FEWER SENT TO JAIL LAST YEAR State Institutions Less Populous, Report Shows. The number of person* *ent to Jail in Indiana last year was far below the mark *et In 1916 and 1910, according to a report of the State board of charities. In 1920, the report shows, 17,182 persons were sent to Jail aa compared to 40,073 In 1916 and 33.478 in 1910. Likewise the number of person* oonTtcted and sentenced was at a low mark. In 1920 3,276 persons were sentenced as misdemeanants, ninety-one going to correctional Institutions, 993 to the Indiana State Farm and the remainder to the county Jails. In 1916, 12,360 were convicted and sentenced and in 1910, 14,820. The report shows that in 1920, 718 felons were committed as compared to 895 in 1916 and 556 in 1910. Last year there were 185 suspended sentences grant ed felons, whereas 244 were granted In 1916 and 196 in 1910. Six hundred and sixty-six persons were released last year under the indeterminate sentence law as compared to 572 in 1916 and 540 in 1910 “Last year the records from all of our prlßons,'' says the report, “show that there was a lessening number of sentences for crime. The total admissions to county Jails were less than ever before since records have been kept. The number of persons convicted and who served sentence in county Jails was less than one-fourth what it was five years ago. The number convicted and sentenced to the State Farm was less than it has been any year since it was established, and the number admitted to the correctional department of the Indiana M Oman’s Prison was the lowest In ten years. The total number of misdemeanants admitted to all these Institutions last year was only about onefourth of what was admitted ten years or even flTe years ago. “The reports from the State institutions which receive felons, the Indiana Reformatory, State Prison and Woman's Prison, also show reductions. “The total number committed last year to these three institutions was, with one exception, the lowest in five years. The total average daily population was the lowest in ten years. The total number of suspended sentence cases for felonies was, with one exception, the lowest in five years. The number paroled under the Indeterminate sentence and parole law was the lowest for the past five years. In 1918 it was the largest on account of the fire at the Reformatory and the demand for workers in the different communities on account of the /labor shortage. ‘The population of State prisons, reformatories and Jails, the commitments for both felonies and misdemeanors, the number of felons released under suspended sentence law (no record for misdemeanants) and the number of persons paroled under the indeterminate sentence and parole law were all less last year.” Decollete Designs Startle Parisians PARIS, Feb. —Strange decollete designs are being employed In the latest Paris dresses, which are extremely lowcut behind. In one the only clothing above the waist at the back is an enorous bow fixed In the hollow of the back above ■which the body Is entirely undraped. Yet another original back covering is a filmy close-fitting network of black lace with two panels in it on the shoul-der-blades, through which openings the white shoulders are revealed.

William Collier comes to English’s for three days, commencing Monday night, with a matinee on Wednesday, under t,he ■ management of Sam H. Harris, in “The i Hottentot,” which is proving one of the ; greatest successes of his career. In New | York last season the critics and public jtook very kindly to Mr. Collier's new l starring vehicle and the play ran many I months at the -eorge M. Cohan Theater. | This season Mr. Cos tiler has scored a triumph in both Boston and Chicago. | “The Hottentot,” to confide a bit of the plot, is a horse, and is owned by Peggy Fairfax, a dream of a girl. Sam Harrington (played by Mr. Collier) meets the girl and things are never the same with him after that. Because of a terrible riding experience In his youth, Sam |is morbidly afraid of horses. In fact, |he is suffering from horseshoek. When | the girl mistakes Sam for a famous | steeplechaser and wants him to ride her | horse in a race, what can the poor mau | do? He cannot very well confess that he Is not the hero the girl thinks him to be and he cannot acknowledge himself a quitter. He therefore rides the horse, but meanwhile in solving the problem, he has managed to keep his audience la one continuous roar of laughter.

Simple SHOULD TIE PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphato to Put on Firm, Healthy Flenh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Nerve Force, Jtfdglng from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust ana replacing ugly hollows and angles by tho soft twrved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphates than Is contained In modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so veil as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is Inexpensive and Is sold by Hook's drug stores and most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directlv and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements. bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appear auee, the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase In weight also carries with It a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disap- I pear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and j pale cheeks glow with the bloom of pe J feet health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who j was once thin and frail, reporting her i own experience, writes: “Bitro-Phog- 1 phate has brought about a magic trans- j formation with me. I gained fifteen j pounds and never before felt so well." | CAPTION: —Although Bitro-Phosphate I is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness.
