GAME FOR
INDIANS TO-DAY

The first real game of the season
for the Indians will be played to-
day when the Washington state col
lege team will try conclusions with
Manager Browns recruits. Brown
is not going to break any arms
throwing the ball around the lot but
has given instructions for his tribe
to keep an eye on the ball and hit
it out at every opportunity.
The training season is nearing a
close and the Indians from now on
will play exhibition games almost
every day. The practice work has
been vigorous and there has been
little fooling when the men had on
their fighting clothes. Friday the
team plays the University of Idaho
team. In the game today Brown
will give practically every man on
the squad outside of the pitchers a
chance to get busy.

FORT MADISON Ia April l..


Warden J. c. Sanders of the
: states prison here, former base
ball umpire, former school
teacher, former band leader, will
stand one test of greatness. He
has enough enemies and friends to
be divided into two differnt camps,
one of them after the warden's
scalp and the other bent on contin-
uing him in Office for his reforms.
Warden Sanders has gone
~ farther in prison reforms than any
cAer prison reformer in the last
century.
He has abolished stripes as a
badge Of the convict in his prison;
now his prisoners wear a checked
suit, or gray clothing, similar to a
mail carriers.
He has formed glee club and
trained an orchestra from among
his prisoners, and gives them a
lecture course of five numbers dur
ing the winter, in the prison
chapel.
He leaves 60 of his $50 cell
doors unlocked every night, allow
ing trusted prisoners to roam the
corridors. He allows TRUSTEES to
make trips unguarded through the
town and into a neighboring state.
He has made a convict clerk and

Sanders has given prisoners the
privilege OF wearing boiled"
shirts and white collars on Sun
days and holidays.

and allows baseball and basket
ball practice every noon after din
ner.
A trained orchestra plays for
the prisoners at meals.
Flowers are cultivated in the
prison yard every spring to en-
nance the prisoners sense of
beauty.
The solitary" cell as punish
ment has been abolished.
More prisoners are In the night
school than any other institution
of the sort in the world, with 200
of the $50 men studying. One man.
In the prison is studying Spanish,
and two men are graduate doctors
Of optometry.
The warden has put prisoners
ION their honor" not to escape,
and but two have got away since
last April.
Why?
1t doesn't take the reforming
warden much time to answer that
question.
"The old idea that a prisoner is
sent here to punish him is as false
as Judas. He is sent here. pri-

'We get here the victims of the
abuses of society. The society that
allows men to guzzle booze and
smoke opium Is responsible for the
men who commit crimes. We get
the man who does the murder, but
how about the bartender who sells
him the booze that melted that
murder. and the legislator who al
lows the bartender to sell him that
booze? I'd like a crack at some
of them"

FOUL BREATH
Made Pure and Sweet BY the Use of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

Do not go among your friends with a
breath so odious as to make your pres
ence distasteful Foul breath is capable
of easy removal If you will take a little
time to overcome it. Generally foul
breath comes from one of two causes, inn
pure gases or foul digestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent of
foul gases known. 1t positively attracts
poisons and neutralizes their evil effects.
noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to kill three men and
with a teaspoonful of charcoal removed
the bad effects of this terribly swift poi
son.
A little charcoal in bed room or cellar
will make foul air pure. Pure willow
5charcoal mixed with honey are the COM
ponent parts of Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
ges and pure breath is the result of their
use after meals. Simply dissolve two or
three after meals and at bed time and
foul breath fees at once. No matter how
you cause these gases, whether by bad
food, alcohol or abuse of the stomach,
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges will stop gas
making and sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating of a box would cause you no in
convenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong and
pure and most people will not take it
unless made palatable. Stuart's inimitable
process presents charcoal to the taste and
system In all the nicely desired.
Choice virgin willow Is burnt into de-
sirable charcoal this is mixed with pure
honey and the combination is compressed
under tremendous power into a lozenge
of great pleasantness and efficiency.

pie cross the street to avoid you; go to
the nearest drug store and buy box of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges today and eat
what you will. Two or three after the
meal will sweeten your breath at once.
