dren. James was sturdy, bright
eyed, laughing youngster, who would
have been joy in any home. He had
dark hair and curls, and from his big
eyes he looked at the world with an
impish expectancy, all in striking con-
trast with his frail, drab little mother.
Mother Looks Very Thin.
Against the pillow at st. yincent's,
Mrs. Feles' pinched face looked very
thin. Her taffy-colored hair lacked
luster; her eyes had little more life
than had James eyes when he was
found almost dead there in the
Kitchen. Her skin was covered with
scratches, self-intiicted.
First explanation that the woman
was victim of puerperal insanity
were secuted by physicians. DR.. f.
j. Ziegler, who has the woman in
charge, said that insanity of the sort
was peculiar to women at time of ma
ternity, and pointed to the fact that
Margaret, the younger child, was a
little more than a year old
Congenital weakness might be re.
sponsible for the woman's condition
and for the queer perversion of her
mother love which led to her belief
that the children were not smart and

Our Nail Rates

You can put a five-cent
stamp on a letter, drop it in
the Snowflake post office
and it will go to China with
out additional cost. In 1853
it would have cost $2.04 to
send the same letter the
same distance. All very
good. You can send an or
binary letter to Hawaii for
&c, but newspaper rates, by
the new zone system, mean
it will cost just as much or
more to send it to New York
or San Francisco from any
mid-western state. There
is a discrepancy here which
needs adjusting. And yet,

low rate at which our mails

If a lunacy commission does not
find her mentally unbalanced, she will
face the consequences. After he had
heard her story, Deputy District AT
torney Kirk filed formal charges of
murder against her in municipal court.
For the first time since the tragedy
Mrs. Feles shed tears at the mention
of her husband. She told authorities
that she had attempted to take her
life on many occasions. Nine specific
attempts she recalled. Once before
she sought to do way with herself and
James, but failed.
Some one asked her: "YOu couldn't

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPER
Sling a Little Paint

If you haven't a new house
and feel that you don't need
a new one, then sling a little
paint on the old one and
thus help to make Snow
flake more attractive this
spring and summer than she
has ever been. A little
walk about town reveals
many instances wherein the
paint bucket could be
brought into play with very
beneficial results, and ap-
pearances improved as well
as an extention onllife CIV
en- to the property itself.
"Save the surface and
you save all' has become a
national slogan since it was
adopted by the paint and
varnish makers of the coun-
try. 1t is popular because
there is so much truth in it.
The decline of Ia piece of
residence property from a
lack of paint is so slow that
it is hardly noticeable for
the first year or two. And
then it is discovered that
not only is the building
shabby in appearance but
the elements have, in the
absence of paint, wrought
great damage to the wood
work. The beauty has
disappeared and with it has
gone much of the surface.
1t costs money. to paint a
house but it costssmore to
let it go without paint. New
lumber and carpenters wag-
es are more expensive than
paint and varnish, just as
new machinery costs more
than oil. Keep this con-
stantly in mind, even though
you don't feel like painting
the house this spring or sum-
mer just for the sake of
beautifying your own par
ticular community, figure
it out if it isn't a good idea
to do so from an investment
standpoint.

This is a different picture. with EN-
phasls on different due to the gem
