PRISON POPULATION.

The prison population of the Unit
ed States, according to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, was
1859 on the first day of January,
1910, and the number of commitments
to prisons or other penal institutions
during the year 1910 was 479,I63,
These figures include every class OF
offense, from vagrancy TO murder IN
the first degree.
The ratio of prisoners to popula'
ton on Jan. /, 1910, was 125 TO 100.
900, and the ratio of commitments to
population during the year 1910 was
500 to 100000. Thus it appears that
at the beginning of the year 1910,
one person out of every 800 in the
United States greeted the New Year
in prison or Jail, and that during the
year 1910 for every 100 persons IN
the total population there was one
commitment to prison or Jail for a
longer or shorter period, ranging from
one day to life sentence.
The table by states brings out the
fact that the number of prisoners in
proportion to population was smallest
in South Dakota-4S per 100000 pop
ulation-and largest in Neyada-35S
per 100000 population. In Illinois
there were 80 prisoners per 100000
population. The number of commit
ments in proportion to poulation was
smallest in North Carolina-123 per
100000 population-and largest in
Arizona-2,992 per 100000 population.
In Illinois there were 496 per 1OO,-
600 population. 1t by no means fol-
lows, however, that the population OF
either Arizona or Nevada is wicked
or criminal beyOund that of all other
states, or that the population OF eth
err South Dakota or North Carolina is
pre-eminently good, or any more law
abiding than that in states where the
ratios are higher.
The number of commitments to jail
or prison is determined in no small
degree by the statutes and the prac-
tice of the courts relative to the pun
lshment of minor Offenses. Ofenscs
which in some states would be pun.
lshed by a few days in jail, may, in
other states, be punished by fine.
The figures are also affected by the
degree of vigilance which the police
and the courts exercise in arresting
and furnishing lawbreakers. Again,
there are more laws to break in some
communities than in others. This is
generally the case in urban as com
pared with rural communities, since
many local ordinances are found in
force in cities which are inapplicable
Or unknown in country districts.

USE OF THE REVOLVING FAN
Investigation Shows These Appliances
Enormously Increase Bacterial
Content of Air.

That the use of revolving fans enor-
mously increases the lumber of bac.
terra in the air (though Shy what
means we are not told is shown by
recent tests in France, according to
the Hospital London). Says this pa
per:
The use of ventilators with reyolv.
ing fans has become very common in
large public buildings. especially res
talrants and shops. In most cases
these ventilators communicate with
the outside. and they are installed. OF
course, with the idea of ventilating
and purifying the air within by in
creasing the rate of exchange with the
external atmosphere. But revolving
fans are also frequently used, espe.
cially in hot weather, simply to pro
duce a cooling effect by setting up a
current of air inside. Drs. A. Sartory
and A. filassier have examined the
meteorological effect of these fans and
ventilators upon the atmosphere with
in, and have communicated their re.
suits to a recent meeting of the So
ciete de Biologie. They find that
these appliances enormously increase
the bacterial content of the air. Their
experiments were numerous and va.
ried, but it will suffice to refer to one
or two. Thus in a restaurant of 400
cubic meters analysis of the air before
the fan was working showed l2.50O
bacteria per cubic meter; after work
ing the fan for one hour $4,000 bac-
terra. and after two hours. $4,000 bac-
terra. In another cafe Of 600 cubic
meters the number of bacteria rose
from $4,000 to $4,000 after the fan
was working for one hour. In every
instance in fact, the number of bac-
terra per cubic meter was doubled, or
even quadrupled AS the authors
point out, with these facts such ap'
pliances cannot but be regarded as
dangerous and detrimental to the pub.

ARE YOU A MAN OR A wEAkLlNe

The following New Year Sermon
from the Ottumwa Courier contains
much food for thought and reflection:
Have you the moral courage to do
what you know you ought to do, or
are you a human weakling who Is
always doing what you know you
ought NOT do?
DO you decide things for yourself,
or do you just blindly do anything
that some one stronger than you
suggests?
IF you are one of the so-called
men who takes a drink for no other
reason than just because some fellow
happened along with a bottle and OF,
fered it TO you, then you are not
strong enough to be left alone.
Are you one of those spineless
creatures who buy every gold brick
that is offered to you?
IF you take the money that you
are working for and do not figure
how you can get the most OF what
you need for it, then you would make
a failure of the best business in the
city If it were given to you.
you rob yourself more often than
you are robbed by anyone else.
you don't need mOney-you need
a guardian-your weeks wages does
not do you any good-the more you
get the bigger sucker you are. The
wolves all see you coming.
It's your fault, too. There are
others working with you every day
who save some money, dress neater,
look better, and are better workmen
and better citizens than you are.
why Is it?
Just simply because they try and
you don't. You tell yourself that you
are trying and you know you are not.
You not only rob yourself, but you lie
to yourself. You haven't any enc
mics but yourself. The only time
anyone thinks about you is when
they feel sorry for you because you
won't. help yourself You sit around
and tell yourself that everything is
going wrong with you, and try TO
make yourself believe that you are
getting the worst of it, The only
