32,658 INSANE PATIENTS KNOWN
 IN NEW YORK
Each Succeeding Year Shows An Alarming In- crease of Mental Defec- tives.
New York Dec. 2S.

New York Dec. 2S.
 The persons in this State known to be insane number 32.65S All except 15O of them are in State institutions. There is one mentally defective per- son to each 279 of population. The mentally defective are growing in numbers each year, about 6,40O new cases being admitted to the institu- tions annually.
 These statistics were contained in an address delivered recently by D.. AL bert Warren Ferris, president of the State Comm. ssion in Lunacy at the New York Academy of Medicine be- fore a meeting called by the State Charities Aid Association as the first of a campaign for the prever tion of insanity.
 In 1880 the population of this State was 5.171,5S6, and the number of known insane reached 16,006. In 1910 the population of the State reached 9.11S,279, and the known insane total led 32.65S, which shows that the pop ulation of the State has increased at the rate of 47.S per cent. while the number of known insane has increas- ed 103.9 per cent. of those now in State hospitals are now of foreign birth.
 The other speakers were Dr. M. AL len Starr. professor of neurology in IlG SOIicSS LII TnySlCldnS anu SuT. geons; pr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, professor of social legislation. Colun- bia University. and Homer Folks sec retary of the State Charities Aid As sociation.
 Dr. Starr said he looked on the campaign for prevention with great hopefulness. The first step in pre- vention. he told the audience. was an appreciation of the causes. Dr. Starr quoted fram Kraepelin, the Munich authority, who divided the causes of insanity into internal and external causes. the one including inherited tendencies, imperfect development of the brain or faulty methods of early training. the second being divided in to physical and psychical causes.
 pr. Starr said it. was poss- ble to con- trol many of the external causes of insanity. He referred to benefits made possible by the pure food law and said wave of temperance would be of great avail. Psychicla causes, he said were more difficult to deal with, but something could be done if our over-energetic people could realize the necessity for moderation both in work and the indulgence of emotional ex- citement.
 Dr. Lindsay talked of the aims of the great social movements that have been organized on a national scale. They would abolish child labor. make tuberculosis as negligible factor as smallpox and make typhoid fever we'll nigh impossible.
 MT. Folks talk on Keeping the Devils Out dealt with the plan of campaign against tuberculosis and in- sanity

These few of the many engagements in which the 'Cinque Ports'' bore most conspicuous and prominent part, will give an idea not only of their value in the defense of the kingdom, but also, vividly portrays the condition of the times, the barbarity of the peo- pie and their utter disregard of hu- man life.
 These incessant and destructive en- gagements on the h gh seas, not only interrupted commerce but engendered a hatred between the contending na- tions. which as in the case of England and France. are only now in our gen. eration extending the olive branch of peace to each other.

of his beloved minstrel Blondel had
composed a song which the two
often sank together. When this
minstrel heard that his beloved
king was in prison he set out to
find him. He wandered for days
through Germany, but no trace of
the king could he find, though he
stopped and questioned at every
castle.
One night after the sun had set
he came upon lonely castle in a
forest, and being weary he sat down
under the shelter of it's walls to
rest. Soon he heard someone sing
ing a familiar song. The voice
stopped after singing the first
verse, and Blondel sang the second
verse. The king, for it was he, be-
gan to sing with the minstrel
Then Blondel hurried home to
England to tell the English people

The Saving is Here

The main cost of raw milk is the cost OF
daily delivery. Milk dealers say that each
milk wagon costs them about SIoo per
month
We save this heavy cost.
We ship Van Camps in large lots to your
grocer. And he perhaps sells YOU case at
a time. That means months supply.
You have the milk always on hand. and
open a can when YOU want it. No waiting
for the mlkman. no shortage no waste.

Six Cents Per Quart

How can such mk-rich Holstein milk
be sold on the basis OF six cents per quart?
Let us tell YOU.
The milk is put up at our diaries. and
two OF these diaries are not far from this
city.
We take the fresh milk as it comes from
the COW and evaporate two-thirds Of the
water. That saves much of the cost of
transporting.
The evaporating is done in vacuum
And, because of the vacuum, very moder-
ate heat is sufficient
The milk. when reduced. is put up in
sealed cans. Then every can is sterilized
That is all No sugar is added, as in
condensed milk; no starch, no preservative.
Van Camps is nothing but the richest milk
reduced to the thickness of the thckest
cream
You can replace part or all OF the water,
according to your use for the milk.
