Peter Witt and 96,000 Fares Editor The Star: From a news item in my copy of The Star of Oct, 11, It appears that our council has contracted with friend Peter Witt to diagnose our car system's disorders. Zip! there goes the revenue from 96,000 car But we should worry tf Peter can lay his finger on the trouble, and our friends, the council, will permit us remedy it, In the same breath, sald news item remarks that our playful coun- cil has appropriated $50,000 from the railway depreciation fund to buy buses for Cowan Park and other districts, Mow can do? Did not the reports tell us that we must put away at compound interest each year five per cent of the cost of the system, so that when years had rolled by and all that remained of our once proud railway system was an almost obliterated right-of-way, we could go down to the bank, withdraw our pow $15,000,000, and buy a brand new system, just lke putting down @ new rug in the front hall! And now we are spending from our new rug fund. Next we'll be appropriating from this fund to buy pickles to go with the councils’ lunchea, Verily, the older I get, the’ less I understand about what I know.

Prosser, Wash. Gloria Odell and Her Mother Editor The Star: I read the other night that Gloria Odell will be taken away from her mother one year from now and put away somewhere else, If there is any other punishment that can be handed to @ mother that is more sinhuman than taking away the baby that she carried close to her heart so many months, giving it her very life blood, and afterwards going down into the valley of the shadow of death to bring it into the world, T would like to know what it is. I would like to wager that if the mother were given her choice of 20 years in jail with her babe, and absolute freedom without it, she would choose prison.! In ‘the first place, she should| have “been given her freedom long) ago, and her husband should be| alive today and free. I have heard/ lots of people express the same views, but like myself, have never written the paper to express their views. This is my first attempt. Now, Mr. Editor, you can tell me, if @ man finds another man tn his wife's room and kills him, he ts given his freedom and absolutely nothing done to him on the “un- writtes law” that a man has a Tight to kill In defense of his own and his wife's honor, why Odell and his wife did not have a right to kill the. beast in human form, that took away her honor’ while Just a child, d hounded her al most to death afterwards? What man is there with a spark of red) blood in him, that, were she his wife or his daughtér, would not have gone out and done likewise? I have a little daughter myself, and I can assure you that if ever such @ thing should happen to her I would torture the hound until he would be glad to die. Now fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, let us see fair play, Think of all that hound has caused that poor girl to suffer so far. First he deprived her of REV.M.A. MATTHEWS Wil!

For 20 years Mrs. Shepherd suf, fered from rheumatism, which de nied all forms of treatment. « She was induced to take the long trip from her home in South Dakota, to, Dr. Loughney’s Sanitarium, whore she underwent @ course of the fa- mous baking treatments and where she was placed on a corrective plan of eating. For six months before less and had to be c@rried into the doctor's offices; she also had.to be carried and placed in the bake oven wach day on beginhing treatments. However, Mrs, Shepherd was not at all inclined to the habit of having anybody walk the floor with her, and it only required a few days’ bakings to re-establish the old spirit of gotoitiveness, and just as soon as her joints began to loosen up she began to hobble slowly toward the bake oven for each succeeding bake. After each bake she found she was more nimble and accurate about her step on returning to her bed. Day by day she improved un- til she found herself entirely free from rheumatism, and her hip to Health at 70 joints, which were so stiff and pain- ful, were so limbered that she Could stand with her knees held stiff and straight and bend forward just as she laughingly posed for the pho tographer—as her above photograph shows—and easily placed the finger tips of both hands on the floor. Her own signed statement follows: “The above is a true statement of my case. The bakes are wonderful- ly effective and exceedingly pleas ant to take, and I can heartily rec ommend Dr. Loughney’s methods to all sufferers. The corrective plan of eating Dr. Loughney prescribed for my case completely overcame all my chronic stomach trouble and constipation, and I picked right up in weight and good color.
