BAD LIVERS.

Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important organs in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches, digestion is imperfect: there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fulness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating. There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be set right until the kidneys and bowels are made active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, biliousness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does.

They are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and pee-·· magent cure for [siliousness, Indi- gestion, Constipa-.

tion, Headaches, Saflow Complexion,

Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Hails and Riotches, and for

Female Ailments.

WAR AND CRIME,

FEWER CONVICTIONS.

PATRIOTISM AMONG PRISONERS,

War and its effects on crime figure pro- minently in the report of the Prison Com- missioners for England and Wales (of whom Sir E, Ruggles-Brise is chairman) for the year ended March 31st last, which was issued a month ago. The following table shows the number of prisoners re- ceived under sentence:---"

64,200 114,283

These figures show a drop of 50,123 as compared with a year ago.

During the last ten years, says the report, there has been a great dirnu- tion, both in serious crime, tried on in- dictment, and in cases dealt with sum amily, relatively to the population. The total per 100,000 of the population was 580 in 1904-1905 In 1914-1015 it had fallen to 281, while for the past year is is estimated at 150 only.

ONUSES OF DECREASE

The local prison population, which at the outbreak of war in August, 1914, was 12,580 (11,531 males and 2,040 females); had fallen on March 31st last to 6,800 (5,381 males and 1,575 females). The three main causes which seem to liave con- tributed to this great decrease are, ne cording to the Commissioners:

··

(1) The enlistment of many habi dual petty offenders.

(2) The Restrictive Orders issued by the Central Control Board (Liquor. Traffic) and those made by the justices and by the military authorities.

(3)-The great demand for labour, rendering employment easy and well paid, and resulting in ability to pay fines, this latter being greatly aided by the operation of Section 1 of the Criminal Justice Administration Act, 1014.

One of the notable effects of the war on the prison population," states the report, has been that the receptions are now for the most part confined to the phy- sically and mentally weak. The general standard of physique is now much in- ferior to that of prisoners admitted into prison in normal times, while the percent- age of strong, able-bodied men is com paratively small There is every reason fu believe that the country's call for men appealed as strongly to the criminal as to other classes, and if it had been possible to place under scrutiny every case admitted: into prison within military ago, there is little doubt but that the vast majority of cases would have been found to be phy sically unfit A young burglar, one of BRITISH TO THE gang of five, told the chaplain of a London prison that his four pals had BACKBONE

enlisted two had been killed, and two others wounded. He said he meant to go and do his bit as soon as he got out of prison-a promise which he faithfully observed.

Commitments for drunkenness during the year fell 48 per cent, but no conclu- sim, it is said, can be drawn from this as to the diminution of drunkenness owing to the very remarkable effect of the Criminal Justice Administration Act in allowing time to pay the fine. In all cases, dealt with by fine at summary courts, the percentage which comes prison at the present tine is less than. five. An illustration of the operation of the Act is furnished from Birmingham prison. In 1015 12,487 fines were imposed by the summary courts, but only 417, or 3.3 per cent., of the prisoners served the whole sentence.

to:

Although a great reduction in the total number of you prisoners, 18-21, com mitted in default of fine has occurred,the fact that over 25 per cent. of those receiv- ed this year paid their fines after recep tion into prison suggest (says the report) that further effect might be given to Section (3) of the Act of 1914, and com mittal to prison thus avoided.

The decrease in non-indictable cases hus been spread over nearly all offences. The following shows the extent to which com- mittals for certain offences have further decreased in the case of males;

An inquiry by a lady inspector with view to ascertaining the effect of the war upon female prisoners committed for the offence of drunkenness substantiated other observations that a falling prison population is contributing more convic tions per annum than was the case before the war.
