided the Coun-' tess in her amour with Rochester. The latter owed his rise in life Ia a~ge- ly to the friendship and advise of Sir Tn omas Overbury. Perceiving that his illicit love affair was likely to ruin Rochester. Sir Thomas urged him to give up the woman, and pass ed some severe reflections upon her chara cter. The Countess determined to revenge herself, and she and her lover induced King James to throw Sir Thomas into the Tower. He was poisoned soon afterWard, and Roches- ter and the Countess, who had di- vorced her husband and married her lover, were charged with the crime Mrs Turner and several others were accused of being accomplices. While the Viscount and his wife escaped with some years of Imprisonment, Mrs Turner was hanged. She had been leader in the fashionable world, and, by order of the judge, she was decked in all her finery be- fore being led to the scaffo1d.

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA

The Grand Duchess Olga, the eldest of the four daughters of Emperor Nicholas of Russia, will celebrate her twentieth birthday today. Ever since the war began the Grand Duchess and
 her mother have been among the anost4 devoted of nurses. and they have Aabored assiduously among the sick and wounded soldiers in the great mil itary hospitals in Petrograd. While engaged in these ministrations the Grand Duchess wears the regulation garb of an army nurse, and it is sad that she has carefully concealed her identity as far as poSsi ble. Neither the Czarina nor her daughter have evaded the more difficult and distaste- fUl tasks connected with the care of wounded men, but have insisted upon assuming their share of the burdens Duchess TatianaC the second. daughter Of the Car, who is now IS, has also taken part in the work of mercy, but the two younger girls of the Russian Imperial family have had to confine their n1inistrations to occasional visits to the hospitals. The Grand Duchess Olga was born Nov. Is 1895. fThe subjects of the Car had hoped the stork would bring a son and heir. but Emperor Nicholas expressed himself as glad that his first born was girl. Had it been a boy,''s he was quoted as saying, The would have belonged to the people; being a girl, she belongs to us.''l The Czars was. not quite so philosophical when Duchess NTatiana was born, and by the time two more little maidens had been added to the imperial family he was visibly down cast. It was not until 1904 that son was born to the royal couple, and, if there is any truth in the many sensa- tional runors which have come out of Russia in the last few years. it is un- likely that Alexis will ever occupy the imperial throne.

LUXURY BRINGS DECAY
 SAYS HUDSON M'KINI

That luxury and ease bring decay, was the theme of a lecture last night given by Judson J. McKim, general secretary of the New Haven Y. M. c. A. at the Peoples Presbyterian church. People today, he said. were better housed, better clothed and bet ter fed than in any previous age. Christianity today, he said, must learn how wealth and luxury may be Chris tianized and idea1ized. A large aud- fence heard him.

me much good. For two years it
has been necessary for one of my
family to use almost continually
very strong cathartics, considered
the best there is. We arrived
here Jan. 18th. Two or three
days after drinking this water the
medicine was discontinued. There
is now no necessity for its use. We
all think it the best water we have
ever used. This is the first time

Skin Diseases
Punta Gorda, Feb. 8, 1871
have found that the artesian water
of Punta Gorda will relieve many
skin diseases if baths are taken
frequently. In fact, there are
few diseases with which have to
contend that cannot be almost or
totally relieved by the persistent
and proper use Of this water,
drinking, bathing, etc. | use it
in many ways. With equipment
and persistent use, as good results
can be obtained as with the waters

Asthma and Hay Fever
Punta Gorda, Feb. 10, I915-In
my opinion, the mild equalized
climate of Punta Gorda and the
absence of dust, (there is no dust
here of any consequence and the
comparatively absence of pollen of
maturing vegetation, especially in
the fall of the year, is a very ia
vorable climate for asthma and
hay fever. | live at Lake Cormor-

Constipation

Punta Gorda, Feb. II, 1916
Having discovered by experience
of last winter that the water of
the artesian well, at the public
fountain near the hotel, was bene-
fetal to me, | came again this
winter and found that as a cure
for constipation, it is a complete
success taken before breakfast.
My physician had interdicted bro
mo settler and several other artifi-
cial mineral waters. SO it is very
agreeable to me to find a simple,
costless water, which eertaanly
answers this purpose and makes
me gain in weight. ! have in past
twenty-five years tried almost ev-
cry place in Florida and this place
seems to me to be the best for ell
derby people, like myself, who
seek rest and quiet more than
gaiety and pleasure. The balmy
air, the beautiful bay in front, the
boating, fishing, abundance of
tropical fruit, and driving makes
a combination which beats the
zero weather of Chicago all to
death.-R. S. CRITCHELL.
