WARDEN FOG ARTY VIEWS. Believes In Giving Prisoners Every Chance That Is Possible. On account of the Indiana reformatory being located Jn Jefferson rllie views upon thp parole system given by Warden Ed-w and Fo gar of the Tndia a tate prison. Michigan City, in his annual report to the Board of Trustees of the institution, which has just been issued, are of interest. Warden Fogarty has placed the Inmates id the institution In two classes.

The flrt consists of those who sought opportunity to commit crime and were actuated by a studied purpose, and tiie second those who committed crime when the opportunity unsought and the i en ti was by force of ci rcum-sfances too strong to be resisted. Warden Fogirt says it seems to him that the class cannot be held too long In prison unless they give pos'tive proof of a hanged purpose in life. He holds the second i2s cannot be paroled too soon, 1 am impressed the fact," writes Warden Fot-arty. "that errors in grantlne are Invariably revealed, but those uaz in- uitiuc .11 JftrUIOS never corn? to light. I am thoroug'nly of the opinion that there is more danger in denying a parole In a case than in granting parole in an unworthy one.

am as freely convinced that no man ever has been reformed or made better by punishment. He may be subdued and the beast in him may be conquered for the time, but a clean heart and a right spirit never can be punished into him. It is my purpose to deal with the inmates of this institution as men; to find and touch, if possible, the responsive chord in their better natures that always, if it can be found, answers."

Constipation, if Neglected, Causes Serious Illness Constipation, if neglected, leads to almost innumerable complications affecting the general health. Many cases of typhoid fever, appendicitis and other severe diseases are traceable to prolonged clogging of the bowels.

Regard-the effects of constipation, C. E. Ayers, 6 Sabin Montpelier, Vt, says: "I was afflicted with constipation and biliousness for years, and at times became so bad would become unconscious. I have been found In that condition many times. Physicians did not seem to be able to do me any grood.

I would become weak and for days at a time could do no work. Not long ago I got a box of Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and after using them found I had never tried anything that acted in such a mild and effective manner. I believo I have at last found the remedy that suits my case." Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual constipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger, of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious illness often results. The advice of all.

physicians is, your bowels dean" and it's good advice. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold, by, all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory, your money is returned. a MfLS MEDICAL Elkhart, I.

ARTHUR LIEBES, a young man engaged in advertising agency work, made a speech in Toledo not long ago on the VALUE OF THE NEWSPAPER AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. cited this instance as illustrating the waste that often follows in the wake of general publicity: "An electric vacmn cleaner company was advertising its products in a pTiblication whose publishers claim reaches IS. 000 post-offices in America. Accurate data shows that there are BUT 5.000 TOWNS and cities in America supplied with electric current, and of these there are 2,000 where current is available onlv at night, thus KLI.IUN'ATIN'G all hut 3.000 cities and towns where the cleaner can be actually utilized." Nobody questions the value of general publicity AFTER a manufacturer HAS SECURED COMPLETE DISTRIBUTION, which is quickest secured by advertising in local newspapers. But to advertise miscellaneously TOUCHING MANY SPOTS and not covering any one thoroughly is not a sensible or business-like way to proceed.

In many instances like the vacuum cleaner case cited by Mr. Liebes general publicity won't do at all. In such cases only the spots where the article can be used should be touched, and there is no way to do that except through advertising in those spots, and the HOME NEWS PAPERS ARE THE LOGICAL MEDIA TO USE. The way advertising fits in is about as follows FIRST THE NEWSPAPER in each community as fast as each community can be reached by sane business development. Second When all communities are developed then use general media.

There will be plenty of business for us all by this method of procedure. And there will be fewer failures in advertising campaigns. (To be continued.)

Inasmuch as the coal Las been given out in half-ton lots this would indicate that 3.000 sufferers were relieved during the cold weather, but as quite a number, of the applicants were supplied a second and even a third time the exact number of the destitute who MPiied for relief will not be known until foal account is closed.
