THE MERIT
Warden Hunter Discusses Method OF
Grading Prisoners,

a
Des Moines, March 1.-THE graded
system at the Anamosa prison is pro-
nounced an unqualified success by
Warden Hunter, who spoke before the
conference of state institution superin-
tendents with the state board of con-
troll recently. He said that the work.
bines government, discipline, Kindness.
1t has worked wonders at Anamosa.
1T has reduced the necessity for the
minimum. The men take great pride
in the privileges they have. There are
three grades. The first and second es-
cape the wearing of the stripes,against
which the convict rebels always. The
first has privileges which the Second
grade has not. and the third grade has
no privileges at all. All of the mel
who are writing letters TO persons out
of the penitentiary are writing of the
new system. 1t has restored the feel.
ing OF manhood to many of them.
Whereas formerly they lived like
machines and encouraged every evil
propensity, in some cases a complete
reformation is worked.
Warden Hunters remarks were
called out by the discussion of a fine
paper read before the conference by
Superintendent Rothert, of the insti.
tuition for the deaf and dumb at Coun-
ell Bluffs. His subject was Service
and Authority in the State Institu-
nions and Their Relations He insist
ed that there should be II head to an
institution whose authority should dc
supreme. He insisted also on Kindness,

ness to bespeak appreciation. Many

DR.. Miles, Nervine.

The great danger from LaGrippe
is not SO much in the acute attack.
tho goodness knows that is bad
enough, but in the terrible after
effects which SO frequently follow it.
When the nerves have been pros
trated by the poisonous grip germs
and the whole system is in . relaxed
and congested condition, it requires
but little neglect or indiscretion to
bring on bronchitis, pneumonia or
quick consumption. And even tho the
victim be fortunate enough to es-

cations, his nervous system is almost
sure to be a wreck, and chronic disor-
Tders of one sort or another are sure
to result, and he is dragged down to a
terrible doom.

othera Beside Warden Hunter We're
called upon and did discuss the ques-
tions of 5how: best to govern employees
at the institutions, and the discussion
was fraiughtsWitfiSmueh that was valu-
able in the Way$of experience and adj
| vice.
AZ state Institution is the hardest
| kind of an Institution to manage.
Nome ofthe conditions which surround
| the employees of a factory or a big
| store, for instance, obtain. The en-
ployes are shut up in a big house, usu-
ally in the country. ord there they
move, live and have their being with
out much communion with the outside
world. It is not unusual, therefore,
that gossip attains a considerable im-
petus in one of these institutions and
the lack of loyalty often is noticeable.
If the employees and attaches of the
institution could leave it at night and
thad their own pursuits and pleasures
individually, conditions would be much
better.
All of the; superintendent insisted
that loyalty is the handspring of good
service for the state. TT an employee. is
not loyal to the Superintendent, good
service can i be expected. This sort
of thing grew up, doubtless, under the
trustee system, altho none Of the SUI
perinrendents said so, when the super
~intendent had to hire whatever IN
ployes he was directed to by politi-
clans. ~
Among those w%hospoke on the ques-
ton were superintendent Hoyt, Wit
tie, McCune, Horton and Miles and War
dens Jones and Hunter. Judge Kline
spoke for the board. He urged the
superinsendents ito a realization of the
fact that they are responsible for the
conduct of their institutions, and that
good service can only be secured from
loyal as we'll as competent assistants
and employees. He advised the imme.
diate discharge of persons who are not
giving their best service to the state.
One of the papers read before the
conference vas that by Governor Lar
rabee, written before he left the state
in which he reviewed the history and
conditions of the state institutions of
Iowa and wrote some prophetic words
lof the future. He called attention to
the fact that the state has always been
building for the present instead of the
future. This feeling prevails today.
The inquiry is as to whether or not
Cherokee is. needed, he said, when PEG.
pie seem TO forget that the state is
growing. The governor commended
the present management of the insti-
buttons and complimented the work
they are doing.
Statistician Patterson also read a pa
per before the conference on Estate
Institution Statistics"
The conference continues today. Ad-
ldresses will be heard as follows:

occasion for a general demonstration

the result OF a suggestion ~emanating
from the general headquarters of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, which
has a membership in this county of
nearly 100000. In some large public
meetings are being held, and in other
cities, sums will be appropriated di-
rect from the treasures of the hun

orally agreed to be that of his death.
But the year is northumberland it
was in 493 or 495. He died in Ulster.
The place of his birth is fixed indefi-
nitely as being in Britain" Some say
this means England, while others say
it refers to Brittany in France. His
name was originally Succuth and it was
Pope Celestine who gave him the
name of Patricius, under which he was
canonized. He began performing his
miracles at a very early age.

Boone, March ia slight rise in
the waters of the Des Moines river,
together with the ice which is break
ing up played havoc with the temporary
construction bridge at the site Of the
big bridge in course OF constrnc-
ton across the river by the Northwest
ern.
Six sections of the bridge were car.
ried away and tloated down the river
with the ice. The bridge was CON
structed on piling, which was not
driven far enough in the ground to
withstand the combined pressure Of
the water and ice. The gap made in the
bridge is about 100 feet in width, the
sections being sixteen feet each.
1t is said that one man who was EN-
ployed by the company putting in the
river piers for the big bridge narrowly
escaped being drowned.

Five Millinery Novelties.

Women are already buying hats of
white straw, lovely soft creations that
look light as thistledown. The
shapes are about what we are used to,
The Pompadour and the face hat, but
not horrible, plattery thingsthat look
as if manufactured by the thousand.
As you see, the hats are, not large.
OF course, there will be large hats,
but they are for carriage wear, garden
parties or for bridesmaids. That aow-
ers figure goes without saying.
One of the most charming face hats
is clever affair of soft, satiny bluet
braid. It seems built on Louis XII.
lines, though these are not definite.
Creamy Renaissance all-over lace is
gracefully draped over waves OF white
chiffon. Two turquoise pins hold
the front folds in place, and a bunch
of daisies rests Oh the hair at th he left
back.
The alternate rows of gray satiny
straw braid and gray chiffon ruffles
form this toppy little Pompadour,
which is finished off most effectively
up at the left front with a splendid
pink rose and liberal bunch; of soft
ly purple violets. -
Such very good style is this attrac-
tive hat of pearl gray straw, the crown
being of black straw. A black velvet
drapery rests on the rounding gray
brim, and rises in front to form wing
like loops. A plume.likeI strip OF
corded white silk is drawn through

Sanity SOUL WINNING.


The business of the Christian is to live
Christ-lke. We are "called.to be saints
like the churches at Rome and Corinth and
Ephesus, andft' seems a pity to- put Saint
before the names OF the disciples OF the
Lord. They'would seem more human, more
like flesh and blood. II they were SIMPLY
James and John, Peter and Andrew, Who
ever thinks about Peters wife and family?
1t would be more wholesome for US live
did. Ghrist's saints are simply holy men
aud women, living plain. honest human
lives in honest homes, with children aboati
them and cares and sometimes sorrows upon
them. When Jesus said to oAndrew. Come
and see," Andrew went home with Him and
saw, and began that day to live with Jesus
and to hive like Him. The next day he found
Simon and brought him there. Andrew was
the first Christian. not Peter. The church
wants Andrews more than Saint Andrews.
That kind OF man and living saint will bring
men to Jesus. He that winneth souls Is
WISE 1t requires the highest kind OF wisdom
to be O successful soul winner. The plain
Andrews will do 1t. It has been said That
