Increase in the Insane.

Increase in the Insane.
According to Secretary Tappins oil
the state board of control, the insane
population of the state on September
80, 1900, was 1858, and the number in
county asylums at that time was 1884.
The ratio of insanity to population
was one in every 1913. The total
amount of money received by county
asylums for 1900 was $366,S76.08, as
against $470143.14 in 1910.
In comparing the ratio of insanity
one in every 39S, against one in every
359 In 1905 The ratio for 1910 has
not yet been determined. The ratio
of insanity for 1910 will be based upon
the new census.
The total insane population of the
state on September 80. 1900, was
1858. as against 6,548 on June 30l
1910.
In county asylums there are large
number of self-supporting patients
and the amount received by county
asylums from the self-supporting pa
tients is about $4,000 a year. In the
hospitals for the insane the percent-
age of self-supporting patients is very
small
The charges against counties for
the care of the inmates at these in
situations are:
State hospital $54 ,247.1S
Northern hospital. ........ 56,175.94
Home for feeble-minded. -. 98,597.40
Industrial school for boys. 18,803.39
tuberculosis sanatorium. -. 14,731.43
The board has also completed its
adjustment of the accounts between
the state and counties for the care of
the chronic insane maintained 1Is
county asylums. The amount audited
in favor of counties maintaining asy-
lums is $470,15314. OF this amount
the state pays for patients belonging
to counties $310142.87. In addition to
this amount the state also pays for
the care of state-at-large patients
$53,66723.
The amount paid by counties not
maintaining asylums is $106, 333.04.
The different counties maintaining

the shoulder so that it is fairly sta
tionary, as having some one to hold
it, and pulling down on the arm. The
pull should be steady and considerable
force used, but it must not be jerked
by a sudden pull. Sometimes the
person giving the first aid can get a
better pull and also assist in pushing
the head of the bone into place by re.
moving one of his shoes and placing
his heel under the injured shoulder
and pulling while bracing himself in
this way. Care must be taken not to
push up under the arm too forcibly,
as there is considerable danger of in.
juring the blood vessels and nerves
that pass along under the shoulder.
The Elbow.
The elbow is quite frequently dislo

the forearm dislocated backward, but
they may go to either side or both

ly as possible and pulling down on
the leg, at the same time having an
assistant try to push the head of the
bone towards its normal position. The
muscles around the hip joint are sc
powerful that it Is often necessary to
give a general anesthetic in order tc
relax the spasm of the muscles which
accompanies every dislocation to
greater or less degree
The Knee.
Dislocations at the knee joint may
take place in any direction The at
tempt should be made to reduce them
by the same general methods as in
dislocations of the hip, but this usual
IL is rather difficult to accomplish.
The Ankle.
Dislocations of the ankle are in,
clined to be somewhat complicated
and usually it is better to have the
patient see a physician at once rather
than first attempt to reduce it without
his aid.
The Toes.
The joints of the toes are not often
dislocated, but this does sometimes oc-
cur. They are usually fairly easy to
reduce by simply pulling them back
into place.
If you are not successful in putting
q bone back in place after two or
three trials, 1t is best not to attempt
it any longer, but have the patient
see a doctor. If the patient has to be
moved any distance, bandage or splint
the joint so that it moves as little as
possible, as this will make the journey
much more comfortable for him

Dislocations are severe sprains that
have stretched and torn the ligaments
and tissues around the joint to such
an extent as to allow the end of the
bones to become misplaced Some dis
locations are known as congenital,
that is, they have existed since birth
and are due to some malformation of
some part of the joint.
The symptoms OF a dislocation are
ID pain, which is usually dull, but
may be acute on attempting to move
the joint; (2) more or less deformity,
depending upon the degree of the dis
location; co swelling, due to the es-
cape of blood and serum from the
ruptured blood vessels; (D a certain
amount of disability; (5) limitation of
motion.
If the dislocation is not reduced ire
placed within few days, there is
danger of the bones becoming fixed
in their unnatural positions
In simple dislocations it is permits
sible for the person giving the first
aid to attempt to reduce it by pulling
on the bone, at some distance from the
part dislocated, and at the same time
attempting to push the end dislocated
back into place. This should only be
tried two or three times, and if not
successful, the patient should be seen
ny a doctor.
Injuries From Fall.
In injuries from fall or other &C
cident, where there is a possibility of
one of the vertebra being dislocated,
the patient should be moved very care
fully. If necessary to turn the pa
tient over, be sure to turn the hips
and shoulders and head at the same
time and very slowly. This is very
important, because if a dislocation ex-
lists, the spinal cord, which runs
through the vertebra, is always pinch
ed to a certain extent and any addi-
tionaI pressure upon it by the twisting
of the vertebra may destroy 1t alto
gether at that point and cause per-
manent paralysis of the body below
that level, or if high up in the spine, 1t
may cause immediate death. The pa
tient should not be picked up by the
shoulders and legs and carried or
moved at all until his head and shout
ders and hips are firmly fastened to
long board or shutter so that there is
no possibility of the spine being twist
ed while he is being moved.
The Shoulder Joint.
Dislocations at the shoulder joint
are quite frequent. The head of the
upper bone of the arm (humerous)
may be either below, in front of. or
behind its normal position. Sometimes
It goes back into place very easily,
and so it is a good plan to attempt to
reduce it two or three times at least
This should be done by having the pa
dent lie down on his back and fixing

Barley Rates Reduced.

Barley Rates Reduced.
The state railroad commission is
sued an order requiring the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul and the
Northwestern railroads to cut rates
on barley between Hilbert Junction,
Chiffon, New Holstein, Keil, Elkhardt,
Waldo Adell and Random Lake and
Sheboygan.
The former rates were from 8 to IS
cents per hundredweight. The com
mission fixes the new rate at 61a cents
per hundredweight.
The Omaha railroad was ordered to
refund to the w. H. Sprague Lumber
company, Washburn, the sum OF
$143.12 as overcharges on eight car
loads of logs shipped from Richerd's
spur to Washburn. A reduction in the
regular rate also was ordered.
