TORTURE IN TRIALS.
his Baraarous System Was Used In

Europe For Centuries.
The use of torture in order to elicit
Information from persons accused Of
crime, barbarouS as it is, was little
practiced before medieval times. In
der Greek and Roman law torture was
only allowed upon slaves. though in the
latter days of the empire it was EN-
plQyed against free citizens if they had
been accused of treason to the emperor.
1t seems to have become part of the
law in Europe about the thirteenth cen
fury. From the fourteenth century
downward torture was a part Of the
legal system Of most European coun
tries. The Italian municipalities used
it to a very large extent. In Germany
elaborate apparatus existed for it's in
fiction in the dungeons of the feudal
castles and in the town halls of the
cities.
1t was used in the prisons of Ger
many when the philanthropist Howard
visited them in 1910. In France it was
part Of the Law until abolished by the
revolution, and in Scotland it was used
autll Lue felSu OF queen Anne. Inc
use Of torture seems never to have been
wholly sanctioned by the law Of Eng
land, although it was used frequently
by order Of the king in the Tudor pc
Rod. The royal council claimed the
power Of directing torture Warrants
against state prisoners in the tower,
and under James I. and Charles [. tor
ture was resorted to in state trials

DESIGN A BATHING SUIT FOR ME
b. BETTY BROWN.

Here is another chance to design
a bathing suit for me, and at the
same time get one for yourself if
your idea is one of the two best. This
outline has been printed once before,
so if you didn't like your first effort
you can try again.
All manner of suits have been en-
tered for consideration so far, but
the competition is yet young. It has
just reached the halfway mark. One
piece suits for girls who fairly live
in the water have been plentiful. On

mushroom shaped straw with crown
of blue satin, gaTnished with white
satin stars and stripes of red satin
across the white field of the brim.

the other hand, there have BEEN
numerous suits that would be spoiledt
by the first contact with the lake.
Both varieties have an equal
chance. Speed with which you re-
turn the designs makes no difference.
You have plenty of time and can
afford to be careful in outlining your
ideas.
There will be six more pictures,
ending with Saturday, April q.
Some contestants have already sent
in three or four drawings. They are
using the different outlines at least
once. You can use all II pictures, or
twice II, or a hundred. Pencil. pen
and ink or colors, it makes no differ
ence what you outline your drawing
with.
Use your own judgment, but get
busy and outline your ideas. This
design, like the one yesterday, will
be printed twice more. All together.
there are four different diagrams,
each of which will be printed three
times.
That means you will have plenty of
different diagrams on which to indi-

many as you wish and send them
all in.
Remember that the two girls who
give me the best ideas for my own

1t may not be generally known for

sell or give men wearing the military
uniform of the United States beer, wine
or spurious liquor, punishable by fine
OF one thousand dollars or by confne-
ment in the penitentiary one year, or
by both fine and imprisonment. The
violater is liable to arrest by U. S.
marshal and trial in the u. S. courts.

lots Of pain in perfecting his cream,

unusual pains in selecting and testing
these materials, and handles them
skilfully, freezing it in way that makes
it smooth and fine grained, and then
packs it in manner that prevents the
forming OF crystals. To fully appreciate
it you must try dish. Served and sold
