ing of the Jefferson County Normal
that has ever been held, was that Of
yesterday morning at the court house.
Prof Bond dealt in a scholarly man
ner with the problems which confront

les for the obstacles and the advance
ment made by the institutions in the

opinion that was the best remedy for

clad hill near by and thoroughly equip
prison by the hospital could be de-
voted to cells which would relieve the
crowded condition in the prison.
Il strongly recommend that the
Legislature be asked to appropriate
money for this purpose.
Sing Sing prison has sent to this
hospital since 1904 eight hundred and
i1tty-three tuberculosis patients, many
OF whom contracted the disease in that
prison or the disease was developed
there. The State is responsible for
this and the State in simple justice
ought to give these men chance for
their lives. l consider this matter so
important as demand constant agi-
tation until means provided Tor the
construction of suitable place for
these unfortunate men,"
Another important point covered in
Mr.. Blake's report, related to the com
msary department, which seems to be
IN bad state of Acknowledgement. On
his question the report reads:
There is considerable waste in the
commissary Department, due to the
large relations of food. Half of the
quantity of food served would be suf-
iicient The idea seems to be to give
The men poor food in excessive guam
titles.
THE method Of buying supplies
for the comm ssary department is diff
icult to understand. One butcher bid
1919 per pound on beef Shoulders and
, rival butcher bid .11.40 and the lat
ter got the order. This was on Aug
ust u, 1912. Three months later ano-
Their concern bid 1892 for the same
1uality of meat and got the order.
ITO show how poor some Of the
food is it is only necessary to say that
coffee enough to furnish 300 cups
is made of only six pounds of the bean
with an equal, or slightly increased,
amount of chicory Hot water alone
would be as wholesome and more pa,
latable Hash is made of 1,200 pounds
of potatoes and $50 pounds OF beef.
The ration is Is ounces.
IAN attempt has been made to pro-
We that the waste in the prison was
small when the number of men in the
prison was taken into consideration.
The record of the waste of five meals
was 203S pounds. Under proper
management this waste coulG have
been cut in two. The saving might
be used to advantage in improving the
quality"
In conclusion Mr.. Blake says:
''The bad business methods IN the
commissary department, as we'll as in
the, Industrial department, I believe
to- be due entirely to orders issued
by men who were Warden Kaisers
superiors. The labor of instructing
better methods has already begun.

Get Rich Quick WalIinuford.

In writing this comedy Mr. Conan
borrowed only two characters from the
ok-Wallingford, the central figure,
and Blaekie Daw, his pal. Around
these worthless, utilizing a string of
Wallingford adventures, Mr. Cohan
created 90 speaking characters and a
big mob of villagers who put speed
into the story of Wallingford's arrival
in the town of Battlesburg, and his
subsequent promotion of the covered
carpet tack, the inter-urban electric
road, real estate and other side lines
until he lands in the millionaire's
class, and through the faith and love
of an honest woman becomes an up
right, progressive and desirable citi-
zen.
The moral of Mr.. Cohan's play is
found at the close of the fourth act
when Wallingford delivers the speech,
