SHIRKERS' FRIGHT -4 OLD SHOWER-BATH MISTAKEN FOR. A CHINESE TORTURE. The conscientious shirkers in Dartmoor Prison recently Tiad a terrible shock (says tie "Dally Mail")-, They saw ashowcrliath and thought it was a Chinese torture! Tq confiding Mr. Jowett, one of the Socialist M.l'.'s, they have told a harrowing, tale of things seen in Dartmoor, una of them was a "box like a sentry-box," with a tank with perforated holes forming the roof. Prisoners so«pected of malingering or pretending to bo insane were, they tc!d Mr. Jowett, placed naked in the box and hot or cold water was poured on thorn for a period of 15 minutes until the wretched men were in a state of collapse. It was, they said, the English equivalent of the Chinese water torture, and Mr. Jowett hastened to interrogate the Homo Secretary. "Probably the lion, member has heard of the old shower-bath in Dartmoor Prison," was the cutting reply of Mr. Brace, the Under-Secretary for the Uoin» Office. "It 6tands in the hospital, aDd is similar to the shower-batba which were at olio time not uncommon in private houses. It has not been used for many' years." Inhale NAZOL every day and coughs and colds will stay away. Penetrating and germ-killing, yet absolutely safe for everyone. Sixty doses Is. Gd. Use the Nazol Inhaler. —Advt.
