After she had become almost heart-broken . as well as physically exhausted from constant car®, toy the advice of a neighbor she procured a bottle of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. From the first dose to the last a continual change for the better was notlcabla, and when I had taken eleven bottles I was well, and In robust health." EDWARD D. REAM. North Manchester, Indiana. “Our little boy Harry, had spasms for three years, and although we doctored with many physicians, he cdntlnued to grow worse until he had ten spasms In one week.

His improvement seemed slow, but when he had finished the fourth bottle the spasms had disappeared, a»d have not been seen now for years. We shall always recommend Dr. Miles’ Nervine.” MRS. BELLE M.

“ Phillips’ ” Night at Lafayette.

“The Wolf’’, Eugene Walter’s great play of life in the Canadian Hudson Bay country, is announced for presentation at Lafayette, Ind., Tuesday evening, Nov. 10th, at the Grand opera house, with all its stage accessories, elaborate scenery and light effects, precisely the same as seen in New York and Chicago. Mr. Allen Dale, the celebrated writer on the New York American, said in the Issue of that paper of April 20th: “Let me say right here, without further parley, that in ‘The Wolf,’ Mr. Eugene Walter has most assuredly confirmed our impression that he is a ‘find’. His second play is a melodrama, vivid but primitive, vital but unfledged. It is direct, terse, capitally written, sincere, and free from conventional flapdoodle. “ ‘The Wolf hit the first nighters in spite of all. This was an achievement was a great feat. It proved beyond the peradventure of a doubt, that young Mr. Walter is made of the right dramatic stuff.

“ Paid in Full’ was not a fluke. It was the work of an artist. For, further particulars apply to ‘The Wolf.’ “When one recalls this young playwright’s ow r n admission that, just before the production of ‘Pair in Full’, he was sleeping In the parks, and struggling for the right to nourish his «oor outward shell, one cannot help applauding the fine hand of e ! ernal justice. “ ‘Everything comes to him who waits’, is apparently correct. It is a nice and consoling thing to believe in.

“Apparently, Mr. Walter, has not seen many plays, and therefore deean’t know how managers, actors and claque expect them to be done. He does them ““his own way, which is a mighty good thing to do. Whatever may be the fate of ‘The Wolf’, it has been proven Mr. Walter’s right to be looked upon as perhaps the only serious dramatic proposition that ,this season has set forth. If he can give us only play a year, we may think ourselves lucky. He will give us a good play.” -Mr. Au gustus Phillips (our “sons”) will appear as Jules.

JAIL IN THE FAR EAST

Life Among Prisoners at Montgomery in the Punjab.

THEY ARE REWARDED.

For Each Live Rat Caught Convicts Gets Ten Good Marks—Grinding Corn and Pumping Water Hardest Tasks—Escape Difficult as Prison Is Center of a Forest.'

The visitor to one of the large jails of India, the great one at Montgomery, in the Punjab, for Instance, where more than two thousand native prisoners are corralled by way of punishment for their misdeeds, would come away with the impression that a far worse fate might befall the inmates than incarceration in such a clean, roomy, busy place. While practically everything in the way of work about the jail, including the gardening, the cleaning, etc., the sweeping, the washing, the tailoring, etc., is done by the prisoners, and occupations are found iD useful arts ror those not otherwise employed, yet the caste prejudices of each are respected. As for food, their diet is as carefully arranged as that for tne training table of a football team. The superintendent aims to keep all his prisoners up to a certain standard of weight and in a perfect state of health. It must be admitted, however, that this is tor the purpose of getting a maximum amount of work out of them, at a minimum of loss by death or sickness. Each prisoner is weighed at regular periods, and when necessary his work and his diet are changed, or he is sent to the hospital and generally looked after as if he were an only child in a delicate state of health. Extra food is supplied to those who are employed on especially hard labor. There are factories in the different jails, in which respect the Indian prisons are like some of those in America. Carpets woven after the manner of Gobelin tapestries, bit by bit, are made at Montgomery. The factory in which these much desired carpets are woven is not a place filled with humming machinery, as the name would suggest. It is an open pavilion, in which the chief sound is that of human voices. It is a veritable Babel The machinery consists of a number of crude looms worked by hand. One of them is wide enough to make a fifty foot carpet. The prisoners at Montgomery have an opportunity to Know their record as they make it. Each one carries around with him a character or “history sheet,” consisting of a number ot leaves stitched together. In this his complete jail record is set down. At the beginning are all particulars regarding his convictions and a full description. His weight is entered once a week, and his punishments and rewards, his changes in labor and the time spent in the hospital or in a solitary cell are all jotted down. The marks are put down as earned. Twenty-four marks mean the remission of one day’s time from the sentence. When paraded, each man squats with his cap on his left knee, his “history sheet” in one hand and his queer mediaeval shoes, plate and bowl laid out in a row in front of him. Catching rats is one of the most curious ways in which marks are earned. Rats carry the plague, so it is important that the jail shall be kept free from them. Every drain and hole is covered with wire netting, and a reward of ten marks is given to every prisoner who captures a rodent ana produces it alive before the superintendent or jailer. It is not unusual to see one of the prisoners approaching a jailer leading one or two live rats at the end of strings and carrying his "history sheet.” i These he presents with a great display of humblenese, holding the snuffing little creatures in leash while the marks are put down in his book. The rats are then ordered dispatched by the jailer. Escape is comparatively difficult at Montgomery, as ths jail is in the canter of a desert, in which a runaway can be easily tracked. The system ot handling the prisoners is so arranged that ten minutes after an alarm suffices to discover whether any one is missing or not, and if so. who it is. Wfien anything wrong is observed by a watchman he beats a gong.' This is the signal for each warder to collect his gang of prisoners. He places them In security and counts them. On one occasion, at evening roll sail, it was discovered that a man was missing. The gong was sounded Immediately. After re-checking tne men two or thre times It was remembered that a certain man had been hanged that day and his name had not been crpssed off. He had sunn beneath the eurfaoe, like many another man does, leaving hardly a bubble to tell where he had sunk.

The Farmer and Electric Roads.

It is to the we ire of the farmer to encourage the building of electric roads through his neighborhood; but he should see to it that such lines be kept from obtaining the right of way along the public highways. An electric ear is often as dangerous along the public roads as automobiles.

How to Cure Your Piles Doe Often To Carelessness or Neflect - . • and Stubborn to Core “The knife Is not always necessary to cure even desperate cases of piles,” says a physician whose years and experience make him an authority. “Indeed,” he says further: “I have known some very aggravated cases ot long standing cured by a simple home remedy that restored to the bowels easy natural daily movements.” And the doctor is right, as many letters from cured people In various parts of the country prove. If sufferers from piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin they would often save themselves the terrible pain and dahger and the heavy expense of a severe surgical operation. .Piles are often due to constipation and are always aggravated by It. E&sy natural movements of the bowels such as are Invariably produced by this famous laxative without pain or gripe do much to restore a normal, healthy condition to the bowels and thus cure piles. M. H. Miller, Moweaque, 111., says: “I have been troubled all my life with piles brought on by-constipation. 1 tried many doctors and numerous remedies, but found no relief until I used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I have uised it as a laxative and stomach remedy for the past nine years and have no more troubles with piles.” H.’N. John, Minneapolis, Kan., says he suffered for four years with piles which, were so bad that he could not work. Four bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin cured him, and he says he has not been bothered since. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a safe sure remedy for constipation, restoringeasy natural daily movements; .in the worst old chronic cases, yet so mild and pleasant to take mothers give It to their babies with splendid results. It Is sold by all druggists at 60c and SI.OO per bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 302 Caldwell Bldg., Montlcello, 111., will send a free sample to anyone who has not used it and will give it a fair trial.
