Pneumonia, revealed by death re-

In West Virginia with 1,444 deaths to
its credit for 1924, is manifesting it

Pneumonia is caused by a germ"
DIR. Henshaw explains, which is

A common cold Is usually the forerun-

Regarding an illness as only a

manifest itself in the beginning as

BETTER DAYS

After all we have no Black Death,
the plague that destroyed population
by thousands. We have practically no
smallpox, no yellow fever. Diphtheria
has been shorn of its horrors. Even
the Great white Plague, tuberculosis,
is yielding ground before the steady
campaign of prevention and cure.
So, disgraceful as they are, the old
world CAN stand the killing by the
gunner, the speed maniac and boot
leg wiskey. Whether it SHOULD or
not is the question with quit another
answer.
The world can still support all the
men and women born into it. Hardly
are the pessimists groaning over
crowding populations when medicine
discovered that the white man can live
in the tropics if he takes certain sim
ply precautions. Panama has shown
the way for that. There are vast ex-
pense of the worlds most fertile areas
appropriated only because white men
won't take the trouble to drain them
and kill the mosquitoes
And while all this is developing in
the more distant future Uncle Sam
can wear his hat at a cocky angle.
His factories and fields are humming
and busting with the greatest cater
ial prosperity the world has ever
known. May the Lord grant, only,
that Uncle Sans sensible old head
doesn't get too big for his hat. That
hat has many virtues.-Ex.

THE FRATERNITY
OF GRIEF
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

You have had grief-but so have I;
|, too, have watched the clos
ing tomb,
My house has had the empty room.
My heart the ache. Our loved ones
die,
But, Oh the company they meet
Upon that far, celestial street,
Where throngs Of angels intertwine--
My beloved and yours, your loved and
mine.
| have had grief-but So have you;
And, in my hour of deepest loss,
| do not see the single cross
Thank God see the other two.
Yes, my own loss has this much
gain:
| feel the brotherhood of pain,
And, kneeling here beside my own,
| know the loss that you have known.
We have our grief-but SO have all.
In all our grieving all our grief
Must not be selfish. Pluck one leaf
And gently let one petal fall
Upon some spot where someone
sleeps
For whom some other woman weeps,
For whom some man will mourn to-
day;
We have had grfef--but SO have they.

GOVERNOR
To SAVE BOY
nv International News Service

NEW YORK. Oct. by plead
ing that no crime could justify the
taking of the life of youth whose
mind is not yet formed. Ernest K
Coulter, manager of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty. has sent
letter to Gov. Howard Gore. of
West Virginia, urging that the life
of Adam Burress, Is, of WEIGH,
w. Va. be spared. Burress has
been sentenced to hang for an. as
sault upon a 9-year-old girl.
Coulter admitted knowing moth
ing of the case except what he had
read in the newspapers. He said,
however, that to hang "a 15-year-oid
boy would constitute a "retrogres
sion to the tactics of the seven
teenth century"
Coulter called the attention OF
Gov. Gore to the laws of New York
State, which recognizes juvenile
delinquency as the only offense
committed by children.

Boys Life Assured

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. T.
A virtual storm of letters and teie-
grams, which humanitarians the
nation over hoped would throw an
effectual barrier between Adam
Burress, 15-year-old mountain boy
awaiting the gallows, today brought
forth the assurance from the office
of Gov. Howard M. Gore that the
boy will not be hanged for his
assault on a 9-year-old girl while
there remained a shadow Of doubt
as to the justice of such course.
Between the 15-year-old lad and
the gallows stands a long line of
possible legal appeals, and back of
that the policy of the State of West
Virginia never to take a human life
until the governor has been con-
WINGED by investigation into the
prisoners mental condition, that
the penalty is just and human
itarian. This was the reply of
Sam Madison. secretary to Gov.
Gore, to the letter of Ernest K.
Coulter, of New York, and an
army of others who have besieged
the executive offices with pleas for
clemency for Burress.
