WORK IN OUR PRISONS.
Mrs. Whitehead Reports on Subject,
and Advocates Society Reforms.

Mrs. Thomas Whitehead, superintendent
Of prison work of the State Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, submitted
most interesting report at the conven-
ton OF that body recently held in Dam
vile. In it she lays stress upon the
crowded condition of the State Peniten-
tiary. and. after telling of the reforms
wrought therein by Major Lynn, she
urges tho members Of the union to use
their influence in having a new building
erected.
The report concludes as follows:
There is another thing you must do
Go homo and change society's opinions
and society's teachings and your home
teachings. Teach your young men that you
do not expect them to resent insult to
themselves; that you do not expect them
to resent injury or insult to you or your
daughters, because by so doing they run
the risk of striking a blow too hard or,
in heat of passion, use pistol or knife,
which the law will say Is the intent to
kill and they. your bravest and best, your
most chivalrous, be placed where the
State of Virginia makes the lash the
punishment for all violation OF prison
rules or for failure in tasks. Your boy
may not be the one to suffer this degra-
dalton. but others mothers hearts hayo
been broken because of this shame and
this disgrace and who knows whose turn
may be next? We raise our boys to be
manly. We want ttem to be high mind
ed and honorable, and not take insults,
and when the result OF our teaching
stares us in the face, we may weep ana
wall, but law is law, and law is inexora-
BILE.
Shall society change its ideas and its
requirements or mothers follow their
teachings; or shall there be change in
our lawsY'

ADVANTAGES.

The delivery of milk In glass jars possess
many advantages over the old system, and has
been adopted in most, " not all, OF our large,
progressive cities. where rigid hygienic laws
prevail This system is particularly desirable
in Richmond. owing to the material used In
making streets and alleys, which puiverizrs
into dust, and blows into every conceivable
opening, and despite the best efforts of the most
careful handling, necessarily gets into the cans.
measures, and vessels for receiving the milk,
and the milk itself. In the ordinary course Of
measuring, the most honest dr. yer will make
mistakes, sometimes giving too little, some
times too much, thus in many instances Great
ing dissatisfaction. With the glass jar system
your measure must be absolutely accurate or
you detect il at glance.
Under the old system-drawing from the
bottom OF a can-some customers get very little
cream, while others receive more than their
proportion provided all Of the milk is drawn
from the can) With our system, the glass
Jars are filled before the cream rises, and each
and every Jar contains its just proportion of
cream, which after standing, rises to the top,
and can be plainly seen. Each glass jar is
newly capped every time II is used, never using
the sane cap second time. With the glass
Jars unopened, the milk can be safely placed in
refrgera,ors without fear of contamination.
