OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28 1 908
IIST'SJEW IDEAS,
What Toledo Judge Learned by
Day Spent In Workhouse.
WOULD USE JAILS, NOT FINES
Does Not Favor Imposing Determl
nate Sentence Suggests That Tim
For Liberty Be Made Conditional on
Reformation of the Prisoner Sys
All Should Have to Work.
James Austin, Jr.. a police Judge of
Toledo, 0., recently finished a sentence
of one day In tlie city workhouse lm
posed by himself while on the bench a
few days ago. Judge Austin has been
anxious to learn from experience the
exact meaning of a workhouse sen
tence and arraigned himself on a tech
nical charge of curiosity, going to the
workhouse in the patrol wagon the
same as a common prisoner.
"As I stood handcuffed ready to get
Into the patrol wagon with the crowd
of Market square loafers making fun
of me and my situation," he said after
his experience, "I was simply enduring
what I had seen many a poor victim
have to suffer in days gone by. The
time I spent in my own society in the
cell has rectified my former views of
time, for I know there are more than
sixty" minutes In an hour when you
spend that hour in a cell, with nothing
to smoke, chew, drink, read or write
and only the slant of the shadows in
the cell to let you know what time it is.
I found our workhouse well warmed
and scrupulously clean, the food whole
some and the discipline firm, but kind.
"I was impressed with the uniform
cheerfulness of the inmates. It re
minded me of the happiness of irre
sponsible children. When we went out
to cut ice the chosen men obeyed, but
did not seem to go with alacrity. The
thoughts of the prisoners seem center
ed on getting out. They did not appear
to be anxious for work. In fact, in the
winter time our workhouse is a mis
nomer, through no fault of the officials.
It Is our loafing place, our harbor and
haven of rest for the derelicts of so
ciety. "If all the workhouses are conducted
on the humane principles of the Tole
do workhouse, a workhouse sentence
Is not a harsh punishment. Time Is
the only thing we have . in common,
and I have the conviction that the
equitable punishment for crime would
be the abolition of fines and the im
posing of imprisonment under the In
determinate sentence. Let the time for
liberty depend upon the reformation of
the prisoner.
"The strong natural desire for free
dom will give the incentive and fur
nish the hope for the desired reforma
tion. It is rank folly to throw into a
common prison the first offender, the
vagrant, the drunkard and the harden
ed and confirmed criminal and expect
a reformation. Your rotten apples will
taint your whole barrel.
"In the workhouse I saw many men
who were warmer, better fed and
freer from care In brief, better off
than many an honest poor man of fam
ily outside out of work and dependent
upon a niggardly public charity for his
support. I would not be less humane
to the prisoner, but I would be more
generous to the man who Is willing to
suffer and remain honest.
"The workhouse should have sepa
rate departments and the Inmates
classified and the different grades kept
apart from one another. All should
have to work. Promotion from a low
er to a better grade should be made
for good conduct, satisfactory work
and proved betterment. Increase the
privileges as the prisoner ascends In
grade and at the end have your work
farm and manual training department
Turn your prisoner out into the world
able to do some honest work, get him
a place to work or see that he has the
means to live an honest life till he ob
tains employment, and the great prob
lem and danger of society, the recidi
vist, the constantly recurring criminal,
will be In process of a rational solu
tion." Jaw Dislocating Joke.
When Peter Lamberson entered his
home In Brooklyn the other day at the
luncheon hoar he was In a jovial
mood.
"Mary," he said to his young wife,
"I just met a man on the street carry
ing a side of beef on his back. I said
to him, 'My good man, what are you
going to do with all that beef?'
"Without stopping the man replied,
'My family and I eat all we can, and
what we can't we can.' "
Mrs. Lamberson laughed o heartily
that she dislocated her jaw.
Erin's Shamrock Growing In Seattle.
Among the many natural resources
of the state of Washington new things
are coming to light every day. No
less wonderful than amusing is the
fact that the botanical growth of the
state Is enriched with one more spe
cially valuable acquisition, for, lo and
behold, the shamrock, the real thing,
has been discovered growing In its na
tive condition within the limits of the
city of Seattle. It was discovered
growing there by a son of the soil
who halls from near the beautiful
lakes of KUlarney.
New Rubber Tree.
The continually increasing use of
India rubber in its various forms gives
importance to every discovery of new
rubber bearing trees. Such a discovery
has recently been made In Tonkin and la
the first of the kind made in Indo-China,
says Youth's Companion. The tree is
described as a new species of the genus
bleekrodea. It is found In abundance,
and the rubber produced from It is
said to be of the highest quality.

Catarrh of U'onchial Tubes.
Mr. Wic.kHffo li. tsmitti, editor or Tne
Potlatch Hra!d, formerly principal of
the schools at Cameron, Idaho, writes:
"For some tlmo 1 suffered with ca
tarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes.
"I tiled many Kim. dies, hutcould find
nothing that would jrive me relief. Fi
nally I trW Peruna. Throe hot ties cured
me, sound n;d well. I believe it will do
as much fur others as it did for me."
Gained Thirty Pounds.
Mrs. Alice J . isoruner, Mapie Ave.,
Harrisburg, Pa., writes:
"I have found a cure in Peruna. I
cannot recommend Peruna enough, and
I also thank you for yourkind attention
to me. I am as well as could be ever
since I began taking Peruna, and will
recommend it toothers. 1 only weighed
i)5 pounds before taking Peruna; now 1
weigh 125."
Throat and Head.
Mrs. I. D. Haves, lfl7 Druid Hill, Bal
timore, Md., writes :
"Peruna is one of the best remedies
for grippe, cold in the head, sore throat,
nervous headaches, and coughs that has
ever Deen aiscoverea. Atier the use of
one bottle in my family I don't feel safe
without Peruna in my house."
In a later letter Mrs. Hayes says: "I
am never without a bottle of Peruna in
the house. I find it good for most every
complaint. I give the children Peruna
if they have a cold and it always re
lieves them. I don't think I could find
a better remedy to give my children."
These Testimonials Were Given Out of Pure Gratitude
For The Benefit Received From Pe-ru-na
It is so easy to criticize things about j as a beverage or to take it lu doaes
which the critic knows nothing.
Take, for instance, Peruna. There are
plenty of people who are willing to say
Peruna is this and that, who never have
tastod Peruna, and have never known
anything about its effects upon the
tinman system.
There are people who say, and proba
bly belie vo, that Peruna is used as a
beverngo by some people. It would
bethocaslestthlngin the world to show
the falsity of such a belief.
Let any one who reads this go to the
drug store and purchase a bottle of
IVruau. If, after attempting to use it
sufficient to produce anything like in'
toxicatlon, if after putting it to this
test such a person is still of the opinion
that Peruna is a disguised alcoholic,
drink, he will be warranted In making
such a statement. Practically, Pernna
cannot be so used. Any one who knows
anything about Peruna by personal use
knows that Peruna is a medicine. The
very label on the bottle, giving the prin
cipal active ingredients, furnishes In
disputable proof that Peruna is a medi
cal compound. We will be willing to
guarantee that no normal person can or
will use Pernna as a bevernpre. If
any one thinks this remedy can
be go used one trial will be auffloient to
disabuse his mind.
Fernna Is a great and useful family
medicine. It li used In multitudes of
homes. It has become a standard rem
edy for various petty ailments In th
home. It is especially useful for climatlo
diseases. It la an excellent remedy for
colds. It la a well-tried remedy for ca
tarrh In all forms.
We hare a multitude of testimonial
recommending It for oolds, for bron
obltls, for various affeotlons of the
respiratory and alimentary organs.
This Is well known to all who know
Pernna by aotual experience.
"Cures All Catarrhal Diseases."
Mr. I. W. Kightlinger, Cambridge.
Neb., writes: "I don't have any mora
trouble In my throat, and hare not had
a headaohe for four weeks.
"Peruna is the very medicine for oa-
tarrh. There is no medicine like It In
the United States, for I have tried a good
many before using Pertna.
"I will keep it In my house to guard
against catarrh, as It cures all catarrhal
diseases,"

In regard to the bill the Grange and
others are going to bring before the
voters of Oregon in the coming elec
tion to change the assessment and tax
law so as to exempt improvements,
manufactures, machinery implements,
etc., and put the tax on unimproved
lands, the writer thinks there is no
justice, sense or equity in the scheme,
and believes in a spuare deal all
around. Let the law as it now is be
put in force and assess the property at
its true value. For one reason the
proposed tax law would make a great
hardship on the man that has taken
up a homestead in the foothills. He
can barely make a living under the
present law, with his five or ten
acres hewed out of the logs. Then, if
he would have to pay a big tax for
the 150 acres of the unimproved land
he would have to throw up the sponge
and go to the city, where there is too
many now. Let him keep on clearing
away the logs and he will eventually
become a producer and make a good
citizen.

LEARN TO EAT.
Few People in Oregon City Really
Know How,
Slow eating will solve one-half the
problems of ill health. Those who suf
fer already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and the use of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their dl
gestlon to a healthy condition, so that
they can eat what they want at any
time without fear of distress or suf
fering. After a few days' use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste In the
mouth, coated tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating
all these symptoms of a weak stom
ach will diseappear, and perfect di
gestion and a good skin will show
that the vital machinery Is once more
running smoothly.
Take a little Ml-o-na tablet before
each meal so that it will stimulate the
digestive Juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will take
care of the food that is eaten, with
out indigestion and the unpleasant full
feeling with which so many suffer
after meals.
Howell & Jones have so much con
fidence in the power of Ml-o-na to
cure indigestion and all stomach Ills
that they give a guarantee with every
BO-cent box to refund the money if the
remedy fails to give satisfaction.
