ment Of justice is about to build five
federal jaiis, money for this purpose
having been provided at the recent
session Of congress. Four Of the
jails are to be erected in the Indian

number Of federal jails. The pemten-
tiaries are located at Leavenworth,

The Atlanta penitentiary Is the
finest Institution Of its kind in the
United States. It was erected at a
cost Of 100000, and has $50 cells,
with accommodations for over 700
prisoners. The Leavenworth penn
Tertiary accommodates about 900,
and 100 can be cared for in the peni-
Tertiary on McNeal Island, Wash.

Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases Of Kidney

my husband bought box and
began to use them, and in short time
we were surprised and delighted at
the wonderful Improvement in my case.
