NOTICED BALD SPOT
COMING ON HEAD
Interesting Storyof ConsuItationwith
Dermatologist and Successful Use
of Cuticura. Also Case of Severe
Ivy Poisoning, Relief of Which by
Cuticura was Permanent.

Nine years ago noticed q bald spot
pming on my head and, as / was only
nineteen years old, it did not seem
natural, as it was on the side of my
head instead Of on top. Ny mother
advised my seeing q dermatologist and
/ did so, one Of the best in Boston, and
he said it was due to a germ I must
have got at the BARRIERS. He couldn't
assure cure, but by treating each hair
separately by electricity, he said, the
hair might come out white OF gray. Il
it came out at all. He proposed giving
me treatment every month for six
months at ten dollars a treatment.
When ! told my mother she advised
using Cuticura and this I did, using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment every day.
In two months my hair commenced to
grow, and in six months one would
never have known there had been any
trouble, the hair coming out being black,
the exact shade of my own. I have
never had any trouble since, and feel
/ can't say half enough for Cuticura.
Another member Of our family was
terribly poisoned by poison ivy and
every summer for six years the blisters
came, bursting and causing great suffer
ing. We tried everything recommended
by the best physicians, but With no
good result. Finally we tried Cuticura
and obtained relief in a very short time
which was permanent. She has never
had any trouble since, so Cuticura is
invaluable TO us, you see. G. J. Browne,

Concord, n. H, Nov 3.-No such sit

the Bay state has found on its hands,

other words, the state constitution win

tive and referendum can be adopted.
Senator Robert 2. Bass is the Repub-

is tht Democratic candidate. Both are
good men, and personally there would
be small choice, the decision of the i

The bold idea of allowing prisoners to
go outside the jail alone and work with
out guards upon their honor is in sue
cessful operation today In NerRont. In
1906 the legislature provided that all
male persons imprisoned for certain
minor offences "may be required to per-
form not more than 10 hours of manual
labor within or without the walls of
said county Jail" Afterwards law
was passed that all persons convicted of
crimes for which the imprisonment is
one year or less should serve their time
in these jails.
In our Jail at Montpelier the average
number of prisoners has been about So.
At first no one was willing to employ
them. The first trial made was to use
a small gang to cut bushes and do other
work on property owned by the sheriff.
Those whose term of sentence was short
est were employed and the state was
given so cents per day for their labor.
The trial had poor success. The men
had no interest in their work and hard
ly earned the small sum allowed the
commonwealth
Aftenward a small number were en-
ployed on the water system of the city
at 81 per day which was turned over
to the state for the law provides that
'fthe proceeds of such labor if any, shall
be applied in payment of materials and
tools furnished and any balance
left shall be turned over to the state
treasury" This was almost a failure
because the men did as little as possible.
Give Them Part of Earnings.
Finally we hit uDon the idea of giving
the men a part of their earnings and
trying the honor system. For three
years the state has taken 81 per day
for the service of these men and has
allowed them the balance of what they
been s175 which gives each man 70
cents for his own use The prisoners
go to their work unguarded being placed
entirely on their honor. During the
time over 700 different men have been
sent out to work and only two have
attempted to escape. One was captured
in another state after months of liberty
and both served sentences for prison
breach.
Demand Exceeds Supply.
For two years We have often been I'M |
able to furnish the men needed bv |
farmers, contractors and for common |
abor. Often we have had 20 men work |
ing at perhaps 20 different places. |
Prison officials sometimes allow group. |
IF convicts to work without guards, but |
.he fact that others are present acts to /
letter any that might think of escaping.
Very many of our men work absolutely |
~ themselves. They have always worn |
plain clothing with nothing to distin-
yuish them from the ordinary laborer.
Occasionally men have become intoxi-
ated while out working. In every case
'harges have been brought against them
md they have served time for the Of
ence.
Scheme Pays County
Since 1906 the proceeds turned into

county for prison labor have exceeded
the combined total of the other 19
counties. The sum paid to the state
from this county has increased five fold
within three years.
The real benefit has come from the
fact that men have had a chance to
nelp themselves and their families. As
a rule they save their money to help
those dependent upon them at home. In
this way the force of the misfortune
has been somewhat tempered to their
families which have been enabled to
buy food and clothing
The. policy of trusting the men has
won their confidence for they do not
feel that We are eager to show our au-
thorlty by ferreting out the least in
fraction OF prison discipline. Our. eff
forts to make their imprisonment a
little less hard are appreciated. We
learn some of the causes which led to
their confinement. In many instances
by inspiring confidence in discouraged
men we have helped them to turn over
new leaf
Let Tenn See the Circus.
Some time ago Forepaugh & Sails
Brothers circus exhibited in Montpelier.
There was no work that day for II
men. We purchased circus tickets far
them and allowed them to 90 without
an escort. Some had long terms to
serve and the crowd and darkness fur
nished an excellent opportunity for es-
cape. Fifteen minutes after the per.
formance was over every one was back.
Trust a man in this way and he repavs
the faith placed in him and shows his
thanks by better work and by frank
ness instead of sullenness toward the
jail officials
fused the chance to go outside and work
Many who were serving a sentence of
year have been trusted in this way.
One man who is serving a sentence for
jail breaking and who was caught in
Massachusetts after search of six
months, goes to his work daily without
any restraint save conscience.
Everyone Must Work.
Every man has to do laborer's work
no matter what his occupation has be en-
or is. Although this is one of the
strongest labor sections in New England
we have had no trouble on that account.
Part of the reason is that the men in
order to have as much money as pos
sible for themselves over and above the
amount paid to the state do not under
bid the ordinary labor market which is
the reason why in many states there is
such bitter objection to copvict labor
The plan we have tried has been for
tunate enough to attract attention
the state and even beyond
it's borders. AS the governor of Yer
mont has often commended the work.
the method by which we have tried to
help prisoners to help themselves is
quite likely to be followed more extern
sivelv in this state. We have not tried
for financial success in this work but
with the hope that unfortunate men who
have almost lost their grin tha lad
Ter might be helped
