W particular Mr. Nickie: When he tries to med who drafted about "conditions: IDL T can vdderstand a man riding by the penitentiary in his motor car and" coming to the condlsfon, and not being very far wrong, that no. punishment is fair that makes a man 30 a thing beacuse it he does hot do it you are going to make him think you are about to rob him of 'his iife. And 1 say, when a punishment is permitted that'enables guards or keep- ord to submerge a convict in water until his lungs ery out for air and he has to give a signabof acquiescénes or smother, that punishment is wrong. Then hosing may be all right to dis- perse 4 mob, but to put & man in a cell fifteen feet square with round cor- ners and to play on him a hose such af we soe on the lawns in fromt of this building every day, and blow the life out of him if he does not dapolo- gize, it is, 1 believe, an unfair way to punish him. 1 believe to way to pun- ish the men is to make them come to reason and to 'admit their faults by logical, calm consideration. HH I'know anything of human nature, when von make a man submit because he thinks he is goiog to lose his life, he is a worse man after than before he was subjected to that torture. It is an injustice to put him in a cell and force water on him with such pressure that you can blow the life out of him un- lese he submits, Wr. Currie : How would you subdue them ? -- i Subduing of Prisoners. Mr. Nickle : That is a very fair ques tion, and it has been met in the King- ston peuiteiifiary. They have a pris- on of 'isolation. The cells are gbout twenty feet square, and the main pun- ishment of a convict is to put 'him in' that cell and to say: There you stay," you spend your days there, sometifies' you may have hooks: and sometimes not, but there vou stay until you -sig- nify your williness to conform Yo the regulations of this institution; then we will let you out te resume your normal labors. The comvict may stay a 'week, a month, or six 'months. No cruelty is practised; he is simply kept in solitary confinement, with pos- sibly a book to read. He gets his meals regularly. When reason reas- serts itseli he is given his ordinary work.' To my mind that is 4 sane. proper punishment. But, to deprive a man of the synagogue is, in my Judg- ment; a wrong" 'punishment. Certain people of the Hebrew persuasion were, Some two or throe years ago, depriv- ed qf the privileges of the synagogue as a punishment for offences. Can you Mnagine such a thing? You deprive a man of the privileges of the 'church because he has- done something wrong! lo my rind it takes one hack to the middle ages. I am perfectly satisfied that a pudishment oF that sort, would never meet with the approval 'of the minister of justice or of the inépect- ors, if they: were aware of 'it, but, "if Such things are done, they certainly make out. du. the | Health ind Beauty Aniswer our skin wip in olin J yeerine into «2 pi you pliant iv and lating to gon cleanser, ned : ul of canthrox | you rub briskly. and after ri ah vey yi rinsing, the hair tion. et from you a ' our Skt) sugar, into 1 A Take @ tablospoontul before Creases . your appetite and Stores a healthy condition weight Will be BR normal and the glow Jui ol make a Foot Funcea spurmax in 1 + teaspoo nfuls glycerine, noe ou LUCILLE: I always use pos uring. 1 onace Guin oi a little well in danden fl =n ore : tonic will restore the fo tha tre Tow soft, y ~eream, can buy at your dru before HE. then wash ol JA Ei The reason for that dry of soap irritates th > ts nto will correct t 0 u Food «vi infer 18 entirely eliminated. i bg cop of "hot water, Thi dissolves every a: serious matter and ; §t 1 ounce kardene and Po -2 pint alcobol, then adg hot water ich meal.
