PRISON RIOTS
The Guelph Reformatory has been
for some time the show place for
prison reform. The inmates there, ac
cording to reports, are treated with
.a .respect that in yester years was un
heard of. But out of the blue on Sun
day the inmates staged a riot of ser
ious proportions They wielded pieces
•of iron beds and anything else they
could lay their hands on against the
•guards in an effort to make a get
away, which some of them did. They
p.lso started fires which did consider
able damage. The building was of
fireproof construction or the result
would have been very much more
serious.
* * * *
It is said that the riot was staged
as a demonstration against the food
which the inmates were receiving but
the public have been of the opinion
that the meals at this institution were
very good. This makes one wonder
if there is more back of this riot than
this. A few chronic grumblers may
sometimes be the spark that kindles
discontent in the minds of others un
til the breaking point is reached.
It was a blow to the public when
they learned that trouble had broken
cut in this institution that was class
ed as a model home for those who
■offended society.
Cream puff methods in the hand
ling of those confined in such places
does not appear to be such a success.
It may be that these convicts may
defeat their objective and force the
authorities to use very stern methods
in our reformatories and prisons.
We are of the opinion that the pub
lic are fed up with repeated demon-
•strations by those confined in peni
tentiaries, reformatories, etc. The in
mates of these institutions have lost
a great deal of the sympathy that the
citizens in general had for them and
which a short time ago
erable.
Some fine work in this regard has
been done but an organized effort
would bring much better results. The
government has been the means by
which most of the work of this kind
has been carried on but it is felt that
when each county becomes thorough
ly interested greater results will be
achieved.

PREMIER SEEKING HEALTH
Again this year the condition of
Premier Hepburn's health has forced
him to seek a climate which favors
his bronchial trouble; The Ontario
Legislature was called into session
earlier than usual this year as busi
ness of great importance had to be
dealt with, Even those who do not
agree with Premier Hepburn’s meth
ods or policies, regret that he is forc
ed to leave on the eve of this session
to journey to Arizona, and hope that
he will improve rapidly.
It appears that Mr, Hepburn cannot
take things easy and is in the thick
of all government-activity. This, no
doubt, is a great tax on his health.
The load is too great for any one
man to carry on his own shoulders
and the Premier, as advised before,
should depend much more on his as
sistants and conserve his energy.

Several times in this
have urged that the matter of refor

efforts be made to have trees planted

not much good for anything else.
Recently meetings have been held
by those who have given much con
sideration to this question, at Lon

Guelph, another at London and one
-at Bowmanville.
This is a fine start. The province
has been divided into sections to fur
ther this idea. It has been suggested
that each County Council set up a
nucleus of a County Conservation
Committee to build up an adequate
working committee -for the county.
This co-operation is necessary if the
scheme is to be carried out to a suc
cessful issue and we hope the Coun
ty Council will take this matter ser
iously and act on this recommenda
rtion.

Gazing into the fire to-night I can
see Frank Hill’s 'father on his way
up from Lower-Town on the three-
board long plank walk. Little Mr,

to that’hallowed experience; but lit

My father asked him

Mr. Hill replied that he did not per
mit even his right eye to look across
the Maitland to the fast flats where
Rollie and Bob worked Wanda and
Harold, H. developed faster feet. Per
haps this good man was more nar
row than was necessary, but think of
the practice he got,? up and back from
Lower Town on that three-plank side
walk choosing with every footstpe
the best plank of three, which usual
ly meant one that was warped up
wards at only one end and without
a boot-sized knot-hole in the middle.
Besides, no doubt, with commendable
dexterity, tie sometimes managed to
pass Jim Lolkridge without being
bumped off into the burdocks.
All jokes aside, Frank Hill’s father
was representative of a type of vital
godliness all too scarce in Spain and
in Canada. “I will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills from whence cometh
my help." Thank God for hills. Stan
ley Baldwin is the highest hill we
have today.
One hot afternoon in midsummer
I remember passing George Phippen
on top of this stretch of decayed lum

“This is a cooker.”
Swiftly passing from summer to
winter, do you remember those ten
o’clock in the morning races on the
main street on the hard packed snow.

TALKING ABOUT
THE WEATHER

“Everybody’s always talking about
the weather,” said Mark Twain, “but
no one ever does anything about it!”
That is too often true—particularly
so in the pantry, where we prepare
the same old dishes regardless of
heat, cold, drought or blizzard.
Cold weather calls for hot dishes—
dishes, to warm the body and supply
much-needed nourishment. That is

This delicious cereal absorbs
twice its weight in water
WITHIN the body, ALL-BRAN really
absorbs more than, twice jits weight in
water. Here is how ALL-BRAN works:
In the first place, common consti
pation is usually due to meals low
in “bulk?’ Intestinal muscles lack the
materials needed for their regular
exercise. They get flabby.
Some “bulk” is found in fruits and
vegetables. But Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN
has a great deal more. This cereal
absorbs water. It passes through the
system—with the fibre largely un-
changed—gently sponging the intes
tinal walls as it goes along. It elim
inates the listlessness, the “blues,” the
headaches that often follow consti
pation.
ALL-BRAN also provides vitamin B
to tone up the intestines, and iron
for the blood. Isn’t this natural food
much better than the unnatural and
sometimes harmful action of pills and
drugs?
Eat two tablespoonfuls of ALL
BRAN daily. Chronic cases, with each
meal. Serve as a cereal, or cook in
recipes. Sold by all grocers. Made
and guaranteed by Kellogg in London,
Ontario.
