The democratic town convention may hold meeting this evening for the purpose of nominating another representative with John Moriarty. It is said the convention will not ac- cept Ambrose H. Wells decllnation of the nomination and will keep his name on the ticket Mir Wells and Mir Moriarty will surely be elected, If they run together, for the people are aroused over the exorbitant prices of everything in, the control of the trusts. A vote for the democratic straight ticket next Tuesday will mean d vote of contempt for the trusts, for, while the next general assembly will not have to elect state senator, it would be the safest thing under all circum- stances to vote the straight democrat ic ticket and elect a democratic gen. eral assembly. Debts of good fellow ship and friendship can be paid some time other than on election day.

WARNS BEARDED MEN.
Physician Points Out Extreme I'm
portance of Keeping Whiskers
Free from Dampness.

1T is we'll that old men should
wear boards" said a physician, 'for
when one becomes old one should be
spared the exertion Of daily shaving.
But | would like to issue a warning
to all beard wearers. l would like
to shout Keep your boards dry in
a voice loud enough to be heard
around the world. Were those words
needed many cases of sore throat,
cold and influenza would be avoided
and many deaths would be indefinite-
ly put off.
80 many men with boards neglect,
when they wash their faces, to wipe
their boards dry. A beard a foot
long demands lot of toweling. II
should be toweled after every wash q
good five minutes. Otherwise 1t is
damp. The owner goes about with
this damp thing upon his delicate and
sensitive throat. Then, IL he takes
tonsilitis or influenza, he blames the
American climate. There are too
many damp boards among us. Too
many men, washing their faces three
or four times a day, have their boards
damp and clammy a good three hours

refractory convicts. The prisoners
were confined in underground cav
ems, shafts and chambers of an aban-
doned copper mine. You may to-day
travel down a tortuous path to these
one-time prison cells, where, 70 feet
below the surface, manacled prisoners
were crowded at night; their feet
fastened with heavy iron bars, chains
about their necks attached to beams
above. The caves reeked with filth;
contagious fevers were incessant. The
keeper was allowed to punish by fog
ging, putting on shackles and letters,
the treadmill solitary confinement
and putting in the stocks, double and
treble sets of irons, hanging by the
heels, and other methods that seem
far removed from criminalist views
of the present.
But let us turn from the horrors
and inhumanities of the past to the
work for betterment. In the work of
prison reform in the United States
four great organizations have done
much to hasten progress: The Phil
adelphia Society for Alternating the
Miseries of Public Prisons, formed In
TIT; the Boston Prison Discipline So
ciety, organized in 1924; the Prison
Association of New York; the Ma
tional Prison Association of America.
And, as DR.. Wines says, yeoman serv-
ice has been rendered by individuals.
Barrows, in summing up the most
important indications of progress in
penology in. the past century, gives
the following points: % The higher
standard of prison construction and
administration; (2) the improved
personnel in prison management; (3)
the recognition Of labor as dis
ciplinary and reformatory agent; "a
substitution of productive for unpro-
ductiye labor, and to a small degree
for unrequited labor; (5) an improve
ment in prison dietaries; (6) newer
and better systems of classification;
Cd the substitution Of reformatory
for a retributory system; (8) proba-
ton or conditional release for first
offenders, with friendly surveillance;
| (9) the parole system; (10) the Ber
tillon system for Identification of
prisoners; (11) the new attention
given to the study Of the criminal,
his environment and history; CID
separation of accidental from habitual
criminals; (13) the abandonment Of
transportation; (14) the humane
treatment Of the criminal insane;
(15) the new emphasis laid upon pre-
ventive instead Of punitive, or mere.
ly corrective, measures.

CARRY SMALLER BIRDS.
Eminent ornithologist Asserts Larger,
Species Assist Smaller in Their .
Annual Migrations.

1t was an opinion held by many
in ancient times that small birds in
migrating were often carried on the
backs of the larger. In Egypt, for
example, it was held that wagtails
were thus carried by storks. And
many years ago Swedish naturalist,
Hedenborg. made some remarkable OBJ
servations ON the subject. During the
arrival of the flights of storks at
Rhodes from oversee, Hedenborg fire.
quently heard the voices of singing
birds without being able to see them.
At last, after careful observation,
when flight of storks had just alight-
ed, he saw that they had small birds
perched on their backs. The writer
of recent book, "Recreations of a
Naturalist" Mr.. J. E. Harting, has
some interesting remarks on this SUBJ
ject Most ornithologists probably
regard the idea as a myth, but Mr..
Harting's remarks seem to admit q
possibility that there may be some
truth In it.

hope for reform in a goodly per cent.
of men under their care, the reforma-
tive aspect of prison life should loom
large. Formerly the idea of punish
ment dominated. To-day the pris-
oner Is deprived of opportunities for
self-indulgence, but is given what he
needs for self-development. He is not
punished for what he has been; he
is to prove by labor, study and good
behavior what he may be-"
1t was in 1777 the Englishman, John
Howard, made his famous report on
prisons, calling attention to the fact
that young and old. innocent and
guilty, were shut up together and in
idleness. Very soon England set to
work at reforms in prison conditions,
and has since continued at the task.
Experience in the world at large has
shown that stringent laws and severe
punishments do not lessen crime. At
one time there was score Of crimes

Send your pistols after them, good
highwayman!" wheezed the figure on

with both pistols, so that the rogues
might have real fun for their money.

Fruit Cure for Drinking Habit.

There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
In eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case of inebriety that ever at
,fiicted a person. 1t will entirely de-
stroy the taste for intoxicants and wi, 1
make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes of his childhood.
No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an APP
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other.
and there is no room for both OF. them
in the same human constitution. One
will surely destroy the other.

MGod Save the Mark. y

When the phrase God save the
mark" more common in writing than
in oral speech, is used, the reference
is to an old superstition developed in
Ireland. 1t was believed that IL a
person telling of an accident or in
jury to some one who had been hurt
own body or that of his nearer, there
was danger that 1t would be an evil
omen of similar injury So 1t be-
came the practice to ward off such
consequences by exclaiming God
save the mark; that is, avert the
harm threatened.
