clean, well printed, four page
~ paper called Good Words. :"
1t IS published in Atlanta, Georgia,
and one would net have to read it
closely to note the difference between
it and the ordinary four page paper
with which every newspaper Office is
flooded.
There are no names OF editor,
manager nor other ofieer at the
masthead.
There are some splendid articles;
good sound editorials; sparkling
paragraphs; we'll reported baseball
news; several good specially which
prove the writer's to be educated OBJ
servers.
And every author is designated by
number-the paper being issued
from the Federal prison ia Atlanta
There are NO stories of the lives of
the inmates; there are no efforts at
maudlin sentiment; there is no
whining at the unjustness of fate
which has placed any Of the men
where they are.
There is a tone of optimism and
a "Cheer-up, the worst-will- soon-be-
over air to the little paper which
holds ones interest from the first
line Of the first article, to the last
line on page foaT.
Some Of the topics discussed are:
'"The Prison Library; Good Books
of Great Benefit to the Prisoners; Of
Inestimable Value Both Mentally
and Morally"
How many Of us "outside" have
thought Of that? And if you do
think of it now. don't imagine that
tracts, hymn-bootzs, Bibles and takes
Of martyrs are the sort to send for
a prison library. Put yourself ia the
other fellows place. and imagine the
sort of book yosa'd like to read if you
were ''sent up" for a matter of
dozen years or so.
Another article is '"Co-Operation
Necessary to Alleviate the Distress
OF the Discharged Prisoner
And there is another opportunity
for lot OF deep and earnest think
ing.
All criminals are, in the eyes Of
the law, where they have been
caught with Or without the goods}
criminals. Their punishment is the
eXaction demanded by the society
against which they have offended,
and when their punishment has been
inflicted, the Law is willing to give
them another chance in the world,
but Society won't, as a rule, if it
can help it.
Just as there are the two distinct
types Of childTen-those who resent
punishment for naughtiness, and
those who are repentant and
anxious to ''be good"-so there are
the two distinct types OF men re-
leased from our prisons, and the pity
Of it is, we interest ourselves so lit
tie in either. It isn't 50 much by
the grace Of God that there are SO
few criminals, in comparison with
our population, as it is by the Gun
ming way many OF US have for hiding
what we d0-and little Self-argu-
ment along this lfne should develop
Willingness to cooperate with and
alleviate the plight Of the man who
has been caught, and punished.

there are sixteen Americans, four
Italians, three Irishmen, two In
dams, two Hebrews, two English
men, one German and one French
man in the orchestra, and pride is

movement OF its kind in the world.
When tuberculosis shall have become a
rare disease, the American press may
Justly claim large share in the gigantic
achievement
While it is not likely that the news
papers of the country viii take to them
selves amy general credit for the work,
| it nevertheless is certain that the news
papers are the chief vehicles for The
spreading Of knowledge about the dis.
ease and its prevention and its cure.
Because of the frequency of the visits to
the homes and to the fact that the
American public is greatly given to the
habit of reading the newspapers, the
public press is commissioned to engage
in this work in a way that no other
agency can equal. The supporters OF
the anti-tuberculosis movement in the
United States can hit more people
through one issue of the ordinary small
newspaper than it could hope to reach
in score Of public addresses. And
without exception probably, the news
papers are willing, and anxious, to CO.
operate with the nationat society as far
as possible. For its part, The Times is
pleased to do what it is able toward
aiding in the anti-tuberculosis fight in
its particular field Of circulation.

former Barre man:
"Perciyal Bennett, foreman OF the tub-
ing department of the Liberty Manufac.

a arrow escape from serious injury AMI
possible death Wednesday, when por-
tion of his clothing got caught in the
betting OF machine and he was dragged
to the shafting. Only the rare pres
ence of mind OF the foreman prevented
his leg from being drawn into the ma
chine.
Mr.. Bennett was starting one Of the
machines in his department when his
clothing became caught in the betting
In an instant he was lifted bodily and
carried up to the shafting Retaining
his presence OF mind he grasped a 4
brace beam near the shaft and held on
for dear life until the pressure Of the
betting had stripped all the clothing from
his right leg from the hip down He
was then able to drop to the floor and
receive the congratulations OF his fellow
workers.
Mr.. Bennett was formerly sergeant
of the 18TH Co. c. A. c., u. S. A.,

The snow covers a lot of filth and

gone now and the filth and waste paper

it. Such action should be prompted by
