For the relief and cure of cold in the
head there is more potency in Ely's Cream
Balm than in any thing else it is possible to
prescribe. This preparation has for years
past been making a brilliant success as q
remedy for cold in the head, catarrh ard
hay fever. Used in the Initial stsges of
these complsints Cream Balm prevents any
serious development of the symptoms, while
almost numberIess cases are On record of
radical cures of chronic citarIh and hay

WOMEN KEEPERS FOR
W<sysEN CONVsCTs

A recent number of The Chautau
guam conlains an article by Margaret
w. Noble, on the Indiana Woman 5
Reformatory prison, the only prison in
the United States OF any other land,
managed, ot1icered and administered
from finances to discipline, solely by
women. The whole article should be
read by all interested in this worthy
work. Miss Noble says: 1T is scrupu-
lousy clean fresh building, airy and
sunbright i'll every cell, and it and the
girls dOrmitOry are furnished in such a
way that to some they afford the first
idea of gentility. A manager upon
visiting Il reformed one in ner home
found veritable reproduction Of the
Woman'S former cell. White counter
pane, fresh pillow slips drawn over the
one slept Oh, window full of flowers,
chair, little table with white cover and
bible-theSe were all, and told touch
ing story. Prison cells are as near
homelike as flowers which the women
are fond of keeping in bloom, and
pictures OF family or other bright bits
can make them. Thorough cleanliness
insured by supply of bath-tubs; good
air, food selected with regard to it's
being the most wholesome, and simple
regular habits, work magic upon con-
situations weakened byvice and disease.
"The most slatternly and most ig-
norant are taught thoroughly house
keeping in all its branches, and some
labor by which an honest living may be
made. Each woman is in a section
that thoroughly learns in turn to cook,
wash, iron, mend, darn, cut, fit, and
make clothes, knit, quilt, milk, harness
horses, make garden, hang paper, paint,
and do all manner of common home
work even TO turing the lawn. All
work of the place is done by inmates,
to making mattresses. Sewing, laun-
dering, and miscellaneous work are
taken in, not primarily to make ends
meet but to teach women these Occu-
patiOns for future reliance. The daily
routine moves like clock work, no talk
ing being allowed except at noon and
evening recreation hours. During the
winter, night school is held, at which
the common branches are taught and
useful general information impaired"
Cruz, (Cal,) New Charter
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1894-08-16

which may have been learned have
been forgotten. There is something
solemn and awful in the thought that
not one word is uttered, one act COM
mitted, but carries with it chain of
consequences the end of which we may
never trace. Not one but gives color
to the little character sketch we are
painting of ourselves.
The spirit of man does not die, but
still lives and walks among us; there is
an essence of Immortality in the life OF
man, even in this world. No individ-
ual stands alone, he is component part
of system of mutual dependencies,
