EXPATIATES FOR CHIGGERs

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 14.-If Il
bath in hot water or In water contain
ing salt or strong soap, is taken within
a few hours after ordinary exposure
in shrubbery and weeds infested with
"chiggers," or red bugs" no Ill eff
fects will be experienced. After long
exposure, however, a bath has practf-
cally no effect, and direct remedies are
Necessary.
After irritation has set in and small
red spots appear, the application of a
moderately strong solution of ammonia
to the affected parts is recommended
by the Department of Agriculture's en-
tomologist. A supersaturated solution
Of bicarbonat of soda, or common
cooking soda or saleratus, will afford
relief. Liberal applications sould be
made until the irritation subsidies. If
the suffering is severe, a dilute tine
ture of iodine or collodien should be
lightly applied.

FEDERAL PRISON At At
LANTl PROL0AGs LIFE

ATLANTA, June 14.-Instead of de-
priving a man of the time he spends
there serving a sentence, the United
States prison in Atlanta is such
wholesome and thoroughly beneficial
place to live it prolongs the life OF a
prisoner and more than compensates
for the term of his sentence, unless, of
course, it be prisoner who serves for
life.
At least that is the verdict of old
man David Esaacson, who went into
the prison at the age of rs years, and
feeling as old as his years, and came
otu at the age of rs, but feeling like
man of So
1t was for some trifling infraction of
the federal laws regarding the use of
the mails that old man Esaacson was
sentenced to serve a year. He never
cutie understood what he had done to
violate the law, and when the prison
DORIS closed behind him the old man
declared he would never come out
alive. The authorities had shown their
confidence in him by sending him from
Hoston to Atlanta all by himself, his
own prisoner conducting himself to
tic penitentiary.
But now the old mans sentence has
been served, the prison gates have
closed behind him again, and once
more he breathes the free air of his
country.
Il added 25 years to my life in
there" the old man told newspaper
friend who saw him enter. "They ell
ected me the Prisoners Friend, and
now I'm going to devote myself to
helping them"

and torture the victims Of the old days really stood
In those days witnesses were legally tortured; men
and women were tortured for confessions; honest
and devout souls tortured to make them abjure
their faith. So common was torture, and so deeply
entrenched it in law and gospel that the making
of torturing machines became great industry, and
the man who could invent and sonstruct an instru-
ment that would inflict the most refined pain and
yet keep the victim alive for still more and more
suffering was accorded the highest honor and profit
These machines were honored with such names as
the Collar of Tortue" "the Maiden" the "Widow,"
the "Virgin and the Rack" They were deli
cately constructed that they could search every
nerve and every bone and by manipulation play upon
them until the victim would sweat blood.
