3.000 Eligible for Parole. Says Prison Workers Society Declares Failure to Release Men Costing the Government $100,000 Annually. Washington, March 3.—Three thou sand federal prisoners, confined in government and stale penitentiaries of the United {■dates, are eligible for parole, E. K. Dudding, president of the Prisoners’ Belief society, an nounces. The condition is unprecedented. Three years ago the number was less than 5U0, according tu Dudding, who declared failure to parole these men is costing the government $100,000 an nually and depriving the families of the prisoners of their support. While not disputing Pudding's fig ures, the attorney general's office, llnal authority ou approval of paroles, pointed out that the number of eligi bles is ever changing. Officials said It would be impossible to fix an ac „ curate figure. Federal prisoners sentenced to terms of more than one year, are eligible to parole, following service of one third of their time. Their parole ap plications must have the approval of the federal board of parole and sanc tion of the attorney general’s office. Among those whose paroles have leeu refused by the government is {•’amuel Moore, a negro, said to be tho oldest federal prisoner In point of time spent behind the bars, in tho United States. Moore has served 33 years of a 99 year sentence for murder. He is con fined in Atlanta penitentiary. Moore got a year in jail for slashing a neg i ess with a penknife when he was 17 years old. While serving his time in the Dis trict of Columbia., Moore killed a fel lowprlsoner with a shovel. He claimed he acted In self-defense, but the federal court found him guilty of murder in the first degree, and he went up for life. The negro was in me ueiaware state prison and later at Albany, N. Y., and when the Atlanta federal prison was opened he was taken there. Dudding, with other prison relief workers, has Interested himself In Moore’s ease because, although ap proved for parole by the par<>le»hoard, lie was refused release by higher au thorities on the grounds of mental In stability. Pressure will be brought to bear on the government, according to Dud ding, in an effort to obtain mofe prompt action on the many prisoners eligible to pifbole, as well as favorable action on the Moore case. "After a prisoner has served the tlrpe required for parole eligibility be •hould be given a. new chance In life, provided hi* prison conduct has been •atisfactory," Dudding declared. • “ "Dr. Votaw’s conduct of prison af fairs has been satisfactory, and there is little criticism to make of the con duct of federal prisons, but there should be more efficient action on pa loles.” — -- e Bill Would Provide Farm for Retired Farm Horses Chicago, March 3.—What Senator Vest was to dogdom, Alderman John S.

Blew into tht office tills morning.” Warren scowled at his tapioca pudding. "Any cream I for this?" "Is Irene with him?" Helen touched j the bell. "Where're they stopping?" At her mother's. He said they might drop in tonight." "Tonighti Anna, you forgot the cream. Oh, dear, why didn't you tell ! me?” “What for? Don't have to doll up j for them, do you?” “No, but I—oh, I promised to bring her something from Europe.” jrnr I riedly. "I'll have to look up some thing now." "No, you don't!” as she started from the table. "You finish your dln | ner. Got plenty of time—they won't ! come before 8." "I don't want .any desSert, Dear, what will I give her?” “Huh, you buy a lot of junk over thero for presents, then when you get it home—like pulling your back teeth to give any of it away!” "It makes me wild! Everybody Ex pects me to bring them something.” “Give her one of those old snuff boxes,” smothering his pudding with cream. '“You’ve got a dozen sittin’ around littering up the place.” "A snuff box? Why you don't know what they're worth! I saw one in an antique shop on Madison avenue marked $45. Almost exactly like the one I keep on the desk for stamps.” "Huh, any sucker who'd cough up $45 for that needs a guardian.” “Dear, that's a collector's piece! That old hunting scene on the top is very rare. Tell her I don’t want any coffee. I'll have to look up something for Irene.” Ignoring Warren's grumbling pro test, Helen left him to finish his des sert and have his coffee alone. In her own room she got down from the top closet shelf a box of un wanted Christmas gifts destined to be passed on. A hideous bright blue boudoir cap from Warren’s Aunt Amelia, a pink j satin handkerchief case, a crocheted hairpin holder and other cluttering I dust collectors. Cut none of these would do for j irenc, who always expected some "an | tique treasure” from Europe. Grudgingly Helen got down another box—an old mahogany bog lined with antiques bought mostly at the London Hag Market. Every Friday they were in London she would take No. 14 Hus from Pica diliy to the Caledonian Market, where ' itII the small antique and second hand dealers bring thpir wares. In this famous "Thieves' ” or "Hag” Market, one can buy everything from old ivory to old shoes. Gloatingly Helen would wander | from one stall to another picking up bits of old jewelry, snff boxes, cameos, ! most of which sho intended for "pres ents.” But these antiques, bought for a song in this London market, seemed priceless when sho got them home, and always she was loath to part J with them. Appraisingly she held up an old hair bracelet. Irene would love that. But no, that curious enameled clasp —she could not give that away. A < coral pin—but the. old setting was ex quisite. An ivory needle case yellow ed with age, those quaint old shoe buckles—she could not part with any of them. That mosaic pin? They were very common. But was it good enough? AVhy had she brought it? It was [ neither okl nor rare. But often she ljought some tritie to feel, more free to bargain for something sho really wanted. Taking the pin in to AA'arren, she J drew down his barricading paper. “Hear, do you think this is good ■ enough?” hopefully. "Eh? Looks like it came from the j 10-oent store. Now see here, if you ( give Irene anything—for Heaven's 1 sake give her something good.” “f>ho never gives me anything good,” recentfully.

Nothing bht a cheap brass pin.” Again at her box of treasures, with much reluctance Helen finally decided on some Cornelian beads Keal Cornelians—but only a broken strand. A short old-fashioned necklace, one | end of the clasp and part of the heads were gone. Ridiculously cheap, I she had bought them hoping to find I more or to mix with other beads. Now came a brilliant, idea. She would string them on floss with knots between. A flurried search through her work basket yielded a skein of old-rose silk that blended with the shaded Cornelians. Would she have time to string them? Hastily she doubled the floss, j made a knot before and after each bead, stringing them about two1 inches apart. On their next trip to London she would scour the Rag Mark* t for broken strands of amber, Cornelians, j and coral. Strung in tills amplified j way they would make cheap and ideal presents. “Look like marbles,” was Warren’s grunted comment, when the chain j was dangled before him for his ap proval. "Kind I used to play 'Snitches' with.” "They're Cornelians! Aren't they attractive?” Elated over her ingenuity’, Helen wrapped them In tissue paper, gift fashion, and sat down at the desk, to write a card. "For Irene—a bit of Old London. A blot marring the card sho wrote another, more pretentions: "For Irene—a bit of old London from my favorite antique shf/p." This was true, she solaced her con i science. The dusty rubbish-jumbled stalls of the Rag Market were her j favorite shops. "There's the bell! Dear, you let j them in. Anna's gone out.” Snatching up the card ami package, Helen darted back to her own room, i Intent on getting the beads strung, she had not stopped to dress. Now 1 slipping on another gown, she hur ried in to meet Warren's cousins. "We can stay only a few minutes, Wilson's dead tired and I promised mother we'd bo back early—but I just had to see you," effused Irene. “How long will you be in town? Do have this chair." "All next week. Oh, we ll see you again, of course. It seems ages since I've been here. Not since you got back from Kurctpc.” A few moments general all-about the family gossip, ami Irene handed Helen the small package she had kept in her hand. "Here's| something I brought you. Mrs. Merritt, you remember her, has started the dearest little gift shop— the most attractive things." Opening the pink-stringed package, Helen took out a typical gift shop In unity. A crocheted doll that proved to be a disguised box of talcum pow der. A painted bead with a crocheted hat fitted over the perforated top, while a full skirt 'modestly concealed the lower extremity of the box. "That is attractive!" Helen always gushed when forced to lie. "Yes, all her things are so dainty. But I'm crazy to wee some of the things you got in Europe. Y'ou al ways pick up such interesting an tiques—and over there you get them so cheap.” “Not as cheap as you used to! And by the time you pay duty—” “Yes, 1 know, hut still it's nothing compared to what you pay here. You remember that old vinaigrette you pave me? I can't tell you how much it's been admired.” “I brought you something this yeir I hope you'll like as well. I—" "Oh. Helen, you dear. This wonder ful old snuff box! I'd rather have it than anything,” Paralyzed, Helen stared In helpless silence. Irene, sitting by the dwk, had sud denly caught up the precious box on which lay the discarded blotted card: "For Irene—a bit of old London.” In her haste to get to her room when the liell rang, Helen had darted off with no thought of this card, which, had happened to fall on the snuff box. "Oh, I—I—that's our stamp box,” stammered Helen. “I forgot—” "Yes, here's some stamps," Irene took them out. “I'll prize It all the more because you’ve used it. This quaint old hunting scene!” gloating over the age ilarkened painting on the snuff box cover* Helen swallowed hard. Stupified by the unexpected, her usually Inventive mind could think of no way to re trieve her treasure. After Irene's rap.sodies over the snuff box. how could she bluntly take •It back and give her a few Cornelian j beads sparsely strung? | “Yes. that's great," approved Wil lson. ".Mighty nice of you, Helen. ! Irene's dippy about ttiose old things." | "I'm glad she likes It," murmured Helen with an effort. The conversation drifted from an tiques to the new six-cylinder car Wilson had just bought. As Irene lauded its luxurious appointments, Helen, silently unresponsive, was con sumed with resentment at the loss of her snuff box. It was barely 9 when Irene rose to Bo. "We motored all the way in —these long drives always tire Wilson. Aral the roads were awful! Yes, we'll Bure ly see you again. A thousand thanks ffor the snuff box." The moment they were gone, Hel en's smoldering agitation flamed out. "Eh? How’s that?” Warren was lighting his pipe. "Why L thought you intended to give It to hady Bountiful and do it all pn the cheap! But this is the time It didn't work!” (Copyright. 1»:: > Next week—Helen's Irresponsible Admirer. k - V The Finest Stock Evergreens, Shrubs, Fruit and Shade Trees, Small Fruits, , Perennials and Bulbs GATE CITY NURSERY 2403 North 52d Street WA Inut 294S Three Block* South of Krug Park How Large a Laundry Would It Require? To Wash Everybody's Clothes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday We are carrying a peak-load on these days now and are remodeling our place and in stalling more modem machinery. Why not send your laundry to us on Thursday or Fri day? It will give us more time and please you better. HArney 0784 USE BEE WANT ADS—THEY BRING RESULT ' Drawn from actual X-ray photo graph of the human colon, or "large intestine” ' * » “It can do more than anything else to lengthen human life—” Experimental work of the last few years has given mankind a new insight into the mystery of disease and decay WE have long thought that the body grew old naturally and that disease was inevitable. Now one of the world's leading scientists announces that the body should live forever—if it could be perfectly nourished, and kept absolutely free from poisons. Wc have made tremendous progress in choosing foods that give us proper nourishment, but until recently wc knew comparatively little about the poisons which collect in the system. Every day the body, like any other machine, throws off a great quantity of waste. l^ost of it drains into the colon, or large intestine. If tt stays there long, it generates deadly poisons which soak through into the blood and flood the whole system. It is these poisons which age and weaken us—and then disease begins. That is why constipation is the greatest constant enemy of mankind today. Nature's way to remove these poisons The colon is a hollow tube about four feet long, equipped with rings of muscle like a set of damps. By contracting one after another, these muscles force the contents of the tube along and out of your system. Now nature intended us to eat coarse, raw foods which would give these rings of muscle real work to do, and strengthen them by vigorous exercise. But modem civilization demands a more delicate, con centrated diet—and as a result, the muscles get weak and flabby—just like the muscles'of your arm with out exercise. That is why constipation is so prevalent today. Why drugs and purgatives make matters worse Drugs and cathartics will malt* the muscles contract, it is true, but they do it by nervous irritation. That is not exercise. Each time it happens, it leaves the muscles weaker than before. The only way to relieve constipation perma nently is by exercising these muscles as nature intended. Everywhere physidansnndliospitalsare prescribing Fleischmann's YeaH today—not as a medicine, but as a fresh corrective food which gives the intestinal muscles regular, natural exercise. Every cake of Fleischmann’s Yeast consists of millions of tiny living plants, which mix with the waste products in the colon, softening them and in creasing the bulk of the waste. This greater bulk gently encourages the muscles to act, and at the same time strengthens them by offering just the resist ance they need. Your own physician will heartily endorse this prin ciple of regularly exercising the intestinal muscles as the only way to relieve constipation and all its evils. Be sure you get Fleischmann’s Yeast—yeast in its natural fresh form. Recent experiments have shown that yeast corrects constipation only when its cells Day by day Fleischmann’s Yeast builds up the jlabby muscles of the intestines—exactly as tegular exercise builds up the muscles of your arm i " ... ' —-- ’■ .^ ~ are alive and active, and that it loses its laxative effect when these cells are "killed’’ and "dried.” Fieischmann’s Yeast is in no sense a purgative and does not produce immediate violent action. It is —, a nourishing food—not an indigestible medicine—and ^ like any other food, it must be eaten regularly to secure results. £af at least 2 or 3 cakes a day—plain or dis solved in water, milk or fruit juices—preferably half an hour before a meal, or the last thing at night. If you*eat it plain, follow with a glass of water. Get several cakes at a time—they will keep in a cool, dry place for several days. Be sure you get Fleischmar.n's Yeast. All grocers have it. Appetite and energy restored— Yeast is the richest known source of Vitamin-B, on which health and vigor so Jargely depend — it is inexpensive and easily available. Men and women troubled with loss of appetite and energy, or faulty dige'-tion, have found that these troubles disappear when they eat Flcisehniann’s Yeast regularly Skin and complexion cleared— Skin troubles are often danger flags of lowered vitality—generally associated with constipation. Fleischmann’s Yeast is now established as a food which corrects the basic cause of many disorders of the skin, by increasing the number of white A corpuscles in the blood and keeping stomach and intestines in a natural, healthy state.
