Kind Treatment and Good Food !
Cure for Insanity.
Almost the entire percentage of in
sanity or of any mental disorder is
the result Of mental distress and wor.
ry," SO states Steward G. w. Britton
Of the Polk County Insane hospital Of
Iowa.
He gives it as his opinion that kind
treatment, good food and plenty OF
fresh air are the most potent RENE
dies for insanity. Altho all the pa
tients taken to this hospital are sup
posed to be incurable each year sew
eral persons are discharged as cured.
The only medicine given to the pa
tients in his charge are kindness, good
food and exercise in the open air. His
aim is to- keep his patients cheerful
and to prevent their brooding over
their condition or their grievances.
The attendants at this hospital must
treat the patients with gentle consider
alton reminding them by neither word
nor look that they are different from
other people. .e
Mr., Britton's experience in the cur
ing of insane people is recommended
by many other authorities who have
the care Of insane patients.
san ounce Of prevention IS worth a
pound of cure" This practice of kind
ness then might well be extended be-
yond the walks of our insane hospitals
and be observed in the ordinary walks
Of life. The more kindness and sun
shine and the more wholesome indus
try there is in human existence the
less Of misery of any kind can exist.

THE great number of mine accidents
! and the appalling loss of life there.
from has prompted the United States
government to invite Great Britain,
Germany and Belgium to send their
leading experts in such matters to this
country to cooperate with the efforts
now being made through the United
States geological survey to establish
an experimental station at Pittsbure
and to inaugurate the work there OF
testing explosives used in coal mining.
Congress at its last session appropri-
ated $4,000 for this purpose, and
this sum has been turned over to the
survey.
It is said that abroad mine ex-
plosives are tested, and those which
are deemed standard for the purpose
of mining are labeled "permissible." "
There is no such condition here, nor
has the geological survey the right to
impose it. 1t may, however, endeavor
to ascertain the facts by investigation,
and then set them forth for the bene-
flt Of mine operators and for the in
formation of state legislators.
Last year 5000 men were killed in
the mines and the year before 2,O61.
The rate for 1906 was 3.34 for every
thousand men employed, while for
1907 it was still greater. In four mines
alone nearly 500 men were killed since
last December-356 in the disaster at
Monongah, w. Va, said to be the most
appalling, so far as the loss of life is
concerned, in the history Of mining:

JINGLE SAM is getting wise on one

tries like to have him send millionaires

but are disposed to be decidedly
niggardly when it comes to their rep
resentatives spending money in

Secretary Root is credited with be-

good account. Mr.. Root resents the
position of the foreign governments in
requiring money qualification of an
American ambassador.
Of course what ambassadors and
ministers spend here on private en-

not be reckoned. But their entertain

Dickson's dog ate chicken, bones

his snoot and paws in a finger bowl.
Dickson dried him off with a napkin.
When Dickson got his bill there was
an extra item on it-"Breakage,
