TWO WOMEN SAVED FROM OPERATIONS By Lydia E. Pinfcham's Veg- etable Compound —Their • Own Stories Here Told. Beatrice, Neb. — '' Just after my mar- riage jmy left side began to pain me and the pain got so severe at times that I suffered terribly with it. I visited three doctors and each one wanted to operate on me but I would not consent to an op- eration. I heard of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was doing for others and I used several bot- tles of it with the result that I haven't been bothered with my side since then. 1 am in good health and I have two little girls.''—Mrs. R. B. CHILD, Beatrice, Neb, The Other Case. Cary, Maine. — \I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham'^Vegetable Compound did for me. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around It seemed almost impossible 1o move or do a bit of work # and I bought I never would be any better mntil I submitted to an operation, but my husband thought I had better write to you and I did so, stating my symp- toms. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soem felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and •raid do almost all my own work for a family of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your Vegetable Compound,\—Mrs. HAYWARD SOWERS, Cary, Maine. LUMBER FOR SALE.

Prisoners Should Build Our ways— CJuince for Legislator to Make Himself Famous by Con- straofcing and Pt^ssJxgg to Passage a Statute Providing for Organiza- tion and Carrying On tho Work Extensively. — TBhey Trust and Work the Most Desperate Crim- inals in Colorado Without Guards. —A Different Plan in Operation in Washington and Wyoming, but Oregon Also Has the Honor Sys- tem.—Successful Employment of Prisoners on Highways Near Dan- nemora.—License Gaining: on Local Option Elections Because Brewers and Liquor Forces Work With More System than Formerly—Tem- perance People Must Organise Bet- ter to Hold Their Ground.—College Boys to Spend Summer Vacations in the Navy. - New York state does ,not realize what it has lost by failure to work its thou- sands of prison- ers in state pris- ons, penitenti- aries and jalla on the highways of the state. The prison popula- tion is constant- ly increasing and we are failing: to put all this unproductive labor to its best and most profitable use. Why doesn't some legislator who wants to make a name for himself send to Colorado, or Washington or Oregon, get copies of the laws there under wJUch prisoners are worked (or get them from the state library), togeth- er with detailed information of how they are worked, and press legisla- tion here for the organization of a prison road department in charge of experienced men not only in the handling of gangs of men but in road building? This state* on the Colorado, or WashingtonT' or Oregon plan, might have had more good roads if it had begun working pris- oners extensively ten yearss ago than and other state in the Union, and without much cost to the taxpayers, for testimony is universal that they work better and behave better in camps out in the open than the same number of foreign free laborers working for pay under contract. They appreciate being out in the open, with their stripes off, with better fare and with a chance to gain more rapid commutation of their sentence^, or even a pardon for decided merit than under the system of keeping them confined or work- ing in prison shops. They are plac- ed upon their honor, seldom try to escape and the whole plan works for their reformation as well as to turn tSfeir* labor to good account for the state. Many prisoners who have done something and been found out are quite like ordinary people who haven't happened to commit some overt act or haven't been found out; and placed in camps on an honor system they behave like other or- dinary workmen. In Oregon and Washington the people have made a political issue of road building by prisoners, and every politician or of- ficial who has got in the way of the movement has been crushed, for the people have been educated to the great advantage to be gained. Why New Tork state should be so behind these western communities is beyond sensible explanation, unless it be that our politicians are so engrossed In contracts and road jobs that they can't see the advantage of any other system, or else fire so hard- hearted that they believe prisoners should be punished in cells and be- hind thick wsalls rather than reform- Out in Colorado during the last two years prisoners have built 157 miles of beautiful new roads at a labor cost of but $298.12 per mile, or an average of 32 cents per man per day. The number of escapes lias been only one and one-fifth per cent, in these two years, or one aian out of 83, and the people of the ate have become wedded to the system. In this state the number would be less on account of sur- ounding conditions, rather than more. The men's sentences there are credited with the days they work on the roaa and they are sent back to jail foi any infraction of the rules. State Supt, of Highways Reel, of Albany attended the International Good Roads Congress last month and there saw an exhibit of moving pic- tures presented by Thomas J. Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, hich so opened his eyes on the pris- on road question that he has arrang- ed with Mr. Tynaax to exhibit the pic- tures before the governor and mem- bers of the legislature at Albany. Supt. Reel sees the opportunity to save this state millions of dollars by the adpptlon of a systematic general plan of road work for prisoners, with inestimable betterment to them. Mr. Tynan has one foreman of laborers in charge of one of the prison gangs who has killed eleven men, and yet he is now working in the open and without armed guards. At the recent convention of the American Road Builders' Association, Samuel HHI, of the state of \Wash- ington, told about the beginning and tile progress of the prison highway .movement there, wiier4 they work th« prisoners under guard of sharp- shooters, have bloodhounds to track them and keep a mimeograph re- card of whet every prisoner does.

For Cleansing the Blood I have never found anytibing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. In our home it is regarded our general family medicine. We use it whenever we are bilious or run down, or have impure blood or that tired feeling. I regard it only simple justice to speak well of this medicine, that has proved its worth so many times. Cer- tainly we would not know what to do were we deprived of Hood's Sarsaparilla.\-^Mrs. L. H. Nusbaum, Goshen, Indiana. It is because it combines the great curative virtues of more than 20 valuable ingredients- just those prescribed by the best physicians—that Hood's Sarsaparilla Possesses such remarkable curative power. It is the Spring Medicine foS the blood, stomach, kidneys and liver. Get a bottle today. to make it go a long ways. The tools were kept in the pink of con- dition by an artist in the making of burglars' tools, and the grub of the camp, which astonished the contrac- tor, was prepared by the best cook in the state, a prisoner who former- ly run a big German restaurant in Tacama. The men worked like fiends, but Mr. Hill didm't drive them — they drove themselves. In that state the indeterminate sentence law is In operation, with the right to pardon, and this makes every convict try to be .the best convict in the bunch. It takes time to teach the men to work and too much cannot be ex- pected in the beginning, but they soon become expert road-builders and can easily find employment When free as foremen at high pay. Mr. Hill has found from experience that the best unit for working prisoners and having them do all the work around the camp is a squad of 100. He proposes to have a law to pro- vide remuneration for convicts on the basis of 50 cents per man per day, the money to be given to their de- pendent families, if they have any, and to be saved if they have no families for giving them a start in the world when they go out of pri- son. In Oregon they have the honor sys- tem under which prisoner 0 are plac- ed in honor camps. The governor takes their word for what they will do, and puts thesm out, takes off their shacklea and their stripes and just lets them work out their salva- tion without any guards at all—they guard each other. Mr. Hill believes would be better to have both the honor camp and the guarded camp, and transfer the men as they de- serve from one camp to the other. In speaking of \trusties'\ Mr. Hill said he had never yet had a case of violated confidence with trusties put on the roads either for maintenance or patrol, and he told of one ooca- ion when he felt humiliated for his lack of trust in a \trusty.\ The prisoner had been delegated to look after a big culvert which had been damaged by a freshet and needed repairs. When the time came to close the stockade for the night the prisoner wasn't there, and he (Mr. Hill) rushed out to look for him. He found the prisoner on the job waiting for the forms to dry, hav- ing forgotten that he was a convict. Mr. Hill says all he himself did was to turn red and retire. In Wash- ington the state continues to em- ploy the prisoners when pardoned and paroled at the rate of $2.50 a day. By a referendum vote of the people in Washington both state and county convicts have been put to work on the roads. In Colora- do, where the men work without guards they understand that if one leaves the camp all the rest will be brought in. Sometimes they send them into the mountains on rock work, in mountain passes and other places, 15, 20 or 30 miles from the nearest town, and leave them there for days at a time, then go around with the grub-wagon carrying them supplies, checking them up and finding them all there. Utah does the same thing and is reported to have had but one escape in two years. Wyoming has passed the prison- highway law but has guard- ed camps, guarded by the convicts themselves. Convicts known to be good men and not criminals at heart, who have the confidence of the authorities, are given charge of the camps, and provided with fire arms, as a matter of awe and not for use. Thus far there has been no occasion to use them, nor has any prisoner left one of the camps. War- den Kaiser, of Clinton prison in this state, has tried out the system with \trusties putting the men out in road gaaigs. and they have built near- ly fifty miles of fine road in and around Dannemora, but the number so employed has thus far been but a drop in the bucket compared to the whole number of men in our state prisons, penitentiaries and jails wfeo might be used for the purpose. Only ooe attempt to escape has been made and that was unsuccessful. The men employed were those who are soon to leave the ^prison by commu- tation and tk© road work put them in £\>od condition to go out in the world and work for themselves af- ter their discharge The men here are Sugiar and syrup labels printed at The Flarmer office on short notice. 12tf.

They sleep in tents and are practically unmatched except for morning and evening roll calls. They welcome tn« chance to be in the open. There are hundreds of miles of road through ttoe Adirotidacks which ought to be constructed by the hun- dreds of prisoners now Incarcerated at Dannemora* 0upt. Scott and War- den Kaiser both feel that the system ought to be extended — *hat if it works well at Bannemora where the toughest characters are sent it would surely work well elsewhere. What we need Is a definite law, establish- ing a comprehensive highway system under wnlch practically all prisoners, state end county, will work in camps on the roads in summer and in Jail and prison yards in winter breaking stone for later use on village streets. Who will be th« senator or member of assembly to draft and pass the law to formulate the system? By dropping little petty amendments and taking tip tibia problem some man will win prominence among the leaders of public thought and public opinion in this state. In Vermont, as in Northern New York, license gained a few towns this year over last year, but only a few. The cause, however, needs the attention of all temperance people, who should understand that it is not a change of sentiment which has accomplished this result but better organization of the liquor forces. Associations of brewers, liquor deal- ers and distillers, have taken cog- nizance of the growing temperance sentiment of the past few years and are making a desperate effort to Chang* the tW« by employing men to look after thla part of their bus- iness and sending assistance of these men to communities where a vote is to be had on license, to help or- ganize and assist local license work- ers by augg<es«on» in educating their voters so that ao votes will be lost, furnishing funds for getting out the vote, etc. It la a Mfe and death strug- gle with them and they know it. There ought to be state temperance organizations to offset this system- atic work on the part of the liquor interests •—to go into every town where a vote is to be had, furnish sample ballots weeks ahetwl for showing voters how to mark their ballots, and organizing 1 house to house canvasses. Just a few votes lost by failure to properly mark them often turn the- tide in many towns. In the long run the general progress of temperance is certain to be determined by the local option struggles in individual localities. The navy department has evolved a novel plan for creating a naval reserve to be available in case of war. If the plan is carried out, 500 college students will be Invited to en- list for two months during the sum- mer vacation, and will be taken on cruises. Naval authorities believe that educated men will make the very best sailors ,and one goes so far as to say that he believes that 20 college men, after two months aboard ship, would make the best turret crew in the navy. Brains count in the navy, as tliey do in the army. No longer does the efficiency of a soldier or a sailor depend entirely on endur- ance or courage. If this plan Is car- ried out, m & few years there would be an element in the naval reserve that would be worth a great deal la case of war. It la proposed that but 20 students be taken from a college, and that they be selected by the fa- culty. The 600 are to he placed la groupaof SO to each warship and are to have quarters separate front the regularly enlisted men. Each stu- dent is to pay a few dollar* for hfti rations. No cheaper way of spending a vacation could be found, and ther should be great competition among the students for the privilege of go- Ing on these cruises. They will have to work while aboard ship, but the duties will not be hard and the nov- el experience will be agreeable, while to be able to take a cruise to for- eign ports for 40 cents a day is a* chance that the college students who can spare the money will jump at. The benefit the life on the sea will be to their health is another item that should be taken into considera- tion. The students who enlist for two months will come back to their stu- dies with North, South, East, West men and women are subject to the numerous ailments caused by defective or irregular action of the organsoi digestion and elimination.
