Grace V. Howell, who was convict
ed of the murder of her husband,
Thomas S. Howell, by jury in the
circuit court several days ago, must
serve a life sentence for the crime.
Mrs. Howell was brought into the
court room yesterday and, after Judge
H. Pierre Branning had denied mo-
ton for a new trial, the woman was
sentenced to serve the remainder OF
her life in states prison.
When asked what she had to say as
to why sentence should not be passed
upon her by Judge Branning, Mrs.
Howell remarked:
What | had to say, Judge Bran
ming, I have said to God"
The woman made no scene while
being sentenced by the court and was
later led back to her cell in the coun-
ty Jail. Only a few persons were i'll
the court room besides the lawyers
when the sentence was imposed
George A. Worley, Mrs. Howells at
torney gave notice of an appeal and
will have ninety days in which to filt
bill of exceptions. Judge Brannini
also denied Mr.. Worley's motion il
arrest of judgment.
The expense of the appeal will h'
borne by the county, the defendan
having taken an oath of insolvency.

"LET THE FIGHTERS
HAVE THE NURSES"

Save nurse for the wounded
Don't be selfish to your sick
neighbors."
Don't leave an eXpectant mother
without essential nursing care!"
This advice is being given by Red
Cross speakers in the nurses drive
now under way. The purpose Is to
bring home to the public the impor-
lance to the nation, of employing
graduate nurses in private homes
only when their services are essential
to saving life.
The army and navy already have
drawn from the private civilian prac-
tice more than twelve thousand nurs-
es some ten thousand of which were
Red Cross nurses, assigned them un,
der the terms of their enrolment by
the Red Cross to active duty in the
Army or Navy Nurse Corps.
More than twenty thousand add
tional graduate nurses must rally to
the colors within the next few
months in order that no wounded
soldier or sailor may lack for any
thing that skilled nurses can con
tribute to his recovery or restoration
to the fighting line.
i When this army of nurses is II
military uniform, every remaining
private nurse, hospital nurse, ant
public health nurse will be needed
to help the sick in many places. A
, the same time the only way to as
, sure that those very sick or recov
, ering from surgical operation shall
have essential nursing is for the pub
, lie to help each nurse to serve sey
eral patients at time
, In hospitals each nurse minister
to a number of SICK and the visitin
: nurses going from home to home ca
give absolutely essential attention t
, number of families. To monopt
q lie the time of graduate nurse t
y care for one patient who is not dan
c gerously i'll is to deprive many sic
y of few hours of life-saving attel
, ton, and to lessen the number
J. nurses that can be spared from c
o william health protection to nurs
n our men in uniform.
) Don't employ nurse unnecessa
lily.
Don't employ nurse on a case
minute longer than she is absolute
g needed.
Retaining a nurse in war tin
merely because you can afford
III nay her, or find her services or col

So far Lakeland has not awakened
to one of the biggest tasks that has
yet been put up to her-the putting
over Of the sale of her allotment of
$180,0O0 worth of War Saving Stamps.
in few days, however, this matter
is to be brought very prominently to
the attention of our citizens, the
Lakeland Elks having generously as
sumed the patriotic task of putting
Lakeland over the top in this respect.
In their good work they have been
assured the hearty cooperation of
local organizations, both fraternal
and civic, and Lakeland, which has
always seen her duty and done it"
vii! not fail in this big undertaking
Uncle Sam wants some money to
carry on the war for us, for humanity
for liberty, for civilization. Instead
of doing like other nations. taking
this money from us in the shape Of
taxes and giving us nothing In re
turn, he asks us to make him loar
which he will repay with interest
and for which he offers us the bes
and most stable security in the world
Through the medium of these stamps
of small denomination, every person
man, woman or child, of the most linn
tied means, can assist in carrying OF
this war, while at the same time put
ting their money in a security bette
than any savings bank can offer, an,
as readily available as If it were il
the savings bank. You are not aske
for donation, but to make an il
vestment on which you cannot lose
Under these circumstances every cit
zen should take stock of his +,
sources and resolve to invest to tn
ultimate penny in War Savin
Stamps, so that when the driy
closes, on June 2Sth. it may again /
heralded to the world that Lakelar
has once more answered the call
patriotism without hesitation al
without stint.
