scientifically safe to say that the proc

These medicines include phenacetin

6NHERE is in Washington a woman
who, for several years, has
been quietly and unof1cially
q carrying on a great beneficial
work in behalf of prisoners and prison
reform. She is Mrs. Ella Damn Moore
and is employed in the Department of
Agriculture. The time which she gives
TO this benef1cent work is her leisure

In appearance she does not suggest
prison work. In response to the ques-
tion as to why she had taken up that
particular branch of welfare endeavor
she answered:

ice nearly all my life. and for long be-

San Quentin is one of the most pro.
Rressive penal institutions in this coun.
try, and II allows its inmates all pos
sible opportunities for self-improye-
ment. Lately, through the influence of
Mrs. Moore, the University of Califor-
MIA, about twenty miles away, has be-
come interested in the penitentiary and
has granted the men the entire aca-
demic and agricultural curriculum of
the extension division A recent out
come of this has been the forming of
the San Quentin Agricultural Club, and
the work of the club has been SO thor
ough and SO consistent as to excite the
highest praise of the faculty of the

Here is another interesting case,

Il wrote to the address given, but
my letter came back unclaimed. The
