CONDEMNED

Victor Hugo in his grandiloquent way said:
''NOus sommes tous cOndamnes.'
We are all condemned criminals.
The lurid descriptions of Mrs Snyder and Mr.
Grays last hours before execution gave us all the
shivers The newspaper reporter seems to have the
same complaint that some preachers have who at
funeral strive to dwell upon all the effective scenes
concerning the death of the departed in order to
produce tears from the auditors. 1t is technically
known as boring for water
The more we think of it, however, we conclude
that there but terrible thing about this ex
eution. That was the certainty of it.
We all condemned to death, as Victor Hugo
says. We must all walk the plank, sooner or later,
or face firing squad die in battle or breathe our
last in our beds. Dying is dying whatever be its
accompaniment
And the act of death is probably not so horrible
to the actor as it is to the spectators.
Dying is simply lapslng into unconsciousness
and tie worst pains are felt by those about the
victim who realize that they will never see him
again.
The victim himself probably realizes little or
nothing.
Also the anticipation of death is worse than
death itself. The certainty that they were to die
upon a given date was fierce torment to the souls
of these criminals than the passage though them Of
the electric charge, which occupied but few Sc
conds
If we knew that we had to die upon the stroke
OF certain hour we should die 100 deaths in anti
cipation of it.
Shakespeare says:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once
Of all the wonders that yet have heard,
1t seems to me most strange that men should
fear;
Seeing that death, necessary end,
Will come when it will come"
That men turn their thoughts to religion when
they think death is certain is testimony to the in
fuence of death upon life and to the superior and
immortal qualities of our spiritual natures.

Doctor at 83 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis Of treating sickness has
not changed since DIR. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
he placed on the market che laxa-
tive prescription he had used in mis-
practice, known to druggists an6 the
public since 1892, as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment Of constipa-
tion, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that re-
suit from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable laxa-
tives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syr-
mp Pepsin, which is q combination
of SIENNA and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve Of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. If grown people want TO use
them no one can deny them the
privilege, but they should never De

The simpler the remedy for con-

VACATION DIRECTORY
ISSUE BY A. l. c.

PHOENIX, June 25.- Added
impetus to the "See Arizona"
movement which has become
great factor in Arizona's develop
ment as a national summer play
ground is contained in new edi-
ton Of the "Arizona Vacation
Directory" which has just been
published through cooperation of
the states chambers of commerce,
automobile bodies and the Indus
trial Congress.
The vacation directory is the
fourth annual edition of publica-
ton which has proved remarkably
popular not only among Arizona
people but among visiting tourists,
and is a logical outgrowth of a
mimeographed directory started
six years ago by the Industrial
Congress. 1t will be distributed
by chambers of commerce throu-
ghout the state to all vacationists
and tourists who desire it.
The directory's greatest value
lies in the fact that it lists prac-
tically every summer resort in
Arizona, including a number of
guests ranches which also feature
winter seasons. A brief description
of the location, accommodations,
diversions and rates of each re-
sort is given, making the little
booklet a decidedly handy guide.
The principal resort cities also are
described and highway maps COM
plete the guidebook feature.
Reports to the Industrial Con-
gress from chambers of commerce
throughout the state indicate that
Arizona's "Summerland" is witness
sing a record vacation travel this
season, and the vacation directory
is certain to prove valuable as
set to the cause of "Seeing Ari-
zona."
