A BIT OF ADVICE

Peanuts contain much more food value than the ordinary articles seen displayed on the fruit stands. One little pack of these bought for five cents--and this is not in- tended to advertise the peanut in- dustry-will serve as strength giving power far better than any thing you might buy for that money insofar as ordinary needs go, Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer remarked yesterday that
 Peanuts contain wonderful amount of food. considering it's di- mutiye size, and the effect it has on the body is to build up practi- cally all of the organs. A bag of peanuts will stave off hunger with better results than anything know of"

from the loss during the pat 10 years said the speaker
 Lack of Confidence
 Speaking as a citizen, not official 1y. pr. Glenn discounted very earnest. ly the apparent tendency of indi- viduals to signify a lack of conf dence in the city commission, con sisting of men and women who were chosen by the people, and it was fur ther stated that in the opinion of the speaker, Birmingham greatest need right now, as great and growing city, was more cooperation with and confidence in the officials in charge.
 As an official who is expressly looked to for honest, cold facts about the school needs at this time, Dr. Glenn went into minute detail. ex- plaining, outlining and itemizing carefully the hopelessly unfavorable and deplorable conditions now exist ing to a greater or less degree in every school in Birmingham.
 Asked to Realize Advantages
 In speaking of the bond issue, the voting public was urged to realize the many-fold advantages in the pro auction of greater wealth and pro gress. of additional school appropria- tiens, and also that in supporting the 
 also vote for the three mill tax with out which the interest on the bonds could not be met and the money would not be sufficient with which to operate.
 The erection of so many temporary structures was justified by Dr. Glenn, because of the rapid growth In at tendance with the already made quate building capacity, in which connection statistics were presented to show the increasing enrolment, housing and equipment conditions the s9.555 children of Birmingham are subjected to.
 Not Too Poor
 Quoting Dr. J. L. Nj. Curry, de- oea sed Alabamian of national distinc- tion, Dr. Glenn declared that Ala. bama, particularly Birmingham, is too poor not to educate thoroughly it's children to discount the idea of seme that poverty IS an excuse for going backward edueationally. Tn stead of having 5000 persons unable 10 meet tax assessments, such school fund would not only wipe sueii an inadequacy. but it would pro duce results throughout the districs that would cause taxpayers to favor even greater appropriations for schools when sufficient time. say five years, has been given to see and appreciate the results" concluded the speaker.
 very interesting and enlighten- ing series of lantern slides were flashed on a screen showing a num- Der of the sights among the schools of Birmingham, after which short time was devoted to an informal dis cusSiOn of questions involved.

NURSE FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER

Montross, Va, May 4.-Miss Sarah
E. Knox was found guilty of mur-
der in the first degree and sentenced
to 20 years in prison by the jury in
its verdict returned at 1923 o'clock
this evening Miss Knox, former
nurse, has been on trial since last
Tuesday for the killing of Mrs. Roger
ID. Eastlake, whose husband was ac-
quilted last December of the mur-
der.
Watt T. Mayo, commonwealth at
torney of Westmoreland county, con-
cluded the argument for the state at
6 o'clock. Judge Chinn then adjourn
ed to allow the jury to eat dinner
before beginning their secret discus
sions. The jury retired at 7 o'clock,
returning the verdict in one hour and
% minutes.
The jury stipulated that the verdict
should carry sentence of 20 years
Imprisonment in the state penitenti-
ary.
The court room was crowded as
Miss Knox was brought from the Jail
to face the jury. The nurse stood
erect as the sentence was announced
and displayed no emotion.
She turned to her sister, Mrs. w. l..
Salter of Ocean City, N. j., however,
and said few words. Judge Chinn
then formally sentenced her and said
he thought the jury had been "most
lenient" with her.
No steps were taken by defense
counsel towards filing an appeal, and
Judge Chinn adjourned court, while
Miss Knox was taken back to the Jail.
1t is expected she will be taken to
Richmond tomorrow to begin serving
sentence.
During the arguments which were
closed by Commonwealth Attorney
Mayo, both Miss Knox and Roger D.
Eastlake, husband of the slain wo-
man, were denounced by the oppos-
ing attorneys. Mr.. Mayo was merci
less in his references to the nurses
life from the time she first met East
lake until the morning the mutliated
body of Mrs. Eastlake was found in
pool Of Blood on the kitchen floor
of her home. He declared that eff
ever a murderer was caught red
handed" It was the defendant and
asked the jury as "fair minded citi-
zens of Virginia" to render verdict
in the first degree. There was emo
tive, means and opportunity beyond
any peradventure of doubt, for the
staying" he told the jury.
