SALE OF TOBACCO T6 CIIILDBEtl IS TO BEPREVEIITED Children's Aid Society of Indianapolis Is Back of a Movement Which Will Start This Week. THROUGHOUT STATE MOVE WILL SPREAD It Is Feared That Under the Present Law Unscrupulous Dealers Will Sell Cigarettes To Everybody.

(Special Correspondent.) Indianapolis, May 10. A concerted effort is being planned to prevent the sale of tobacco and cigarettes to children in the cities and towns throughout the. state, and this week the movement will get its start when every tobacco dealer in this city will receive a notice from the Children's Aid society that It will prosecute every person who sells or gives tobacco or cigarettes to children contrary to the law. Then the work will be pushed Into the other cities of the state, the Children's Aid society relying on the assistance of charitable societies in those places to make the movement successful. It Is not every dealer in tobacco of course, that sells his goods to children, but the practice is entirely too prevalent, so the officers of the society declare, and it must be stopped. The society points out that the Dassage by the last legislature of a bill repealing a part of the anti-cigarette Haw has added a new danger to the situation, for it is now legal for a 'dealer to keep cigarettes for sale to adults, where under the law as it stood before the amendment was passed It was a crime to keep cigarettes for sale at all. Difficult to Protect. Jt is feared that under the present law unscrupulous dealers will sell cigarettes not only to adults but to whoever asks for them, whether they be adults or children. Therefore, the sc- . clety says, it will be difficult to protect the young boys of the state against the use of cigarettes, although a strong effort will be made in that direction. . . The letters of warning which are to be sent to tobacco dealers in this city this week will be signed by V. H. Lockwood, chairman of the child protection committee of the association, and are as follows: Dear Sir: The Children's Aid association desires to call your attention to me jaws aDout selling and giving tobacco and cigarettes to minors, to the importance of obeying the laws for the sake of the children, and to the fact that the Children's Aid association and the teachers of the city , are keeping a close watch upon the violations of the law and intend to i enforce the same not in a crusading I spirit, but in a reasonable, yet persistent manner. 8ynopsis of the Law, t 1. Tobacco No person fs allowed to sell or give, directly or indirectly, to a child or other person, any tobacco to be used by a child under 16 years of age, or allowed to persuade advise or compel any such child to use tobacco. Penalty Fine from $10 to $100 and Imprisonment ten to thirty days." Acts 1905, page 719. Cigarettes (a) No person is allowed to permit or encourage a boy under 16 or a girl under 17 years of age to smoke a cigarette. PenaltyPine up to $500 or jail up to six months or both. Acts 1905, page 440. .: (b) No person, firm or corporation is allowed to sell or give to a minor under the age of 21 years any cigarette or . cigarette wrapper, or to persuade, advise or compel him to smoke a cigarette. Penalty Fine from $10 to $100 and imprisonment up to sixty days. Acts 1905. page 719. (c) No person Is allowed -by himself, his clerk, employe or agent, directly or indirectly, to give or sell to any person under 21 years of age any cigarette or cigarette wrapper. Penalty Fine from $25 to $100 for first offense; for second offense. $100 to $500 or Jail or workhouse up to six months. Acts 1909. page 28. Burden on Dealer. Dealers cannot sell to a person under 21 years of age cigarette wrappers for any one's use whatever, whether bought by a minor for use himself or for some other one. Dealers can sell cigarettes and cigarette wrappers only to adults over 21 years of age. The burden is on the dealer to assure himself about the age of the purchaser. In dealings between minors and dealers the burden as to age and the ob servance of the law Is upon the dealer rather than the child, and he should not be content with a mere statement ,by the child. We desire to urge' all dealers in tobacco and cigarettes to assist in enforcing the laws as to the sale of tobacco and cigarettes to children. The Children's Aid Association. NOTICE.

She is a practicing lawyer in Brooklyn and has been designated by the courts to close up the business of a firm of Brooklyn sNe dealers. SECRETARY BROWN REPORTED WORSE Pneumonia Has Complicated His Troubles. The condition of Charles Brown, who acted as subscription secretary for the local Y. M. C. A. during its campaign for funds to erect the building is very critical. Several weeks ago while employed ' at Laporte, in raising funds for an association building, he was taken ill with appendicitis and removed to his home in Michigan City. An operation was necessary and since that time he has been recovering but slowly and has never been entirely out of danger. Now, however, his condition has grown much worse by reason of pneumonia Betting in. His manv local friends re gret very much to learn of his serious condition, " For a Summtr Veranda. The girl who wishes to render the verandas of the summer cottage attractive should take time by the forelock nnd make np an assortment of r;"'w covers. One of the most serv,o tops is of a new material which .-;.te!y resembles leather and comes in red, blue, green and leather shades made up plainly and fringed with imitation leather fringe. Burlap covers are embroidered with flower, foilage and bird designs or with fringe made by fraying the edges of the face and back of the pillow top. Lingerie pillows are of muslin all over embroidery, of batiste banded and frilled with embroidery and of dotted and sprayed swiss. Any of the flowered lawns are pretty if finished with wide ruffles, and so are the Scotch ginghams striped in two tones of one coler. Some of them have a broken tartan plaid border that makes an effective raffle. Scotch madras in two tone or solid colors furnishes a serviceable and smart looking pillow top, and there are most attractive plain French linens in such shades as wistaria, catawba, champagne, vandyke brown aad oM rase. Ecru scrim la an exveUent material for a perch pfllow cover and is charmlag when decorated with Dalmatian embreidery in oriental celor combinations with embroidery silk. Cream colored scrim is used without a pattern, as to also the work. For the Doeblinger work, done on colored monks' clath. the eight fold Germantown yarn is used to develop art nouveau or oriental patterns. A Safe Thing to Do. ' When purchasing the material for a blouse or dress it is as well to get half a yard or so more, in view of alteration contingencies. If the dressmaker can be prevailed upen to return any pieces of waste the extra half yard might not be needed; also should the wearer be the maker of the blouse or bodice In question. But, of course, much depends on the style and the quantity purchased, as In many cases the pieces left over are not enough to do much In the way of renovation. Carman Sytva an Waman'a Rights.

JUDGE PEUFIELD LOST THE- FIGHT

Prominent Indianian Struggled In Vain With the Grim Reaper. HIS DEATH CAME SUNDAY DECEASED WAS FORMERLY SOLICITOR FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND HELD OTHER " IMPORTANT OFFICES. Washington, D. C. May 10. After an illness lasting six or seven weeks. William T. Penfleld; former Solicitor of the State Department, died here Sunday morning. He. was 63 years old and is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lena Walter, a daughter and a son, who live in Washington, and a sister, Mrs. George W. Duncan, who resides in Greenfield, I nek Judge Penfleld was a ' native of Michigan, but spent most of his life in Indiana and in this city, having come to Washington 12 years ago to accept the position of Solicitor in the State Department, from which he resigned four years ago to resume his law practice. Took Up Politics. Soon after his marriage in 1875, Penfleld moved with his family to Auburn, Ind., where he took an active part in politics. He was elected City Attorney and a member of the Republican Stale Committee, and in 1S88 was a Presidential elector from that Utate, and the electoral messenger who brought the vote for Harrison to Washington. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1892, and was appointed Judge of the United States .Circuit Court for In diana, in which office he remained un til 1897, when he came to the State Department.

He was also at one time Special Commissioner of this Government to Brazil, and agent and counsel for the Government in pending arbitration between the United States and Nicaragua. The funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon and interment will be in the District of Columbia, A FALSE ECONOMY. The Housewife Who Boils Har Window Shades. Here is a new one for the frugally minded housewife: "Whenever I have old window shades which have become too soiled to put up again," writes a housewife in a certain magazine for women. "I take them off the rollers, give them a thorough boiling, then wash and dry and iron the same and" now listen to this; they don't turn out to be piano scarfs or mantel drapes or even little girls' petticoats, but says this careful person "I have excellent cloths, which are good for dusting, cleaning windows or drying cut glass." Now, will you listen to that "excellent dust cloths" and how would you like the task of boiling up a lot of old window shades? Twould be a pleasant undertaking, wouldn't it? There can be no question that the effort to economize is in every way commendable and. dear knows, rare enough in these days of prodigality, but there Is a limit past which economy ceases to be a virtue. There are women with whom economy has become almost a mania. Doubtless she of the boiled window hades is suffering from such a malady, else she wouldn't be boiling up her old shades to make dusters when she ought to be standing in front of her looking glass curling her front hair or sitting down and studying her Sunday school lesson. But this is only one example of the false economy that saves and makes over to poor purpose. Economy to doubtless a poor name for this particular sort of thing. It is. in truth, more of an overpowering desire to make something ont of nothing, which generally ends in exactly the other, very much the other, way about. Old dresses made over at great labor and expense and leftover food re heated with more eggs and butter than a new dish would be worth are exam ples of this same mania, which pee esses many a good woman. A Question of Nerves. A nerve -expert says that when women begin to long for the right to rote or feel inclined to fritter away their time at card parties and in a general way are no particular good te their families it to a sign of disease. If husbands would only consult the doctors when family conditions be come unbearable he thinks much trou ble might be Avoided. , Potatoes a la Prinaaose.

Dip the tripe first into the melted butter, then Into the egg and lay them with a ksdfe oa lightly buttered tin pans. Cook la hot oven for ten minutes and serve.
