Not only in New Castle" says the
! Philadelphia North American, but
also in Ellwood City, a town of about
5000 population, arrests have in
creased greatly. the proportion of in
crease being about the same as in
New Castle. Six additional policemen
were placed on the New Castle force
this year shortly before the saloons
returned, largely as preparedness
move.
''Speak-easy arrests have been made
in considerable numbers since licensed
saloons were returned to the county.
The liquor dealers and hotel license
holders have themselves brought de-
teCtives into the county to cause arrest
of speak-easy proprietors and a con-
siderable number have been rounded
up"
This is especially to be noted be-
cause the battle cry of those who
waRed the fight for the return of
saloons was that the speak-easies
would be eliminated and that the
number of arrests would not he ma

not been fulfilled.

AMERICA BEHIND IN
CRIME STATISTICS

BUFFALO, N Y, Oct. 12.--"The lack
of rational, comprehensive system of
criminal statistics in the United States
is one of the worst evidences to con-
denim US in the eyes of the scientific
world" said William T. Cross, GEN
eral Secretary of the National Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections, in
presenting the report of the Committee
on Statistics of Crime to the American
Prison Association at its annual Con-
gress here To-Day.
This failure, he said, is at the same
time probably the most pervading
fault in our public organization to
combat crime" He continued:
Our scientific relations information
ally are becoming constantly more
profitable-in no realm more than that
of the administration of justice and the
treatment of persons convicted of
crime. Yet our criminal statistics are
the despair of the foreigner. The atti-
tude of the penologists of European
countries towards us must be about
like that we have towards those de-
pendent upon the sign language. Per-
haps no European nation furnishes us
an acceptable model of organization
OF criminal statistics, but at least their
statistics are so planned as to lend
good support to progressive admin
istration and to facilitate scientific re-
search.
ITO be reliable and most useful,
criminal statistics must be so correl-
ated as to represent continuous and
complete view of the offender and OF
the process of treatment, beginning
with his first overt act; the report OF
the offense, apprehension. preliminary
custody, trial, conditioner liberation,
liberation, incarceration under SEN
tence, conditional discharge, and af-
ter-care. The criminal is unit, like
wise the problem; so should the pro-
cess be, and so the statistics. The
gacts we gather and tabulate should
approximate the freshness and full
ness Of physicians case description.
As corrolaries, it is plain that the
terms and classifications, as we'll as
possible, must be standardized and uni
form, and that he facts compiled in
different states should agree in their
main outlines. The cogs must fit.
Our criminal statistics must be use

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Waah away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out,
tic feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the inside
like you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do, says a
well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day a glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to preevnt their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you feel before your blood, nerves and
became saturated with an
accumulation of body poisons, begin
this treatment and above all, keep it
up! AS soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
purifying, so limestone phosphate and
hot water before breakfast, act on

TICK OFFICE OPENS
IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 12.-At
the request of farmers and business
men in southeastern Texas, the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, has opened a
branch differentiation Office at Hous-
ton, Texas, and assigned DIR. ]. B.
Reidy and corps of veterinarians to
take charge of tick eradication in that
section.
The territory to be covered from the
Houston headquarters lies east of the
International and Great Northern
Railroad and south of the southern
boundaries of Anderson, Cherokee,
Nacogdoches, and Shelby counties.
The people of this section are es-
pecially anxious to have these coun-
ties freed from ticks as quickly as
possible so that their free territory
will adjoin free territory in ouisiana,
where compulsory state tick eradica-
ton promises an early freeing of that
state from quarantine.
The Chamber of Commerce at Hous-
ton has taken steps to build the first
dipping vat in Harris county, and bus
mess men and organizations through
out the southeastern corner of the
state are pledging their active support
to the movement.
The work of tick eradication now be-
ing carried on in western Texas will
be continued and will be directed as
heretofore from headquarters in
Fcrt Worth.
Florida, similarly, is showing such
active interest in tick eradication that
the Department of Agriculture has de-
cided to give that state a tick-eradica-
ton headquarters of its own at Jack
sonville. Heretofore the work in Flor
ida was directed from Atlanta. DR.. E.
M. Nighbert, who previously directed
the work from Atlanta, will be as
signed with corps of veterinarians to
Jacksonville. DR.. VIM. NJ. MacKellar, |
who directed the forces which were
successful in eliminating the cattle
ticks from California, will be assigned
to Atlanta to direct the work in Geo. |
