and I believe in giving them all the time
possible for healthy acknowledgment.
The men are now permitted to assemble in
the yard after work each day This assures
better general health, and a lesser degree of
unrest.
We have established a prisoners court.
The court consists of five prisoners selected
or elected by their fellows. All violations
of the prison rules are heard by this court,
and any prisoner who is not at work may
attend court. Under the old system an in
fraction of the prison rules meant that the
offender would be subjected to a star-eham-
Der hearing before the principal keeper and
arbitrarily punished. OF course in nine
cases out of ten the offender cried that he
had not got square deal, thus gaining the
sympathy of the rest of the inmates In
other words, unruly prisoners were either
pitied or else looked upon as martyrs, II not
heroes. by their fellows. At present, owing
to the fact that the evidence Is presented
weighed, passed upon. and the sentence im-
posed in public. the offender gets scant sym
pathy il convicted, and If acquitted he and
every one else knows that justice has been
done.
Additional TO the prisoners court there Is
the wardens court or court OF appeal Any
case may be appealed, even cases where the
accused Is acquitted. The warden has a rep
resentative In court for the purpose Of ap-
pealing II he thinks the prisoners court has
bekn either too lenlent or too severe. The
wardens court consists OF the warden, the
physician and the principal keeper II Is

Self Help In Case Of Fire.

AS house is never attacked by fire
at the top and bottom at once. If there
is safe and ready exit ut both top
and bottom very little danger to life is
to be feared. 1t is important that all
exits should be so known as to be east
ly found by day Or night by every in
mate of the house. IF the clothes you
have on catch fire blanket. rug or
some such woolen article should be
quickly and tightly wrapped around
you. Air is thus excluded. and the fire
goes out. A small fire in Il room can
often be put out in the same way in
preference to pouring water on It. In
case Of fire keep all doors shut as far
as possible. If n room Is full Of smoke
keep low or crawl. because smoke and
hot air both rise
