total making probably about twenty

PRISON SUNDAY TOMORROW.

ministers Asked to Discuss Problems
Relating to the Prevention Of
Crime, and Treatment
of the Criminal.
New York, Oct. 31.-Yesterday was
what is known as prison Sunday a
lay on which the National Prison AS.
ISOLATION asks ministers of churches
to discuss problems relating to the
prevention of crime and the treat.
ment of the criminal. The associa-
ton, which has its headquarters in
this city, is active in calling attention
to what it considers to be the prime
ipal means by which the penal sys-
TEN and it's administration may be
improved. Among the reforms it al
vocates are the following:
Punishment to begin only after COZ
viction of crime, and not immediate
ly after arrest, as the association says
is too often the case.
The administration of the prison
system to be freed entirely from pol.
itics.
The extension of work under the
probation law and the appointment
of more probation officers, especially
for the care of first offenders.
Better county jails, and the abo-
lition of the system under which the
sheriffs are paid by the day for the
keep of prisoners in their charge.
The enforcement of laws providing
for daily labor of prisoners under sen
tence, and the separation of prisoners
in county iails.
The application of the indetermin-
ate sentence to all classes of prison
ers, and the extension of the parole
system that it may apply to long
term prisoners.

Miss Alma Benny died last SatCr-
day in the west part of the city of
tuberculosis. She came here four
months ago from Streator. Illinois,
in hopes that the change would prove
beneficial, but the disease vas too
far advanced in it's ravages for the
climate to be of any benefit. She
was a young lady twenty-five years
of age and had many lovely traits of
character. Until the dread disease
fastened it's clutches she was a school
teacher. Her father, Edward Benny
arrived here one month ago and has
done every thing in his power to al
leviate her suffering and was with
her at the end. The body was sent
to Streator on the morning train and
was accompanied by the father of
the deceased.

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting 1t up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in he course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
