A BANGOR BRUTE.
T9RTURES A CHILD
TO STOP ITS CRYING

Shocking brutality-so shocking that
the recital of its details made the
police gasp with horror, was disclosed
in the municipal court on Saturday
when Rodney Puffer of Brewer was ar
raigned on warrant charging him
with assault and battery on 2-years-
old child, Carleton Penney.
Puffer has been a boarder in the
home of the child's mother, on the west
side of Bangor, and the infant annoyed
him with its crying. This is what
Puffer did to stop the crying, as adj
mitted readily by him on the stand:
Choked the child repeatedly.
Thrust its head first into a pail OF
water.
Immersing it in water almost scald
Ing hot
Applying d lighted cigarette to its
neck and backs of its hands.
Puffer seemed not III the least
ashamed of his acts or alarmed at pos
sible consequences. On the contrary,
he seemed to regard his brutality as
an exhibition Of cleverness. Mrs. Jen-
ME Johnson, city missionary, heard of
the case investigated. and caused Puff
fer's arrest.

more you accomplish on a day when
the sun shines in full splendor than on
a day when the sky is overcast. This Is
not an imaginary relationship between
the suns rays and our own abilities. 1t
is an actual fact that the action Of the
sunshine. If 1t y not excessive. stimuli
lates nervous and muscular energy and
makes work seem lighter and easier.
For this reason the housewife ought
to do as much of her work as possible
in a sunny place. The kitchen really
ought to be on the south side of the
house when this is possible, and when
the housewife has sewing or mending
to do so she ought to seat herself by a
window in the sunshine, where the
light is clear and where she NAV bask
in the health-giving rays Of Old Sol.
One of the great advantages in early
rising for the houseworker is that she
may do as much as possible Of her
work by daylight. and as little as pos
sible by artificial light. This is especi-
ally true for the woman who is SUBJ
ject to eye strain, for since the human
eye was originally adapted for the rich.
mellow steady light Of day, 1t Is only
ldlUrdl tIlal IL cannot 10 us WOTk so
we'll by man-made substitutes in the
shape Of gas or electricity.
Some folk ina CINE that 1t is only in
f1ne sewing or reading that the house,
wife can feel the effects of eye strain.
But this is not the case. Washing dish
es by an improper light with the con-
flicting shadows that result from
standing in ones own light Is as bad
as reading fine print Cooking. too. by
a poor artificial light is very injurious
to the eyes, In spite Of the fact that
there seems to be no very fine work
connected with the task. But cooking
calls for clear vision. and often the
fumes and steam from cooking cause
considerable strain. which Is best OBJ
waited BY working In strong clear
light.
So II you wish to divide your tasks
so as best to suit your eyes you should
do all cooking, and preparation OF food
for cooking, when the light OF day Is
at its best. Almost all kitchen work re-
'quires constant eye application. while

THE MUNICIPAL COURT BILL.

Since Hot Springs is going to ask the legislature for a municipal court hili and Fort Smith is going to ask the same thing, and perhaps other cities of the state will ask the same thing. V hy not the representatives Of these cities meet and confer with view Of reaching a conclusion in a general bin that vii, take care of the whole situation, and having reached tho conclusion, rush the legislation through with their combined strength. at an early hoar or the legislative session.
 Hot Springs is to vote for a police judge next Apri in a general election. II is essential under our customs that demoemtic primary be held pre- yious to that general election. The primary must be held the latter part of February, and sometimes they are held in Jaauary even before the holi- day season.
 If we can change the order of things, and establish a municipal court, following the system inauguTat- cd by Little Rock, and put this city court on a higher basis, there is no doubt but that 1t will work out better for ali concerned.
 Of course the idea of the establish ment of a municipal court carries with 1t the putting of the justices of the peace on a salary and the placing of the routine business that usually passes through justice court into the channei of the municipal court. which ]; Is said has proved a very satisfactory system in Little Rock.

ALF RED MEIER

There are good citizens nowhere
were also good citizens in the past
there are citizens whom we now honor
and respect-anG again there are citi-
zens who have passed to the great be-
yond whom we honor and respect
more than some of those whom are
now with us in the flesh.
On Tuesday st, Joseph turned out
to pay the last tribute of honor and
respect TO a real citizen-a man whom
all hOnored and whom all respected
Alfred Meier-a man whom to know
was to honor and respect-a man who
was man in all that the word inn
plies and suggests-in short, a man
who was the greatest of all that words
can imply-a manly man.
Alfred Meier was of that sort-of
that cast of man-whOm it was a
pleasure and an honor to know-to be
numbered among his acquaintance
for he was of that type of rugged hon
esty which makes the man whom the
world loves. He had his faults-but
they were few, and what man is there
who does not have some?-but withal
that he was a man whom to follow
was to be in the right path and which
could lead to no danger or to no
wrong.
He was called away at a time when
he was in the best of his life-at a
time when he was of more service to
good than he could have been earlier
or later. Such men as he are few
and far between-and when such as
he are called TO the great beyond the
community in which he lived-in
which he was a great part-mourns-
as does all St. Joseph over the death
of Alfred Meier.
