PARLIAMENTARY PRISON.
Where Refractory N. P.'s May Be
Locked Up.

1t was reported that. after an all-night
sitting of the house of commons just be-
fore the last session closed. several M. p. s
climbed the Westminster clock tower. In
the course of their expedition they were
shown by the "house" engineer. who
acted as their cicerone. the prison in
which refractory members may be licked
up.
In regard to the punishment of Offend
ing representatives, the house of COM
mons is law unto itself; yet not every
body knows that parliament has a prison
of its own. A very wealthy American
gentleman was on one occasion being
shown over the house. and asked of a
prominent official whether the parlia-
mentary prison was much used. The OFF,
cial said it was not. and, Furthermore.
that offending members were usually
suspended
The parliamentary house of correction
is a model prison. but its accommodation
is very limited, and not more than two
prisoners could be kept in it at one time.
There are two sets Of rooms. one suite
being situated thirty feet UP in the clock
tower. and the other being fifteen feet
higher. The ''cells" consist Of comfort
ably furnished and carpeted sitting apart
ment. measuring nineteen feet by four
teen feet. and two bedrooms. one for the
prisoner and the other for his "jailer."
This official Is the supervisor of badge
messengers. who must be in constant at
tendance to see that the honorable men,
Der under his care makes no attempt to
escape. But the warder not only does the
duty required of such an official: he Is
also the servant Of his prisoner. and has
to act pretty much as his valet.
AS prison life goes the MP. prisoner
has a good time. He may go to rest
when he chooses and rise at any hour
that is most convenient to him. All his
food is supplied by the refreshment de-
partment of the house Of commons. and
a messenger brings up the daily menu in
order that the imprisoned member may
make his own selection. He is required
to pay for his meals. however. and in the
event of his refusing to do so pressure is
applied on his release. usually at the end
of session. through the channel of the
county court prisoner is allowed an
hour and halfs exercise In the morning

TO EXPAND BUSINESS,
What Is Proposed to Be Done in the
City of St. Louis.

A new type of business building is I'M
der way in st. Louis which presents many
practical features never before carried
out on such large scale. and others of
perhaps equal value which have never
been utilized anywhere before
1t is to be called the Buyers Club
building" and it's cost, it is estimated,
will be fully s4.OOO.OOO The building was
promoted and will be financed by H. A.
Vrooman. president of the State Trust
company of ST. Louis, who has erected
some of the largest apartment houses in
that city. The buyers Club building
will occupy the entire block bounded by
l'th 18th. Chestnut and Pine streets, a
location within one block of the st. Louis
union station, and a suitable one for all
visitors to the city.
= Its ground area is 234 by 324 feet, and
it will be eighteen stories high. with a
tower extending ten stories above the
building. 1t will be given up entirely to
the display of merchandise. with the ex-
ception of the top floor. which is to be
sumptuously furnished for club purposes
exclusively for visiting buyers conven-
ton delegates. etc, and the tower, which
will contain offices. The club floor will
comprise a convention ha... with COM
mittee rooms. etc. the use of which will
be given free. together with all the club
privileges. to all visiting buyers and to
conventions where delegates ara in q DO
sition to buy goods or influence their
purchase.
The first floor will be devoted to gen.
eral display. demonstration and adver-
Using purposes. The basement to DEM
onstrating machinery. engines. tools. etc.
with provision for power of every nature.
Sixteen floors wifi be used exclusively
for sample rooms
The most important feature the Buyers
Club presents is the plan for bringing
the buyer to the seller. The fare of TO-
NO buyers will be paid to ST. Louis twice
annually by the building company. and
the exhibitors will choose the buyers who
are to be brought Special trains will be
hired by the company and run from dis
tant points where dealers from a con-
siderable radius can be gathered. The
building is designed to extend the terri
tory st. Louis supplies. so that exhib-
itors will enjoy not only the immense
trade of the southwest which now CEN
tiers In st. Louis. but that of all the CEN
limited amount of space will be leased to
each exhibitor, so that the exhibits may
be sufficiently comprehensive to attract
the best classes of buyers from great
distances.
club bulletin will be published month
ly and sent to over 100MW retail buyers
A close organization of all the retailers
in the central and southern states will
be promoted by the club management
and extensive plans for The benefit of
the various. retailers are under way.

HEALTH AND ROADS.
influence Of the One on the Other
Pointed Out.

From the Architects and Builders Journal.
That there is an analogy in cleanliness
and goodness is a, fixed belief in the minds
of many; that there should be a relation
between good roads, health and morals
may not be obvious to those who view
conditions specifically. but that such a
relationship exists we have it on no less
an authority than DIR. Allerton S. Cush-
public roads of the United States Depart
,ment of Agriculture. In an address re-
Gently delivered the doctor asserted that
whenever he travelled over a good road
ne saw the children invariably we'll cared
for, and where bad roads existed the chill
dren were usually neglected, unkempt and
unwashed.
Assuming that the doctors observations
are sustained by facts which generally
prevail bad roads are menace to the fu-
ture, for neglected children do not de-
velop into good citizens. and poor citizens
make a bad community, which is a detri-
ment and a hindrance to civilized prog
ress. We all know that bad roads are a
drawback to the development of a sec
ton, and that about the first thing an
up-to-date real estate company does. when
1t Is about to open up new tract, is to
make good roads in the vicinity or repair
the old ones if there are any.
Good roads enhance the value of prop
erty, and this is true whether it be ur-
ban, suburban or rural. That bad roads
should have a bearing upon the appear
ance and habits of people living adjacent
to them is not so strange. perhaps. when
it Is considered that they wage an eternal
warfare with the dust which is swept up
by every wind. There is drearness, a
desoation which produce more or less
depressing effect on those who dwell with
in their influence. This dust is not only
Injurious to health, but to fruit and other
products.
This was demonstrated to orange grow
ers of California few years ago, when
1t was found that the dust from the roads
covered the fruit and caused a deteriora-
ton in value. They remedied the evil by
removing the cause by Oiling the roads
with petroleum. which. after the volatile
portion had evaporated, left an asphaltum
as binder. From this came the practice
of oiling the roads as a remedy against
dust although the east is not so we'll
adapted for the purpose. owing to the pro-
portion OF greasy residue which does not
adhere as the asphaltum does, and is
picked up and scattered by the passing
traffic
There are no obtainable statistics of
sickness and death caused by the dust
from the roads, but If there were the
exhibit would doubtless be alarming.
That it is dangerous to health is admitted,
and if. as the doctors say. dust is dirt and
dirt brings disease. and disease means
DEATH the abatement of this evil is a
matter of public concern, and dusty roads
should have no place in our national
economics.
