THE PENITENTIARY COMNIS
 SION.

The wisdom of managing the Ar kansas penitentiary by a commission chosen to devote it's entire time to that purpose is clearly demonstrated by the biennial report of the institu- tion which was recently issued. The penitentiary, it will be remembered, was formerly under the control of a commission composed of the gover- nor, auditor secretary of state, treas urer and commissioner of agriculture. During his administration Governor Donaghey strongly favored the es- tablishment of a separate commission and this was one of the matters for which the extra legislative session of 1911 was called, but 1t was not until the session of 1913 that the plan was adopted.
 The report referred to shows that the penitentiary is not only selfsus- taining, but that it has quick and con- vertible assets, consisting mainly of unsold cotton, in it's possession to the value of $126,14779. Against this there are outstanding claims, pay ment of which has been deferred in order to hold the cotton, amounting to $89, ,599.40 leaving clear balance of stand, has been more than doubled since the report was completed by ad- ditional cotton gathered and ginned.
 Since the prohibition against leas- ing convicts has been effective all prisoners are now employed at the state farm at Cummins, with the eX- ception of small number at the rwalls" near Little Rock. The sani- tary conditions at the farm have been SO greatly improved that the health of the convicts is said to compare fav- orably with that of any community in the state. The death rate for the past year was only two and three tenths per cent, being slightly less than two per cent for the white pris- oners and slightly over two per cent for the negro prisoners.
 The editor of this paper recently visited at the walls of the new pen itentiary and was shown through the buildings and grounds by the com missioners, Messrs. J. V. Ferguson, J A. Bradsher and T. P. Murrey. Ev- erything about the Institution pre- sents a remarkable contrast with the old penitentiary, which formerly 'oc- cupied the site of the new state cap itol. The buildings are clean, com modious, well lighted and ventilated and as clean as the proverbial Dutch housewife's kitchen. About the of fees there is an air of business and systematic management which at once impresses the visitor. The pris- oners are well clothed and fed, and if there is any physical suffering at tached to their confinement it is not apparent. The same sanitary and business-like conditions are said to exist at the state farm, and it is stat ed that corporal punishment has practically been abandoned, while es- capes are becoming very rare.
 The success of the penitentiary commission is a strong argument for

The Sisters of. Christian Charity, s3r Charles St., LuzeTne, Pa, who attend many cases of sickness say of them:
 some time ago we began using Dr. Miles Lar7 th= Tablets and find that we like them very much Their acton Is excellent and we are grateful for having been made acquainted with tacm- We have had good results in every case and the Sisters are very much pleased"
 The form and flavor of any medi- cine IS very important, no matter who IS to take 1t. The taste and appearance are especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average chIid medicine" even though the taste Is partially dis guised. In using Dr. Niles Lax ative Tablets, however. this diri cuity IS overcome. The shape oi the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at opcc appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection.
 The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children.
