Writing to the 'World' in behalf of the condemned 'gunmen,' Mrs. Inez Milbolland-Boissevain asserts that-- Life, education and environment have penalized these youths to the fullest extent, as evidenced by their every word and act: With due respect to Mrs. Boisse- vain, this is sheer nonsense. These young men were penalized by them- selves, and by themselves alone. ~~ They came of decent, hard-working parents. They were born under ex- actly the same-conditions that tens of thousands of industrious, law-abiding men of New York were born. They had the same educational opportuni- They had the same chance to make something of themselves. They did not become criminals by circums They are not 'warped and ; offspring of our present ay Lisenin y elected a crimi as the easiest Way of making Society did not lead them aihafon of the death-chair.{ are wage-slaves ; that are oppressors ; that tyrant which. grinds lives of the poor to create luxuries for the rich; and that nobody is responsible for anything he may do unless he hap-/ pens. to have been born with a 'silver, spoon in his mouth, 'What wonder that ols Whit Lewises, out Dago Franks, our 'Gyj the Blood and our Lefty Louies dripk | in this contempt for honest labor, and | for fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters who are content to earn their bread in the sweat of their faces! |. Why work when one can be a thug, a tin-horn gambler, a pimp, a cheap burglar and a criminal parasite upon society in general? That sort of doc- trine is pounded into the ears of the youth of New York every day. For- tunately, most of them have tod much | sense and character to followit. * But that is not the fault of the social agi- tators who. spare no effort to teach the degradation of labor, i Society owes neither reparation nor apology to the graduates of this school. Whatever sympathy the 'World' has to give, whatever help it can offer, will not be wasted upon 'gunmen' convict- ed of murder. Whatever measure of sympathy and help the 'World' can extend to struggling humanity is re-| served for the boys and girls, the men |" and women, who are seeking to make something of themselves, who -are striving to be useful members of society, who are not afraid to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, and who try to do their duty as God gives them strength and light to see that duty. These are the people whose battle the 'World' esteems it a high privilege to help fight, and we shall waste none of our time in blub bering over convicted 'gunmen,' the manner of whose death will be no more shameful than the manner of their life.

It is now an important article of food, a glass of it containing about as much nutriment as a large potato or half a pint of oysters. The 'sour taste is caused by. the lactic acid, in reality the real digestive factor, as buttermilk is more easily digested than sweet milk, and is fed extensively to babies in Holland. Cottage cheese is another 'healthful food, containing lactic acid. Experi- ments show that cottage cheese, when prepared with cream, compares favor- ably to meat in respective food values. It also has the added value of being inexpensive. It is also excellent for all rheumatic affections. This cheese is finding a very large sale in the United States and is much sought after 1n the big cities.
