Mr.. Joyce suggests a better land

an appropriation devoted to the lat

RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY
COLORADO BOARD OF PARDONS

Denver Dec. 9.--The report of C. l..
Stonaker of the Board of Pardons pays
considerable attention to the indeter-
inmate sentence law, and makes rec
concentrations that tie time limit in
certain cases between the minimum
and maximum period should be in
creased For The ciims os larceny and
burglary and larceny, such offenders
usually being habitual criminals. the
report suggests the period of parole to
be at least one year or longer. 1t says
the parole law is particularly appli-
cable to such cases and urges the eX-
tension of the time to a year. Mr..
Stonaker pays his respects to the
courts in this way:
IF the judges pronouncing sentences
were to observe more carefully the
spirit of the indeterminate sentence
and parole law, and if they would oc-
casionally visit the prison and confer
with the officials regarding the effects
of the sentences they impose, there
would be no reasonable ground for SO
many appeals for executive clemency,
for appeals will continue so long as
unfair, improper and ill-advised SEN
tences are pronounced
He further declares that menace
to good prison discipline is caused by
the lack of proper time limit between
the minimum and maximum period,
saying the short time between these
two terms does not make a strong in
centive for good prison conduct, for
the prisoner knows that the final dis
charge must soon follow.
The report says that the average

term OF Imprisonment for prisoners
under life sentence in this state is six
and ten-elevenths years, and that few
life-termers have served over a twen-
ty-year term, counting time allow
ances.
The board began the biennial period
with an appropriation of 500, and re-
turns balance of $60.65. In the two
years $50 cases were considered, twen-
ty-fiye pardons recommended and for
ty-four were recommended for commu'
tation of sentence. Clemency was re-
fused in 1856 cases. Parole was recon-
mended in $50 cases and refused in
1876.
Twenty-three persons were pardoned'
in the two years, including one life
termer for murder and three for as

Of 273 prisoners. Of these 1913 have
reported regularly, 105 have earned

five have been pardoned after serving
part of their time of parole.
"Of the paroled prisoners, one who

that seventy-five per cent. of the per-

Professor Sanford and Orchestra to Play a Remarkably Brilliant Pro- gramme.
 The concert tonight q the Hyperion

 is to commence at SIS. MT. Kelley has
 announced that he will begin the sym

 desired that the audience will be seated

 phony of Beethoven is full of the most subtle beauty, the loveliest light and shade, and no more fitting work could have been selected with which to open an altogether unusual and remarkab bIy fine programme The symphony will be followed by the Rubenstein concerto in D minor, with Professor Sanford as soloist. Mendelssohns beautiful scher- 20 from his "A Midsummer Nights Dream music, proceeds the final num- Der on the programme, the Liszt con- certo in E fiat major, which brilliant work Professor Sanford has consented to play in addition. A more delightful treat to lovers of piano music 1t would be difficult to imagine. The orchestra under MT Kelley's conductorship con- tinues to do splendid work, far and away the best work in its history.

WIPES INGENUITY
Saves Her Husband,

The author of the Degeneration of Dorothy" MT. Franklin Kinsella, 22f W. 25th St, New York City, was the victim of a little by-play--but he can best tell the story himself q must confess that I have been the victim of an innocent deception which turned out all for the best, however.
 I had been resting under the belief, for some years, that coffee served as a lubricant to my cerebral convolutions, in other words made the wheels go round,' and I had an idea that I could not work without it as stimulant.
 I soon paid the penalty in nervous ness, loss of flesh, insomnia and rest lessness. none of which troubles would yield to any or all medicines. finally got in rather a bad way and my wife took hand in the affair all unknown to me. She purchased a package of Postum Coffee and first gave me one half Postum and one half coffee. In a little time she had me down to clear Postum, and I was none the wiser.
 I noticed that I was getting better, my nerves were steadier, and I began to gain flesh and sleep nights. My work was performed far better than in my old condition.
 Commenting upon my greatly i'm proved health one morning I was told the truth. Iris to laugh so I submit ted gracefully and joined the Postum ranks.
 Experience teaches that boiling is one half the game. When the directions are carried out the result will be as fine a cup of rich. fragrant coffee as ever delighted the senses without ruin ing the nerves"
