ScraVDy But
Not For Long

Is your face drawn and pinched?
Your skin flabby? Are your cheeks
sunken with great hollows under the
eyes? Does your figure show I'M
becoming angles instead Of the soft
ly rounded slimness of youth?
All these conditions rob you of
attractiveness and make you look
old. But worst of all, these may
actually be the symptoms OF simple
anaemia-that dread ai,!Lon. - o.
ten suffered by women.
There's nothing so good as Nc
Coy's Tablets to put on firm flesh,
round out face and figure and build
up rich, red blood.
So if you need a few pounds of
flesh to round out the hollows, if
you want to get back old-time energy
and health, get box of McCoy's
Tablets today. Just short treat
ment will make you look and feel
like a new person.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee. If after
taking 4 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's
Tablets or One Dollar boxes any
thin, underweight man OF woman
doesn't gain at least pounds and
feel completely satisfied with the
marked improvement in health
your druggist is authorized to return
the purchase price.
The name McCoy's Cod Liver Oil
Tablets has been shortened-just
ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug
store in America.

LAW AND FACT.

The argument of former District
! Attorney OF Suffolk County (Bo7-
stoc). Arthur D. Hill, before the Su-
3rame Judicial Court of MasSachu-
sets, in session in Boston this Week.,
I is one of the ablest deliverances ever
! presented to a legal tribunal upon
the fundamental principles of law
as related to the life and Liberty Of
citizen who is charged with CAPT
tai offense. He recently entered the
case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, condemned to die for the
murder of a paymaster and his guard
in South Braintree on April Is,
l192O,
Under the Massachusetts, statute,
/ the Court of Appeals deals only with
the question of law and not with
the question of fact. That is to say,
if all of the strict legal niceties and
requirements have been complied
With, even though material facts
! should afterwards justify tho review,
the higher court is powerless to deal
with them. The primary charge made
! by this distinguished attorney is that
his clients had to face jurist, who
was impregnated with prejudice on
account of the fact that these two
men (Italians) were Anarchists.
This phase of the case was empha-
sized in the celebrated Lunenburg
case, which was heard in Virginia
more than a decade ago. The dis
tinguished father of the well-known
jurist, Judge R. Carter Scott, enun-
ciated the principle that the highest
purpose of government was the pro-
lection of human life and in extreme
cases to subserve this purpose, legal
technicalities should be set aside. By
a ruling of the Supreme Court of
Virginia, this view was overruled and
later it was adopted as fundamen-
tai ruling of the Supreme Court, for
in order to protect the prisoners
from lynching, the Supreme Court
took actual, bodily possession of the
prisoners and they were held in the
Richmond city Jail, subject to the
direct order of that supreme tribu-
nal.
This was the first and only case
of the kind ever recorded in the
legal annals of this State and We
believe is without precedent in any
other State. The prisoners, being
without counsel, had no exceptions
filed and the records of the Lunen-
burg County Court, Judge Organ
presiding, was virtually blank page
so far as these particular prisoners
were concerned.
Hon. George D. Wise, Judge Hen
ry w. Flournoy and Captain A. B.
Guigon represented the prisoners.
There can be no sympathy in this
country for Anarchists, who believe
in the destruction of all organized
government, and who regard murder
and arson as legitimate means OF
waging underhanded warfare, but
even this should not justify US in
taking unwise action in polluting the
fountain head of justice, certainly
not in summary executions, until we
!, have declared an "open season" TO,
this class of people, outlawed then
/, and given notice that their residence
, in this country is undesirable anc
, they shall not be permitted to eithe,
enter or to remain here.

: tween Massachusetts legal practices
, and Virginia legal methods, the Rich
