No NightgOwns.

Each inmate of Bedford Reformatory
for Women gets three-tenths OF an
egg. two-thirds of an ounce of butter

last two and half years, told the spe-
cia investigating committee or the
State Board of Charities yesterday.

llcb5erd. secretary of the state Board
Of Charities, her testimony brought out
the facts that the food was not what
IT. ought Co Doe. al least in quantity,
that some OF the inmates had insult
Client clothing for the cold weather and
shoes that were badly worn. and that
some oi them had 20 sleep 10 the
clothes they wore during the day, be
cause of the states neglect TO furnish
au adequate number of nightgowns.
Miss Spraguc testified that these con-
dItious we're unavoidable because the
state did not appropriate sufficient
money TO overcome them. She read
from her records the estimates made
of money needed for the varied uses of
the institution and the appropriations
asked for the first quarter year Of
1915, and showed that they had al. been
materially reduced by the state fiscal
agent The supply Of clothing asked
had been cut one-third. the fuel and
light estimate had been similarly re-
