DEVIL’S ISLAND TO GET TOUCH OF SALVATION France’s ‘Sink of Misery’ Holds Unhappy Men Who May Be Saved. BY RAitPH HEINZEN_ United Pnsa Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct 30.—The Salvation Army is going to study up Devil’s island. No spot on the whole American continent knows as much misery as the penitentiary colony in Guiana, with its fever-stricken swamps. No island anywhere in the world is blackened with as much shame as Devil’s island No men ever were more unhappy than the “bagnards” who are sent to the colonial penitentiary to live the rest of their lives in bondage. The recent escape from the island of Doctor Bougrat, Marseilles physician, who was taken there less than a year after his conviction for the murder of a -bank cashier who visited him in his office, again has drawn the attention of the world to Guiana. Salvation Army Aids The Salvation Army of Prance has sent one of its young volunteers, Ensign Pean, to the colony to study the field and determine just what the Army can do to try to redeem for humanity and civilization the moral wrecks cast there. Pean found 3,000 former convicts living in Guiana because they were ashamed to come home. Marked with the stigma of Devil’s Island, they knew that they never could re-establish themselves in the life they knew before their sentence to penitentiary. There are thousands of “doublards,” too, who check off one day on the calendar every time the sun sets, dreaming of the distant day when they will have doubled the length of their sentence. Sentences Doubled It is French law that prisoners sentenced to the island penitentiary must serve double the length of the sentence, first as a prisoner and then as a free man held in observation. A twenty-year sentence is really forty years in exile, and forty years on Devil’s island generally means life. It is the plan of the Salvation Army to rebailitate the prisoners by educating them, by teaching them trades, and preparing them for their return to France by inculcating a respect for civilization and its rules.

KILLING HALTS DANCECONTEST ‘Muscling In’ Collector Held in Chicago Death. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—Chicago's “world’s championship” combined skating and dancing endurance contest was brought to an abrupt close today by a shooting affair in which one man was 1 filed and a patrolman wounded. William Mazarno was shot and willed at the One Hundred Thirtyfirst regiment armory where the contest was being held, by Richard Fishman, a “muscling-in” collector. Fishman fled from the armory and was pursued by patrolman Hugh McNally. A gun fight ensued in which McNally was wounded slightly. Fishman was captured by other police. It was the second shooting at the armory during the contest and police decided it was enough. One hundred spectators, three skating contestants and three dancing couples were taken to headquarters. It was Mazarno who disrupted the contest on the previous occasion several weeks ago. He was out on $5,000 bond in connection with this shooting. The skaters were in their 408th hour of continuous rolling and the dancers in the 758th hour of dancing. A “muscling-in” collector operates for whoever desires such a service, by going to the debtor and by coercion obtaining payment of the debt, it was explained. Fishman carried a card advertising his “collection” business.

Doctor Found Women and Children Sick More Often than Men

Asa family doctor at Monticello, lUinojs. the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell’s practice. More than half his “calls” were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature —colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness —and j all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. ! In the course of Dr. Caldwell’s 47 years' experience, he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and placed it on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it previously had in Dr. Caldwell’s private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to buy it. There are thousands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed. While women, children and elderly people are especially benefited by Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, its mild, gentle action is promptly effective on the most robust constitutions and In the most obstinate cases. Containing neither opiates nor narcotics, it is safe for the
