PRISONERS MUST WORK.

On and after Monday. February 1,
all county prisoners serving sentences
must work. Arrangements have been
made TO place them on either the pub
lie roads or the court house grounds
where they will be kept at work under
guard Either place will be bene-
fetal to the county. The court house
grounds must he graded and made
more presentsble. and an easier ap-
proach made to same II the word
can be done by the prisoners saving
Of many dollars will be made TO the
county.
There are now 10 prisoners in Jail
suojset TO enlistment in the gang -
Pawhusks Capital.
We have wondered for long time
why some means were not employed
to put prisoners At work who are com
mitted to the county Jail here and liv-
ing of the county. We we're not Just
certain whether this could be done
lawfully or not but. il such il the case,
IL looks like IL might be pretty good
thing II the proper officials Of Beaver
countyswould take some such step and
thus make the county jail less desir-
able place for law violators. In the
past, those convicted of crime or those
held over TO await trial and being un-
able or not desiring to give bond, have
spent their time in the county jail
without being called upon 60 perform
labor OF any kind. They have been
treated like gentlemen OF leisure and
~ good or better board than i. enjoyed
10y the average working-man furnished
them Many have enjoyed the free
dom OF the corridors Of the jail and the
basement OF the court house. Some
have even been permitted TO roam at
will about the court house ard grounds
and even go about town. In our opin-
ion. this Is not making jail sentence
very distasteful TO them and there are
those, who lacking in self-respect and
feeling no sense of shame would prefer
breaking into Jail" under such oondi-
tioas and thus secure comfortable
board and lodging at the expense OF
the county rather than To put forth an
honest effort TO make a living for them
selves or family
There is vast amount OF work that
prisoners could do on the court house
grounds and adjacent streets and ~
there is any way to do IL, they ought
to be put TO work
The fact OF the matter is, Beaver
county prisoners fare b .er than the
average law abiding citizen OF the
county and this should not be so. 1t
ia not an iufrequent occurrence to note
in the commissioners proceedings such
bills allowed as these.
Laundry for prisoners
Tobacco for prisoners" Cand lots
Of
Shaving prisoners"
Board for prisoners" (frst-class
table board.)
While all these things are being paid
for by the county, the prisoners are
loupging around in Jail doing nothing.
II they need shaving, let them do it.

application for a burn or sealds says
a physician writing in the pelireator,
Is carron oil. This preparation vi

water should he kept always at hand
when there are young children about.
When child receives a burn or scald,
shake the bottle Of carron oil thor
oughly. then sa9urate some lint.
gauze or muslin with it and put on
the burned surface. Secure the dress
ing with oiled silk held on by band
age. for the oil is very greasy and
penetrating, and without the oiled silk
covering will soil the child's clothing
1t is not advisable or
necessary TO wash off the burned sur
face before applying this dressing.
The flame or hot fluid has cieansed
as IL burned. All burned surfaces
should be handased loosely and re-
dressed every day. All blisters should
be opened with sterilized scissors
Clean olive oil or vaseiine are good
substitutes for the carron oil
If child's clothing catches fire. put
the child upside down at once. Flames
