Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OP MODERN SCIENCE
THE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
lar eliminationi This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Most
diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body”—to
the' accumulation of- clogging waste matter or poisons at vital
organs.
For-centuries the- world has recognized the value of health'
springs* and medical officers now attribut the value of the fam
ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one of nd(ure’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroying poisons and building healthy cellb
• and tissues.
It is now -possible for everyone, sick or well, to have perpetu
ally, and -at reasonable cost, the splendid Jbeneflts of » genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—
the revigator water jar.

produced minerals worth $13,812,000
during the year 1930. The value of.
the gold was $8,470,000, an increase
of over $700,000 from the previous
year, but the value of copper de-;
creased from $7,130,000 to $4,244,600.
The coal produced was 120,100 tons,.
valued at $631,000, coming from the
Matanuska and Healy fields, with
37,128 tons imported from the Slates
and 23,892 imported chiefly from

WHAT PRISONERHiBWr
AT MARQUETTE PRISON
_., i
LANSING, Mich.—Michigan) feeds
its murderers beef steak and roasts’
for dinner and eggs and. sausages for
breakfast, and spends mote for- the
food for hardened criminals than for
the sick in State hospitals.
Segregated in the Marquette prison
in the upper peninsula are 963 killers
and habitual felons, all serving life
or long sentences. They work eight
hours a day four days a week and
eat like fussy epicu - -s. Their upkeep,
costs the taxpayi $1,413.76 a day,
seven days a week. ' Approximately
half this sum represents their food:
i bill.
And the State this month has ad
vertised 430,000 pieces of property
for sale for non-payment of taxes,
are losing their property because
Throughout Michigan home owners
they are unable to pay the toll de
manded by their government.
To the thousands of families whose
bread-winners have been out of work
this winter and who have been forced
to live on the most meager foods, a
Marquette prison menu must sound
like the bill of fare from the finest
hotel. Senator Albert J. Engel, of
Lake City, looked it over today and
exclamed:
“Nnot one family in twenty in my
district eats foid like that. Yet these
men are the killers who are pitied by
certain groups because the State
keeps them within stone walls and
iron bars.”
For the benefit of those who feel
that Michigan is unkind to its hard
ened criminals, here is a typical
menu:
Sunday — Breakfast, corn flakes
with milk and sugar, buttered toast,
rock cookies and coffee; dinner, roast
beef and dressing, mashed potatoes
and gravy, cabbage salads, green
onions, bread and elljy layer cake;
supper, corn pqdding, with milk,
bread and butter, lunch cake, coffee.
Monday—Breakfast, pork sausage
and potatoes, to finger rolls,, bread
and butter and coffee; dinner, boiled
smoked and cabbage, boiled po
tatoes and gravy and bread; supper,
spaghetti with hamburg, Parker
House rolls, butter and cocee.
Tuesday—Breakfast, peach sauce,
bacon and potatoes, hot buttered rolls
and coffee; dinner, vegetable soup,
fried sweet pork, baked beans, bread
and butter and pickles; supper, frank
furter sausage, mashed potatoes and
gravy, plain buns, bread and butter
and coffee.
Wednesday — Breakfast, boiled

No prisoner is restricted as to
quantity. They may help themselves
to as much as. they can eat,.but no
inmate is allowed to leave uneaten
food on. his plate. One \”ing of the
institution is older than the remain
der and as a special consideration to
chose who inhabit the less convenient
-ells they are permitted to do their
own cooking if they wish. Each has
a small stove as a part of his equip
ment and can obtain pork chops,
steaks and other foods from the com
missary.
While the hardened criminals in
the upper peninsula prison, enjoy the
finest food, the first termers in the
Ionia reformatory receive meals cost
ing only half as much. The reason is
that the Ionia institution feeds the
inmates stews and meat loaf and’
other dishes that can be made from
less costly meat. Stews, apparently,
would lower the dignity or otherwise
offend the murderers. The Jackson
prison menu is between the two.
Satisfactory.
“So you wish to marry my daugh
ter. What is your financial condi
tion?”
“Well, sir, I’ve figured out every
exempton possible. I’ve had the best
legal advice that money could secure:
I’ve done everything I could to dodge
it—and I still find that I cannot es
cape an income tax.”
“Take her, my boy. She’s yours.”
