THE INCREASE OF INSANITY.

Four thousand insane persons, in
mates Of Iowa's institutions for the in
sane are costing the state about $3.50
. day or about 100000 year. The
insane population is increasing. The
prison population is decreasing. Alto
gether in state institutions the wards
Of the state number nearly 5000. The
average cost for maintenance for each
of these was 81 cents day. 1t spoils
100000.
Why is the insane population so
greatly on tho increase? Perhaps we
are sending few to the asylum whom
we would have sent to prison but not
many. The question is important not
only in its economic butts humanitarian
aspect. If our insane population is or
the increase while the general popula-
tion is standing still something must
be wrong in Iowa and with her people.
What is it?
Perhaps the statistics of the liquor
traffic and its bearing on insanity might
assist explanatory effort. Possibly the
illicit sale of cocaine and other
brain and nerve destroying drugs might
be investigated to our enlightment.
We are not q state of degenerates nor
of weaklings. The bulk Of our popula-
tion lives much outdoors and pursues
healthful occupations. Why is insanity
increasing in Iowa?
Making all allowance for the strain
of business, how many business men go
insane from the worry of their bust
ness? How many carpenters, plumbers,
and farmers break down mentally from
hard work? Ransack your memory for
the man who worked hard enough to
sleep O. nights and went crazy from
the strain of labor. Then analyze the
causes of the cases of insanity under
your own observation and mark the
real causes of their mental breakdown
Hard work is rarely one of them? 1t is
something else. What? -Marshalltow1

MAIL BOX RULING.
New Regulations Sent Out by De-
partment at Washington.

Postmasters in Iowa have received
the following instructions from the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
division of rural delivery, relative to
the rural routes out of Iowa towns, and
ordering that all boxes be placed SO as
to be convenient for the carriers:
In order to expedite the delivery,
collection and dispatch of rural mail,
enable rural carriers to cover their
routes with celebrity, and give the
earliest possible service to patrons re-
siding on the far ends of routes, the
department will insist that all rural
mail boxes be so located as to be served
with the greatest expedition.
You are, therefore, directed to re-
quire each rural carrier at your Office
to submit to you without delay, for
transmission to the department, the
names of all patrons whose boxes can
not be served without leaving the road,
dismounting, driving in deep bitches
or on steep inclines, or on or across
railway tracks involving danger, or the
approaches to whose boxes are OBJ
structed. 1t is not required that boxes
shall be erected beside the wheel tracks,
not on any particular corner of the
crossroads; but they must be erected
within the confines of the road, and
accessible, on any corner.
1t is not desirable that boxes be at.
taohed to telegraph, telephone or cleo
trio light poles, or to fences or build
ing, but boxes should be securely fast
ened to neat and strong posts firmly set
at the side of the roads, at sufficient
height to be served by carriers without
rising from their seats or reaching
through wheel spokes.
After boxes have been properly re,
located, and it is practicable to curtail
carriers schedules, postmasters will
advise this office, SO that changes in
schedules may be considered.
Patrons of rural routes will be ex
pected to comply with the instructions
from the department. Road supervisors
will be expected to cooperate with the
postmaster in securing an improvement
in the roads.

For the first time in ten years the
United States army enlistmonts have
brought the force to it's maximum limit.
Hard times undoubtedly have assisted
greatly toward this result. That nearly
1900 applicants have been rejected in
fourteen months, while over 1000 were
accepted, is no reflection on the actual
physical efficiency of the men turned to
the recruiting Offices by unemployment.
The army standard of requirement is
high and can in time of peace be rig
idly maintained. An acceptable proper
ton of nearly 80 per cent in miscel-
laneous and scattered throng il rather
to the national credit on the basis of
averages.
