R0BY IS BACK.
Topeka Boy Now in U. S. Hospital
! Corps Visits Old Home.

Albert Roby, a former Topeka boy,
who is now in the hospital corps of
the United States army, located at
San Francisco, is in Topeka visiting
old friends and relatives for few
days. He is a son of DIR. H. W. Roby.
Mr.. Roby is on his way back to San
Francisco from Washington, where he
had taken eleven insane soldiers from
the Philippines to the national aSy-
lum, Insanity among the soldiers is
quite prevalent in the Philippines ac-
cording to Mr.. Roby, who has twice
been in these island possessions. The
greater portion of insane cases are
due to the American soldiers imbibing
too freely of the Philippine intoxi-
eating beverages. There is one drink,
known as Dino that brings grief to
many of the soldiers. This is made
from the oil of cocoanut palm tree,
the milk of the eocoanut, and from
palm oils. 1t is a drink which Mr..
Roby describes as very sweet and re-
freshing. 1t contains from thirty to
fifty per cent alcohol, but this part of
the drink is disguised by the sweet
ness. 1t does not affect a soldier like
the common whisky which causes
drunkenness, but it is much worse
causing the victim to grow Temporal
rily insane. The insanity at first lasts
no longer than the ordinary case of
drunkenness, but it sooner or later
gets the victim in state of perman-
emit insanity.
Insanity from this cause. according
to Mr.. Roby, has grown to large pro-
portions since the abolition of the
American army eanteen. Before that
was abolished the soldiers who drank
could get American beer for five cents
glass, the same as it is retailed in
this country. Now it costs fifty cents
for a pint bottle, which makes it al
most prohibitive. Whisky and other
American beverages costs much more.
Bino costs only ten cents a gallon.
The tropical sun causes a good deal
of insanity, as does the "querida''
habit, which is the term used in con-
nection with the unmarried soldiers
who associate with the Philippine
women, and contract native diseases
as a result.
The sanitary conditions in the is
lands Mr.. Roby describes as improv-
ing under American control. The mos
