HOSPITAL REFORMS
EARNESTLY ADVOCATED
IN NEW YORK
<x<x<<xx<xx~<xx<x<<,

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Aug. IA number Of
radical changes in the methods
employed in the state hospitals
are contemplated by Governor
Odell, who has just completed a
tour of the state institutions.
The institutions affected by these
changes, it Is said. are at RAN
dall's Island. Middletown, Center
Islip, Kings Park and other
points. The governor aims at saw
ing $500.0O0 a year on state hospi-
tails alone.
Governor Odell is satisfied"
said member of his party. that
the state hospitals are too expen-
sively run. In his message he
cited the fact that the state has
$40, 100000 invested in buildings
and equipments, which, the gover-
nor said, showed that it has cost
1909 for each patient for build
ings and equipments.
This sum indicates. to the gov
ernOr's mind. that there has been
great extravagances in the matter
of buildings and equipments. He
is determined that in the future
greater economy shall be exercised
in appropriations for these pur-
poses."

been devoured figuratively over and over
again by the boy who finally landed in
the police drag net in the character of
a burglar.
Sullivan and Jones, who are each 16
or II years old, were arrested by OFF,
GERS Dowling and Henderson.
While they were still in the Rosen-
stein store, and before they had COM
pleted the burglary they We're engaged
in when discovered, they made des-
perate attempt to flee from the store
and escape arrest.
The officers entered by the front door
of the place, having been appraised
that burglary was in progress, and
upon their appearance the boys, fright
ered and rendered desperate by the
strait they found themselves in, rushed
through the store to the rear, hoping
to escape.
But, having effected their entrance by
a transome over the rear door, there
was no means of exit speedy enough,
and they were captured.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Thing. of Which 1t. Grndu
ntcs Are Ignorant.

ntcs Are Ignorant
The failure of the Sunday school as
a means of giving n systematic and
thorough knowledge of the Bible is
great. a teacher in n city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or so pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the International Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed in order to reach
Palestine, and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
the class In what part of the world
Palestine is located, and no one knew.
That is very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral.
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask few questions. The
ignorance Of the Bible on the part Of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part Of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again it has trans
PRED that those who were generally
well Informed, who were fairly well
educated and regarded as bright and
clever, were almost totally ignorant of
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
the book that was of any value, and,
however much they might have read it
since, it was to them sealed volume

Sometimes it happens that you get a
grease spot on letter or the page Of a
valuable book, and you are at once fill
ed with sense Of the hopelessness of
ever removing the ugly and irritating
blemish. says Home Chat. Here is q
remedy for the evil that has been tried
with success:
Heat an iron and hold it as near as
possible to the stain without discolor-
Ing the paper. when the grease or wax
will disappear. Upon any traces that
are left put powdered calcined magne-
sin for time. Bone well calcined and
powdered is an excellent absorbent of
grease; also plaster Of paris. For ex-
tracing spots of resinous nature use
cologne, turpentine or benzine.
