Special attention was given to this subject at the nascent iMeUttK of the national conferwife* of charities ami correction at Pittsburc, where the work of the IndlntiM reformatory at Jeffersonville was explained by David K. Peyton, the auperintendetit, and the work of the Indiana state farm at putnamvllle, by Charles K. Tatklngton, the superintendeot. The real results of this work Is best shown hi the operation of the indeterminate sentence and paroie law. It

has been In operation since April, 1897. 1 ftreful account has been kept of its operations. Reports are made every sixf months to the Ixiard of state charities. The records show in that time 10.933 persons have been released by the parole board# of the Institutions under the operation of this law. These tover the slate prison at Michigan City, the reformatory at Jeffersonville, and the Woman’s prison, at Indianapolis. Of this number, 6,f>94 have completed their parole and were discharged. All except 2,8*7 are reported as doing satisfactorily. A large number have been re-established and are now Industrious, law-abiding citizens.

Their per Konai expenses during the parole period were »2,4tM.847.fi», The balance they had on hand or due them at the time they were reporting amounted to 1667,774.75. The following Is the statement In detail of the indeterminate sentence and parole law from April 1, 1897, to April 1,

IComrpomien-* of The Indianapolis New*J ! AUSTIN, Tex., July 16—As a means I increasing the agricultural produo | I tk ' r * of Texas this year, a great many j hew' irrigation pumping plants are be- I ing placed on wells in the shallow water districts of the state. Water is found ; to exist In sufficient quantities for ini- > nation in many localities where it was 'formerly believed there was not enough except toy creating surface storage res-

ervoirs.

Development cf the shallow water belt of tbs lower plains region of western Texas ha* been in progress for the last four or five years, and, as a result of this form of reclamation, thousands of acres 'h*v* been transformed into a j »- high state of prod xctivenesa The water strata In these shallow wells Is struck : ^ anywhere from thirty to eighty feet, and by the use of a centrifugal pump and I gasoline engine each well is capable-of , i providing water for irrigating from 126 to W6 acres. One concern which is de- 1 ! veioping 0)jm acres of land near Plain- ! view by this method of irrigation, has already put in about 360 pumping ! plants and engine* on shallow wells, and it will continue the work until the entire

acreage is under Irrigation. Larger Yield Promised.

On some of this land wheat is being grown this year by irrigation, and the grain promises to give a much larger yield than that which is obtained by j dry fsnm'ng methods Various other j crops such an Indian corn, kaffir com. 1 mllo maize and peanuts, are being sue- ! cessfuliy grown in western Texas by the application of water from these wells. In the'region tying more than 260 miles to the south of the shallow water belt ' of the plains country are several broad , vaileys that also possess an apparently inexhaustible supply ofpure water that ] may be obtained in sufficient quantities j for practical irrigation purposes, ixi the valley around Alpine, situated at gn altitude of 5,066 feet above sea level, shallow water Is being brought to the surface bv means of pumping plants on j wells, and is used quite extensively for j j irrigating orchards and held crops. To the west of Alpine is the broad Van Horn valley, which is in perhaps the most arid part of Texas. This valley is underlaid with pure water that is found at shallow depth and offers an opportunity for reclaiming the whole area of the valtev by means of Irrigation through the putting down of shallow wells and the use of pumping plants.

Region Near Pearsall.

One of the latest localities in the state to receive attention because of the inexhaustible supply of shallow water that Is found by putting down wells, is near Pearsall, about fifty miles to the south of San Antonio, in the semi-arid region of the border. The development of this supply has been greatly stimuJated by the protracted drought that was felt In that part of the state, and which threatened to decrease the production of all kinds of crops to the

point of almost failure.

Some of the farmers decided to experiment in shallow well drilling and pumping plants for the purpose of irrigating their respective tracts of land. Success was obtained immediately in the experiment, and the test*, as far as made, show' that the water supply covers a large area, and there seems to be no limit to the quantity. More than twenty-five irrigation pumping plants and engines have already been put on rhailow wells in the immediate vicinitv of Pearsall, and the work of insuring the crops against the chance of drought by means of bringing to the surface this underground water supply is spreading

rapidly.

GENERAL BARNETT’S LETTER

Where Disease Germs Breed In almost every city there is a neighborhood that is a hot-bed of tuVrculoais because one drop of infected sputum was permitted to dry and become scattered with the dust, guch a region spreads disease in every direction. Many a deadly epidemic could have been prevented if some housewife somewhere had realized the value of home disinfection. In every home there are places where disease germs are almost always present. Left undisturbed, these germs will breed by millions and menace the life and health of your family and your neighborhood. Yet you can make these danger spots germ-proof.

Disinfectant

Kills ell germs no matter what their nature. It also kills the spores (eggs) so germ life is impossible where Lysol solution is used regularly. Get a bottle today; its use is wise end economical. A 25 c bottle makes two gallons of reliable disinfectant (a 50c bottle makes five gallons) for cuspidor, sink, bath, toilet, garbage can and all places where germs breed or are likely to breed. Lytol is also invaluable for personal hygiene. Full directions lor si 1 uses accompany every bottle. But'rsmember that there is but One True Lysol and that Is the product made, bottled, signed and sealed by Lehn ft Fink. Accept only when sold in original yellow package. Three sizes: 25c, 50c, and $1.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The United States marines who went to France will think many times of the kindness of American women in adding to their comfort and health by providing them with extra woolen garments and comfort outfits, says Major-General George j Barnett, commandant of marines, in a | letter received by Mrs. James Carroll | Frazer, chairman of the comforts comj mittee of the Navy League. Every marine in the expeditionary force received extra woolen clothing knitted by the women of the Navy League. It was necessary to rush this work through so rapidly that Colonel C, A. Doyen in command of the marine expeditionary regiment, in thanking the league for this service, said that the quickness and efficiency of these volunteer workers seemed to him "little short of a miracle." Here is Major-General Barnett’s letter, which is really addressed to each of the many thousand American women now engaged in this work under the direction of the comforts committee of the Navy

League:

‘ Headquarters U. S. Marine Corps, “Commandant’s Office,. Washington.

‘My Dear Mrs. Frazer:

i “Let me thank you most sincerely j for all you have done toward furnishing 2,700 sweaters needed for the I marines who are going to France | with the first expedition. I want you to know that not only I, as commandant of the marine corps, but that I all of the officers and men of the corps j very greatly appreciate your efforts and the efforts of those who assisted you in this great work. I am sure j that the men who are going will think many times of your kindness in doing so much work to add to their comfort and health. Through you let me | acknowledge my thanks to all who

| assisted you.

“If it can possibly be done, I wish | very much that you would let me have the names and addresses of the [different units that were working S with you in making sweaters, so that i I may at least send my thanks and (appreciation to those units, i “I am sure that it will add very much | to the efficiency of the men at the i front to know" that so many kind friends at home are ready and willing S to work for their comfort. “Again thanking you most cordially. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) “GEORGE BARNETT. 1 “Major-General. Commandant.” DYES FROM BANANAS.

Boston Men Said to Have Made Important Discovery. BOSTON, July 16.—Boston newspapers state that an important discovery in dye manufacturing has been made by William W. Coe, Jr., who is now in London but will return to Boston. He claims to have been able to produce coloring material from bananas, using all grades of the fruit, green, ripe, overripe, skin, pith and stem. Every known color can be produced, it is said, and at a much smaller cost than is possible with the stock now available for the dye houses. Experiments were made by Mr. Coe In his own home on bananas, extracting coloring from them. Then Mr. Coe went to London, to the laboratories of the noted chemist. Dr. Charles Doree, and has worked with him for several months. Dr. Doree is quoted as saving that he has made every known color from the extracts produced by Mr. Coe, and Mr. CoS has since been elected to membership in the London Dyers and Colorera’ Association, because of his discovery, which has been patented in several countries.
