There IB Relief!

A harmless way to stop pain. That really STOPS it. How long they looked for something like No-Ake tablets! A form of help that cannot form a habit. No need, now, to bear a headache" until you can't stand it"! Neuralgia, neuritis; those pains no remedy seems to reach; they succumb quickly to the soothing'influence of No-Ake! Try it yvhen nervous, or nights you can’t sleep; it acts in fifteen minutes! When sick, see a doctor. But to end pain—slight or serious—there’s No-Ake. The druggist sells it readily, for he knows it’s perfectly harmless.

GIYE ’EM THE CHAIR. VERDICT’ (Continued From Page 1) for an Emily Post on murder etiquette. They Know Men “Whatever the verdict is, it should be the same for both.” is the unanimous decision. “She may get off with less because she's a woman, but she's really worse than he is, for it was her husband they killed, and he was a stranger to Gray. Besides, she probably goaded him on —you know how men are; like to show off —weak and ready to do anything for a woman.” This strikes an interesting note. Men on a jury generously make allowance for a woman's weakness, both physical and moral; she is unduly influenced, led astray by some man. really not responsible—poor little woman! And now women are ready to extend the same courtesy to men; after all they’re mere babes, just putty in the hands of a woman; especially a blonde. It’s evident with a woman jury Ruth Snyder would be tried not for just murder, but for adultery. Sob Factors Fail Even the two children, Jane Gray and Lorraine Snyder, counted on to be excellent sob material for the defense, arouse women’s wrath against the slayers. “They should have thought of the children before they committed the crime,” is the concise and swift comment. "Besides, they'll ne netter off: without such parents.” And Gray’s mother, who came to court the opening day and sat just five feet away from her son’s partner in crime causes even more savage comment: “If I’d been her,” said one woman, "I’d have torn Ruth Snyder to pieces!” Super-Normal "Sisters under the skin.” Kipling may have been right, but it’s sisters in tendencies rather than in sympathy. One can understand Ruth Snyder better after talking with other women. She is not abnormal, but super-nor-mal, a monstrosity because she combines dangerously and in excess the most lovely traits of her sex—coldness, selfishness and a certain brutal savagery. Yes, women on the jury would certainly do much to remove the present curse of sentimentality. There’s only one objection—jurors must have open minds and bo far not one single woman we talked to had an opinion that could be changed by anything less than a fifty-pound sledgehammer or perhaps a ten-ton truck. But even at that. It would save the State time and money, for with women on the jury, there’d be no need for a trial at all! (Copyright. 1027. by New York Telegram)

BOARDS WRANGLE OVER 810 ORDER Tax Commission, School City Confer on Bond Plea. After wrangling throughout Tuesday afternoon, Indiana tax board and Indianapolis school board closed their conference on Shortridge High School heating. ventilating and plumbing bonds, without accomplishing much. Chairman John J. Brown, of the tax board censured school commissioners for not obeying orders for open competition on heating and ventilating. The school board has failed to consider anything but the C. C. Shipp style of direct-indirect heat. President Theodore Vonnegut, of the school board, met Brown in heated debate. Then everyone talked at once and a shorthand reporter, there to take notes, gave up in disgust. Brown admitted he considered the direct-indirect system one of the best but the tax commissioners insist that other systems be included in the bidding. They expressed tentattve approval of Commissioner Phillip Zoercher’s order which would approve about $81,600 In bonds for plumbing, but would withhold approval of bonds for beating and ventilating until new' bids on all systems are received. Birds sometimes have a fever of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything above 106 or 107 degrees is fatal to human beings.
