From time to time charges of
brutality and incompetence on the
part of hospital employees are made.

HOSPITAL FOR INSANE CRITICISED,

According to the annual report of
the state board of visitors which has
just been filed with Governor Eber-
hart, the inmates of hospitals for
the insane in Minnesota are canned
like sardines.'
The report declares that the pres.
ent institutions are so badly over
crowded that great injustice is done
to the inmates.
The board of visitors recommend:
A new asylum to relieve over
crowded institutions.
More industrial work and recre-
alton for the insane.
Fire proof buildins only. ..t

seperate sleeping quarters. 5

HOW TO SAVE MONEY IN THE KITCHEN.

The high cost of living apparent
ly can be reduced, if the housewife
really wishes to do So Some val
liable hints are given by woman
contributor to the January Define
ator. She says:
II am proud of the economies l
practise in the culinary line. I can
make one egg go a long way The
yolks give one either mayonnaise
dressing or fritters; the whites a
cake or frosting for cake.
"Out of ten cents worth of soup
meat I succeed in getting my stock,
and, before putting it into the pot,
I cut off enough meat to make tasty
casserole consisting of the meat, a
little garlic, green peppers, tomato
or whatever vegetable I may have
on hand).
"A Sunday dinner for three often
consists of tomato soup, a cross-rib
roast (pot roast or cooked rare) ,
spaghetti, Italian style, Drowned po-
tatoes, and the half egg fritters and
coffee. Hamburg steak appears up
on the table under the guise of bird, S
nest savory, portions of hard-boiled
egg being encased in each meat ball
and accompanied by tasty tomato
sauce (whose secret is long cooking)
"Corned beef and cabbage,
straight one day, is responsible for
meal the following day, consisting
of corned beef hash and cabbage
au gratin. My company cake is a
marshmallow one which I made out
of one egg and five cents, worth of
mallows.
brownies are on my favored cake
list; one egg, ten cents worth ofnuts
and little molasses make a plateful
of small cakes which are excellent.
These are a few of my economies. -

Inventions Made By Women.

A woman patented a continuance
for trimming the bottom of dress
skirts so they would hang evenly
a great boon to the home dress.
maker. Another suggested to her
husband, who was mechanically in.
clined, that the thermometer on the
outside of an oven really told nothing
about the heat inside; what the oven
needed was a beat Wholesome
arrangement whereby an aperture
in the oven would automatically open
when there was too much heat, thus
maintaining the correct temperature
for baking bread.
He perfected the idea, patented
it, and has. profited largely through
its sale.
Another woman, after unsuccessful
efforts to find a corset that would
adjust itself to her, corpulent figure,
discovered the lack that had not
been provided for by the corset
makers and set about designing one
to suit herself. She perfected her
plan, found it great comfort,
patented the idea, and is today at
the head of a large factory where
these special corsets are made. An
invalided husband had reduced her
sew 'ng by the day for living for
both before she thought of her new
corset.
Another woman discovered through
experiment food-mixture that
made her hens lay; she gave it a
name, patented it, and put it on the
market with the greatest success.
Another compounded disinfectant
that killed insect life in her chicken
house, and that also proved efficac-
ious for use in hospitals and homes
following infectious illnesses. This
was patented and now sold in large
quantities.-The Dellneator for
