The death of Mlsa Williamson aroused a storm of protest against the cure. Mrs. Hazzard was charged with first degTee murder, and the Jury found her guilty of manslaughter In February, 1012. She appealed to the Puprsms Court, setting forth that the lower tribunal had erred on twelve points. To refute the expert testimony of the doctors who testified that a fast such as Claire Williamson was sub jected to must be fatal, Mrs. Hazzard announced that she would fast her self. Subsequently she placed herself at the disposal of a committee of doc tors, but the medical men declined to take part In the demonstration, and Mrs. H&szard undertook her fast un der the scrutiny of a committee of her own choosing.

Mrs. H&szard contended that her own fast proved that the expert medical testimony given at her trial had been successfully refuted. Although under sentence, Mrs. Haz- zard continued to practice her system of treating disease. The murder trial had given her widespread publicity, and hundreds of persons wrote her every week inquiring about the hun ger cure.

I am now but twenty years, Have never touched one or two beers. Have never smoked a cigarette; I am,my parents' only pet. I am thinking of a man who has a heart, And that is Governor Rberhart, Wondering If he would please give me my release Or let me suffer behind the bars to squeeze. All I pray for la but a chance To ahow that I can fit the law’s pants. I want to he in the Stale of Illinois, That Is where I was raised when but a boy. Unless other prisoners object, It was stated, Nielson’s efforts will be printed in rhe reformatory paper.

Alois and Otto, back were inseparable, twenty years ago, were lnaparable. “What one has the other shall have; share and share alike,’’ was the principle they ob served. Hut little towns in Germany do not present many opportunities for strong young men, and it was decided that Alois, the older, could better contrib ute to the support of the Gra*» par ents by seeking his fortune in the New World. When Alois Grass left, he and his brother agreed that affection and the old compact should exist unchanged. Should either one he beset by bad luck or illness, all the other had was to be his as he needed. In particu lar, after they had married and got families, should one die, tha other was to give assistance and keep wid ow and children from want. Alois reached the wonderful New World and after several years of knocking about settled near Belleville. He married and managed to buy a little farm. Six children were born. Brother Otto also married and sev en little ones added glory to the name of Grass. Two months ago word came from Otto’s widow that he bad died sud denly. Then, six weeks ago, Alois was made a widower. Shortly after ward a matronly Gorman woman, accompanied by ?e\fn stalwart chil dren, arrived here, Alois Grass met them at the station.

She Is credited with “cleaning up” a fortune from the celebrated Silver Lakes group of mines in the San Juan field. Western Colorado. Her first husband had turned to this field when the gold excitement was at its height there about twenty years ago. In order to “help out" his wife kept boarders, and when the group of pros pects was secured, assisted In the active work of development. She soon became a familiar figure In the West ern mining world. She thought nothing of donning miner’s attire and working with the men In the mine when she deemed it neceosary to assist Mr. Stober in overseeing the work personally. The mines were located in a high and almost inaccessible part of the San Juan Mountains. After she had made a big fortune at mining, Mrs. Stoiber turned to Denver, where she made a social con quest of the Colorado capital.

Appeals for Men and Women Is Made From Every State to Immigration Officials From every State in the Union, from every city and hamlet, an ap peal ha.s been raised to the immigra tion officials of the country for un skilled labor. According to a relia ble expert estimate Just made, 1,000.- 000 immigrants could be brought into the United States within the next six months and the demand could scarce ly be met. The coal and coke fields of Penn sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana alone could give employment to from 75,000 to 100,000 additional men. Joseph P. Dowling, inspector of the United States Department of Labor, declares that laborers are scarcer to-day in th*» United States than ever before in history. In spite of the increase in the num ber of immigrants during 1913, almost twice as many could find employment at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents per hour. Mines Are Short Handed. In Houghton. Michigan, and all through the Lake Superior mining district, operations are being delayed for want of miners. From Jackson ville, Fla., comes the loudest wail. All the native negroes have come North, attracted by high wages, and now Jacksonville has been forced to im port negroes from South Carolina and Italians to complete work that has already been started. Not only are men wanted in Ameri ca. but women, fno. At Reading and York, Pa., hundreds of women immi grants would be welcomed to work in the textile mills and cigar fac tories, while Providence, R. I., New Bedford and Fall River are also ap pealing for women to work in the textile mills.. Throughout the coun try, from coast to coast, thousands of women could find employment at attractive wages as domestic serv ants. The famous Pittsburg district and the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and Texas are probably most seriously af fected by the shortage of unskilled labor. The iron and steel mills of Pittsburg want 10,000 men, while an other 10.000 are needed in Pittsburg proper on building operations. The output of the Connellsvllle coke fields has been reduced 26 per cent. The coal mines about Pittsburg are run ning 50 per cent short. Farmers Need Thousands. In West Virginia and Virginia the coal mines are running half time as a result of insufficient labor, while the same condition prevails in the Ohio coal mines. j Harvesting the enormous crops in I Kansas and adjoining States is being I seriously interfered with. Kansas I calls in vain for 26.000 men. Arizona, | too, wants farm hands, and even Del- ' aware has sent an urgent appeal for men to work in the harvest fields. The railroads are in almost as seri ous a predicant ant as the farmers. The enormous crops and the work required to move them, the extensive improvements being made by rail roads throughout the country and the damage done by floods in the Middle West, all have been factors. But prob ably more important than all haa been the generally Improved busi ness conditions which have made places for every unemployed man and woman.

WAR DEPARTMENT THE RECORD By special order of the Secretary of War an offi cer of the United States Army is to be detailed for sendee at Riverside Military Academy. The approval for this detail follows speedily the recommendation of Major B. F. Hardaway, Sev enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson, who made the inspection by special order of the Vi ar Department early tn July. This detail carries with it the complete equip ment of modem rifles, dress and service accouter ments, haversacks, canteens and mess equipment aa used by the United States Army. Also artillery and cavalry equipment for dis mounted service. 1 The uniforms of the Riverside cadets are identi cal with those of the West Point cadets, and are fit ted to the figure of each cadet by military tailors at Riverside Military Academy. In this respect. River side stands alone among the Southern preparatory schools. \ FOR R ESE THE RECOMMENDATION In July of this year a request was made upon the War De partment for an army officer to be detailed for service with the Riverside cadets. Copies of the current catalogue and a complete description of the campus, location, surroundings, physical equipment and faculty were furnished. This so impressed the War Department that notwithstanding the annual inspection of academies and schools applying for such recognition is made only in April, a SPECIAL INSPECTION was ordered immediately, and Major Hardaway was detailed for this service. He was so impressed with the location of Riverside, two miles out of Gainesville—connected by trolley—in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, with Lake Warner on its 2,000-acre campus, that he wrote in' strong praise of its magnificent natural advantages and wonder ful possibilities. He was greatly impressed with the opportunities afforded for indoor gallery practice, long range sharpshooting adjacent to the school, the maneuvering grounds, bridge building, pontoon work, swimming, boating and other arts of modern warfare, all on or at the campus. The physical equipment, with its well lighted, perfectly ven tilated and modemly equipped barracks, mess hall, class rooms and gymnasium, so enthused him that his comments on these fea tures in his report, caused the War Department to take immediate action and announce the approval and detail. RVATIONS AND RATES THE REASON Riverside possesses all the requisites of an ideal military school. In addition to the superior advan tages named, Riverside has: 1. An Accomplished Faculty—An instructor of successful experience for every twelve boys. No cadet’s room more than three doors from teacher. 2.
