VIM. T. Cross Thinks That Is the
Cure for the Insane.

VIM. T. Cross was born and
raised in Mexico and graduated
from our High School. Ten years
ago he was an employee in the
Message office. He is an eXcellen:
fellow and hard student; a gradu.
ate of the Missouri University
He is now secretary of the State
Boardof Charities and Corrections
Last week Mr.. Cross visited the
State Hospital at Nevada for the
purpose of consulting and deciding
upon the plans of construction of
a special industrial building there.
for the erection of which the last
Legislature appropriated $4,000
cit is the consensus of opinion
of the leading alienists that nearly
all insane patients could be en-
ployed," Mr.. Cross said to a Uni
versity Missourian reporter, "lnd
that in this lies the greatest hope
and opportunity for restoring them
to a normal mental condition. Dc
cupation is the coming gospel for
the solution, in large measure, of
the problem of insanity. The pos
sIbilities in this line of treatment
have never been fathomed. Sc
far as tried it has been found OF
especial benefit with the patients
of the acute type of insanity.
cat the Cook county, ILL.,, asy-
lum, an attendant, teaching an
awkward man patient to twist a
rough basket, and as he sat silent
ly struggling, she said to. him
DO you like this?' To which he
responded with the sudden aD-
ruptness which characterizes pa
tients usually silent, My God, yes.
Anything is better than sitting
idle all day in the wards. This
man was typical.
"It is the general custom for pa
tients to be allowed to sit around,
silent, preoccupied, brooding over
fancied troubles with diseased
mind, and drifting farther from
the state of a mentally rational
being. The new doctrine of en-
plOyment at a constructive, pur-
pOseful task, is destined to won
defully improve this condition and
custom.
1t is the purpose of the mana
gers at Nevada hospital to intro
duce many of the handicrafts in
giving occupation to the patients,
such as basket weaving, leather
working, etc.

Auto Race.

Frank Moore, James Bledsoe
and Paul Weber, all of Mexico,
were in the great automobile race
at the Columbia Fair last week,
and they won the three first places
in the event. Moore was first,
running five miles in eight minutes
and seven seconds; Bledsoe was
second, and Weber third. But one
other machine was in the race,
This was another case when Mex
leo gave Columbia some excite
ment and fun.

1t should also be brought
strongly to the attention of the
farmer that he should bring his
eggs to his trading place at least
twice a week. County merchants
or cash dealers should arrange to
candle all eggs purchased from the
farmers or producers, and should
make preparations right now to
put up some kind of a Gambling de-
vice for this purpose.
We further believe that the mer-
chants or cash dealers should
try to get the farmer to
retain for his own use all
extremely small, very dirty
or cracked eggs, as these eggs de-
teriOrate much quicker, and also
have a tendency to bring down the
average price paid for the eggs.
If you sell bad eggs on the mar
ket the merchant is going to be
forced to take that fact into ac-
count and he cannot long afford
to pay you the price he could pay
for good eggs. Candle your eggs /;
at least do not bring any bad ones
to the market.

STAMP OUT COLDS.
Boston Chamber of Commerce
Has Issued Preventive Rules.

In the line to aid, as far as pos.
sible, the suppression of common
colds, the committee on preven.
ton of disease, Of the Boston
chamber of commerce, has com
piled a statement of the causes OF
colds and a few rules will aid in
avoiding them, as follows:
Colds are contagious. They arc
caused by germs. You catch cold
just as you catch diptheria. The
germs of colds are sprea, from
the nose and mouth of one person
to another.
Draughts, wet feet, chilling Gl
the body and sudden changes of
temperature will not in them
selves cause a cold. (Stiff neck
and other muscular pains are not
here included.) These conditions
may weaken the body, help the
germs, favor the development cf
colds and make them worse. II
is worth nothing that the artic
explorers never suffer from colds
until they become infected from
their fellow men on their return
to civilization.
Do not get close to others who
have colds.
Do not use handkerchiefs.
towels and cups that have been
used by people who have colds,
Even though you 10 not get your
cold from your neighbor, don t
pass it on.
Do not neglect cold. 1t may
lead to serious complications. Dur
ing the first few days, if yOu have
fever, stay in bed. This will help
you and protect others from get
ting your cold. Take a laxative
and use simple household rene
dies. If these do not help you,
call "a doctor.
Do not sneeze or cough except
into your handkerchief.
Do not spit on the floor; to do
so may spread colds, tuberculosis
and other diseases.
You will be able to resist the
germs causing colds if You keep
your body in good condition.
/. Breathe pure air, avoid dust
take regular exercise, get plenty
of sleep and rest eat wholesome
food and do not sit for long hours
in stuffy room.
Colds come from the bacteria
in your mouth, teeth, nose and
throat, therefore keep these parts
clean.

THEM BAD EGGS.
Don't Bring EN- to Market-The
Message Gets an
Interview.

Columbia, Mo-, July 30.-Doctor
w. p. Cutler, State Food and
Dairy Commissioner, is planning a
crusade against dealers who are
marketing stale and rotten eggs,
This is prompted by a letter re-
ceived from a man in Perry, Rails
County, who is willing to testify.
At present Doctor Cutler is busy
investigating the ice cream pois-
oning cases at Joplin, and the egg
J.. crusade is next on his calendar.
'SOne of our chief difficulties in
banishing the traffic in adulterated
foods and stale eggs, said Doctor
Cutler today, "is the apathy and
Indifference Of the people, the un-
willingness Of those who know the
law is being violated to testify in
cases which might be brought.
To-day" he continued, "I re-
ceived a letter from a man in Per-
Try, Rails county, which warrants
me in saying that there will be
prosecutions there which will
bring results. If every county in
the State had a few men like this
it would not take long to drive
them who are marketing stale
eggs and adulterated foods out Of
business"
The letter from Perry said, in
part;
"The law is being violated here
daily on account of competition
among the merchants. When / re-.
fuse to buy rotten eggs the pro-
ducer takes his eggs to the mer-
chant, and the merchant will either
send them back to me or if / kick
he will ship them out.
There are producers here who
gather up stale and rotten eggs
and eggs that do not hatch, take
them to market and force dealers
to buy them. This unlawful traf-
fic is hurting the sale of Missouri
eggs and has cost me several
thousand dollars. l will furnish
evidence and act as a witness, re.
gardless of who the offender is.
You are needed here worse than
in any place in the State"
The writer accompanies his
complaint with a list of dealers in
Perry, Center, Santa Fe, Victor,
Florida, Newport, Huntsington
and Madison, all in Northeast Mis-
souri,, who are handling stale and
rotten eggs.
81 shall take up the Rails
county matter just as soon as | am
through with investigation of ice
, cream poisoning cases at Joplin, T"

Apropos to the above the Mes
sage dropped in upon the Swift
& Co. poultry plant here last Mon
day and interviewed them on a
point Or two. Mr.. V. F. Ryan is
the polite manager of this plant
In many instances he says his
plant is buying eggs at loss. A
few days ago he bought four eases
-120 dozen-and there were only
GO dozen good eggs in the pur-
chase. In another instance he
bought 60 dozen and when he
candled them there were only 3S
dozen good eggs in the lot.
Mr.. Ryan gave us the following
interview:
The Pure Food Commission in
the various western states has been
making for the past two years a
Peampaign against the sale OF rot
ten eggs. We believe it is the in
terest of producers, merchants AMI
wholesalers to aid the commissions
ers of the states in improving the
quality of eggs marketed. We be.
lieve that the greatest amount Of
good can be done by the mer-
chants and shippers warning the
farmer against the sale Of rotten
eggs, advising him to gather his
eggs daily from the nests and keep
them in a cool place.
We urge the producer to bring
in eggs fresh every day or two
and in bringing them to market
to keep the eggs shaded from the
sun.
