NEWSPAPER COMICR GOOD FOR NERVES, SAYS DOCTOR Neurasthenics Urged to Look on the Funny Side of IJfe. Comic Strips Healthful. New York, June 24. —Rend she news paper eomie sections, cultivate a taste for good stories and look on the humor ous side of life if yon would be healthy, was the advice given today by Dr. Frederick W. Seward, neurologist of Goshen, N. Y., at the 81st annual con vention of the American Institute of Homeopathy. “People .whose ire is easily aroused, who fly into rage on the slightest pro vocation, are candidates for nerve ex haustion and brain fag,” Dr. Seward said. “A calm, even temperament is an invaluable health asset. “I advise neurasthenics to look for the funny side of life. The liberal sprinkling of our newspapers with comic strips is a decidedly beneficial thing, from a health standpoint.” Personality is largely a matter of in heritance, Dr. Seward asserted. "We are largely under the influence of our in herited ductless glands,” he said. “But what we are and what we become de pends greatly upon ourselves. We owe mueh to the coming generations. The gains we make in health, strength and mental efficiency are a priceless heritage to succeeding generations.” C. & O. Wants to Purchase Another Sys tem.

What is wanted is not impatient criti cism. of whieh much has been given in the past, but competent advice. The leg islature is seeking to better and to ren der more efficient administration of jus tice in the stnte. “The real strength and power of the courts must rest ultimately upon the faith and confidence of the people. The three departments of government in this country draw their life blood from the same source. They are separate and dis tinct. it is true, yet each serves as a cheek and auxiliary to the others. They are servants of a common master, work ing in a common business, striving for a common end. I think it may be safe ly said in this learned presence that* no institution, ever yet devised, can sustain its authority over a free and thoughtful people unless it merit their respect and confidence. Hampered as we may be b.v the restrictions of certain statutes Which at times seem to tangle justice in the net of form, still the responsibility is ours to merit and retain the respect of the people at large. No man ean measure the debt of the county to its courts. On the other hand, who dares to measure the obligation and duty of the bench and bar to a patient and pa triotic people in seeing to it that their faith and confidence are justified and sus tained? This is not a-duty whieh we owe to ourselves as much as it io a debt which the bench and bar owe the state and nation, over and above the ob ligations of citizenship, 6y virtule of their ■ high calling, and by reason of their op portunity to' look ‘beyond ‘the vision of ■ ' battling races and an impoverished earth and catch a dreaming glimpse of peace,’ to borrow an expressive phrase from Mr. Justice Holmes. Faith, respect and con fidence constitute the trinity upon which the enduring strength of the courst must be planted and sustained.” Judge Stacy declared that “it is the j work of the trial courts to settle liti- . gat ion; it is the task of the appellate courts to settle the law; it is the busi ness of all to move with reasonable dis patch, that justice may not be denied ] by delay. And I pause to make this 1 pertinent observation about the admin istration of the courts: When parties re sort to the judiciary for the settlement of their disputes, they are invoking a public agency, and they should not for get that rules of procedure are necessary and must be observed, in order that the ' courts may properly discharge their du ties. Afjfl while the adjective law is ; not to be .enforced harshly or Oppressive ly, but rather In a spirit of liberality, to the end that justice may be adminis- ' tered in all cases, yet this does not mean ' that the courts should apply the rules, of practice in such a manner as to favor the negligent and at the same time penal ize the diligent party. “Quite a number of recommendations [ have already been suggested for consi eration, and others will readily occur ! as we progress with our deliberations. But as to whether they shall be taken up in the first instance by the whole conference or referred to commmittees to I be considered by them and reported back, I leave to your decision. The question ' of organization and the procedure of the conference itself is the first matter for consideration. I now declare the con ference open for the transaction of busi ness.” BLIND VETERANS PLEDGE ANEW FAITH TO FLAG Bixty-Five Blind Members of Disabled American Veterans Hold Meeting in Omaha.

STEEL AND CONCRETE IN ERECTING SMALL HOUSES Offer Distinct Opportunities in Home Building, Says Expert.

Brigham, of Boston, ' speaking today before the National As- j 1 sociation of Real Estate Boards in con- ' vention here. 1 “One of our national handicaps in new ; inventions is to get away from prece- 1 dent,” he declared. “Architects and builders cling to old designs and find it difficult to use unfamiliar designs re quired for new materials. Concrete and : steel offer distinct opportunities in home : building, both in design and attractive ness.” 1..... . ..... Declaring it is false economy to pro duce shoddy houses, or bouses of poorer construction than appears on the sur face, unless for some recognized tern- 1 porary use, Mr. Brigham said: “It is far better to have the floor joists unnecessarily braced and unneces sarily large than to have the floors sag. the walls and ceilings crack and the 1 doors jam after two or three years. The builder may have sold his house and ob tained his profit, but the purchaser finds 1 that his house is not so good as it looked and the reputation of its builder, and of builders in general, is injured. Although such injuries are so insidious that build- i ere may not be conscious of the extent, i nevertheless each injury of this kind 1 makes it harder to sell the next house at ■ a profit.” SHEPHERD CASE TO GO TO THE JURY TONIGHT Probable That Arguments Wifi Be Con cluded During the Afternoon.
