" HER VNOL - AFTER SICANESS It Completely Restored Her Strength Brooklyn, N. Y.—“Pneumonia left me weak and tired, with pains under my shoulder blades, a bad cough and no appetite. Five bottles of Vinol re- stored my strength and health, I gained in weight and my cough dis- appeared.”—Mrs. B. Richter, 132 Menhan St., Brooklyn, N. Y. This is because Vinol is a consti- tutional, cod liver and iron remedy which creates an appetite, alds diges- tlon, enriches the blood and in this natural manner restores health and strength.

Chicago, Nov. 14.—Criminal prose- cution loomed for Dr. Harry J. Hai- selden yesterday should baby Hod- zima, whom he placed under a sen- tence of death, die from the medicine now being administered. ! The baby, with a deformed skull and suffering from a stricture of the trachea, is a horrible mite of hu- manity, who would be better off dead, according to the 'physician. The mother also would benefit if the child should die, as no amount of care and attention ever will make it other than an idlot, according to the physician. So the mother daily is giving it a medicine which is sapping the.infant’s lite, and within a short time it will die a painless death. « Coroner Peter M. Hoffman was in- dignant today and declared that grand jury action would follow should tha baby die. He had recommended to Health Commissioner Robertson, he sald, that a committee of physicians be appointed to investigate the case “Should the child die, I will im- ' mediately commence an investigation, unless I find a law that gives a phy- sician the authority Dr. Haiselden is . appropriating,” said the coroner. “He will be forced to explain things to the grand jury. I believe he is exceeding his authority in pronouncing the death sentence upon the child, even though the parents consent.” Dr. Raiselden said: I hope Coroner Hoffman does call me before the grand jury. I like to step on the neck of persons of the Coroner Hoffman type, and an action such as he threatens would open up the question of a physician’s right to help rid the world of abnormals and Ppreserve the normals. “If Coroner Hoffman believes hu- man life is so sacred, why does he not take steps to save the normal? ‘Why does he not check the appaling murder of the innocents in Chicago? “So long as the medical profession Is not taking a stronger stand in pre- venting the slaughter of the unborn; £0 long as they are allowing the mar- rying of thousanrs of feeble-minded and diseased; so long as almost any person can run a death-dealing ma- chine; so long as boards of education can withhold inexpensive lunches from " school children—so long will I con- tinue to preach the gospel of saving the world from the abnormal. f«My stand is the stand of a God- fearing man.” Meanwhile, Hodzima at her humble home, 718 North May street, continues the “painless death” sentence. “Oh, T love my baby, but T can’t hear to see him suffer,” she said to- night. “T have been giving him the medicine prescribed by Dr. Haiselden, and have made up my mind it is for the best. I would like to keep him, and it nearly breaks my heart to think of him going; but T don't want him to be a burden to himself, al- ways suffering. T have had nothing but sleepless nights since he born.” The father said: “It is just a case of saving two lives at the cost of one. For more than two years my wife has been a prisoner in her own home, though not an unwilling one. Her strength and vitality are gone. In caring for a rhild that is doomed to be an idiot she is limiting the days of her life that should be used to bring up our hov who is strong, healthy and bright. “My other son is suffering at the expense of the haby.

Slade of the High school. In the course of the paper, Mr. Slade quoted up to Wilson standards. Germany had failed, Mr. Slade sald, although apparently it had measured up to selfishness was the frost that killed the tree at the root. Germany was happy: it was happiness “Made Germany” but it was also happiness “Made for Germany.” Mr. Slade’s paper follows: “In our consideration of Democ- racy it would be a neglect of the most important of sources, were I to omit, certaln paragraphs in the incompar- son. Ever since the second of April every thoughtfu] American has been dwelling with inspiriting satisfaction upon these words: * ‘The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be plant- ed upon the tested foundations of po- litical liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no con- quests, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. 'We are but one of the champions of the rights of man- kind. We sghall be satlsfled when those rights have been made as secure a8 the faith and the freedom of na- tions can make them. “ ‘Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish object, | seeking nothing for ourselves what we shall wish'to share with all free people, we ghall, I feel confident, conduct our operations as belligerents | without passion and ourselves gbserve | with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for.’ “When President Wilson says we seek ‘nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all free | people,’ he suggests the length and breadth and height and depth of the | denrocracy of his ideal. Nearly thirty ; years ago, while a member of the faculty of Wesleyan University, in his book ‘The State,’ having defined so- clety as ‘an organic association of In- dividuals for mutual aid to self development,” he added: infinite individual variety, in the freest possible play of individual forces; only in that can it find that wealth of resource which constitutes civilization, with all its appliances for satisfying human wants and mitigating human sufferings, all its incitements to thought and spurs to action. It should be the end of government to ‘accomplish the abjects of organized society, “President Wilson's democracy must, therefore, be a democracy that seeks to bring to all its people and to all peoples who are free' ta enjoy them—that wealth of resource which constitutes civilization, with all its ap- | pliances for satisfying human wants and mitigating human suffering, all its incitements to thought and spurs to action. “Such are the objects of the de- mocracy which we have been called upon to defend, Such will be the objects of the democracy referred to in this paper. “By derivatian, the rule of the peo- ple, democracy has a two-fold mean- ing: “(1) An organized state in which the people exercise, either directly or indirectly, all authority—Ilegislative, executive and judicial; “(2) The system of government by which the people exercise such au- thority. “One important test to apply to a democracy thus defined lies in the meaning of the word ‘peaple.’ Ac- cording as a larger or smaller num- ber of individuals is shut out from the people’s privileges does demo- cracy mean less or more. Slaves and freedmen had no part in the privi- leges of the Greek democracy. In the earlier period of our own history property qualifications kept many from the privileges of citizenship. In Connecticut women do not yet exer- cise any considerable direct authority in political affairs. Minors will, in all probability, never be given political authority. “Anather test has relation to the object which the ‘people’ have in the exercise of their authority. Does the individual exist for the state or the state for the individual? The former was the case in the democracies of ancient’ times; democracies of today seek the welfare of the individual. “A third test may well be the at- titude of the majority of the ‘people’ toward the minority. Does the ma- jority voluntarily put upon itself lim- itations to protect the interests of the | minority? Only thus can the objects : of our democracy be attained. i “If the democracy meets all the re- | quirements of our definition, if the ! people—and all the people—exercise all the power; and for the good of the individual, are we bringing most sure- ly and by the most efficient means, ‘that wealth of resource which con- stitutes civilization, with all its appli- ances for satisfying human wants and mitigating human sufferng, all its in- citements to thought and spurs to ac- tion?" ! “Five years ago—and even three | and one-quarters years ago—many, even in these United States, might have been found, who would have | sought to maintain that the Imperial Government of Germanyy had gone farther toward the attainment of the ends of organized soclety than we had gone or could ever hope to go. Germany had in plenty “appliances for satisfying human wants and miti- High School Head De:livers Paper | | Council yesterday by Principal Louis President Wilson a number of times | and showed that, in order to be a true | democracy, a country must measure | these gtandards in many respects.

Today, Germany still seems to have a large reserve of these resources but we know now that they are for Germany only and—more than that—they have always been for Ger- many only. In the last analysis, it | will undoubtedly appear that they are —thty were—not for Germany but for the House of Hohenzollern and its | fAvorites only. Certainly the most | efficient monarchy that has ever ex- | isted has already failed and utterly failed, to bring to the world that mu- | tual aid to self development; it re- mains to be seen what this monarchy may bring to its own people. “But, is a democratic government suitéd to all stages of civillzation? What safeguards should we set as against the unintelligent? “Our Declaration of Independence sets forth the proposition that gov- ernments derive ‘their just powers from the consent of the governed.” It might be added that, in the long run, governments cannot exist without the consent of the governed; that, within the historical period it has been shown that for stability governments require this consent. Intelligence Is too often confused with learning. The right to hlunder is an inlerent right. Does a blundering people invblve so- ciety in any ‘larger risk than that brought by a blundering ruling house “A democratic organization not only makes possible a larger inter- play of ideas between the individuals of a state but also, through the very lack of restrictions, it makes possible larger relations betwecn states, thus ensuring a normal development. Rev- olutions come with monarchy: evolu- tion leaves to future generations a free fleld in which to solve their problems. “We call our government a democ- racy ‘With other powerful nations whose governments are democratic we are striving to make the world fe for democracy." Are our ideals really those of our president? Have we all his desire to insure the world over, ‘the freest possible play of indi- vidual forces' and to bring to all ‘that wealth of resource which constitutes civilization? * T am persuaded that it is the dominant desire and that event- ually it will be the dominant charac- terstics of our peoples. It maksas our warfare slower; the struggle will be prolonged: but in the end the people are coming to their own, and in all the countries are going to recognize their right. Then we shall have peace and I would venture to predict that gradually many new democratic gov- ernments will arise to make this peace secure.” Mrs. Starr Andrews will celebrate her 50th birthday Sunday. Fire commissioners A. E. Magnell, Frank L. Conlin and Frank Moran, together with Mayor G. A. Quigley, went to Providence today to inspect fire apparatus. A party will be held this evening at the Y.

Lake, farmer, of Loogan township, Mason county, didn’t raise his Loys to be quitters. That's why he is running his farm alone while one of the boys lies wounded in an-army hospital in France and another is in European - waters on board a United States sub- marine chaser. A weeck ago news despatches told of the wounds received by John J. Smith, a private, and the War De- partment sent word to Mr. Lake that his son had been shot down by the Germans. For Private Smith of the Sixteenth infantry really is Irvin Lake, of Logan township, Mason county, Michigan. When he enlisted he used the name of Smith, “to cscape pub- licity.” The Germans would never get him alive, he said, and he didn’t want any one to try to make a hero out of him for doing his duty to his country. That is what he told his father when he left the old farm to go to the recruiting office. He repeated sentiment in the last letter that the rural free delivery carrier gave to-the lonely but proud father. *The Ger- mans will never take me prisoner, Dad,” he wrote. “T'll die first.” But he isn't going to die, because the War Department has learned that the men wounded in the action are do- ing very well. The War Department runs to brévity in communicating with the nearest of kin. of the nation's the | the farm. But I'll do my bit right here at home by trying to do the ‘work that the three of us used to do.” After that work is done and supper is over the father brings out the let- ters. | He thrills at the sentiments of loyalty to country and love for “Dad.” Then before he reads them agaln he will open a little package and un- fold a little pink silk handkerchief, beautifully embroidered. Ralph sent it to the wife of the other son, F. D. Lake, who lives in Indiana, and she | sent it to the father on the old farm. : It 1s a reminder of the boys that he | cherishes, and every night as he sits : by the kerosene lamp he spells out, the letters, embroidered with a pro- fusion and confusion of flourishes.
