THE BANNER, WEDNESDAY MORNING* OCTOBER 13, 1915.
For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the
couV.try that a great many women have escaped serious op
erations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and it is true.
We are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing ?
I IIodgdon, Me.—“ I had pains in both sides and such a soreness
• I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be
any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
woman.”—Mrs. Havward Sowers, Hodgdon, Me.
2 SnEi.EYvn.LE, Ky.—“I suffered from a severe female 'trouble.
• My right side hint me badly — it was finally decided that I
must be operated upon. When my husband learned this he got a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for me, and after
taking it a few days I got better and continued to improve until I
am now well.”—Mrs. Mollie Smith, R.F.D., Shelbyville, Ky.
3 Hanover, Pa.—“ The doctor advised a severe operation, but my
• husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I
experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person
and can do a hard day’s work and not mind it.”—Mrs. Ada Wilt,
303 Walnut SL, Hanover, Pa.
DecatuRj III.—“ I was sick in bed and three of the best physi-
operation and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
pound—and it worked a miracle in my case, and I tell other women
what it has done for me.”—Mrs. Laura A. Griswold, 2437 East
William Street, Decatur, I1L
S Cleveland, Ohio. —“I was very irregular and for several years
• my side pained me so that I expected to have to undergo an op
eration. Doctors said they knew of nothing that
would help me. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and I became regular and free
from pain. I am thankful for such a good medi
cine and will always give it the highest praise.”—
Mrs. C.H. Griffith, 15G8 Constant St., Cleveland, O.

I Martin will appear at the Colonial

'Laurette Taylor ended her two
I years run the first of June last year
at the Oort Theatre in Now York,
closing the longest run theatrically
that has ever been known—two years
uninterrupted in the same piece in
the same theatre. While this record
was in progress the producer, Oliver
Morosco found it necessary to send
hve companies on tour, and after
wards the business was so large that
three additional companies were pro-

The scenes of the piece are laid
in a provincial town in England
where resides an aristocratic family
consisting of a widow, ner son and
daughter. The family—Chichester by
name—have met with reverses, and
are at their wits’ end as to how to ob-

the household and other expenses.
Mrs. Chichester’s wealthy brother haq
died and, believing that his siste
was blessed with this world’s goods]

| Opposes Indiscriminate Extension
of “Honor” System Among Criminals
(By Associated Press.)
Oakland, Calif., Oct. 12.—Taking the
I ground that a criminal is not a nor;
mal human being but is one who is
morally deficient and opposing the in
discriminate extension of the “honor
convict" system, Judge F. E. Frick,
of the supreme court of Utah, here to
day addressed the convention of the
] American Prison Association.
“As soon as a moral weakling is
I discovered our first efforts should be
to overcome his weakness before it
torces him into an active criminal ca
reer,” said Judge Frick. “I enter
tain little hope of ever reforming a
| confirmed criminal.
“In view that there are some
I among those who are sentenced to
prison wno have a sincere desire to
avoid further crimes, there are many,
among which number are some pris
on officials, who have conceived the
idea that all men are the same and
since some can be trusted all may be,
and, therefore, all that is required to
reform a criminal Is to place unre
stricted trust find confidence in him.
That is, all that is needed to reform
him is to call him a man of honor—
and presto, change! he becomes a
man of honor. Such a method of
dealing with confirmed criminals is
as pernicious in practice as it is il
logical in reason. It treats an ab
normal human being as though he
Were perfectly normal. 'The result is
that it sets at large the most danger-
I ous criminals we have to deal with.
*T have (become thoroughly con-
| *ineed that the general or indiscrimi
nate application of the so«aUed hon
or system to convicts is more than
a delusion and a snare. It Is a crime
against organized society. iMpreover,
It is of no practical benefit to the real
criminal himself. To thus deal with
that class is merely to tempt them.
To say to the confirmed criminal, ‘Go,
I trust in your honor,’ is a mere waste
of confidence. !No man can yield that
| Which he does not possess. No one,
not even a refromer, can breathe
honor into a rogue.
*AVe shall never be able to lessen
crime very much until we heed and
modify the conditions which cause
crime, in the nature of things crimes
will prevail just as long as man ex
ists. We may, however, better the
environment of those who are born
with a lack of moral force and a ten
dency to do wrong and in that way
lessen both crime and criminals.
Above all we should carefully guard
and make harmless the confirmed
criminal by preventing him from go
ing at large and from indulging In his
evil propensities. Instead of confin
ing that class, however, some of our
pseudo-reformers have sought to dec
orate them with a badge of honor by
giving them the advantage of a so-
called honor system, a dozen ot that
class set at large in one state will
commit more serious crimes than will
ten tunes that number of ordinary
criminal weaklings. Yet the so-called
reform goes merrily on.
"In justice to h large majority of
our prison officials it should be said,
however, that they do not endorse the
Indiscriminate application ot the so-
called honor system.”
Statistics of crime and criminals,
which he contended were necessary
tor a proper understanding of the
causes of crime were considered to
day by Frederick L. Hoffman, of New
ark, N. J., in a preliminary report to
the convention, of the committee on
statistics of crime and criminals.
(Prefacing his report with a review
of the meager data available in the
United States for a broad considera
tion of the subject, and presenting
much data collected in the prisons of
England and Wales, Mr. Hoffman
urged that steps be taken to obtain
’’more adequate statistics of crime,
upon a uniform basis, as derived from
the collective experience of Ameri
can penal institutions."
“To bring about this required re-.
wartrcJBBfcl^e 'state
Frankfort, Ky., in' a Ti
chaplain’s association, a subsidiary of
the main .organization. He said in
part: \
‘Before the chaplain can do his
best work he must have favorable en
vironment. If . he is the only one in
the official family of the prison who
believes in or cares about, the Gos
pel of Christ, then indeed will the
fruits of his- labor be anything but
satisfactory. Add to this a little pos
itive opposition on the part of the
warden and other officers and the
chaplain is placed in about the same
position as the farmer who attempts
to raise a crop in the Sahara desert
i make this statement with due rev
erence, not forgetful of the fact that
God is able to accomplish His pur
poses in spite of adverse surround
ings, but with a knowledge of the
further fact that it Is His purpose to
use human agencies.
“I do not say that every prison of
ficial snould be a devout Christian,
but I am willing to say that every
prison official should reverently ac
ledge the power oi the Gospel
the greatest force known among
in for the reformation and rehabili
tation of fallen man.
“The simple truth is that there has
been too great a gulf between the
warden’s ideals and the chaplain’s
ideals. The chaplain nas been re
garded in too many prisons as a-kina
of vermiform appendix, a part of the
prison anatomy but really not neces
sary and sometimes harmful.
“The principal work of the warden
Is to arrest evil tendencies in the
prison life and create, foster and de
velop, witnin the prison, all those
agencies possible which are reason
ably calculated to cure defects in
character and develop manhood. Hard
work, exercise,, education and re
ligion, in their broadest and most
practical sense, are the agents the
warden must employ if he shall ans
wer to this, his highest mission. It
this be true, then it follows that the
chaplain’s work fits in nicely with the
general plan of the institution.
“The chaplain’s business is to cre
ate new impulses, inoculate new pur
poses, stimulate good impressions and
help the prisoner build himseix a new
life. This is enough for one man. It
is the noblest business ever commit
ted to the hands of men or angels.”
