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.”

Married Life of Helen
_and Warren_
\ Misplaced Card Forces From Helen
a Generous But Grudging Gift.
‘ "Wilson’s in town. 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. " I thought tbi»
might do.”
“Well, it won't! look at the back j

of it. 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 h<r.
Thought you changed your mind—
had a generous spurt.”
“No—no, that card Just happened to
be laying there! 1 wrote two and for
got to tear that one up. Oh. I’m just
sick about if! That wonderful old
hunting scene—I'll never find another
like It!”
"So that’s the time you got stung?”
chuckled Warren with maddening
lack of sympathy. "You were all set j
to trot out that bunch of marbles as
something classy. Irene crabbed that
play for you! Ha, ha. that was neat!"
"If I'd only had the courage to
come right out and tell her it was a
mistake," bewailed Helen, ignoring In -
scoffing. "Hut it was all so quick, it
took me so by surprise—I couldn't
think!”
“No chance to cook up anything, ■
eh? Serves you right. That was a
bum gift you were going to palm off
—nothing but a few measly miggs on
ft string!”
Then, with a snort, as he reached
for his paper.
“I'm darned glad Irene copped that
box. You're always trying to play 1
the I>ady Bountiful and do it all pn
the cheap! But this is the time It
didn't work!”

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.
