the church, and Dr. E. B. Jackson, the
pastor, paid the boys an enthusiastic
eulogy after the presentation of the
prizes. The boys are known as

Occ0quan
Our Reporter Interviews Assistant
Superintendent Green

One of the Gazette's reporters was
assigned to the District of Columbia
Work House at Occoquan the othet
day-no, not for boot-legglng, but
in the eyes of some people, for a
crime far more serious, curiosity.
He walked into a nicely furnished
Office and asked for the superlnten-
dent and was told that he was absent,
but that in his absence his assistant
Hugh H. Green was in charge. He
met Mr.. Green, who Immediately IN
vited him to take little walk around
the place.
So out of the back door of the office
they went and at once found them
selves in the midst of a group of farm
buildings suitable for Il farm of 200
acres-which this is, at present en-
ploying about go hands for whom no
weekly or monthly payroll must be
made. These inmates were attend
ing TO their various tasks as uncon-
cernedly and as happily as if they
were drawing down theirs every Sat
urday night. The seeming freedom of
these people gave rise to question
in the mind of the reporter. Don't
you have lot Of escapes around here,
and where are the guards" ," he asked.
49," replied Mr.. Green, I'VE have a
few escapes now and then. but as a
general thing the men don't run much.
You see we treat them so we'll that
there is no reason for them to try to
escape. Besides there are guards-we
employ about forty-four guards
twenty on guard when the men are
working. and twelve StaMd guard on
each Of the two shifts when the men
are eating and sleeping
They then stepped into the rccrea-
ton hall, where the men sit and read
when their days work is done. Once a
week moving pictures are shown TO
them in this building. At one end of
this same big hall there was a bar
Der chair and an inmate barber shaw
ing an inmate customer.
Next they visited the sleeping quar-
ters, which are arranged III army style
save that there arc sheets. The big
barracks buildings are arranged to
accommodate about 200 men each.
Don't you have lot of sickness" in
quircd the reporter when he noted
the number of men that are required
to sleep in the same room. Mr.. Green
answered that the condition was quite
the contrary and that there was rare
ly any sickness at all. This he attri-
buted to the fact that the ventilation
system almost perfect.

FAT LESS AND TAKE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast If your Back hurts or Bladder
 bothers you

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from oyerwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take 8 tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine 80 it no longer is source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- iure, makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make mistake by having good kidney tlush- ing any time.
