Word has been received that the
Department of the Interior has made
a new ruling in regard to homestead
ers in that they may not borrow
money on which to commute, that
they may not borrow money on their
land until they have had a title to
it. This works hardship on those
who wish to raise money to commute
and also for the purchase of teams
with which to work their land, as
titles may not come to the commuter
until perhaps three years have passed
after proving up.

Men, Women and AdJeOtivos.

Certain adJectives are reserved for
men and others for women. A man is
never called beautiful" Along with
pretty" and lovely" that adjective
has become the property Of women and
children alone. Handsome" and the
weak good looking" are the only two
adjectives Of the kind common to Ell
ther sex. Even belle" has no real
masculine correlative In English, since
beau" came to signify something 9TH
or than personal looks. 1t is singular
that handsome" should have become
the word for a strikingly good looking
person, since its literal meaning is
handy, dexterous. But pretty like
wise comes from the Anglo-Saxon word
meaning "sly."

THE Government Hospital for the In
] sane has just opened its male
nurses home.
The building is designed to accom-
modate a large number OF the male
nurses and attendants who have here
tofore been quartered in buildings in
which patients were cared for. They
will be enabled under the new condi-
lions when work on the wards is over
TO 20 to a building removed from the
patients and containing homelike ap-
pointments.
The need of such a home has been
recognized by the hospital authorities
for a long time. In the plans originally
prepared for the extension OF the
asylum there was provision made for
the erection of such 4 structure. 1t
was finally eliminated.
A building three stories high, how
ever, was erected for the female
nurses and attendants when the hos
pital extension was completed. As no
appropriation was available for the
construction of building for the male
nurses, all that it was possible 70 do
was to remodel one of the buildings
already on the hospital reservation.
The building finally selected is what
was known as the east lodge. Several
years ago it was utilized for female pa
tients. 1t is combined three-story
and two-story brick building.
Entirely remodeled to meet the re-
quirements of the situation, it con-
tains 33 roomy apartments, capable of
providing for about So men. It is
lighted throughout by electricity. Lava
