The ca thad been a pet for several
years in the family of Mrs. Max
Adams. The housewife attempted to
stroke the animal the other day, when
it sprang at her, viciously clawing and
biting her.
The woman succeeded in warding
off the cats leap at her throat, but it
chung to her left arm and sank its
fangs repeatedly into the flesh near
the elbow.
Several members of the University
club heard Mrs. Adams screams and
hurried to her rescue. By the time
she reached a physicians office her
arm had swollen to twice Its normal
size, and she was almost overcome by
the pain.
The wound was cauterized, but the

Board For Psychopathic Hospital.

The State Board OF Control has de.
cided to join with the State Board
of Education in asking the next legis.
lature to establish psychopathic
hospital in this state. 1t will be a
sort of clearing house for lowans
who are afflicted with various kinds
of mental diseases. Its main object
will be to separate those cases which
are of such a serious nature that the
treatment of an insane hospital is re.
quired from those in which the dis
order is just temporary.
The reason for asking for such a
hospital is found in the fact that too
frequently persons of slight mental
arrangement, only temporary, are
taken to insane hospitals.
Case of arrested mental develop.
ment in children, temporary derange-
ment brought on by undue excite.
ment, extreme cases of meloncholia
and mental disorders of this charac-
ter will be. treated in the hospital. 1t
will save many people the embarrass-
ment of being inmates of an insane
asylum.
