A PRISON FOR THE BAD BOYS OF
THE RICH.

Under the innocent looking title La
Maison Paternelle" there exists in
France what might be briefly designat-
ed as an authorized. aristocratic pris-
on for Juvenile offenders.
1t was founded by legal luminary,
ested in the training and welfare of
the Young. with view of checking the
growing. spirit of INSTRUMENTATION to
authority. both at home and at school,
which had become specially marked in
the highest rangs of society in France.
One OF the most salutary elements
in the scheme of this institution is the
absolute secrecy which is maintained
in France, both as to the exact locality
names of those who are sent there.
On on elevated, somewhat bare
tract of country. within few miles of
Tours, stands a large quadrangular
building known as La Colonie Agri-
COLE which is a government eStab-
Iishment. and behind the chapel, which
is situated in the center of the west
front. La Maison Paternelle" is cum
ningly concealed.
1t is a rectangular. two-storied bull
ding, adjoining the east end Of the
chapel, and the first thing that meets
the eye on entering is a huge board
bearing the omirous word, SILENCE"
The ground floor is occupied by pris-
on-like cells and offices; the upper one
contains rather smaller cells, and is
surrounded by gallery which shuts
off all communication with the ground
floor
When a boy or yorng man under age
becomes inveterately idle. refractory,
or dissipated, his parents or guar
dams can obtain the consent of mag
istrate. which is sometimes seconded
by that of a medical man, and after
certain papers have been signed, list
of questions relating to the boys edu-
cation. and present or past peculisri-
ties, is filled up by the parents, and the
culprit who, in this country, would be
licked into shape in a healthy, out
doro fashion, is solmenly handed over
to the ''paternal" care of Monsieur lie
The main feature in the treatment
is solitary confinement during the
period of Incarceration, be it long or
short. Three months is the usual
time. But cases have been known in
which it has been extended to one or
even two years.-The January Pear
sons

The next morning just before daybreak

first it was a mile below where l had

We watched it for an hour, while all
the time it seemed to get nearer the
hilltop. until at last it hung in the
sky just above the range. 1t was a
beautiful sight. Such colors / never

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is
to use the preparation known as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. 1t digests what you
eat and restores all the digestive Or
CANS to perfect health. Fred Schaefer,

People will slug themselves with cof-
fee and then hunt around for medicine TO
cure them of the trouble coffee produces.
but they keep on drinking coffee and
making new diseases right along That
is, some people do. There are thoughtful
people. however. and their number Is
growing greatly every month, who prefer
good, sturdy health TO sickness, and they
leave on coffee because II is drug that
produces disease.
Many people have TO learn that this Is
true by hard knocks. and they get the
knocks all right II they stick TO coffee.
