THIRTEEN SENT
TO HOSPITAL
ALL BUT ONE INSANE ARE
EASTERNERS
Patients Have Been Brought to Cali
fornia in Hopes That Climate
Would Benefit Mental
Health

During the past week thirteen mel
and women have been sent from Lo.
Angeles county to the insane asylum
at Patton, most of them incurables
and all, with the exception of one
being residents of eastern states ane
in California for their health.
For some time the insane list for
this county has been increasing rap
idly. The handling of insanity patients
has become one Of the heaviest parts
of the work of a sheriff's Office and
officers are kept on the go night and
day visiting distant parts of the county
securing people who have become un-
controllable by those who have cared
for them.
Since Sheriff Hammels Inauguration
in office the number of persons handled
by him has increased considerably over
the number cared for by the county
during the same period last year.
Thus far 30 per cent of the patients
for the year have been fasteners who
have been in Los Angeles less than
two years and generally less than ten
months.
Some of them are insane when they
reach the city. Others have been taken
from eastern asylums and sent here
by their relatives in the hope that they
may be bettered. In most of those
cases Jlle patient is generally IN pad
condition when he arrives in Los An
geles after the rough trip. Many
stories are constantly printed about
trouble on transcontinental trains be-
tween insane people and train officials
and it is said that most of these dis
turbances occur because of the east
erner's desire to get his relative away
from home at any cost.
One Woman Dismissed
Out of the fourteen alleged insane
patients to be tried in the local courts
last week one, woman, was dismissed.
She had lived in Los Angeles most of
her life and had become eccentric
about guarding her property from what
she termed the attempts of real estate
men to get it from her.
A second Angeleno had lived in Los
Angeles eighteen years, and several
months ago fell from a building, sus-
tanning a fracture of the skull. With
those exceptions the list of last week
were easterners.
One girl, young artist. had been
brought tC Los Angeles in a terrible
condition after having been stricken
with paralysis in Arizona. She had
been taken to the territory in the hope |
that she might be benefited, but her |
case was hopeless.
A young musician of Pittsburg, who |
had been in Los Angeles less than |
eight months, was another victim. He |
had been taking morphine for five |
years and came west hoping to break |
himself of the habit
V. D. Lauer, a religious crank whose |
birthplace was Holland and residence |
New York, was another of the patients |
sent to the hospital.
Such cases have gone far to prove,
according to the statements of physi-
clans, that it IS not the electrical at
mosphere of California that has pro-
duced these mental wrecks. but rather |
the atmOSnhere of the eastern states |

Powder and Rouge

A lady wants to know IL powder and
rouge soften or make the skin coarse.
HIM! Powder and rouge! Beautiful
conglomerations of the chemists art.
In my opinion any woman who would
adorn her face with powder and rouge
makes a great mistake: These chem
ical compounds not only do not soften
the skin. but render it in short time
decidedly coarse.

Sleep

one who is subject to insomnia asks
me for remedy to overcome IT.
shatl first have to know what the
cause or the insomnia is. AS a general
proposition it may be said that in
somhia can be readily overcome by
auto-suggestion. When you retire try
to forget your troubles. Try to forget
them the very moment you Law your
mead on the pillow. Then commence
to make suggestions to yourself about
sleep. Have naught In mind but sleep.
Say to yourself a hundred times, II
am asleep, l am asleep, 1 am asleep,
l am sleeping, 1 am sleeping" If you
VIII repeat these formulae every even
ing for a few days you will eventually
overcome the insomnia: unless there
is some organic trouble, in which event
1t must be looked after.
