The Sulmpe has a convertible collar. For a miss of 3 verage size the prin- cess can be reprcduced with 3% yards S44nch material and 1 yard of batiste or lawn for the guimpe. It would be a practical idea to add an extfa yard of material and make sleeves for the gulmpe so that it could be worn with any frock... The first Step in the making of the guimpe, how- ever, is to turn uuder the. front edge of the front on slot perforations for an underfacing, locating the center-front by the large "O" perforations. Close under-arm and shoulder seams as notched, hem the lower edge of the guimpe and insert a drawstring. Face the collar and sew to neck edge, notch- es and center-backs even. Taking the princess, close the center. back seam from neck edge to exten- sion; then close seam of the extension. 2 By creasing on line of slot perforations an Inverted pleat can be formed; next edge-10 center-back seam; bring folded stitch to position invisibly underneath at upper edge of pleat und press. The yokes can now be adjusted to position on front and back, center-backs and corresponding edges even. Slash fromt on lines of three small "o" 3 CROSS DONATIONS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT GIFTS AND SERVICES.

Remember, they can't buy it out in the trenches, and depend upon you to supply them. Read the following to see how they need it! wR Private E. Westfield writes: "We find Zam-Buk very useful. It is the best remedy for sore hands after trench-digging, and for frost-bite, cracks and cold sores, which are very common out : The man who has a box of Zam-Buk is very popu: ar." Private J. R. Smith, of the "Prin- cess ts," writing to a friend in Ottawa," says: "Tell the friends if they want to help me, Zam-Buk would be useful indeed." ? Private Johnson writes: "Mrs, ---- offered to send me a rag. I have written to tell her to send out seme Zam-Buk instead. : It will be of more use than ail the blankets in ere- ation." Another says: "Advise every one || of the boys to bring with him a box '{ of Zam-Buk; it is better than a loaf | of bread to a starving man out here." For sore feet, chafed scalp wire scratches, cuts, ab- ete, Zam-Buk is a veritable marvel | It stops the pain and heals so rapidly. '| Here it costs but 50c. per box. Out at the front, to your friends in the trenches and engaged on communica- tions, it is priceless. Send a few Remem- ber also that for similar Injuries sus- tained at home it is just as good. i -------------- When a young man is given to surplus style it is proof positive that '| his brains are below FELIMUEND REORNS BY THE 1XSPECTORS OF THE PENITENTIARIES. a With a View'Po Removing Any Real Grievances That May Exist--Place Little Reliance On Expert Opin. lous. & The Canadian Penitentiaries' In- Spectors reported as follows regard- ing conditions in the prisons: In the methods pursued for the re- pression of erime, the pendulum of public opinion, for several centuries,' has been oscillating from one ex- treme to another. Severity occas- 'ilonally leads to a revulsion of senti- ment that is followed by a period of sentimentalism equally dangerous to society--which in turn causes publie opinion to revert to the "cat and the triangle." : In the conduct of Canadidn peni- tentiaries it has been the policy to avoid both extremes as inconsistent with proper management, and to adopt methods of treatment that are humane and are also effective for the punpose intended by the sentence. Brutality and coddling have been avoided as equally dangerous -- the former because i incites revenge against society, and the latter be- cause it invites and encourages' criminality by taking the way of the trangressor easy. From time to time well-meaning enthusiasts have advocated moral suasion as the proper method of dealing with criminals. No matter how ancient the theory or how fre quently it has been exploded, senti- mentalism is still paraded as "mod- ern" penology, "madern" methods, etc., as a catch ery. Ever since Eve was comforted by the false assur- ance "Ye shall not surely die," there have been those who have insisted that wreng-doing should not be fol- lowed by penalty, but that the erimi- nal should be rewarded with com- forts, privileges and advantages that tens of thousands of law-abiding ci- tizens in this country do not enjoy. This agitation for the encouragement and propogation of erime ean boast of its origin and antiquity, but is in no sense modern. During past 3 years a vigorous and determined effort has been made to discredit Canadian criminal and even insane convicts were call- ed, their sworn "'ev'dence" recorded and published in the local press as facts. The publication of these scurrilous, false, and filthy state- ments was continued for days and weeks under the caption of "Startl- ing Revelations," "Disgusting Dis closures," "Hell in a Hollow," and other hysterical headlines, with the obvious intention of discrediting the institution and injuring the reputa- tion of its officials. It is only ne cessary to consider the character of the methods adopted to realize that whatever discredit may result will not attach to the imstitution. An examination of the three books of revelation, labelled 'evidence,' which accompanied the report of the Fexpents, fails jo disclose a single case of cruelty, inhumanity, or wil- ful injustice to any convict, substan- tiated by evidence that would be ac- cepted as such in any police court in the country. Any evidence of that character that. might be admissible was fully rebutted and disproved by witnesses whose veracity is beyond question. The allegation that there has been abuse in the infliction of prison pun- ishments is met by the official re- cords. No prison punishment can be inflicted except by the authority of the warden. No punishment was ever authorized or inflicted on an in- mate of the insane ward, although false statememts to that éffect have been made and published. When an insane conviet defles amthority and refuses to take his periodical bath, sanitary reasons oblige the 'of- ficers to compel him to submit. This is not punishment. To omit to en. force sanitary regulations would be deemed a serious neglect of duty on the part of the responsible officers. As regards the general infliction of prison punishments the records show that during the past year, 60 per cent of t population received no punishment whatever--not even the minimum meal of bread and wa- ter. Convicts who are defiant of authority, and incorrigible, are sub- dued by application, of the hose. Those who received this form of punishment during the. year consti- tute one-half of one per cent of the population. I any one thinks that this record justifies the allegation of abuse they are entitled to anoth- €r guess. Facts are stronger than fiction. We place little reliance on the op- inions of experts who are unable to distinguish between originality and plagiarism; ween reform and re- action; between humsnity and inan- ity; between sane suggestion - and sloppy sentimentalism. The administration of penal in- stitutions is too important to be us- ed as the object of political caprice or for the experiments of misguided enthusiasts. The recommendations that have been made from time to time by our officials were not based ou the statements, opinions, or wish- es of convicts, sane or insane, but upon observation and praetieal ex. perience, In our last annual re- port we urged as fundamental re- forms: -- : 1.
