WORKHOUSE
IS SHUT Up
IrIsEs BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL

{ fAMES 6UREAU Al SIAIE ERFlIAIl
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May 27-One
! Of the most interesting sights that
met the gaze Of the international pro-
hibition commission. which was here
yesterday to study conditions. was the
closed and deserted workhouse Tor
many years Marion county maintained
a workhouse. and thousands of persons
convicted of intoxication and other
smaller offenses. were sent to the work
houe instead of to the county jail. In
fact. they were pretty well divided De-
tween the two institutions. In the
Jail the prisoners did no work. In the
work house they made little ones out
of big ones"
For many years tho work house popu-
lation averaged about 100. Sometimes IT.
was more and sometimes less. The
county paid all the cost of maintenance
Within a month after the state be-
came dry. in April. 1918. the population
Of the workhouse had dwindled to such
a low figure that the county commits
sioners found they had more employees
than prisoners in the institution. A
certain number of employees was re-
quired to keep the workhouse in OPP
Grafton whether there was one or
hundred prisoners.
4 manly the UulHDeI OIL prisoners
dropped so much that the commissions
ers decided to abandon the workhouse
and close it up. and send all such pris-
oners thereafter to the county Jail or
to the penal farm.
Another interesting bit of information
that was handed out to the information
al prohibitionists. with w ]. Bryan in
the bunch. was that the delirium ire
mems ward at the Indianapolis city hos
pital was abandoned and closed up sew
eral months ago. When liquor was
rampant in the state delimium tremens
cases were numerous. especially on Sat
urday nights. Sundays and Mondays.
But when the city became dry these
cases disappeared, and there was no
further use for the delirium tremens
ward. with its three cells

Ladies! Salute Him
Discovers drug that loosens
sore, touchy corns so
they lift out

A noted Cincinnati chemist discovered
a new ether compound and called II
freezone and little quarter ounce bottles
can now be obtained from any drug
store for few cents.
You simply apply several drops OF
freezone upon a tender corn or painful
callus and instantly the soreness dis
appears, then shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that you can
just lift 1t off with the fingers.
No pain. not a bit of soreness. either
when applying freezone or afterwards
and ii doesn't even irritate the skin.
Hard corns. soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes. also toughened calluses
Just shrivel up and lift off so easy. 1t
is wonderful Seems magical. 1t works
like a charm. Millions Of women will
hereafter keep little bottle of the won
derful freezone handy and never let

To County Food Administrators;
A number of inquiries with
regard to rules affecting wheat
and wheat mills feeds indicate
that a statement to all County
Food Administrators regarding
these products might bein order.
The resembling of rules and
regulations governing the wheat
milling industry recently mean
that:
l. Mills may now grind wheat for
anyone regardless of whether they grew
the wheat or not.
2. Farmers may have their wheat
ground and sell the flour to merchants or
others; and merchants may purchase
wheat and have it ground at custom, SELL
ing both flour and mill feeds.
8. Neither merchants nor mills are
asked to require any longer from custom
ers mill feed pledges restricting the use
of wheat mill feeds to the feeding OF dairy
cows and young pigs and calves.
Mills are no longer required to OBJ
serve the prices fixed several months age
| for mill feeds and -four, but are allowed
to balance the prices of mill feeds and
-four according to the demands of thei
trade. The only requirement is thai
their margin, including operating expen
ses and profits, shall not exceed $l.25 pei
Darrell of flour.
We have just received a wire
from Washington stating thai
