Death It is difficult to think of anything of more

importance to us than death. Yet to what subject have we brought so little attention, so little thought, so many superstitions! It is owing to our strange reluctance to approach the problem of death as we approach other problems that we know so little of it, that our knowledge of what it is and what it means has made so little progress. But in spite of popular apathy, a handful of daring pioneer souls among the scientists have devoted such investigations as have resulted in a noticeable gain over the former times. It is to them, to such hardy adventurers of the, intellect as Smythe, James, Maeterlinck, Lodge and others, that thoughtful persons no longer look upon death as a cosmic accident, as a hated interloper from without, or as a fiendish ogre casting fears about by his supernatural terrorisms. Death is a part of the scheme of things, as natural and beautiful as birth. More than this, we are coming to think of death as an instrument in the hands of life, nerving in the interest of joy and progress. If there were no death, the most prolific species would monopolize the earth: one generation would dominate the race forever. Death is the gateway through which -fresh blood, fresh life, fresh ideas come into existence. Were it not for death, there would be no change. The world would grow gray with monotony. Whatever death may be, and we ponder its mystery often during this season, it is as natural as life, as little to be feared ; and the healthy person enters into its portals as nonchalantly as to leep. "It is nothing to die," as the aged Jean Valjcan says, "though it is terrible not to have

Questions "Lefty Louis," "Whitey Lewis," "Dago Frank" and "Gyp the Blood" are the four youthful gunmen who will be executed next week, for their alleged murder of Herman Rosenthal, the New Vork gambler. Winthrop D. Lane has made horough investigations of the careers and ante:edents of these four young criminals and pubished his findings in a recent issue of the "Surrey." The facts upturned by his probe are of uich interest and significance as to deserve the ?areful attention of those everywhere who take :he duties and responsibilities of citizenship to icart. "Lefty Louie" is the son of a respectable and vell-to-do Jew officially connected with the synagogue. Until six, he was under the constant urveillance of his father who was a strict disciplinarian. At that time, he had an attack of measles which left him in such condition as to lead the doctor to order him kept in the open air. The only open air available to "Lefty's" family was the street, so his parents were compelled to send him there in order to save his life. In a short time, the hitherto well behaved child be

came a street fiend, practicing' the petty crimes so common among the gamin of the lower East Side of New York. After growing older he took to loafing' in the pool rooms where he learned the various arts of crime, especially pickpocketing. Practically all of those familiar with "Lefty Louie's" career believe his mind was impaired by the , measles. New York's street life, coupled with a weak mind, made him, when the opportunity presented itself, a murderer. "Whitey Lewis" came from Poland at twelve years of age and belonged to a poverty stricken family. His rural experience unfitted him to cope with the enticements of Chinatown's street life and he at thirteen was an habitue of a number of the city's most notorious dens. It was there, while still a child, he learned the tricks of

crime. His parents say his life in Poland had

been perfectly normal and that it was the influence of the city that had made a "tough" of him.

After leaving the reformatory, where he had been sent because of a small crime, he steered a straight course from one crime to another until he landed ih the death cell. "Whitey" is still bewildered and can't understand how he has ever been anything but an ordinary individual. "Dago Frank" was born in Italy, coming to this country at fourteen. At sixteen, he was confirmed in a New York Episcopalian church and between fifteen and nineteen, was regularly employed, giving no trouble. When about twenty, he was found on the street with a package containing a revolver and a sling shot in his hand and was sent to the Elmira Reformatory. Here it was discovered he was a sufferer from tuberculosis of the glands. Detectives have found that he learned the methods of crime from the criminals with whom he became acquainted while in the reformatory. "Gyp the Blood" is a Jewish boy whose father, like "Lefty Louie's," had an official connection with the synagogue. Poverty made it necessary for the lad to go to work and it was while running errands, he fell into the habit of frequenting the pool rooms where he formed criminal associations. He was sent to Elmira Reformatory for petty theft and there became personally acquainted with professional criminals. Society says to these four youths : "You have committed murder! Why did you do it? Why should you escape punishment? You have broken the laws of your country : why should you ask exemption from the penalty?" Society has a per-

I v,v- "(ii oiv tiioc ijucoiiiuiia aiiu L-clll t nave jmuch patience with that perverse sentimentali

ty which transforms these gunmen into heroes. But what about the boys themselves? Have they no questions to ask of society? We believe they have. We believe they might ask of the commonwealth which is going to execute them: "Why didn't you give us a healthy place to play when we were boys ? Why didn't you take charge of us when we first went wrong ? Why did you leave us run our course of folly until we have committed murder?, Why are you so interested in us now that we are in the death cells, yet never cared anything about us before? You are going to kill us because we murdered a man. Will that deter other youths like us in whose eyes we have become heroes? Do you believe your killing us will stop the flow of crime or affect its causes? You took charge of us when we were first caught in petty crime. Why didn't your reformatory reform us? Why was it we first learned the arts of crime in those institutions you have built to cure crime? We first went wrong because our families were so poverty stricken we were driven to the streets. Poverty is the great mother of crime. While you are eliminating us, why don't you eliminate poverty, the thing that made us?"

CITIZENS WILL ASSIST MAYOR (Continued from Page 1.)

fault if the administration is not a Buccess." Mayor Robbins . then made a brief address, explaining the purpose of organizing an advisory committee which he described as an effort to bring the government of the city closer to the governed. At the conclusion of his address he was given a round of hearty applause. Dr. E. B. Grosvenor, representing the West Side Improvement association, declared that the "kitchen cabinet", idea was the fulfillment of a

popular demand. lie said the various civic organizations of the city had, for the most part, been created because the plan now suggested by Mayor Robbins had never before been encouraged. "We used to have to force ourselves

on the city officials, so it is pleasing now to see them coming to us for advice and assistance," Dr. Grosvenor said. "Under this plan we can have any kind of an administration we want, so it is up to our citizens to get busy." Miss Edna Johnson, a representative of the Federation of Women's clubs, delivered a brief but very interesting talk. "The women of this city are interested in this plan for promoting more efficient and democratic government and you will find we are not "dead ones, " Miss Johnson emphatically informed Mayor Robbins. She then read a section of the Federation's constitution, showing that its purpose was to promote good citizenship and public welfare. "So you see, our organization is not a selfish one," declared Miss Johnson. "All we ask is a chance to help and you will find our organization will be a great help to you." R. G. Leeds declared that the movement launched by Mayor Robbins could only result in promoting the best interests of the city. He said he hoped to see the social center idea

A Favorite for Fifty Years. Mr.Thomas Clark, 349Comstock St., New Brunswick, N. J., says ; "I was in terrible shape from rheumatism. Doctors failed to help me. I used different remedies with the same result. The pains often kept me awake nights. Dr. Jones' Liniment eared me. I have recommended it to a number of friends and it has become their favorite remedy." If you have rheumatism you need Dr. Jones' Liniment to-day. If you let it go till to-morrow, it may become chronic and hard to cure. Sold by A. G. Luken & Co., Fosler Drug Co., J. A. Conkey Drug Co.. Clem Thistlethwaite and all other druggists.

A New Discovery Thin men and women that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night, What became of all the fat-producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-on3. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat

with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood with millions of fre6h new red blood corpuscles gives the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of your body. Sargol, too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best fleshproducing elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and Leo H. Fihe and all other druggists in Richmond and vicinity sell them subject to an absolute guarantee of weight increase or money back. (Advertisement) .

spread until it was incorporated into every school district in the country. Teachers Uphold Plan. "This plan of Mayor Robbins will be a practical benefit to his administration and to the people of Richmond,", declared Superintendent Giles, of tbe public schools. "I think our citizens have always wanted to give more aid to the administration of public affairs but until now they have never been encouraged to do so." Charles Kirk, one of the three representatives of the Trades Council at the meeting, declared that labor was llnedup squarely behind the mayor in this undertaking. "This is the first time labor has ever been invited to do anything except vote," he declared. "You can depend upon the laboring classes to support this movement." Timothy Nicholson declared the advisory board would be able to accomplish things and the mayor's plan was an admirable one. William Bockhoff.

of the South Side Improvement association, declared his organization was in thorough sympathy with the movement. Freeman In Commendation. Perry J. Freeman, a prominent Republican leader, who fought Mayor

Robbins actively in the campaign last fall, proved himself a good loser by declaring that Mayor Robbins deserved the commendation of the citizens by the action he had taken. "We can lay aside politics in this matter and get together for Richmond," said Mr. Freeman. "Don't lay back and sulk for political reasons. Suppose the big dry minority of the recent election was sulking now and was determined to let the city go where they thought it would go If the wets were victorious, why the result would be that the city probably would go to that place. Mayor Robbins has asked us to help his administration and it is our duty to do so." "If I were mayor I would do just

(Health Notes) "Practically all sickness can be traced to Impurities in the blood which accumulate during the winter months. If old and young alike would follow tbe old-time policy of taking a good blood-tonic each spring, there would be much less fever and sickness and. as a result, a big saving of doctor bills. "The best blood-purifying tonic known can be made at home at little expense, by dissolving in hi pint alcohol, cup sugar and one ounce kardene, then adding hot water to make a' quart. This makes enough for a whole family and a tablespoonful taken before meals soon makes the blood pure and red, removing quickly all pimples, sallowness and lack of appetite. It is very strengthening to a tired, worn-out system, and gives one a world of energy and good health." fAdvertUcirenO "

what Mayor Robbins Is doing now, and I hope to see the day when Richmond will have a lady mayor," declared Mrs. Pharaba Stephens. "I would like to see practical altruism. One thing I want to see is a river driveway. I see better times ahead for us. I have been hoping for this for. a long time." Mrs. Stephens, originator of Richmond's "town cleaning day" movement, was heartily applauded. Reid Optimistic. Pettis Reid, once a candidate for mayor on the Democratic ticket, declared that past administrations had had high ideals, but had failed for the lack of proper counsel. "If we carry out this plan we will have good government," he concluded. Mr. Mills amused the audience by asserting that it would be useless for him or any other person to add more

praise to tbe plan and he suggested that it was now time to launch it. After passing the motion to have the various local organizations represented on the advisory board by two members. President Davis, of the board of public works, made an address which was concluded amid enthusiastic applause. He said that the advisory board plan was not a "grandstand play," that it was a fulfillment of the mayor's piatform pledge and a sincere effort to bring city affairs into closer contact with the people. He said he would be the first to welcome the day when party politics was weeded out of city government.

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR

Use It Like a Cold Cream and Dry Eczema Eruptions Right Up. . The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, saya a renowned dermatologist. , This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a never-ending source of amazement to physicians. For many years bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason Oi. its cooling, parasite-destroying properties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure. yet. in every instance, it immediately subdues the itching irritation and heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again manifests itself. Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur cream, which should be applied to tbe affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isnt unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when Eczema is accompanied with torturous itching. (Advertisement)
