INSANITY NOT ON THE INCREASE

Although tho total number OF pa
tients in the insane asylums OF Viz
ainia now Is greater than at any other
time, mental maladies cannot he said
to be on the increase because the popu'
lation OF the state IS now larger than
ever before. This is the opinion OF
State Hospital Commissioners J. N;
Bauserman, OF Shenandoah, who iiled
his FIRST annual report with Governor
Mann Wednesday. At present there
ass 8 1908 patients in the several asy-
lums. This is a gain Of 20S IN the
total 10 the last year, but the popula-
tion has increased many times 2O3
persons 10 the past twelve months. Dir.
Bauser reports all the hospitslsin ex-
cellent condition, and says the epileptic
hospital in Amherst county Will be
+, eady by the date fixed by the legisla-
ture. OF the total Of 1928 persons IN
sane in the state, 1875 are colored.
The cost OF caring for an insane pa
tent is lowest at the negro asylum IN
Petersburg, being only slO5.69 year,
aud highest at the Eastern, where the
per capita cost is Sl57, 80.
