Part of Their Work
RESULT OF RECENT SUITS
Board of Supervisors Will Now Make
Recommendation of Applications for
Parole of Insanes-Action Takes
From Devine and Meeker So a Hear
ing for Which They Brought Suit
and Won.

Hereafter applications for the parole
of insane patients, sent from THIS
county to the state hospitals, will be
passed on by the board of supervisors
instead of by the county commissioners
of insanity. The board has already
passed on one case, and will do so III
others, it having secured the authority
from the state board of control. This
departure in procedure in the case OF
parols is a direct slap at DR.. w. S.
Devine and f. l.. Meeker. who, as COM
missioners Of insanity, have passed on
these applications and both have
charged the county So each for them.
The board refused recent bills of this
sort, and suit was brought which was
won by the commissioners of insan-
lty.
The supervisors now propose to save
this sum to the county by passing on
the applications themselves. A short
time ago w. H. Jones and c. E. Arney.
of the board of supervisors, presented
the subject to the state board of con-
troll and gained that body's consent to
their plan. AS result, the superyis-
ors have taken on themselves this duty,
which by custom has been delegated
to the commissioners of insanity.
Ever since the Meeker and Devine
cases were brought there has been ILL
feeling existing between the supervis-
ors and those members of the COM
mission. The supervisors have held
that the charge made by the commits
sioners for this work was exhorbitant.

A TORPID THINKER.
The Frequent Result of Coffee Poison
ing. :.

"A Toledo, O., business man says that
for three years he had no appetite for
breakfast; that about once a month he
ate solid food at that meal, generally
lcontenting himself with his cup of eof-
fee and having no desire for anything
else.
!, Coffee frequently plays this dog-in-
sthe-manger trick; while it furnishes no
nutriment itself, it destroys the appe-
tite for food which is nutritious. The
result was, in time, a torpid mentality,
which was a distinct handicap in his
business operations.

suited my brother, a practicing physi-
clan in Chicago, and he advised a diet

Hours.
Orders were issued by the Northwest
tern Thursday night TO all of it's oper-
ators, instructing them that they must
keep reasonable hours, that they must
sleep when they are supposed to sleep,
and that the habit of exchanging work
must cease. The order recites that all
operators, both day and night men,
must take the required amount of rest
and sleep to make them fit for work
when on duty; that they must not keep
unreasonable hours, and that the night
men must sleep in the day time when
they are supposed to. The habit of eN-
changing work, for day man to trade
work with a night man, so that one
or the other might get off, is to be dis
continued. The reason for the issu-
ance of the order could not be learned

as a precautionary measure and to bet
