KISSING BARRED IN INDIANA
Hoosiers Laughing at Directions
to School Children.
Board of Health Declares Oscu1ation
Spreads Disease-Silly
Season Rules. ~

Indianapolis, Ind. Indianapolis
and Indiana generally are laughing
at and quizzing the State Board OF
Health. To block consumption, tu- J
terculosis and incipient germs Of the
white plague the board thinks that
kissing should be stopped. "a
kissing on the mouth is particu-
larly Objectionable, and in a set OF
rules for school children" the board
speaks especially of the kissing habit.
do not kiss any one on the mouth
or allow anybody to do 80 to you,"
the rules say. s..a
In the opinion of the board the,
germs of consumption may easily be
communicated in this way, and It .is5
suggested that'not only children, but
grown people, may we'll do away with
the habit Of kissing each other on the
mouth when they meet in the street
or in the home.
Among other suggestions to school
children are the following: ~
do not put your fingers in your
mouth; do not wet your fingers in
your mouth when turning the leaves
, of books; do not put pencils in your
mouth or wet them with. your 1ips.
do not hold money in your mouths
do not put pins in your mouth; do
not put anything in your mouth ex-
cept food and drink; do not swap

New York City.-Inspired by the
unexpected success of the crusade to
close the gambling-houses in Sara
toga, the anti-gambling element in
tho State mas already begun an a.
tive campaign to stop betting on ace
tracks.
The Cassidy-Lansing bill to pro-
hibit race track betting, which was
buried in committee in the last Leg
islature, will be introduced at the
next session and a determined effort
will be made to pass it, regardless of
what political party is successful at
the polls next November.
Governor Higgins is on record
against race-track betti e. At the
time the Cassidy-Lansing bill was in
troduced he gave it his Endorsement.
From a moral viewpoint" said
the Governor, rit is impossible for
me to understand how the act cf
man on one side of fence inclosing
betting ring can be legal when on
the other side Of the fence it Is
crime"
If race track patrons cannot bet on
the track they will not go to the
races. This has been. established
many times in various parts of this
country. Immense sums invested in
race tracks in New Jersey and Mis-
souri, were recently rendered profit
less by the passage of law prohibit
ing betting. New York capitalists
started running meeting up at
Salem, N. H., last month. The au-
thorities stopped the'betting feature
and the first meeting was a paralyz-
frost.
The growth of racing in this State
In the last few years has been phe-
nomenal. From 1000 to 10000 peo-
pie attend the metropolitan tracks
every racing day, a great majority Of
them paying So apiece for badge at
tho gate. On big days the attend
ance runs up to 10000 and 100000.
Within the limits of Greater New
York or on it's borders there are six
great race-tracks, representing an in
vestment of probably $6,000,000 at
conservative estimate. The other
tracks in the State are at Saratoga
and Buffalo. During the season
there are quartered around the Long
island tracks upward Of 1000 racing
horses, attended by an army of
trainers, stable hands, jockeys, rub
bers and general hangers on.
1t is the contention Of the reform
ers that the race tracks constitute
4 damaging drain, that they make
thieves and forgers and broken
hom mes-that they are, in short, an
evil demanding eradication.
The Rev. A. S. Gregg, Field Secre-
AIRY of the National Reform Bu-
reau, is at the head of the fight
against the race tracks. He is one of
:he busiest men that ever engineered
/ crusade. Ever since the opening Of
he racing season he has been at
work personally and through agents.
He appears to have limitless sums of
money and is tabulating evidence by
the bale.
He expects to show the Legislature
that betting on the race tracks is
open and fragrant, that pool-rooms
cannot be cut Oh from the news OF
:he race tracks and. that the Jockey
Jlub-indirectly but none the less
certainly-profts by race track bet
ling and could not maintain it's ex-
oensive establishments were it not
for the fact that gambling on the
race tracks is allowed.

The lap-board shown here is Of the
ordinary kind, a marginal groove
icing made in the sides. In this
marginal groove is placed a strip of
penetrable material, as felt, into
which pins can be easily stuck. The
groove and strip can extend part way
or entirely around, as convenient.
In a table it would be desirable
TO insert into all sides, while in a
lap-board the side containing the
soncave recess will generally not re-
auire the strips. Such a lap-board
would be useful in holding work
while a seam is being basted or
sewed. Even the clothes could be
held in position on the table by the
addition Of such a groove, and when
used on library tables, the strip used
Is a pin-cushion.

apparatus shown here-a pair of for
ceps so shaped as to firmly and posi-
lively grip the clothes so that they
can be handled without tearing. 1t
resembles very much a pair of scis-
sors, having two levers intermediate
ly pivoted. One end Of the levers
is shaped to form handle and the
other into spoons. These spoons are
followed out to form a recess, the
back being slotted, which reduces the
weight and also affords firm grip.

OPINION Of BREEDEN
ON WATER AT PRISON
City Can Terminate Contract
After Giving Sufficient
Notice.

Attorney-General NJ. A. Breeden has
tions an opinion as to the right that
Salt Lake City has TO shut off the
water that the State prison is securing
from the city's conduit, within sixty
days. according to the notice given by
the city about two weeks ago. The
opinion of the Attorney-General, In
brief, is that the city, according to
the terms of the contract, can termi-
nate the contract at pleasure, but that
the water cannot be shut off until the
prison authorities have an opportunity
to make other arrangements to secure
water. He is of the further opinion
that II occasion should arise, that an
injunction would lie TO prevent,
temporarily. the city from shutting off
this means Of water supply,
The Attorney General states further
that IL a proper showing can be made
that the State Board of Corrections has
no means of supplying water to the
State prison, other than through the
pipe line and conduit of the city, ex-
cept at great expense. a suit in the ma
ture of a condemnation proceeding TO
require the said city TO permit the
State prison, for reasonable consid-
Grafton, to use its pipe line and con-
dut for that purpose would be sus-
tained by the court, and pending this
character of proceeding an injunction
would probably be sustained to prevent
the city from shutting off or interfering
in any way with the use Of the said
pipe line or conduit for the supply of
water TO the said State prison.
