URGES PRISON LABOR
TO HELP WIN WAR
OF PRISON CAN BE USED IN
MAKING WAR NECESSITIES.
(By the Associated Press.l

10y Tie ASSOCldL6u 1IGSSj
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25.-Prison
labor as a factor in winning the war
is being urged by Warden John Fran
cies, of the Western Penitentiary,
who is a recognized authority on the
management of penal institutions,
and retaining recreant manhood.
Nh Francies has taken up the sub
ject with the Chamber of Commerce
of Pittsburgh, which body has called
upon Congress to enact legislation
which will permit so 900 inmates of
prisons in the country to engage in
war work.
According to the views OF Mr..
Francies the criminal is a patriot ac-
cording to his lights. He will be glad
to help to win the war if allowed 10
do SO. State laws passed to fit peace
conditions prevent this. He holds
that it should be possible to suspend
these laws for war purposes during
the continuance of the war by act of
Congress. That mas not been done
Mr Francies thinks is due to an
oversight rather than to the deter
mination of anybody to refuse to
make use of the resources of the
prisoners labor
Mr. Francies expressed a firm be-
hef in the patriotism of labor and
does not think it will oppose the use
of prison labor in making supplies
under present conditions.
Il am in possession of data which
shows that 5 per cent of the prison
labor of the country, engaged in the
manufacture of socks, will turn out
100000 dozens of pairs in a years
time MIR. f'rancies recites I'VE
should have had twice that many
socks ready to send to our soldiers
i'll France to keep them from freez-
ing during the coming winter We
could have had them If this PROPOSE
ton Of our prisoners had been allow
ed TO work on them.
What is true of socks is true of
other supplies. There are buildings,
and machinery available to turn out
immense quantities of supplies and
they are not being used. There are
$4,000 persons rotting in idleness in
prison cells in this country because
they have no employment They are
degenerating morally, mentally and
physically, while their country and
the people of Europe need the work
they would be glad to give. Some
thing should be done to change this
condition of things

THE FRENCH WAY Of
SPR|NG|NC A SURPRISE.

Paris, Sept. 26.-The French
lnack of giving witty turn to the
most sinister aspects of life was ex-
emplified in an artistic, although
somewhat startling manner recently
during Y. NJ. C. A. secretary's visit
to one OF the trenches. The "Y"
man had taken along lot Of pro-
visions and tobacco and cigarettes.
The corporal on duty said there had
been dearth of smokes for several
days and that the soldiers would be
delighted to get them. But he
said, ''they will appreciate the gift
hundred fold II 1t comes to them
in some extraordinary way"
Thereupon he arranged the pack
ages along the parapet Of the trench
which looked out into mo Mans
land. Then he sounded the "alerte"
which brought the soldiers pell-mell
out Of their abris to repel what they
thought was an attack by the Ger
mans. Judge of their pleasant sur
prise when they found themselves
facing, not Huns, but packages OF
the long-longed for tobacco and Gig
|arettes.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HA|h
Look years younger! Use Grand.
mothers recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking
at any drug store for a bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore nat-
ural color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youth
full appearance. 1t is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease.-Adv.

Must Come to Omaha to Be
Indicted Into Marine CORPS

Men who live in Nebraska and
southern Iowa must come to Omaha
if they wish voluntary induction into
the United States marine corps.
Sergt. Ralph R. Miller, in charge
OF the Omaha marine corps mobiliza-
ton station said:
Out-of-town men must come to
Omaha to pass the physical exami.
nations. The Omaha station is the
only one in the state and this sta.
ton can accept men from any part
of this state and from southern
Iowa. Men living in the extreme
southern part of Nebraska and the
state of Kansas can take the re.
CURED examinations at the marine
station in Kansas City.
Out-of-town men must pay their
own expenses to the mobilization
station when they come to the same
for physical examination. The draft
boards furnish transportation and
subsist ence when the man is &C
cepted and his induction into the
marines completed.
Il advise out-of-town men tc
first have their local doctor pass OF
their physical condition, as by sc
doing they take less chance of going

for physical examinations and fail

Proctor Searching for
Two Daughters Whose
Names Does Not Know

Bent nearly double with age and
rheumatism, William Proctor drove
into Omaha one day last week, seek
ing his two daughters, whose names
he does not know. He drove
ancient white horse attached to a
wagon that was in the last stages
of dilapidation. The police picked
him up, as he drove around in an ap-
parently aimless manner. Then they
didn't know what to do with him,
so they telephoned Gould IDietz.
Send him to the City mission"
said Mr.. Dietz, and put the horse
in livery stable"
The old man passed the night at
the City mission and was sent the
next day to the Salvation Army in
dustrial home. Here he was given
food and lodging and offered work,
but he didn't want to work. He
said in December he expected to re-
ceive pension of $40 from the
government and in the meantime
would travel on, looking for the lost
daughters, whose names he could
not remember.
Monday Proctor took his old white
horse from the livery stable. The
animal had been we'll fed and looked
more able to journey on. The livery
man did not charge for its keep.
When last seen the old man and
the old white horse we're travelling
slowly westward, presumably in
search of the lost daughters and the
coming pension.

Coal Outlook EnCouraging,'
is Report of Trade PAPER

The American Coal Journal, New
York and Chicago, says: THE BIZ
tumi 1ous coal markets is soft and
prices rather easy in nearly all
parts of the country. While pro-
duction is 100000 tons off for week
covered by the last returns. it is
100000 tons larger than the week
a year ago. Anthracite production
has declined 100000 tons for the
week and wages have been advanced
81 day, making this market strong
and unless the wage increase can be
absorbed in other ways the in
creased cost aid decreased output
may be reflected in higher prices.
The outlook for the winter, withal
is encouraging, as stocks in con.
sumers' and dealers hands average
rSS per cent better than last year
and comprise 81 per cent of the win
ter's supply"
