H. Pickering Was Some Years Ago. That the dominion parole law is not functioning appears to be borne jout by the replies made by Parole | Officer Archibald to questions rais- cd. Investigation shows that the Ticket-of-Leave Act is being made inoperative, as shown by the over- crowded state of the Portsmouth penitentiary. The proportion of prisoners being liberated on parole to those kept until the expiration of sentence is much smaller than form- erly. The parole officer in reply states that 77 men were paroled last " the largest number for any single year." When the figures for the year ending March 31st, 1915, were quoted, showing 136 paroles #s against 56 released by expiration of ried: "That a settlement of the con- tract with the Murdock Quarries Company be made by accepting the sum of $500, if paid by December 1st, 1921." A proposal was made by Chairman Elliot to divide the duties carried on by E. Hartrick, who is in charge MOTHER ! sentence, he said most of the number paroled were liberated for military service. Investigation shows that this was not a faet, for it is learned on good authority that less than six of the 136 paroled were released to enlist and none were returned to prison for failure to enlist although one was rejected as being medically unfit. As a matter of fact, th'e prison- ers were released under the Ticket- |Clean Child's Bowels With! "California Fig Syrup" of-Leave Act and had to be eligible. There was no distinction except that the prisoner was freed of all condi- tions upon enlistment, The number for 1915, 136, there- fore stands against 77 for 1921. But the number 77, given by the parole officer for 1921, was exceeded by other years before the war, the year 1912 showing 81 paroled. HALLOWE'EN CELEBRATED Even a sick child loves the "fruity" taste of "California Fig Syrup." If the little tongue is coated, or if your child is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold, or has colic, give a teaspoon- ful to cleanse the liver and bowels. | In a few hours you can see for your-| self how thoroughly it works all the! constipation poison, sour bile and waste out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers keep "Califor. nia Fig Syrup" handy. They know a teaspoonful to-day saves a sick child to-morrow. Ask your druggist for genuine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and children of all ages printed en tie. Mother! You must say "California" or you may get an imitation fig syrup, | "Kiddies" Had a Great Time on the Night of All Nights. The "kiddies" had a great time on Monday night. In spite of the in- clement "weather, they celebrated Hallowe'en--the night of all nights, in great style, Dressed up in all sorts of costumes, the youngsters paraded the streets and called at many homes where thoy were received with open arms and treated to candies, orang- es, apples, nuts, and other good things. Some of the "kiddies" had very good costumes, and created very much interest. The celebration of Hallowe'en was not confined to the younger "kid- dies," however, as the older folk as well joined in the fun and "dressed up" for the occasion. Many Hallowe'en parties were held in various homes to mark the event, and altogether the night pas- sed off very pleasantly for all who joined in the festivities. | TWICE TO LD TALES | - News of Kingston TEN YEARS AGO, Queen's are in fine trim for thei+ game with Toronto University ia Toronto on Saturday nex.
