J . Penal Farm a Success I The Indiana press has been carrying news stories and editorial writers have been expatiat-

' ing on an" alleged mismanagement of the state I penal farm. It is charged that the superintendent lacks executive ability, that inmates leave the farm and accost and insult women living in !the neighborhood. ; It also has been alleged that farm property near the penal institution has depreciated in value. - George Seidel, member of the board of trus

tees of the institution, in 'a statement issued yesterday, comes to the defense of the institution. He affirms that the farm is "making oyer" men, that inmates take on weight and leave the insti- ' tution in better shape physically and morally than when they were admitted. The effv -f the treatment, he states, has ! been wondc.v 1, and when these men leave they ; stand a better chance of becoming good members

of society, than if they had been confined in a . county jail with nothing to do but to eat, sleep,

and waste away the . time, waiting with impati

ence when the jail door opens and they go back

into society, often to plunge at once , into the

same debauchery and shame that sent them to the county bastile. Charges of lax discipline are emphatically denied. More than 700 men have been sent to the farm since it was opened April 12. The men are kept in squads under overseers who accompany them to work. They are not allowed to leave the farm. Only about five percent of the 700 have escaped, and Mr. Seidel believes it improbable tha they would stay near the farm, annoy, ing fanners and their families, as a reward of $10 is offered for the arrest of a fugitive. . : -Much of the criticism of the institution, as

Mr. Seidel rightly points out, arises from the newness of the institution. It cannot be expect ed that thejnstitution will run like fi .well 'regulated house or factory in a few months. Let the institution be-tried out for several-years before it is pronounced a failure. r , Some of the editorial criticism of the management of the farm may arise from political causes. The' superintendent "draws a substantial salary for his work, and political sore heads, of course, will lose no opportunity to condemn the man who is managing the institution. The penal vfarm so far has justified its existence, and carping criticism based on no substantial grounds will not destroy the confidence of the people of the state in the institution. . . ... ." ...

WHAT CAUSES TUBERCULOSIS?

Keeping the Streets in Repair

Drastic action ought .to be taken against the public utility corporations thattearjip the streets of the cfty and i then "fill to rnake repairs

Iwhichj restore the street to its former state.

Many blocks of the city are unsightly with elevations, or depressions in the street caused by failure of the companies to fill their trenches and pack the material. Of what advantage is it, if ihe city spends thousands" of dollars making and repairing streets, if public utility, companies tear them up as fast as the city completes' its work. Council ought put an end to the practice at once.

Many Fighters Meet Own Kin in Battle Alsatian Brothers on Opposite Sides Meet, Embrace, One Shot for Treason, While Jewish Prayer Saves Cousin From Death.

PARIS, July 22. Many of the incidents "of the American civil war when brother fought , brother and father fought son, can be duplicated from the intimate " history of the present etruggle. ' ; A few months ago Lieutenant P , a French officer, was sent out with a party of ten men to reconnoitre. They were cautiously advancing toward a little wood between the French and German lines, when they found themselves face to face with about fifteen Germans. Both sides raised their rifles to fire, when Lieutenant P held up his handkerchief tied to the tip of his sword. With oaths of anger the Frenchmen dropped their guns and turned to see the enemy officers embrace. They were brothers, 'both Alsations ,one French and the other German. Lieutenant Loses Life.

At that moment a strong party of

French rushed upon them and surrounded both little parties. All were taken back to camp and the French lieutenant was court-martialled and shot. Another case was that of a Russian Jewish soldier who was sent with his regiment of infantry to fight against the Austrians. One day the bugles sounded the charge, as one man the soldiers of the Czar dashed forward under a heavy Austrian fire till they reached the enemy's trenches, bayoneting as they advanced. Prayer Saves Life. Just as the Russian Jew raised his bayonet to deal another deathblow, he heard his antagonist cry aloud the

j Saves Her Mother's Life. "I am positive that Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy saved my mother's life about twelve vears ago for she was very sick with bloody dysentery. We have kept it in the house ever since and use 1 it a number of times for summer complaints and other bowel trouble," writes Mrs. A. Marlowe, New Kensington, Pa. Keep it at hand. It only costs a quarter. Obtainable everywhere. Adv.

Important to Travelers. i Never leave home on a journey or outing without a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is often needed and when that time comes is cheap at one I.undred times its cost. Obtainable everywhere. Adv.

For a Weak Stomach. "When I began taking Chamberlain's Tablets my stomach was so weak that I could not eat anything but the lightest foods. I could not

stoop or get up quickly from a sitting position, without getting very dizzy

and sick at my stomach. Chamberlain's Tablets helped me rigLt off and bv using them for a few weeks I was

cured," writes V.'illiam Sharp. West Webster, N. Y. Chamberlain's Tablets strengthen and invigorate the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. If your stomach is weak,

give them a trial. They will do you good. Obtainable everywhere. Adv. , Muscular Rheumatism.

This sometimes comes on suddenly and Is often mistaken for- a sprain. Mrs. Conrad Oliver, Little Falls, N. Y. writes: "About three years ago my husband sprained his neck. We bad a bctle of Chamberlain's- Liniment In the hou'ea and applied it. After using it a few times all lameness and stiffness of his neck and shoulders disappeared." Obtainable everywhere A -v. . .' .

first words of a Jewish prayer, "Hear, O Israel."No sooner did the Russian hear those words than he lowered his bayonet and stared at the Austrian, and recognized him as his own cousin. The rifle fell from his hands, and with a cry he sank to the ground unconscious. His Austrian cousin sat beside him

till they were both taken back to the Russian lines, where it was discovered that the gallant soldier had lost his reason as a result of the shock.

FARMERS GAIN BY STENCH.

Thar ean hm n tobareafaatewitatout fth term, the tubercle bacillus. Whether, the disease appears In the lung, la the hand, In the hips, or la the eye, it is the same germ that always cause it. - - - Looking at it from another way, - however the germ of tuberculosis can never-eauae the disease unless the sell has been prepared for It. It is as if the germ were the seed and the body were the soil. You cannot raise wheat on a hard, cobblestone pavement nor can you grow corn on a boardwalk. Neither can you grow tuberculosis from the tiny plant-like ' germ which causes the disease, on a soil which Is hard and. resistant. The tissues of the body in which the disease is to develop must first be weakened and made flabby and prepared for the growth of the disease somewhat as the farmer prepares his Boil before sowing his seed. What are the causes that prepare the soil for the growth of tuberculosis germe in the body There are first of all, a group of causes which lie within the individual himself, which we may call personal causes. Some of them may be controlled by the Individual and some of them are beyond his controL Take such causes, for example, as intemperance, lack of proper food, a weakened physical condition . caused by grippe, . colds, pneumonia, measles, typhoid fever, etc., these are some . of .-the personal causes which prepare the soil for the tuberculosis seed. -Then there is also another group of causes which are entirely outside of the individual and which we may designate ae environmental or social causes. Some of .these are, for example, bad living and working conditions, lack of play and recreation facilities, unclean streets, etc. . ; These two groups of causes may either separately or altogether, act upon one so that his normal strength and vitality, which we call resist ance. Is lowered and he readily becomes a prey td the . disease germs which are constantly lurking about and which he may be harboring in his body without knowing it. Let us consider some of these causes a little more in detail. y; . Of the personal causes that lead to tuberculosis, probably Intemper . ance may be reckoned as one of the most Important. By intemperance is meant everything: in the way of self-indulgance that injures the body. One may be intemperate In eating and by partaking of too much food may produce permanent digestive disturbance which weakens . the bodily resistance. One may be intemperate in the use of drugs or in other ways, thereby weakening the bodily resistance. The most frequent form of in- . temperance, however, is the ust of intoxicating liquors. Any man who drlnke beer, wine or whiskey to excess Is preparing the soil of his lungs for the seed of tuberculosis. This is the reason why the mortality from tuberculosis among men and women who are accustomed to drink is so high, much higher according to reliable statistics than among people who do not use intoxicating liquors. V Many children from the time they are born into the world are doomed to-starvation. Other people because they like candy, pie, and cake better than meat, bread, and vegetables, are starving themselves willfully. This underfeeding or lack of proper food will as surely prepare the soil for tuberculosis as If one deliberately set out to do so. Many people have a notion that if they have apparently recovered from a bad cold or an attack Of grippe or pneumonia, there is no further .i danger and they are perfectly safe. Oftentimes the most dangerous period "In an acute disease Is during the few weeks immediately after the patient is able to be up and about, it is during this time of convalescence that the seeds of disease will find a sure root Tfspecial care is not taken. Fresh air, good food, rest, and right living are the best safeguards against tuberculosis during a time such as this. The after-effects of many diCases can be avoided if the patient will continue to persist in taking care of himself just the same as he did when he was in the bed and under the doctor's orders. - Then there are those causes of tuberculosis which are entirely outside of the individual such as bad housing conditions.. Dark rooms where the un never shines are among the best breeding places possible for the germs of tuberculosis. Here they thrive in great quantities and it is almost imposible to dislodge them. Dark, filthy hallways, unclean sinks, and dirty backyards and toilets afe also menaces to the health of those who live near them. Many a man can improve these conditions with a little effort if he will take the time to do so. . More often, however, it is the landlord's fault-that the housing conditions are not better. Low wages, long hours of work, dark unventllated factory rooms, ex- ' cessive heat, and dusty ocupatlons are only a few of the conditions which make it easy for the seed of tuberculosis to attack the workingman. The ' lack of proper places for play and recreation, which makes a man go to the saloon at night instead of into the park or playground, is a social cause leading to tuberculosis. These social causes can be fought only by the united effort of the men and women of the community. Individuals can help but it takes all shoulders at the wheel to produce effective results. In conclusion, remember that the soil must be right before the seed of tuberculosis can grdw, and that you can -contribute much towards keeping the soil of your body in such condition that no germs will find a root there.

FRANKLIN, Ind., July 22. White river farmers in this county pay less

tax on their farm lands because of the odor arising from the Indianapolis sewage emptied into the stream. They

complained of depreciated land values

to the county board of review and the

tax rate was lowered accordingly.
