WORKING TO SAVE

A new sort of campaign has been
started In New York 1t Ia warfare
to prevent insanity. According TO
eminent aliensts and neurologists
who met In that city recently, one
out Of every sT9 persons III suffer
isg from some form of insanity
And almost without dissenting
voice these specialists laid the cause
of the trouble at the door of city
life. TIE tenor OF their message TO
their fellow citizens, and incidental
ly to the rest OF the world, was about
this:
''Cut oul the use Of alcohol; don't
SOW any wild oats; lrse in the coun.
try, II not ali The time. as much OF
the time as possible, and you viii

One of the eminent speakers. Dr.
Albert Warren Ferris, president OF
the New York state commission in
iunacy, made the startling statement
that the increase in population in
New York state IN ten years had
been i7.6 per cent. and the increase
In insane persons 1899 He declared
that one out of every 279 persons in
New York state Is 'nsdne--not Just
eccentric, but plain loony-and has
10 bo restrained In state institutions
The first great cause Of insanity,
said Dr. Ferris, Is alcohol The
next IN importance is the sowing OF
wild oats by the young. which re
suits in disease which causes lnsan-
ity. 1t is matter of record Ghat
2e,9 per cent sof the eases OF lunacy
In our hospitals result from the use
of whiskey or other splrtuous liz
uors.n
But relief was given to the doleful
picture by Dr. NJ Allen Starr, srofes-
sor of neurology in ire College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. who said
'1t is perfectly POSSIBLE to control
many Of tue otornai causes of lnsal
ity. There is a remedy for the in
sanity of the city type That comes
because we live too fast, we work
too hard We. strive too intensely and
we feel too keenly.
"A comparison Of the types OF In
sanity that prevail in the city and
the country is interesting and instruc-
tive. The types prevalent in the city
are paresis, alcoholic mania and the
