Although many may think this gateway has been built a century too late, it certainly recalls vividly the most astonishing period in Bri- tish prison history. In those "good old days” the world-famous Dart- moor prison boundary enclosed fifteen acres, and teemed with every kind of social life and social dépra- vity. Within this double ring of masonry gathered together desper- ate men from nearly every nation in the world to fight against Britain under the Tricolour and Stars and Stripes.

In particular, the war prison vừng an indescribably foul, and sordid place. All ita vile inhabitants were Sunrise and Sunset in Hong men, there was not one woman in Kong for August (Standard time of the place. It had its own laws, its the 120th Meridian, East of Green-

OLD TAYLOR

The continuous use of cocktails injures the stomach and lays the foundation for the drinking habit, which is easily acquired by the young.

They supply for a moment the new sensations, strong emotions, and varied interests which youth desires, and tend more surely and rapidly, in Prof. Dixon's opinion, to become a habit than do any other kinds of beverage.
