Y. M. G. A. FINANCES.
4 Second Campaign Begun Inst Even
ing to Raise Money.

During the past two years the ordi =
nary revenues Of the Y. VI. G. A. were
much reduced because Of liberal con
tributons diverted to the building
fund. 1t is therefore necessary to
canvas the city again in order to find
ant how much the people of Burling-
ton are willing to give yearly toward
the conduct OF the work It requires
at least $1,000 year to do what is
desired and net revenues from the
building will for two wears or more
10 come. provide less than $4,000 an
nually of this amount.
In this campaign the purpose is to
secure pledges during the next ten
days for the fiscal year ending April
J. 1910. 1t Is hoped to enlist so mem
bers who viii aid in the canvas. In
this way 1t will be possible to know
by June ! just what revenue may be
depended upon, so that plans can he
made to carry on the activities of the
Y. NJ. G. A. in such way as 10 avoid
unpaid bills at the end OF the year
The Y. NJ C. a. serves a useful pur-
pose and does very necessary work
here, Most families will want 10 CON
tribute something TO 1t. II those who
can help in soliciting subscriptions
will take hold chserfuly the canvas
Will be a burden to no one.

ONLY ONE Case
OF DIPHTHERIA

The death rate in this district, which
seemed abnormally low for several
months, is gradually climbing up.
December the report OF the local reg
istrar showed II deaths. which was
only slightly higher than the death
rate of the three preceding months.
The same report for January shows 81
deaths.
The season has now arrived when
the rigors of winter with the many
and sudden changes in atmospheric
conditions is beginning to demand its
toll of sickness and death.
During January there were report.
ed two cases of typhoid tever as against
none in December. AS relates to diph-
liberia the showing is more favorable.
In December six cases of diphtheria
were reported in few days time. The
outbreak was sufficiently marked to
attract the attention Of State Health
Commissioner DR. Dixon, who wrote
Dr. Shultz, the local registrar, asking
him TO explain the cause. by the tlm@
that Dr. Shultz could reply it was
evident that the disease was on the
decline. During January but one case
of diphtheria was reported The cases
reported in December existed in diff
ferent parts of town and could not be
traced to auy common source. They
were merely accidental in their origin.
During January there were two
cases of pneumonia and two OF scarlet
fever. No deaths resulted from com.
municable diseases.
OF the 81 deaths reported occurred
at the hospital for the insane. Twen-
ty-one deaths, the local registrar states,
has been the average number for sew
eral years past.

RELATING TO
THE HOSPITAL

The official reports of the trustees
and officers of the State hospital for
the insane at Danville are out for the
biennial period ending September 80,
1908. The reports embody much infor.
nation that Is of general interest.
The trustees. report for the biennial
period shows the per capita cost per
patient for the period. The expendit.
ures for maintenance for the year end
ing August 13, 1907, amounted to 1862
l65.o OIL, making the prorata cost 202. "a
per year or 80. SO per week.
The expenditures for maintenance
for the year ending August 81. 1908,
amounted to $3.50, OS3. 50, representing
the yearly cost per patient of s20s OF,
an average weekly cost of $4.00.
The trustees report asks the board
of public charities and the board of
lunacy to recommend an appropriation
for the erection of a permanent build
ing, of capacity of about fifty patti
ents, for the segregation and care of
hospital, first because they are of the
degenerate class, easily impressed by
infectious diseases; second, being help
less they should have every protection
from preventable diseases; third, tub
erculosis being contagious and infec-
tious, it should be confined in safe
circumscribed limits and not diffused
ms at present in the hospital.
The trustees also ask that an ap.
preparation be recommended for the
purchase of more land. The present
estate, including the last purchase,
embraces less than 500 acres, the small
est quantity of land owned by any
similar institution in the State. A
valuable tract Of land adjoining the
hospital farm is now said to be avail
able and the trustees propose that the
Legislature be asked for an appropria
tion sufficient to purchase it.
Among other important needs which
the trustees ask be recommended t
the Legislature are s33, 600 for an EN-
ployes building to accommodate A.
men $22, 900 for an employees build
ing to accommodate % women $l5, 00C
for home for convalescent male patti
ents; sl5. 900 for home for convalescen
female patients.
The superintendent report show
that at the end of the biennial period
September 30, 1908, there were remain
ing in the hospital, males, us; fe
males, 66S; total, 1886. The norma
capacity of the institution is 500 men
45O women or $50 total. The numbe
remaining is an excess of 22O men, 81
women or 43s. When the buildings il
course of erection are ready for oc
cupancy, additional room will be pro
vided for l15 men and 275 women.
Five male cases were admitted un

! charged and two remain under treat

ANGER Is DANGEROUS.
II Wrecks the Whole System and
Tends to Shorten Life.

1t is well known that violent fit of
temper affects the hceTt instantly, and
psychophysicists have discovered the
presence of poison in the blood imme-
diately after such outburst. This ex-
plains why we feel so depressed. ex-
hausted and nervous after any storm
of passion-worry, jealousy or revenge
has swept through the mind. 1t has
left in its wake vicious mental poison
brain and blood.
There is no constitution so strong
but it will ultimately succumb to the
constant rackinG and twisting of the
nerve centers caused by an uncon-
trolled temper Every time you be-
come angry you reverse all of the nor
NAL mental and physical processes
Everything in you rebels against pas
sion storms; every mental faculty pro-
tests against their abuse.
If people only realized what havoc
indulgence in hot temper plays in
their delicate nervous structure, if
they could only see with the physical
eyes the damage done as they can see
what follows in the wake of tornado,
they would not dare to get angry.
When the brain cells are overheated
from fit of temper their efficiency is
seriously impaired, If not absolutely
ruined. The presence of the anger poi
son, the shock to the nervous system,
is what makes the victim so exhausted
and demoralized after loss of self con
trol.-Orison SWEET Marden in Success

LOCKERS FOR MATINEE HATS
Manager of a Paris Theater Provides
Them For Patrons.


A clever theatrical manager in Paris
has found a way of solving the matt
nee hat question which has been vex-
ing that city, says Town and Country.
1t has all along been urged, with rea-
son, that hat costing over 800 should
not be left in the cloakroom with sticks
and overcoats.
NJ. Gemier, who manages the Thea
tire Antoine, appreciated the reasonable
ness of this argument and has pleased
the women of Paris by catering to
their hats instead OF ordering them
out Of the theater when they refused
to leave them in the cloakroom.
He has lined the corridor of his play
house with pigeonholes and fitted mir
rors at convenient places. Every lady
on booking her seat gets key which
fits the pigeonhole allotted to her place,
and she can thus rest assured that her
latest piece of millinery will not suf-
fer This is far wiser arrangement
than rising in wrath against the matt
nee hat. FOR nowadays there is often
a good deal of coiffure attached to a
hat, and the locker system keeps the
secret.
