REGARD PRISON AS HOTEL
English Veterans In Crime Find De- gree of Comfort In Incarceration
 In Their Declining Days.

Prison hotels, where habitual crim- lnals are housed, are being made so comfortable in England nowadays that offenders who have spent their lives In criminal pursuits and have reached the retiring age are now adopting the custom of committing serious crimes when they arrive at the age of sixty or whereabouts in order that they may pass their remaining years in the peaceful precincts of the prison hotel
 One of these institutions is now in the course of building at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, and soon will be oc- cupied by some 70 or so aged convicts, who have become priv ileged prisoners under the scheme originated by Winston Churchill few years ago, says the New York Trib- une's correspondent.
 The old brigade" have mostly very light indoor or outdoor work in asso- citation. They are permitted to talk to each other. They are allowed an arm chair and bedstead in their cells, as well as religious and other periodicals, and where chewing Is difficult, owing to loss of teeth, minced meat and beef tea are included in the dietary.
 The conditions of these worn out veterans of crime have been very considerably ameliorated and the vast majority of them are keenly alive to the fact says the prison chaplain in his last report. They are grumbrers. as matter of course, but grumbling, after all, hurts no one, and is, more over a safety valve of some value.
 So satisfied are the greater number that l am afraid many of them will return to penal servitude on purpose to end their days in comfort and clean liness. One man more than eighty years old told me on his discharge that he could not earn a living, he would not go to the union. and he in- tended to come back here. He was set at liberty on January l and was reconyicted within few days.
 Another man who had served a long sentence returned recently"

HEAD FULL OF DANDRUFF

1902 Reynolds & 34th St., Savannah, Ga.-"My head began to get sore and all around the edges got white with the disease until was quite scared. l thought all my hair would drop out. It came out by handfuls, and my head itched so I nearly scratched the skin of. It was full of dandruff which showed plainly in my hair. I also had trouble with my hand. It peeled every time I put it in water, and 1t was so badly disfigured that every body noticed 1t and asked me what 1t was. It was red, and burned awfully.
 My mother tried several things but they were unsuccessful, and it seemed as if nothing did 1t any good until started to use Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment It had lasted about four weeks, but then 1t started getting we'll and my hair stopped falling completely. Now 1t Is cured. My hair Is now nice and thick and Is growing to a nice length. also used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hand and com- pletely cured it." (Signed) Miss Hattie M.

 Based or Health
To Hdpe Health, BoWel Movement is Absolutely NeceSSdry-HoW Best
 to Obtain 1t

If womans beauty depended upon cosmetics every woman would be picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels.
 The headaches, the lassitude, the sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitually con duce to this trouble They do not eat carefully they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be 1t is important that the condition should be corrected
 An ideal remedy for women, and one especially suited to their delicate re- quirements, is pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of women en- dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker, 1041 West Monroe St, Chicago, testi- fles that she is "cured of grave stom- ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup Pepsin and without the aid of a doc tor or any other medicine" All the family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou sands of mothers give 1t to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the requirements of elderly people. n fact to all who by reason of age or nf1rmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca- thartics, pills or purgatives. These should always be avoided for at best their effect is only for that dav, while
