THE POETRY OF POISON.

The prison regulations at Geneva
are extremely liberal. so for many
years prior to 1884, hundreds of tour
lists from all over the world were per-
mitted to see and converse with Marie
Jeanneret, "the Swiss Brinvilliers."
Maries cell was a large, comfortable,
well-lighted room. and there she>sat.
day after day, making lace and exult-
ing in the fact that her fame was
worldwide.
Having no conscience. and being in
capable Of remorse, Marie has been
described by the historians Of crime
as a monster. However abhorrent her
character may have been. there was
nothing repulsive in her appearance
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-09-08

or manners. She was rather short
and slight and her face. pale as mar
BILE, was lighted up by large, dark, in
telligent eyes, and she had masses Of
beautiful black hair. Her voice was
soft, gentle and caressing. and all her
actions seemed to indicate an affec-
tionate. sensitive nature.
When she was tried for her crimes
and convicted, she looked so much like
a martyr that the jurors couldn't find
1t in their hearts to assess the death
penalty, which was then the pre-
scribed punishment for murder, so she
was given 20 years. The canton legis-
lators then reasoned that 1t would be
unfair to bring any other murderer to
the gallows after permitting her to es-
cape, so they abolished capital punish
ment. So Marie did some good in the
world.
She began experimenting with pol
sons when girl. She seemed to have
a fascination for her. She always kept
in her room medicine chest, and was
forever toying with its little boxes and
bottles. One day her room mate, Ber-
the Berthet. complained Of feeling Ill.
The helpful Marie opened her medi-
cine chest and said: Il know Just
what to do for you, my dear" So she
mixed up a tempting effervescent bev-
erage and handed 1t to Berthe, who
drank 1t eagerly, and a few minutes
later was in a paroxysm Of pain. The
landlady heard her screams and sent
for Doctor Lambassy, who saved her
life.
When Berthe had told him Of the
drink given her by Marie, the doctor
said: "You have escaped death by
hairs breadth. The girl made mis-
take that would have been fatal had
there been any delay in sending for
me. She gave you beIladonna."
That usually was the verdict when
ever Marie scored a victim. 1t was
assumed that she had made a mistake.
1t was impossible to believe that
girl with such a gentle. wistful face
could have administered poisons delib-
erately.
For time Marie dispensed her poi
sons as occasion offered, but she want
ed larger opportunities, so she went
into training as a nurse, and, although
she did not finish her course, she had
no trouble in securing employment in
the desired capacity. Nature evident
ly had designed, her for service in
the sick room, she was so quiet, so
gentle, so patient, her hands and voice
were so soothing. She went to nurse
Madame Chabloz, and promptly gave
her poison. which brought her to the
edge Of the grave, but the madam was
q strong woman, and she rallied.
Madame Juvet Of Geneva conceived
the idea Of establishing q private hos
pital, and Marie applied for the posi-
tion Of head nurse.

Il dout ask for q salary" said the
gentle, soft-eyed girl. II have private
means, and don't need the money. My
ambition is to do what good j can,
by ministering to the sick and suffer
ing"
Madame Juvet was sure she had
gained a treasure when she engaged
Marie. The hospital was opened, and
Marie soon was in full control. De-
spite her gentle, yielding manners, she
had a will of iron. The madame, as
well as the staff, took their orders
from her. Madame Juvet had two
bright children, a boy and girl. Marie
prOfessed to be very fond of them.
and one day she said to the mother
II am afraid Julie is very delicate, and
I am sure Emile is about to be seri-
ously sick" The mother was amused.
for the children were pictures Of
health. Meanwhile Marie told some
Of the servants, in strict confidence.
that she was greatly worried over
Madame Juvet. "She is a doomed
WOludu, Sdlu xudIlC, tCuu hCA lutC
in her eyes,"
Presently Julie fell sick and then
little Emile, and then Madame Juvet
took to, her bed, suffering miserably.
The doctors came and were puzzled.
They seemed to recognize the symp-
toms Of poisoning, but poisoning was
impossible. Was not all the medicine
administered by that gentle creature
with the yearning eyes? There was SO
much sickness in the house that Emile
was sent away, and his life was saved.
Julie grew worse and died at Christ
mas time, 1867, and a month later her
mother died and almost her last word
was an expression of gratitude to the
faithful nurse who had been at her
bedside night and day through SO many
weary weeks.
Meanwhile Marie had not been
neglecting her other opportunities.
During the lingering sickness OF
Madame Juvet three patients in the
hospital died, and it was afterwards
proved that their deaths were due to
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-09-08

poison. When Marie had finished her
campaign she and NJ. Juvet and
couple Of servants were the only sur
vivors Of the household.
Then Marie, still intent upon doing
good, went to nurse q Madame Le-
noir, and the madame's funeral oc-
Cured a few days after her arrival.
By this time her reputation as death
angel was beginning to attract atten-
ton, and she found it difficult to get
patients. The strange thing is that
nobody seemed to suspect her up to this
time. Time and again the doctors
had found indications Of poisoning in
her suffering patients, and yet they
seemed unable to believe that Marie
could be anything but what she
story of her career remarkable. She
was careless to the point of reckless
ness. She would predict the early
death Of people in perfect health, and
when these people died nobody seemed
to see anything strange in 1t. It
speaks much for her ingratiating man.
ner that she could 50 long be 'shak-
ing from out her condor wings invisi-
BILE woe" and still avoid suspicion.
When at last she was arrested, It
was easy to secure the proofs Of her
crimes, and tie indictment against her
accused her of the murder Of nine per-
sons. Her attempts at murder were
too numerous for consideration.
She was an artist In crime. She
had none Of the ordinary motives. 1t
was art for arts sake with her. She
never tried to profit by her horrid
deeds. She was willing to work for
nothing any time, II 1t would give her
a chance to remove somebody. She
was absolutely pitiless and enjoyed
the sufferings Of her victims. death
had such beautiful moments" she said,
when asked why she committed her
crimes. "There is poetry In poison"
she remarked, upon another occasion.
She died in 1884, in her little white
cell, and to the last she retained her
weird beauty. Her marble white face,
with its beautiful dark eyes, haunted
the memories of the thousands who
journeyed to Geneva to see the
strangest criminal Of modern times.

HEAR OF TRAFFIC
IN YOUNG WOMEN
State Purity Head Tells of
White Slave Trade and
Its Consequences

An open attack on the plan of segre-
cation and the formation of vice dis
trlcts and an appeal for help to over
come the white slave traffic, together
with warnings to young girls, were
given yesterday morning and last even
ing by Leroy Bowers Harnish, of Car
Isle. State superintendent of the
Worlds Purity Federation in Penn
sylvania, in addresses in the Enola
United Brethren Church and the Enola
United Evangelical Church.
Mr.. Harnish in his talk gave facts
and figures showing the results of the
traffic and said that three things only
can be used in fighting it-education,
law enactment and enforcement and
remedial work.
"One person is convicted in every
twenty-four hours for tradicking in
women. But one girl loses her best
gift every eight minutes" Mr.. Har-
nish went on to say. Twelve thou
sand more persons are employed in
the traffic in all its forms than there
were men in the United States army
at the beginning of the year. This
traffic has caused 45 per cent. of all
childless homes, seVsn-tenths of all
abdominal operations on women and
one eighth of all disease and suffering
Another way of combating the evil
is national marriage and divorce
law to require health certificate with
blood test.
Segregated districts give the traffic
the power of combination and police
regulation" Mr.. Harnish continued
"and forms market place for slavers
TO dispose of their victims"
Mr.. Harnish also urged parents to
teach their children the truth about
such questions and declared that until
there Is a nation of pure men there
will be no virtuous women.

in only half it's normal amount, then
when it is a case of building up the
tissues the system will only be able
to make use of half of the other food
elements even if these other food ele-
ments make up the main bulk of the
food.
This principle has long been recog-
niZed as regards plant life and growth.
plant in order to attain perfect
growth must find in the soil certain
minimum of each of many elements.
Consider, for example, the element
potassium. If only half of the neces-
sary amount of potassium be present,
then, no matter how abundant may
be all the other soil and air constitu-
ents, their normal utilization is linn
tied to one-half. The rate of growth
and the ultimate development of the
plant are consequently depressed.
'The absolute amount of potassium
employed in growth is very small
compared with the carbon or nitro
gen; but any deficiency in 1t limits
growth as surely as deficiency in the
more important elements.
THE substance of unknown nature
may need to be present in very small
amount, but If the necessary mini
mum is not available the utilization
of other constituents In tissue growth
or repair is infallibly deficient.
I'm the process of converting the
wheat grain to fine white flour these
elements are lost or destroyed. 1t
follows that no matter how much
nourishment they might otherwise
contain our systems cannot make the
best use of such nourishment owing
to the absence of those elements nee
essary to their assimilation"
The conclusions of Eddie and Simp-
son of the research staff of the
School of Tropical Medicine, Univer-
sity of Liverpool, throw still another
light upon the experiments of Hop
kins:
1T has been proved by Braddon and
other workers in the East that eX-
elusive use of polished rice as a diet
leads to a form of acdosis or periph-
eral neuritis. This disease does not
occur in those native races who use
whole rice or unpublished rice as a diet.
Our own experiments have been
extended to similar work in relation
to the stripping of the outer case from
the wheat berry so as to produce a
white bread instead of a brown bread
and we find that parallel results are
obtained when the outer layers are
excluded from the diet with both
wheat and rice.
These experiments clearly demon
strate that the outer part OF the grain
contains the essential constituents for
the nutrition of the nervous system
both in growing animals and in
| adults"
Eddie and Simpson could hardly
have been more explicit in their con-
clusions.
Benjamin Moore, chief of the bio
chemical department of the Liverpool
School of Tropical Medicine, as the
result of his laboratory research was
| forced to the following conclusions,
which America may we'll heed:
Groups of pigeons have been fed
on fine white bread made from white
| flour known to be unbleached and un-
adulterated, while similar groups of
pigeons have been given an ordinary
| quality of whole wheat bread.

own words as uttered in the form of a
scientic paper from the department of
chemical physiology, University of
Cambridge, will prove stumbling
block to many a miller of patent
flour. Here is what he saidc
THE superior value of whole wheat
meals lies in the fact that it retains
certain, at present unrecognized, food
substances whose presence allows our
systems to make full use of the tissue
building elements of the grain. These
substances of undetermined nature
are removed from fine white flour in
the milling.
IT began long ago a series of eX-
periments on the relative tissue-build-
ing values of fine white flour and of
flour made of the whole grain. These
experiments were made among others
in an endeavor to discover the nature

of the unknown substances which
have mentioned.
"All my work to date confirms my
belief in the superior food value of
standard whole wheat bread. After
definitely proving that young animals
grow with very much greater rapidity
on brown flour than on white flour, I
have been able to improve the tissue
