Ixmdo'n, Jan. 81 Public indignation at the refusal of - the Home Office to permit John Williams,, .who is nder sentence to be hansred for the .mur der of Police . Inspector Walls, at Eastbourne, to marry his sweetheart, Florence Seymour, is becoming more acute daily. i - ; - After his conviction a girl was born to the young woman, who had been living with Williams for some time be fore, the attempted burglary in which he shot the Police Inspector. ! As it was Williams earnest desire to give both mother and child his name, he wrote to Home Secretary McKenna: "I want to marry my girl, Florence Seymour, before her child is born. Will you give me perminsion?" . The curt official reply, from a sub ordinate ln the Home Office,-read: '1 am in receipt of your yetter, and am unable to accede to the request there in contained." ,- Since then he has renewed his ap peal, through the prison chaplain, in a further effort to legitimatize the child, but thus far without result. Hundreds of petitions in support of Williams appeal have been sent to the Home Office by persons who have. rbecome interested in the case, and the newspapers generally are urging that an exception to the usual regulations be made in this instance. Interviewed on the subject, Rev. Hugh B. Chapman, Chaplain of the Chapel Royal, Savoy, said: ' "Surely this child i3 Just as sacred as any other born into the world, and it is cruel to "deprive her of her fath ers name. Nor can I see why any man should be refused his rights as a human being toward the woman whom he loves, so long as there is breath in his body . Yet because the death sentence has been- passed this man is treated as a. pariah, and not allowed to give his name to a woman whom I profoundly respect, and who spoils a type which I heartily wish was far more common than generally obtains.

Adv. 13 5 THE HTPOCHaOEITE "TREATMENT OF WATEflR-SUPPXJES. i- Want Ads. Cent a Word. Hypochlorite is toeing! increasingly used as a, . disinfecting agent in con nection with polluted water-supplies. Recently obtained data from a num ber of cities in the iUnited States and Canada which have been employing the hypochrolite treatment for con siderable periods, including Terre Haute, Cedar Rapids, Montreal, Grant's Pass, Ore., Baudette, Minn., Nashville, Cincinnati and Danville, III. show a marked reduction in the number of bacteria in the city1 water alter inauguration of hypochrolite treatment. North Yakima, Wash., Council Bluffs, La., Cleevland, " Brie, fa., . Toronto, Baltimore, EVansrton, Til., Minneapolis, Omaha,- Jersey City and Kansas City, Mo., are among the cities where ' a noteworthy reduction in typhoid fever has' followed the use of hypochlorite. In Cleveland, for in stance, the reported deaths from ty phoid fever in the four years 1907-1911 (October to June) numbered, respec tively, forty-six, fifty-two, sixty-six, and! sixty-five. In September, 1911, the hypochlorite treatment was 'begun and for the eight months, Oct. 1, 1911, to June 1, 1912, only twenty-eight deaths were reported.- In Jersey City the av erage death-rate from typhoid for 1905, 190G and 1907 was 18.-5, while for the three years following the use of hy pochlorite, 1900-1911, it was 9.6. In Minneapolis there were hlrty-nine deaths in the ten months before hypo chlorite, aandf two deaths in the ten months immediately following its use. Such facts as these establish iSie- high value that may attach to hypochlorite treatment of water under proper con ditions. While no experienced! sani tarian can regard the use of this chemical as a panacea, there is no doubt that it has added greatly to our resources for dealing with a polluted water-supply, particularly under- emer gency conditions and pending the in stallation of a permanent system of purification. It is unfortunate that many of the published statements re garding the efficacy of the treatment do not state the amount of hypochlo reit used, and in the case of typhoid statistics do not cover a sufficiently long period to afford an adequate ba sis for comparison; but these deficien cies are likely to be remedied in time. On the Information now ait hand, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, there seems reason for much of the enthusiasm with which the hypochlorite treatment is now be- CHANCELLOR WALKER WROTE NEW JERSEY'S LATEST TRUST LAWS - lW"''" " ' '''Wit) fotf to be Beaut ifq-l Secrets of Ifrsft NOTE If the reader does not find the information wanted In the tions answered below, just address a letter to Miss Claire Ainsworth, 40 Pat terson Bldg., Dayton, Ohio, enclosing self-addresed stamped envelop, and she will gladly advise on health and beauty probitnis.

' - "The demand for the services of this society in rural communities is large ly increasing. - This Is due both to degeneracy i native- families and the phenomenal accessions our country districts have had from abroad. Tears will be required to develop the latent forces In our foreign-born peoples that are settling everywhere on our aban doned farms. There is, however. great hope of their future. They are industrious and generally economical and thrifty. They live where others cannot, promising a future for the large neglected territory of this state, let many of them are lamentably ig norant. They , need instruction in do mestic affairs and farming. Living In isolated homes, they have little neighborhood influence to help- them. They used printed matter in their own language, by which they may be in structed in our ideals of home build ing, the care of children and cleanli ness. If they had visitation of. a prac. tical and helpful sort from their own people, we might expect great im provement . We should -not expect them to adopt at once our standards of livinjg!. These people must be ta ken as they are in some respects, the untaught children, of, our modern civ ilization. .The district school in the countt-y districts is to-day the great uplifting force in these families; as it reaches the second generation. It might, perhaps, do more In practical instruction, for is there not the same need for industrial and domestic edu cation in the country as exists in the city? . . We suggest an amendment to the probation law, by which, when com mitments are brought in probate courts, the judges of such courts be empowered to appoint probation of fleers. . ' "The society's cases in the animal department have varied little from former years. The short hay crop of 1911, and the high cost of feed, re suited in some bad cases of underfeed ing. Some owners learned, we trust, that ' such treatment does not pay, as their half -starved creatures were of little value. . The conditions under which ' hu mane-work for animals must be done in our cities are rapidly changing. Mo tor vehicles are displacing the horse, and there is a tendency to hurry him, when he is used, to keep the pace. He must' work on slippery and icy pavements. There are more aocidents. Stray and neglected cats are numer ous. The office of the dog warden has been created to meet a need. Res cue agencies, sometimes equipped for veterinary work, are .springing up in our 4 cities. Their experience is jus tifying the effort. Under the auspices of the com mittee on humane education, much work has been done in winning the school children to humane work, and 9,603 have signed the Band of Mercy pledge. "Humane literature, including the humane law printed In Yiddish, Po lish and Italian, has been widely dis tributed. An appeal for the family cat, made through the newspapers at the : beginning of the vacation sea son, produced good results. The ' report of the secretary, which summarizes the agents' reports, shows that the cases of 481 children, thirty six women and twenty-six men were Investigated and relieved. Three hundred. and seventeen children were relieved from conditions of general cruelty, and eighteen were committed to county temporary homes.' In the animal department, 8,704 an imals were relieved from various kinds of cruel treatment, and 625 horses, thirty-eight cattle and 972 small ani mals were humanely destroyed. Sixty-one cases were prosecuted and sixty convictions secured. Warnings were given In 5,464 cases, and 3,387 persons were advised. Investigations were made on 3,869 complaints. and this you will them. ' find after trying ! my hair. I advise you to try it, an i is harmless and cannot be detected. A few of my correspondents doubt that real beauty can be cultivated, and for the benefit "of such I wish to re cite my own experience, at the risk of seeming too personal. As a child I was just an ordinary little towhead gifted with a talent for music and singing. At the age of eighteen I was healthy and strong, but not even by Dvivid imagination could any one call me pretty or attractive. At that age I resolved to go on the concert stage, as my voice was considered most ex cellent. To make a success of con cert singing I realized that an. attrac tive personality face and figure was ' well-nigh essential, and I did not possess them. . , - I began the study of self-improve ment and determined to be as beauti ful as Nature would percit by my own study and efforts. I did not then, nor do I now, entertain the' make-un style of beauty. Real beauty is spoil ed by the "make-up" method. On the theatrical stage the "make-up" is a necessity because of the brilliant foot lights. But what woman or - girl in society, where one must meet one's friends face to face, can endure- the thought of being pointed out as a "painted thing of beauty." Natural health and beauty is what I desired, and you. , dear reader, -must De the judge or whether 1 succeeded Some of my dear friends tell me that my complexion, skin and hair are the most : beautiful they have ever seen. . and that my photographs fail utterly to do my skin, hair and complexion justice. . BPut enough of this, I know I succeeded, and my success as a fa vorite singer was soon my. xeward., .... Believing that what I have done others may do, I am gladly telling my experience and giving my helps and hints to you. The articles and recipes are nearly all of my own selection, and I know are superior to the ordinary, A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION. As I regard It, there are only two essentials for a beautiful complexion pure blood and the proper materials to treat the skin scientifically. Given these and time, with effort, and any woman under fifty can possess a beau tiful, tinted complexion, making her admired by all mankind.- Pleasant, generous thoughts made expression divine. Assuming the blood is pure, but the skin red, sallow, harsh, dry, oily, mud dy or blotched, then all that Is re quired is scientific treatment and care. The treatment I have found best of all and likewise hundreds of my corres pondents consists of gloriol glowene, a "water massage;" gloriol balm, a vanishing cream and gloriol emollient, a nourishing cream. With the treat ment is full and detailed directions for use, to restore and preserve a beautiful skin and complexion. This is a treatment that all women, pretty or otherwise, should use, as it makes the "pretty even prettier." Mrs. E. S. L. asks: "A friend of mine living in Buffalo informs me that after trying innumerable treatments for developing the bust without suc cess, she learned through a physician that medicated venosol would. She says that in three months her bust in creased from 30 $o 88. Would you advise me to use medicated vendso. or do you know anything about it?" Answer: I know it to be one of the best and surest treatments, and advise any woman who wants to develop to use It as per directions with each sealed tube. Consuella asks: "My blood is im pure, my face pimply, greasy and muddy and some few blackheads. Ad vise me?" Answer: There are many good blood purifiers, but medical experts as sert that lor clearing ana wmtening the skin of the face and hands there is only one reliable article and that is ne-grain quinoxide tablets, sold In sealed tubes at druggists, with accom panying directions. These tablets may safely be used by you or anyone. Jone asks: "Can you recommend a formula' for' waving and ' curling the hair?" .

A stock food company, incorporated in Nebraska, attempted -to restrain the enforcement of a statute of Iowa, (Code of Iowa Supplment 1907, Sections 5077a-5077a2i)' relating to the sale within the state of concentrated commercial feeding stuffs. Briefly, the statute requires the state food and dairy commissioner to make an analysis of all concentrat ed feeding stuffs offered for sale In the state, and directs the publication of the results of the analysis from time to time in official bulletins. The commissioner is required to enforce the statute, and is authorized to ap point such analysts arnd and chemists as may be necessary. An Inspection fee of 10 cents per ton on such pro ducts when sold or offered for sale within the state Is imposed, or in lieu thereof an annual license fee of $100. It was required that each package of such product have printed on the out side a statement giving certain infor mation as to its contents, among which was the name and percentage of the diluent or diluents or bases. Complainant's product was a condi mental stock food1, which was pre pared under a secret formula, con tained nothing deleterious or poison ous, and had condimental and tonic properties, which aided animals in the digestion of food. The constitution ality of the statute was challenged because of the requirement that the name and percentage of "the diluent or diluents should be stated', and also because" of the imposition of the In spection fee. The Supreme Court of the United States in Standard Stock Food Company v. H. R. Wright, as State Food and Dairy Commissioner of Iowa, 32 Supreme Count Reporter. 784, confirms the decree of the Circuit Court sustaining a demurrer to the bill, and holds that the statute is a valid and proper exercise of the police power of 'the state, and does not, as applied to sales by Importers in orig inal packages, amount to an unconsti tutianal regulation of interstate commerce. Uawyers Take Heed. An undertone of impatience as well as a note of warning directed at lawyers by the Crimal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma is to be found in Anderson v. State, 126 Pacific Reporter, 840, 848. The court, in passing upon a question pre sented by counsel for defendant upon appeal from a conviction of murder wherein the death penalty was award ed, says: "Without disrespeot to coun sel for atppellant, there is absolutely nothing in their contention. It simply shows to what desperate extremities lawyers are" sometimes reduced in at tempting to save and protect jririlfj men. It also shows how necessary it is for courts to go to the botom of nil questions presented. If lawyers wonjl I seriously consider the questions thy present, and examine the authorltf upon which they rely, and wouM brl' them carefully before their cases ara suixmdtted, they would relieve th! court of a vast amount of unneces sary labor, and greatly aid the court In disposing of the business before it. We do not object to doing the work, and always take great pleasure in tha Investigation of any legal question sub mitted -Do us for decision; but owin to the crowded condition of our dock et, and the further fact that we ar already worked to the limit of human endurance in deciding questions1 prop erly briefed, we feel -that Justice ti the state requires that our "time homM not be taken up in investigating ques tions which have not been proper 1 briefed." The price of coal In The NorwalM has dropped from $8 to $7.50. W want coal cheaper, and we are de termined to get it If we are forced buy it in bulk, land It at the pubis? dock, soon to be built, and carry it away by the scuttle. The solutior of the problem is clearly up to tint coal dealers. : If Westport dealers can retail stove coal' at $7 per ton, see no reason why Norwalk dealerc cannot come down to the same price.
