Every profession, trade Or business

and benefits except the lunatics. In the
state Of New York 80, 900 of us are now
restrained, fed, housed and clothed at
an annual expense Of $4,000, 900. Outside
of insane asylums thousands are be-
ing incubated in the hatcheries of So
called civilization and Christian so
ciety, preparing to make one of these
palaces their final roosting place. 1t is
to put them and the taxpayers wise to
HI inside of their future home that
we launch this long felt want.
The profits from this family journal
will be spent for the entertainment of
the inmates. It's the same old thing
here-day after day. Give US 6. chance

stepmother of Mint Julep.

StepmOIncr OF MINT Julep.
Romance and poetry have delighted
to e. garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory OF the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the home Of the mint julep, and its
colonies have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
a little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for a large amount
Of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned.
1t t%ranspires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here In Missouri, whose crop
Of mint last year amounted to 1853
pounds, or enough to make 1,224, 800
juleps. This amount includes the mar
keted product only, no account having
been taken of the countless thousands
of juleDs which were compounded dur
ing the year with a base Of the undi-
luted moonsh1ne whisky thai never
paid a cent Of tax.-St. Louis Star.

COOK GIBBERS OF
OPTICAL ILLUSION
OF POLAR VOYAGE
Humbug Of the Century Notifies
Friends That He Will Soon Be
In Their Midst Once
More.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cock, the Brooklyn traveller, has
sent word to his friends here that he
will reappear next week following his
Belf-imposed exile of one year. DIR.
Cook will arrive from Europe probably
on nexi Wednesday. The doctor has
confessed that he did not know
whether he reached the north pole or
not, and in tomorrow's issue of a cur
rent magazine he tells of the mental
and physical stress he labored under
On his journey northward. DR.. Cook,
speaking of the trip over the ice, says:
There was little in the white waste
tbout me to occupy my attention.
sometimes a spot on the horizon or
The twist of a dogs tail would fasci-
nate me and hold my attention for
many minutes.
During this time, from the early
iays of u journey, as I want to
show, everything centered about the
|dea of the pole. Then to bewilder one,
10 set, one laughing with silly erause-
ment. or to fiji n With sense Of
awe, there early began a procession of
mirages and optical Illusions. The
mental effect I find it difficult to an
hlyze. Sometimes these exaggerated
transformations had the effect of
bringing far off objects apparently
near to us, This often caused con-
fusion in estimating distance.
We made wide detours and at other
times we had to retreat and find new
passages. Perhaps in so doing I did
become confused and overestimated
my progress. If that is SO, it is a fact
neither l nor any n can settle now
Wherever I went, however, I main
tain it was northward and I did reach
2 spot which I believed to be the pole"

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of State Institutions Is
Double During the Past
TWO Years.

Sixteen state s~anatoria. % county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January 1,
1905, says a recent bulletin of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the NUM-
Der Of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled, and the number of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to so. The
expenditures Of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
100000 Of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions
in 1909, when 43 legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910. when only II
legislatures were In session. The ap-
preparations Of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanftoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully s2,500,0o bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to ove $4,000, 900
In the past two years.
In spite, however, Of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Stlldy and Prevention OF Tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.

There is a good deal that is puz-
zling and peculiar about that cir
cular issued at Aiken just before
the first primary. The circular
was signed with a fac-simile stamp
of James F Byrnes of Aiken, a
candidate for Congress, and is said
to have denounced both Patterson
and Garris, the other two Con-
gressional aspirantS. All three
candidates deny responsibility for
or knowledge of it and Byrnes and
Patterson each offered reward
of $500 for the apprehension Of
the party who sent it. In addi-
to this Byrnes has employed a
Pinkerton Sleuth to ferret the myS-
terry. And it seems like such a
simple matter to catch the deep
dyed villain.
