Common Sense Penal Treatment.

prisoners as most other cities treat
them-that is, put them in a cell and
let them stay there in idleness. eating
poor food at the expense Of the city

the commission the workhouse has
been made clean and all the prisoners
given work In the open air. The wom-
nm prisoners have been set to work

prisoners are taken outdoors and used

suit is that the city gets the benefit Of

The density Of the cream is one Of
the most important factors in the sue

Thin cream is chiefly responsible for
the abnormal loss Of butterfat and
quality Of butter and hence the. low
price paid the patrons for butterfat.

OSTRAcIZED.

W.
There is a brewer living in one Of
the best neighborhoods in an Ohio city,
says the American Issue. This brewer
has a wife and children and they are
bright and well-behaved. But this fam
fly has no neighbors. It has no neigh
borhood callers. It is let alone. 1t is
as IL the house were quarantined. The
wife and children are oil right, but
they belong to the brewer. The brewer
is all right, too, except for his bust
ness. There is the stumbling block.
The family is ostracized socially be-
cause Of the beer business. Will the
brewer say he is willing to change his
business? He should at least do it for
his family's sake.

Gentlemen:-I take your Weekly |
Journal and I appreciate reading 1t;
to me it is the most interesting pa
per I get. Ny home is near Pensa-
cola, at Muscogee. I enlisted at Mo
bile, in the United States Army, on
August 21, 1916, and am now sta
toned at Fort Hancock, n. J. 1t is
with pleasure that l write to tell you
how much l enjoy life in the army.
! The service is just the place for a
young man who loves his country and
think all young men ought to serve
their country without being drafted.
People little realize what army life
is like. Some thirk it is hard, but
| want to tell you that it is the best
thing for a young man. 1t fits man
| for most any line of work he may
care to take up, in civilian life. Be
! iieve me it is something great. wish
some of my old friends back home
would just try and see for themselves
what a real man the army will make
| of them. 1t teaches them to do
things they would never think they
could do; and when they finish their
term of enlistment, or at the expira-
ton of the war they will be ready to
serve this great country of ours Of
which we are so proud. I am glad
/ enlisted when and where | did, in
the grand old state of Alabama.
I appeal to the home boys. Why
wait until drafted Don't do that,
come ahead and enlist and render
Uncle Sam service. You will never
be sorry that you did Just think
what our forefathers did for US! And
besides it looks like you don't want
to defend your country. If the coun-
trv did not want you, they would not
draft you. would like some of you
to write to me and tell me why you
have put 1t OF so long CoHle Oh
boys and let US show the old folks
that we are real men and ready al
all times to defend this great country
of ours. I think it would be a very
good thing for Congress to pass a law
forcing all young men, at the age o.
eighteen to enlist for at least one
year in the service.
