CARES KEEP

PRISON WARDEN SAYS

SALEM, Ore. March 26.-Household
cares keep men out of jail, in the opin-
ion of Charles A. Murphy, warden Of
Oregon state prison today. Husbands
who are responsible for the wife and
kiddies have less time to become GRIM
inals than unmarried men, is his be-
lief.
Counting widowers," said the
warden, I'VE find that about % per
cent of the convicts received during
the last two years are married men,
Sixty-two percent are bachelors.

younger inmates would not have got

EAOUL FOUNDATION TO URGE
ADOPTION OF THE ELLIS LAW

ATLANTA, Ca, March 26.-An ac-
tie campaign to secure the adoption
O. the Ellis public health law will be
undertaken this year by the w G Raoul
Foundation, through its secretary,
James P. Faulkner, of this city, and
this campaign will be in addition to the
regular work of the foundation, which
is principally concerned in the pre-
vention and cure of tuberculosis.
The Ellis law, passed by the legisla-
ture in 1912 provides for the estab~
lishment by counties of county health
departments with a local board OF
health which has authority to formu-
late rules of health and sanitation and
to employ health officers. The law
does not make it compulsory upon a
county to put in operation the ma
chinery which it creates, but leaves it
optional with the local county author
tiles. Very few counties in the state
have availed themselves of the benz
fits of the law. Mr.. Faulkner plans
to appear before county grand juries
and urge upon them the vital impor-
lance of public health and the very
efficient plan provided by the Ellis
law.
A complete report has just been
published of the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals for anti-tuberculosis
work. 1t shows that the total sales
for the state were $9,934.11, as COM
pared with $9,108.51 the previous year,
which was an increase of $825.6O.

NORTH GEORGIA EDITORS USING
SUBSTITUTES FOR REAL MONEY

ATLANTA, Ca, March z6.-Appar-
entity the good old days of cord wood
and vegetables and poultry products
in payment for newspaper subscrip-
lions have returned in the South, and
the high cost of living is responsible
for it.
A while back the editors got pride
full and notified the world that hence
forth nothing but coin of the realm
would buy a subscription to their re-
spective papers. Vegetables and chick
ems and eggs were very good in their
place, and so was cord wood. but IN
editor couldn't pay his paper bills with
farm produce, nor could he feed them
to the linotype machines nor use them
to purchase gasoline for running his
automobile.
But now the time has come when a
bushel of Irish potatoes is more
samer" than cash, as the darkey
would say; and an egg is more prec-
ious than gold, yea even than pearls
and rubies; and a frying sized chicken
is an epicurean delicacy which none
but the rich and the well-to-do can
boast upon their tables.
And so it comes to pass that We edi-
ter is not so strong on this "Subscrip-
lions Payable Only in Cash"
