POLICEMAN GETS EVEN
He Arrests the Man Who Ran Over
Him With an Auto.

The father of Commissioner w. L.
Porter is police judge at Manhattan
and theTby hangs a tale.
Commissioner Porter spent Christ
mas in Manhattan. Christmas night
about two o'clock the Manhattan night
policeinan-'the' night policeman is
correct-called the police judge out of
bed at two o'clock.
"A jitney driver just ran over me-"
he shouted,s land I want to know what
to do with him.
Put him in Jail and hold him."
was the reply.
Il don't want to keep him in Jail all
night" said the policeman.
Then put him under SIS cash
bond and turn him loose" said the DO
lice judge.
That was done and the trial came
off Monday. It developed at the
hearing, which was attended by about
fifty people, that after midnight, with
no one on the street, the policeman
had permitted a jitney driver to run
over him and drag him for thirty feet.
There was no other traffic and the
cars lights were going. The police
man was taken to a hospital and kept
for two hours, then returned and ar
rested the driver. The policeman tes-
titled that the car was going south
and woman passenger testified that
it was going north.
THAT trial certainly contained the
material for comic moving picture

IT SAVES MONEY
Judge Fishers Parole System
Worked Well This Year.
Applied to So PersOns-But
Three Violations Recorded.

The parole system of Judge Hugh
Fisher, of the Court of Topeka, has
saved the county $2,149 since Judge
Fishers term of office began, accord
ing to records of the Court of Topeka.
From January 10, 1915, fifty-five per-
sons have been paroled by the court.
GENERALLY these persons were under
heavy sentence. The total time not
served was 4,29S days. The cost of
keeping a prisoner by the county for
food alone is so cents a day.
But three of those paroled violated
their parole. One got drunk; one re-
turned to Shawnee county after he
was paroIed to get out and stay
away" and one violated the law by
stealing.
A large per cent of those paroIed
We're colored persons. Several were
women and a number were married
men with families to. support. OF the
three who Violated their parole one
was a white man, one colored man
and the other a colored boy.
The sentences in a large number of
these cases were higher than if the
court expected sentences to be served,
the principle being that if a man is
given a heavy sentence and either pa
rolled Immediately or after the court
feels that he has served enough time
in Jail to have the proper effect, it is
then better to have big sentence,
which, as the records show, keeps men
from committing crimes.
In many instances men are paroled
so they can take care of their fami
lies, Judge Fisher believing that they
have had their lesson and will obey
the laws. OF all the married men pa
rolled but one has violated his parole
and he has a criminal record. In one
other instance it was necessary for the
wife to notify the court that her hus-
band was not providing for his family
the way she thought he should. The
husband was called before the court
and nothing further was complained
of.
In commenting on his system today
Judge Fisher said:
1T is the belief of the court that
the public is interested in making I'M
fortunate men and women good citi-
zens, rather than keeping them con-
fined in Jail. If a married man is con-
fined in Jail his family generally suf-
fers considerably more than if he were
out, particularly when he must sup
port his family or return to Jail

DIR. WOOD is SHOCKED
He Finds Two Drug Stores Employing
Clerks Afflicted with tuberculosis.

l II was disclosed today by H. B.
Wood. city physician, that Topeka
drug clerk, afflicted with tuberculosis
dispensed drugs and soda water to all
Corners up to the time he was confined
10 his bed n week ago Also that an
other drug clerk who died of tuber-
cufosis suffered from the disease for
four vars and sold drugs and soda wa
ter to Topeka patrons of the store up
trrtii two weeks before his death
II discovered this situation too
la&s.f said DIR. Wood today. but the
very next time find an employer who
is endangering the lives of his patrons
in this manner 1 am going to make the
matter public. 1t is criminal negH-
gence on the part of the employer"
DR.. Wood asserts that every person
through the purchase of compounded
drugs and fountain drinks exposed
himself to the dread disease, con-
sumption
NO druggist or storekeeper where
drugs or foods are sold should employ
anyone unless perfectly sure he is free
of infectious disease said DR.. Wood.
Physical examination and doctors
certificate should be required
1T is dangerous for anyone suffer-
ing from tuberculosis to handle foods
or drugs And if the druggist or 9TH
er employers have such people in their
stores they may expect that the public
will soon find out the danger and
avoid such stores
lone druggist admitted that his
tubercular clerk had been to Cali
fornia for his health and had taken
other trips in the last two years and
knew he had a cough, yet he persisted
in allowing the clerk to handle medi-
cines. Medicines are supplied to cure
people of disease and not to subject
them to other diseases. 1t was the
duty of the druggist when he knew his
clerk was sick and knew how common
tuberculosis is in this citV to make
sure that his employee was not en-
dangering the lives of his patrons.
People who are sick from other cause
are particularly subject to the de-
Velopmet of infectious diseases and
they should not be endangered by
hnNing medicine infected hv germs

NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by usingv ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of DR.. Pierce, who
is head of the INvALIDS' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with a back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night } are
approaching the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
DIR. aPierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, if
you've never used the vAnuric," cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for large sample package. This
will prove to you that "Anuric" is
thirty seven times more active than
lithia in eliminating uric acid-and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your
best druggist and ask for 5O-cent box
of rAnuric." You run no risk for DR..
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his cGolden
Medical Discovery" which makes the
blood pure, his UFavorite Prescription
for weak women and his "Pleasant
Pellets" for liver ills.

TO GIVE 'EM SOME "PEP''
Southern Man Urges Compulsory Ath-
Ietics for College Professors.

New York, Dec. 29.-The National

terth annual convention at the Hotel

authorities on college sport following

In the evening the members of the
association listened to an address on
Collegiate Athletics by former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft, and then
took part IN general discussion of
topics suggested by the delegates to
the convention.
Nine colleges and organizations
were admitted to membership in the
association, among these being Yale
university, the University of Michigan
and the Oregon Agricultural college.
tive colleges to eighty-four Sixty-two
hold joint memberships and seven as
sociate memberships.
w. T. Msther, of the University of
Texas, in reading his report for ath-
letes for the Seventh district. said his
constituents recognized the fact that
meme can be an amateur unless left
private fortune"
IN view of this belief, he said it
was only logical to permit and sane
ton summer baseball. He also said
he favored compulsory athletics; even
for professors. If the instructors
were forced to take up athletics, he
said, "a number of drying bones
would cease to rattle and they might,
as a result, show signs of human in
telligence."
Dean T. F. Holgate, of Northwest
ern university, in reporting for the
Fifth district, said the baseball war
increased interest III his district,
which recently abolished summer
baseball for. nnllarians
