PRISON CHAPEL DEDICATED- REV. MICHAEL J. BYRNE, CHAPLI
Priest From Norwich upIifts and En- courages Convicts in Bib Federal h. stitution at Atlanta.

The Federal Prison in Atlanta, Ga, is a small city in itself, as the follow ing census from Good Words, the prison newspaper for May indicates:
 From April 1 to April 20, 1918, in elusive: Received 134: discharged-by expiration of sentence 65; transferred II; present population 1888; last reg to other institutions 2 paroled g; died ister No. S316.
 In this prison Rev. Michael J. Byrne, of Norwich. who was stationed at the cathedral parish in Savannah up to a year ago. but $ now resident chaplain at the prison. has succeeded in hay ing a new chapel built. The ceremo- nies at it's recent dedication are de- scribe1 by one of the prisoners in a gripping, touching narration. which is signed merely "J. F. B." but which gives glimpses of the good influence which the Norwich priest is exerting upon the men whose misfortune or m;sdeeds have condemned them to ex- istence behind prison walls. Accom- panying the appealingly told story is a cut of the Venerable Bishop Benjamin l Kelley, of Savannah.

Who Saves the
 Most Wool?

Jones buys a cotton mixed suit; pays $20. for it. It looks pretty good at first but in a few weeks it's all out of shape and wearing poorly.
 Brown buys one of our All-Wool $50. Suits. When Jones' suit is worn out Browns suit is still stylish, good looking and is wearing fine.
 Jones consumes nearly twice as much wool as Brown and a great deal more labor and money, because he has to buy two or three suits to Browns one.
 Save wool and your own money by buying one of our Suits at $27.5O to S35.
