MANY SAVED BY
PROBATION SYSTEM
List of Prisoners Paroled in New York
Reaches Total of 1902
Few Disappear.

NEW YORK, April II. - The extent
or scope Of probation work in this
state Is rapidly broadening, according
to the ninth annual report of the state
probation commission, Just submitted
to the legislature.
Both the children S courts and the
adult criminal courts placed more per-
sons on probation last year than ever
before. the report says; more money
was collected by probation officers from
men ON probation and paid over to wives
and children and more salaried proba-
tion officers were under employment.
At the end Of the year II ,907 persons
were on probation in the state, 3,025
being children, 1867 men and 9l5
women. This is an increase of about
1000 over the number the year before
Salaried probation officers were in
creased from l64 to 175, and 236 voluu-
tcer workers were employed by the
courts during all or part of the year.
Probation officers made 6,S43 inves-
LEGATIONS of court cases before sentences
were imposed. Home visits totaling
1896 were made to persons under care
OF probation officers. The sum of $149,-
4J3 was collected by probation officers,
Of which $l02 ,9SS came from s0-ealled
domestic relations cases.
OF those who finished their terms on
probation 1873 per cent were discharged,
I2.4 per cent were rearrested and com
mitted to prison and Al per cent dis
appeared.
The commission recommends that
every city of 10000 or more should en-
ploy a salaried probation officer and
that every county in the state have
county probation officers. 1t is advised
that both male and female probation of
ficers be employed wherever possible,
with sufficient travelling expenses to
cover thoroughly their territories.

NEW YORK, April 11.-From a ma
tional defence standpoint training in
rifle practice of the unorganized mil
tia is of as vital Importance to the
country as the training of the regular
army and the organized militia, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the

ton of rife clubs throughout the coun-
try is urged.
The United States government has

mately 100000 magazine rifles, model
1908, and 3O,00O,OOO ball cartridges.
The Government viii issue these rifles
and the ammunition free, the state
ment says, to organize rifle clubs af-
fliated with the National Rifle Asso-
citation of America for use of mem
bers at small arms practice.
Ten or more citizens of the United
States in any town or county, near

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0lS0NS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid-
die, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its spongc-iike pores from clog
glng with indigcstible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician.
If you get headaches, il 5 your liver.
u you catch cold easily, il s your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste, fur
fed tongue, nasty breath or stom-
ach becomes rancid, it S your liver.
Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery
eyes, all denote liver uucleanliuess.
Your liver is the most important, also
the most abused and neglected organ
Of the body. Few know its function on
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks re-
S e to violent calomel. which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
cen only be used occasionally because
il accumulates i'm the tissues also at
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick on
well, should drink each morning before
breakfast, glass Of hot water with q
teaspOontul OF limestone phosphate in
it, to wash from the liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible materi-
al, the poisous. sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not saliyate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, ano

RABBIT AN INCENDIARY.
Fur Ablaze, Tt sets Fire to Neighbor-
ing Chicken House.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11.-Thir-
ty-six rabbits and chickens were lost
and two structures were destroyed by
fire of freak origin here. Those who
sustained losses are Harry Knox and
William Richards.
Knox was the owner Of eighteen
Belgian hares. In the shed on his prem
Uses where he kept the rabbits he had
an oil stove for heating. The stove was
upset and an explosion followed. In a
few seconds the structure was mass
Of flames.
Awakened by the explosion, Knox
opened his windows in time to see one
Of his rabbits leap over the fence to
the adjoining yard. The little animal 5
fur was mass of flames. 1t ran into
another shed ON Richards's property,
where eighteen prize chickens were
kept, and set it on fire. Before the fire
department arrived both sheds and
their stock were consumed.

AGREE ON WATERPoWER BILL.
Measure for Developing Resources Like
ly to Meet Little Opposition.

WASHINGTON, April II. - After
weeks of working at cross purposes,
Congress has at last taken a step
looking toward the development of
certain Of the waterpower resources of
the nation which viii be possible to
complete without serious opposition.
This step is the Smith bill, just re
ported by the senate committee on az
liculture and forestry, authorizing the
withdrawal of waterpower sites and
the construction of waterpower and
other plants by the government itself
for the manufacture of nitrates.
The bill carries with it an appropria-
tiou Of Sl5,G00,0 600 and proposes the
sale OF bonds on the ground that the
improvements recommended are to be
permanent and would benefit future gen
eratious. The plants are to be oper-
ated on the basis of war demands and
in times of peace are to dispose of
their product to the agricultural inter
ests
1t was brought out by the senate
committee in the course OF it's hearings
that had Germany failed to develop
nitrate production through WATERPROOF

supply OF nitrates would have made it

what would be the condition OF this
country if for any reason the foreign
supply of this absolutely essential IN

In the opinion of the committee il

ment to provide for the increased pro
! luction of our lands as it was to equiv

If KIDNEY AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidntys and
Neutralize Irritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted au-
thority. The kidneys ritter this acid
from the blood and pass it on TO
the bladder, where it often remains
to irritate and inflame, causing a
burning, scaIding sensation, or set
ting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek re-
lief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
profuse; again, there is difficulty in
avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irrita-
ton. AID Salts is splendid for kid
neys and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have pleasant, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble
