For Old Peonle.

After reaching the age of forty the
human system gradually declines. The
accumulated poisons in the blood cause
rheumatic pains in the joints, muscles
and back These warnings should be
promptly relieved and serious illness
avoided by using the following pre-
scription which shows wonderful re-
suits even after the first few doses and
it will eventually restore physical vigor:
"One ounce compound syrup of Sar-
saparilla; one ounce Toris compound;
half pint of high grade whiskey. This
to be mixed and used in tablespoonful
doses before each meal and. at bed.
time. The bottle to be well shaken
each time" Any druggist has these
ingredients or he will get them from
his wholesale house.

MONEY WASTED IN
0tERBROOK, SAYS
SINGING REPORT
Secretary OF Prison Association
Declares That Thousands
Are Frittered Away.

Declaring thai the Essex County
Asylum for the Insane has been man
aged SO ext~ravagantly thai it is not
only one Of the most e-xtravagant III
the country. but costs the taxpayers
between S64. 600 and s12S.0o0 in wasted
money every year, the state Charities
Aid and Prison Reform Association
has submitted to the Boar of Free
holders q report that ca. hardly fail
to arouse public condemnation.
OF seventeen similar institutions
compared by Joseph P. Byers, the sec
Rotary, who has submitted the report,
there is not one that approaches Over
brook either in the per capita cost of
patients maintenance or in the cost
OF employees salaries. Yet, despite
the $685., 246 which the taxpayers spent
upon that institution last year, the
critic finds that It's patients are seri-
ously affected by the enforced idleness,
which Is likely to prove fatal IN cases
Of minds already unbalanced, and he
charges thai the entire hospital sys-
tenn Is such a hodge-podge that eff
flcient treatment can hardly be eX-
pected. He declares that the extrava-
gance and the incompetence is due to
the dual government, and can only
10 rennedied by making the medical
superintendent the supreme power.
The blame for the situation he lays
upon the people of Essex county who
have tolerated it.
Per Capita Cost Compared.
10 prove his assertions OF extrava-
gance and waste at Overlook Mr..
Byers shows that the per capita cost
Of maintaining the 1881 insane patients
at Overlook last year was s279.66.
Then he goes on:
I'm four typical New York hospitals
located in New York city. Central
Islip, Long Island, Rochester and
Utica, the per capita cost OIL the same
basis as hat of Overlook, runs be-
tween s177.41 and $206.7t. The average
per capita cost in all of the New York
hospitals, thirteen in number, was
$191.04 for the year 1909.
'In Ohio the per capita cost varied
from $157.54 at Massillon to $194.12 at
Columbus. The experience of Ohio
with cottage systems demonstrates
that their cost of administration Is
less rather than more than under the
congregate plan.
I'm New Jersey, at Morris Plains, the
per capita cost for last year was s246.34.
This institution is second only to Over
brook in it's cost of administration.
The average per capita for salaries
and wages in all of the Ohio hospitals,
eight in number, was $51.02; in Indiana,
four hospitals, $67.93, and in the thir-
teen New York hospitals SIG. 20.
"At Morris Plains, N. j., the per
capita is $50 IS. The reason for the
excess at Overlook is accounted for
by the high rate Of wages and unusual
number OF employees.
cat O~verbrooH the per capita is 1926
for fuel and light. The average In New
