Resuming the Lockstep

The Ohio State Journal daily reprints an item
of news published thirty years ago. Recently it
printed an item detailing the resumption of the
lockstep in the Ohio state penitentiary, which
evidently had been abandoned shortly before the
item was printed. The clipping, contrasted with
methods today, indicates how great has been the
change of attitude toward the penal problem in
the last few decades. Says the Journal in 1886:
The men from the Hayden's and Patton's
foundries in the penitentiary were put back to
the lockstep in marching last night. Each COM
pany was made to stand in column, every man
with his right hand on the shoulder of the con-
vict in front of him, and to march close together
in single file This is an experiment and all the
prisoners will not be put back to the lock-step un-
less the board is convinced that it will be for the
best interests of the institution. The officers of
the pententiary are very much in favor of this
manner of marching, as it keeps the prisoners
close together, compels them to step together and
hurry through the yard The experiment last
night made them more favorably inclined than
ever to the lock-step

Defeat the Remonstrance

The remonstrance which is being circulated
against the road improvements in the southern
part of the city ought be defeated. Residents
ought refuse to put their signature to the instru-
ment. The south side is entitled to good roads
and there is absolutely no reason why they
should be prevented from having them. The
north, eastend west approaches to the city have
been improved with good roadways, why should
the south side feel the discrimination?
In recent years number of valuable factor
les have been constructed in the south side. Ow-
ing to bad roads last winter, number of them
were greatly handicapped in hauling material to
and from the concerns. The citizens of Rich
mond need not raise large factory fund to bring
in new concerns if the old concerns are not pro-
vided with decent approaches. The factories in
the south side are entitled to good roads, and
some of the men who are passing around the re-
monstrances ought look careful to see if they are
not cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
The South Side Improvement association has
worked for many years to establish a factory

BY EDGAR IIIEE.

Our diplomatic and consular service
has SO declined in efficiency in the
last four years that we have become
the object of ridicule the world over
Very important places are filed to
pay political debts with no thought of
the htness OF the person appointed or
OF the peculiar mentality and different
language of the people to whom we
send our agents.
In no country has the law of fitness
been more outraged than in Mexico.
The Latin or Spanish people are very
polite and their modes of thought are
quite different from ours. They can't
understand the quick and preemptory
ways of the American. Neither can
the unframed American appreciate
that proud, sombre, dreamy and some
times gloomy attitude of the mixed
Aztec and Spanish bloods.
Well Fitted for Post.
Henry Lane Wilson, our ambassa-
dor to Mexico, had gathered much ex-
perience in Mexican diplomacy and
was we'll fitted for the place in the
troublous times that followed the over
throw and expulsion of President
Diaz. But he was recalled by Presi-
dent Wilson just when he was most
needed and his embassy left in the
hands of Nelson O'Shaughnessy.
Let us go back a little. The So
cialist party in the United States had
been for years melting the poor and
ignorant in Mexico to rise and crush
the government of Diaz. At, last, at
the fatal hour, that government was
overthrown. Diaz met his cabinet.
The Socialists, led by Madero, with
the cry, land for the landless," and
down with the tyrant," were pressing
hard the brave old soldier who had
held Mexican lawlessness in check for
thirty years and was leading his coun-
try to great place among the nations
of the earth. An aching tooth wor-
ried him. He asked the cabinet to
excuse him while he had the tooth
extracted. The dentist used an I'M
clean instrument. In an hour the
presidents cheek had swollen to a
grotesque size. Fatigue had weak

set in. In weak moment he resigned

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TIA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with simple mix
ture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays. though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents a bottle 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. 1t
is not intended for the cure. mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.

Says Simple Remedy

DR. CadweII's Syrup Pepsin Effective
as Remedy for Con-
stipationI

Among older people the various or
,gans OF the body have a tendency to
SLOW up and weaken, and this is usual
ly first manifest in pronounced in
activity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regu-
larity in this important function !;
whenever there is the slightest indica-
ton of constipation a mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the conges-
ton and dispose of the accumulated
waste. Cathartics or purgatives
should not be employed, however;
these are too violent in action and
their effect is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combin-
alton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle in its action, bringing relief in
an easy natural manner, without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort, is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ

Among the results held here is
that the Anglo-French advance

had nearly two years to prepare has

the Germans have gained at Verdun

FORCES OF RUSSIANS
OUTNUMBER AUSTR1ANS


AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS, via
Berlin to London, July ., 1928 a. m.
The retirement of the northern and
southern wings of the Austro-Ger-
man army south of the Pripet marsh
es was due to the superiority OF the
Russian forces, attended by the
throwing in of fresh forces and the
massing of attacks upon attack re-
gardless of losses.
Spurred on by the success Of Cen
eral Bosmor's troops south Of the
Dniester, on the Tlumach front, the
Russians brought up new troops to
both sides of the Dniester steadily
for three days, and succeeded in stop
ping General Won Bothmer east Of the
Tlumach. forcing him to abandon the
lower course of the strip. The new
line to which the Austro-German
forces retired follows the course of
two brooks flowing into the Dniester
from the north and the south about
twelve miles west OF the strip-a-river.
This distance represents the Russian
gains.
Heaviest Fighting.
The heaviest fighting in this Sec
ton occurred west of Kolome, where
the Russians are evidently trying to
drive breach between the armies Of
General Won Bothmer and General
Planzer, and to isolate the latter. All
their onslaughts were repulsed.
On the northern flank just south of
the Pripet marshes, the Russians for
days have been throwing in fresh
troops in an attempt to cut off the

BRITISHERS AT HOME
ARE WELL SATISFIED

LONDON, July 9.-12:4S a. M
The remarkable calmness and stynou-
ism the British have maintained
throughout the war have been pre-
served during the week in which the
new British army emerged from the
strain and monotony Of trench war
fare to engage in a violent battle.
If the news and the demeanor Of the
people are taken as the gauge, the
country is satisfied with the progress
made. 1t is more than satisfied with
the conduct of the softened soldiers
who we're pitted against the most
seasoned veterans Of Germany.
There is no expectation Of sudden
or sensational victories, no illusions
regarding the heavy tOle Ot NYes Of
