Paroled I Convicts Given Work in Munitions Plants. Chicago.—While 600 paroled con- vets . {rom three prisons in Tilinols were marching as free men, to enter munitions works and help in the win- ning of the war, the people of Chi- cago warmed with sympathy as they read of the heroism of Ike Kaminsky, erstwhile -all-round crook, who made’ good as a soldier in Uncle Sam’s army - in France. Sergt. Ike Kaminsky, whose name - appeared In General Pershing’s cas- ualty. list as “missing,”. and who is either dead or a'prisoner in Germany, lq the same Ike Kaminsky who, in 1916, was Implicated in the Chicago police graft scandul. Kaminsky was a burglar, He “himself admitted that he had “a_ record as long as Milwau- kee avenue. . Kaminsky came to this country 1t €Ars 4go, an lgnorunt Russian fmmi- Enmt boy. Kaminsky swore that he ever committed a crime till the police drove him to it, He was picked up-by ® policeman as a suspect and, although ‘on that - occaslon, the police mded him, and he eventually turned. to crime. 5 Deoldld to Go etnlght. —Afier ‘extricating himself from bis last “scrape” In 1915, Kaminsky de- “cided £ “go straight” and went to , 0, where he obtained " Youngstown -~ work in the steel mills. Then when America entered the war Kaminsky euliated. To a friend In Chicago he wrote: “I want to show them that 1 can ba a man, T have enlisted.” Once in France, Kaminsky shuwed himself to be of good soldiering ma- terlal-and he won his sergeant stripes ina ‘few weeks. On July 19, his com- pany went -over -the -top, and ‘when the actlon was over Sergeant Kamin- sky was missing. Whether he fell into the hands of the enemy, or wheth- ¢ hig body les:In No Man's Land may“never be determined. Iilfnofs has 600 more “Kaminskys” now ‘at work in munitions plants. All these men ‘were released. from. the Went Over the Top. 4 \stnts prisons on parole and every one iof them has made good so far. They" mre employed In the ,Rock Island lhopa, working , without a guurd and as free men. . Horlor Among Convicts. Thelr severest criticlsm and most |jealous - observation, it 1s said, 1s Aamonx their own number. A man lwho would break his parole, or other- iwue endanger the belfef of the parole iboard in the advisability of the plan, wonld be literally in danger of his llife at the hands of his comrades, iwhose liberty he wounld he jeopardiz- - ing. ! The addition of this number of iworkmen {s valued by employers, it is |said. One plant engaged in war work iwould have been compelled to close, but for it. They say the conviets ,work ‘well, and are pald good wages, ‘avernging from $4.50 to $9 a day. Thelr ‘earnings for the month are estimated t $40,000, and they are on the basis of a half milllon & year. The men say ghey Intend to invest practically all ithelr savings up to the present time in Liberty bonds. Thelr quota IS ex- Pected to be over $100 a man. Flfty Cents to Run House.

FRIDAY EVENING, | <CEMBER 6, 1918 ' DARKEY ASKS CLERK FOR HIS “ZEMPSHUN” Brings in Wife and Eleven Chil l dren and Wants to Col- lect for Lot. . Asheville, N. C—Followed by his \\lfe ‘and eleven children ranging from out corn fleld hands to bow-legged toddlers, an old darkey made his way, froth office to office in the Federal building, seeking some one who would glye him his “zempshun.” Finally;~arriving at the city exemp- tion board e said: “Boss, I done come for my two thou- 1 UP DRINK GLASS > oY Lo o o\ oao .r‘ "uoa‘ { — 2 AN PAYAY R ST “} Done Come for My .Zemshun.” " san’ dollars zcmfisllun, and “what ‘you ows fér de chillun.” “A man as old as you are doesn't need any exemption,” a board member told him. “And where do you get that $2,000 taik?” After prolonged inquiry it devel- oped. that the old man had heurd that $2,000 exemption was allowed the head of a family under the income tax law, and the military laws “provided $100 allowance for each child of “a sol- dier’s family. Combining the two laws he had reached the conclusfon that the government would pay him $2,000 “zempshun,” and $100 for each child. The old fellow was not downhearted when he learned that theré was noth- ing coming to him. ’ “Jest lfke atter tuther wor,” he sald. “Dey say us niggers gwyne: fer to git a mule and we never got none.” b __ Respect Other People's Projerty. Attention to other people's property ndds to'the national wealth. The idea seems to- have gotten abroad -that wealth i purely a personul matter. To a -certain extent that ig. true. Dut wealth produces for the covimon good. The facts show that not dire poverty but growth and development is the oc- casion of disconient. You can dg your part in the upward march of pr’ogress by teaching men that eviry property loss brings calamity on the community: And the principle works™ both ways.” $len often sow for the other man what they themselves reap.

Says Inside-bathing makes any- | one look and feel clean, I e sweet and refreshed. Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. "This is yastly more jimportant be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill- ness, while the bowels pores do. For every ounce of food and drinkl taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material i8 not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked intoc the blood stream, through the Ilymph ducts which should such only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accusfomed to wake up with a dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stom- ach or constipation are assured of pronounced improvements in _both health and appearance shortly. .Collars—25c, 39¢, 48¢, 73c, 98c and $1.19 _some only -slightly more. - S = - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PAGE SEVEN CHRISTMAS GIFTS Hosts and Hosts--—Loads and Loads Stacks Upon Stacks Now Already 1 * Never in the history of this store have preparations been made on such a large scale.
