The man stalled out. went to work,
and stayed n year. with time out for
unusual good behavior
But you don't want a story about
Occoquan." said Mr.. Whitaker, when
he had concluded reciting that Incl

would that sort of treatment do
with the long termer who might have
more induCement to eScape?" he was
asked
"It would" he replied "AIl that
Osborne has done at Sing Sing in ap-
pealihg to the pride of men. to their
Self-respect. Will endure. Experience
has proved it.
The long termer will not escape as
readily as the short termer. He knows
that the only way for him to get his
time shortened is to make good with
the officers. Also he knows that the
man who Is running away from pen
itentiary sentence is the worst worried
man alive. His liberty is still cur
tailed, though his prison may be
larger.
Now when YOU erect a thirty foot
wall, and put armed sentinels on top
of it. and place man in a cell, ami
put armed guards around him. you
encourage him to escape. You make it
a matter of pride with him to do So
You are playing a game for him to
beat And he will do his part, and
earn the respect of his fellows for
doing it. When you take all that
away you remove much of the in
ducement for escape. AS one harden
ed old timer said to me:
why, Mr. Whitaker, it amt no
honor to beat this place."
He was q veteran who had made it
point of honor to get out of other
places; he served out his time at Oc-
Coquan."
Though he did not know of tie incl

views. the contention of tie speaker

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, about nine times
out of ten. are due to hyperacidity;
therefore, stomach sufferers should,
whenever possible, avoid eating food
that is acid in its nature, or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
velops acidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as we'll as
those which are rich in blood, flesh,
and nerve building properties. This
is the reason why dyspeptics and
stomach sufferers are usually so thin,
emaciated, and lacking in that vital
energy which can only come from a

to cNCluae from their diet all starchy,

Mr.. Whitaker was loath to discuss
Osborne's administration. beyond the
principles involved. He said he had
little knowledge of the conduct OF Sing
Sing beyond newspaper reports.
But one condition. IL true he said,
may shed some light on the cause of

that money could buy. They received
gifts from their friends. Naturally when
the rest saw the luxuries these men
were having they grew. sore.

Recreations, baseball games like those
at Sing Sing. clubs. reading. musicalcs.
concerts.s and all entertainments have
value in the rehabilitation of the prt-
soner Mr.. Whitaker believes. They
all form a part of the normal life which
, it is the part of the prison to encourage.
But Mr.. Whittakers belief is that the
chief factor in bringing prisoner back
to the standards of good citizenship Is
hard, honest work.
There are times. though" he con-
| cluded, when. because you are dealing
with abnormal men, you must use alb
normal measures. That is why do not
permit men to talk at meals at Occo-
guam. The kind of talk they indulge in
at meal time is not conducive to good
| morals. and the same might be true at
4 times in penitentiaries.
No warden likes to use force. But
