ATLANTA U. S. PRISON
WARDENS GO UNARMED
AMONG 900 PRISONERS
Revolutionary changes in the meth
ods of Heating prisoners inaugurated
at the Federal penitentiary are attract
ing widespread attention today. They
have been introduced to make the big
prison a great reform institution in
stead of a vast grave for blighted lives.
Warden W. H. Moyer and Deputy
Warden W C Hawk, men whose sym
pathy with the that prisoners has ex
tended far beyond the official capacity,
have been quietly working' 011 prispn
reform and following are some of the
things that are seen in vogue today
that were undreamed of a few .rears
ago:
Abandonment of the practice of shavs.
mg heads of prisonets, giving the "si
lence’’ at table, and the "face-to-the
wall" treatment on the arrival of visi
tors: abolition of stripes (after the
present supply of suits is exhausted)
end the humiliating "lock step:” in
troduction of baseball and other games
for full holiday Saturday, setting-up
exercises Saturday mornings and an
hour of exercise each day; smoking
privilege extended and a newspaper
started: bathing twice a week instead
of once: separation of the races at
meals: great improvement in the tuber
culosis camp and more attention to the
sick in general: more amusements for
the prisoners, such as dramatic per
formances by ttaveling talent: greater
encouragement of invention, art. music
and other handiwork of the prisoners.
New Clothing Provided.
These are but a few of the things
that the colony enjoy at
the f ederal prison. Everything possi
ble is done to make the men forget
their past lives and to turn them out
at the expiration of their sentences re
formed citizens wot thy of the privi
leges of society. To litis end the gov
ernment does another thing. It pro
vides each prisoner on leaving the in
sjitution with a nyw outfit of clothing, a
railroad ticket home and a new five
dollnr bil'. If he doesn't take up life
anew and turn his face to the sunsnine,
then t.ie government does not hold It
self at fault.
In fact, the life of the prisoners is so
nearly ideal that he visitor invariably
comments that nine-tenths of the in
mat s are better off titan they would
ever have been outside, for instance,
the" man of talent need only apply him-
S'lf to have the most pleasant sort of
time
If be is a musician, he eat get a
"life berth" in the orchestra, and be
ob’ig d to do no other service; or if he
happens to be an artist and can make
himself useful with brush or pen, ho
is given that oppo: < unity. or if he is of
an inventive tm n, lie only has to ask
for matt rials Io work with that he may
carry out the designs .that he has
planned in his mind.
Each Man Has Work.
The federal piison business works
on tite principle of the proverbial great
whea' and its so many cogs. Each
man has a niche to till and the work
of the officials is to see that he fills it
md fits it. An inte l, sting principle of
c enemie s comes in here and the war
den and his deputy take full advantage

No young woman, in the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi

waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother's sys

makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
