CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
More murders art* committ••<I in
capital punishment sla|es than
are committed per capita in the
stales that haw abolished |li•>
death penally.
The percentage of increase of
homicides in capital punishment
states is larger per capita than
in stales in which I lie death pen
ally has been abolished.
Maine, Hhode Island. Michigan j
and Wisconsin abolished capital
punishment more than ten years
before 1900. The ratio of mur
der in capital punishment stales
ill 1891) is shown by I he federal
census to have been two and one- j
half times as ureal as in the non
capital pu lishmcnl stales.

capital punishment stales was j
1 S5.2 per million.
Homicides are swiftly increas- !
ing in llic Unite I Slates, hut the j

Now is
The
Time
To advertise. If business Is quiet
Invigorate It by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merohant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
Its msrlts. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. .Try It.--.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i- a fact that Valdez beer is n food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Uae
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
olhers. First, becausc of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product: brewed in your home
town nnd all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should pntroniz home products.
