a rnas-ano-aasy JAIL 7,01: July 29th The Guardian called attention to the public indignation aroused over a scandal in connection With the Prince County jail, occur- rm; some two weeks before. Certain prisoners, sentenced for serious oi- fences and awaiting transportation to Dorchester Penitentiary, were placed in cells without locks and thus had free access to other parts of the interior of the building. On the ev- ening before these prisoners were to be sent to Dorchester, a fire broke out in the jail whirh showed every evidQQ oi having been set deliber- ately. Citizens living in the vicinity complained that on the evening in question there was an uproar in the u building and there were insistent rumill first when the prisoners were being taken away in the morning they were intoxicated. The Summer- side Journal reported at the time that out of the ten cells on the floor on which the convicted prisoners were confined. there were only five with locks that were any good. And this notwithstanding a, strong recom- mendation of the Grand Jury at a previous session of the Supreme Court that proper locks should be provided immediately. The outrage- ous affair threw serious suspicion up- on the competence oi the jailor and reflected disgracefully on the whole administration of justice in the Pro- vince. Investigations were made at jhe time, one by the Provincial Fire ‘Marshal and another by the Attorney General, but in neither case has any information been given to the pub- lic, nor has any assurance been rc- beived of any steps takes to prevent repetition of the occurrence;

On Aug. 14th last. practically a month after the attempted burning down of the jailbuilding. The island firmer, reporting the proceedingsof lhg summerside Town Council, said:

In his report as Chairman of the Police Committee Councillor Moore referred to the arrest of three prisoners at, an early hour

‘ on Monday morning, who had been taken to jail and were later allowed by the jailor to walk out. He moved that Officers Murray and Linkletter and one of the prisoners, who were present,

I should‘ be asked to explain the circumstances to the Council.

car and he arrested themsonthe

Way to jail another man was ar-

rested and taken along. They were left in charge of the jailor's

‘ 8011 lifter they had been placed in cells on which there were no locks.

Officer Linkletter told how he had arrested two girls and after locking them up in a cell at the jail helped in the arrest of the three men. They were lodged m jail and put two in one cell and one in another. The jailor could 110$ b0 BrOU-ied. as the button of

e bell was out of order. but his (the jailer!) son said that he would tell his father about the prisoners.

The prisoner then gave a brief

' version of how the three prison-

ers walked out. At about five 0'¢l0¢k. he said. they were all loose and walking about when ms

WHAT THE AUTO COSTS

Few people keep accounts of their expenses in running an auto, says the Montreal Gazette. Many begin; but they become forgetful, and usually

“end by taking things for granted Nevertheless, the job is worth doing; for the aggregate cost of opera-tin! and maintaining all the motor car! in the world reaches the astounding figure of more than seven billion dol- lars per annum. The capital outlay is another matter. The American Motorists Association has taken some trouble to get at the operating and upkeep figures, and declares that an average of $293 was expended by each automobile owner for these services in i928, which was slightly higher than for 1927. The unthinking oper- ator usually regards only his expendi-

ture for gasoline and repairs when estimating his annual bill of _cost; but. as a matter

of fact, depreciation runs into a still larger amount. The average retail price of cars in the United States last year was $875, and, based on a life expectancy of seven years, this would mean $125 per annum for loss in value. The aggregate cost would therefore be $418 a year, or approx- imately $1.14 per day. Repairs are put at $82, replacement of parts at $55, tires, at $34 accessories at $21 and gasoline and oil at 8101.

The real gauge oi actual cost is mileage; and the man who keeps ac- curam accounts on that basis is sure to be surprised by the result. It is hi! habit to measure his cost per mile by his gasoline bill, and he woefully de- oeives himself in doing so. when all the items are brought into reckoning especially depreciation, he is for- tunate if during the life of his low- priced car he runs it at a cost of '1 or 8 cents per mile. it is usually more than that, since insurance and (re- gistration are not included in the average of e418 to which reference has just been made .In the case of_a car which costs it owner $3,000 or $4.- 000, upkeep and operation probably mount up to from l5 to 18 cents per mile, without counting the wages of a possible chauffeur; so that the ownership of an auto must be re- cognised as a distinct luxury. But back of everything in that regard is

ate reckoning all sorts of factors, come in. as countervaiis to the mm- ly dilulfl um cents view. Utility, on the whole is quite secondary.

some years ago during an outbreak oi uyseu y in China, test barium meals were given and X ray pictures taken as the barium meal was pm. lug through the intestine.

It was found that the patients that had taken u» barium meal recovered, and naturally us: was thought u; be due to the X rays.

However when the X reys- alone were used there were not the recover- ies that were expected, and then it was realized that. it was the barium meal that cleared the intestine of tbs 0391161118 vreenisms and the products of these organisms. _ _

In India. the same thing hevllened and when the research men had no barium left they went into the hills and found a pure form of clay which they used in curing dysentry, with the same satisfactory resuliajs had been obtained by the use of barium.

Physicians who have sent their patients to have an X ray series made of the intestine and have received a report that there was no organic condition-no ulcer, nor cancer—have sometimes wondered why these pat- ients havenot returned for further treatment or advice.

Sometimes in fact they have been of the opinion that their patients have gone elsewhere for advice and treatment. ‘

What has really happened?

The barium in passing through the intestine has actually cleaned away organisms, waste material, and the coating that " collect on the lining/of last part of large intestine.

With the removal of these condi- tions they feel so much brighter and clearer headed,’ that for a consider- able time they do not feel the need of consulting a doctor, a

THE OLDEST PBESBYTEBMN CONGREGATION

Q. Which ls the oldest Presbyterian Congregation in Canada?

A. St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. in“ the city of Quebec, claims the honor of being the oldest Pres- byterian _consré¢atibn in the Domin- ion as its continuity of services dates from the earliest days of the British Conquest, coupled with an unbroken ministry dating from the military chaplains of that period. Startiul with the 18th Fraser Highlanders, it is also claimed that the religious ser- vices conducted by the chaplain of this regiment constituted the first regular worship in Canada in accord- ance with Presbyterian form and usage. 1 v
