SAVES THE CONVICT.

Topeka has an institution or rather
society, that Is engaged In great
work and which is now reaching ma
tional proportions in its influence. yet
little has been said or printed here
about this organization lately. 1t is
the Society for the Friendless. organ
ICED by Edward A. Fredenhagen at
Topeka In 1899, and has for its object
the redemption of the convict, both
In and out of prison. From a small
beginning 1t has now grown to a large
and important organization, embrace
ing three states in its direct work and
nine others indirectly through its
prison leagues OF Christian .Endeavor.
A reporter visited Mr.. Fredenhagen
at his offices on West Fifth street and
secured from him a statement of re-
cent results In his work as handled by
the Topeka ONCE and home. The fol-
lowing are few cases handled the
past month that are OF particular in
terest:
A man so years old who had served
nine terms in prison for various
crimes, was converted a short time
ago through the efforts of the society.
Three weeks ago he was found en-
ployment in the service of Christian
man and is now giving satisfaction by
faithful attendance at his work.
The society now has on hand a
man about SO years old who had spent
his early life as race track follower
and later was a gambler and drifted
into crime and was sent to prison. The
society received him from the peni-
tentiary a short time ago and he is
now leading an honest. upright life
and has won the highest commenda-
tions of the superintendent.

That mention that | have acquired
new and great privileges by grace OF
my age IL not an uncalculated remark.
When ! hassed the seventieth mile
stone. ten months ago. instantly real
lied thar | had entered a new country
and new atmosphere. To all the pub
lie | WAS become recognizably old. un-
deniably old. and from that moment
everybody assumed Il new attitude to-
ward me-the reverent attitude grant
ed by custom TO age-and straightway
the stream OF generous new privileges
began TO flow in upon me and refresh
my life. Since then ! have lived an
ideal existence; and | now believe
what Choate said last March. and
which at that time didn't credit: that
the best OF life begins at seventy; for
then yoar work is done: you know that
you have done your best. let the quail
ity OF the work be what 1t may: that
you have earned your holiday-a holi-
day OF peace and contentment-and
that henceforth. TO the setting OF your
sun. nothing will break II. nothing in
terrupt it.-Mark Twain's Autobiog-

Fred Brendel. engineer Of the Com

electric lighting plant. which he has
installed In the yard back of his resi-
dence on Union boulevard.
With his homemade electric light
ing plant he is able to illuminate his
home and that of tenant and furnish
enough power to run sewing ma
chine and other small household ma
chimes. do the family ironing, run elec-
tric fans and proposes in the near fu-
ture to be able to COOK.
Mr., Brendel's plant Is In power

the evenings and Sundays this fall.
In the house is a four-horse power
engine and generator, with the neces'
sarv rheostats, and volt and ampere
meters. The engine is run by gasoline
and ia managed by Mrs. Brendel, who
has been appointed chief engineer
while Mrs. Louis Daniels, who occu'
pies the upper part OF his residence'
is assistant engineer.
The plant cost about $4Oo to CON

house is about ten cents a night tor

CAUSING DISEASE.
Unhealthy Conditions Which Make
Pouitry-keepins Improbable.

Diseases like roup. chickenpoX and
cankered mouth result from filth, lice
and bad grain diet. These diseases
are met with everywhere throughout
the whole country. Roup Is cold
developed into a chronic state and
affects chicks worse from l6 weeks
to six months old. The best preventive
Is a system OF exercise. with houses
free from draft and dampness and
free from lice. combined with a va
riety OF food. Plenty OF charcoal put
into the ground food and also in n
place where they will have access to
1t. will prevent chickenpox or dry
roup. as II Is sometimes called. It
will also prevent cankers from form
Ing In the membrane of the mouth.
Charcoal absorbs the poisous that
cause cheesy matter to form in the
mouth. In winter more than i5 per
cent. OF the diseases among poultry
are caused by the presence of lice,
lack OF exercise. and over-feeding OF
the poultry, and also a lack of shelter.
Dampness and drafts are common
causes of diseases. find. says writ
er in Farmers Review. that all kinds
OF poultry are subjected to these dis.
eases. whether 1t be the pure breeds
or mongrels. There Is no kind OF
feeding that will prevent diseases.
The feeding should be plentiful
enough SO that all the fowls may go 10
roost with full crop of grass and
grain. The best balanced rations have
proved most effective. and If lice are
kept away this will be a strong factor
In keeping the poultry healthy.

POULTRY NOTES.

Give one feed of good sound grain
daily.
Old plaster furnishes good lime ma
terial.
When chick frequently picks itself
1t is lousy.
Late hatched pullets will rarely lay
before spring.
Put few rusty iron nails in the
drinking water.
Breeding geese should be kept
rather thin in flesh.
The best layers are generally In
different table fowls.
Crusts of bread wet with warm new
milk are unsurpassed for feeding young
chickens.
Giving meat as a stimulant and
changing the food will keep hens in a
laying condition.
Geese begin to lay early in March
and will lay from IA to IS eggs; II
the goose does not show signs Of be-
coming broody, set under hens.
Dry ashes and lime sprinkled plenti.
fully under roosting perches daily is
highly recommended as deodorizer
and preserves and increases the value
of manure.
