The domin- iun superintendent's report begins with some formidable statistics, giv- ing in detail the sum total of infor-| mation that the number of convicts in custody increased from 1,689 to 1,931, during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1920. Accprding to na tionality, 1,107 of the ¢onvicts were born in Canada, 646 were born in| foreign countries, 93 were born In England, and the remaining £5 in other British countries An andlysis of the population according seem to show the Roman and Protestant convicts slightly out of proportion to their numbers out- side. The Roman Catholics number 948, all other Christian creeds 936 and non-Christian 49. There are of the convicts under the age of 20 and thirty-six are over 60 years old. Under the Neading of social habits, 548 are registered as abstainers, 976 as temperate, and 408 as intemper- ate.

That's what makes the sharp, sudden, shot-like pains, causing you to jump and cringe in agony. Hood's Barsaparilla comprises remedies that every physician pre- scribes for rheumatism, combined with other blood-purifying, tonic and strength-building ingredients in a formula vastly superior in make-up and in curative power.

The report says: Classification by institutions is now essential to the successful refor- mation and instruction in inmates This matter should he taken up whole-heartedly and at least two néw thoroughly up-to-date institutions created to make this most important and desirable work possible. Several of the old penitentiaries could then be dispensed with. Qualified school teachers and better school rooms are being provided at the penitentiaries.

There are many women who have invalids or semi-invalids sp long that they accept their condition as a life burden. They have endured broken sleep, stomach trouble, ner- vousness, headaches and weakness 80 long that they have given up hope of enjoying good health. In most of these cases aswell chosen diet, fresh air, and a tonic to build up the blood would do wonders. To all run down women the story of Mrs. M. S. Al-{ ward, Stevens Settlement, N. B., will prove interesting. She says: "Some years ago I began to feel all tired out. I could not stand work, and my hedd ached almost all the time. I would grow dizzy and everything would turn dark and specks seemed to float before my eyes. My feet would swell and my back ached al- most constantly. I tried several medicines but they did not do me a bit of good Then one day seeing an advertisement for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I made up my mind to try them. I first got two boxes and by the time I had used them I felt a little hetter. Then I got six more boxes, and thanks to these my good healts returned. I am now a well and rugged woman, and have had no need tor medicine since that time." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willlams" Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.
