Recruiting Methods Blamed For the
 Large Number of Cases
 A thorough study of the insane al the government hospital for the Insane in Washington. says the Bluejacket. prompts Passed Assistant Surgeon Butts to comment vigorously on the methods of accepting recruits
 It is found that nearly one-quarter of the insanity in the navy and ma rine corps is furnished by privates in the latter service. This is held 10 be caused by the scant examination giv- en by civilian physicians hired at ma- rine recruiting stations.
 Even the navy medical officers are censured for haste in this important matter. and it is suggested that some form of mental examination Is desir- able as well as a probationary service of six months to determine mental status and aptitude for service
 It is also deemed wise to inquire into family and personal history Of candidates before accepting them.
 It is found that among the foreign born the Germans have the best men- tai makeup. From January. 1893. to June. 1910. there was nearly 20 per cent of recoveries and less than per cent of deaths. Over 63 per cent of the insane are between twenty and thirty years old.

PACKARD SATISFIED
 WITH BEEF SALES
Says Profits on Shipments to the Coast Are Proving
 Good
(Douglas Internationall


 After an absence of ter days Co. B A. Packard returned home this morning, coming direct from his rlnch in the salt River valley. near Tempe. Colonel Packard vent from here direct to Los Angeles on busi- ness, and from there returned to his ranch, remaining there for nearly a week.
 He declares that the Salt River valley never looked so good as now and crops were never before so prUIuIsIRg Every canal and lateral is running bank full of water and tho Roosevelt storage reservoir con tains an abundance of water to meet every requirement. of the farmers during the remainder of the crop season.
 On the Packard ranch of 320 acres there are two hundred and eigh- tg acres in grain. two hundred Of which is wheat The wheat is now eighteen inches high and splendid crop is expected. Eighty acres Of this ranch is growing alfalfa, which is used for pasmrage for the stock, which is bred there for Colonel Packard's cattle ranches in Mexico southwest of Douglas
 Colonel Packard said the owners Of beef cattle in the Salt River val ley were receiving better prices than ever before, and told of a train load which was shipped yesterday to san Francisco, for which the owner received s5.75 gross. He said thar these cattle were purchased late m December and that after three months pastrrage they yielded 9 profit of fully one hCrdred percent. to the owner.
 Colonel Packard stated today that after. this year he would likely cover his entire Salt River farm with al falfa aud use it for fattening the steers from his ranges in this vi- ciuity.
 Asked about statehood Colonel Packard stated that he was only iL Phoenix twice. but the general i'm pression there seemed to be that Arizona has lost the opportunity O. admission because of the radical fea- lures which were included in the constitution. He is one of the dem ccrats in the territory who did nos believe that the recall of the judici- ary should have been placed in the constitution, and therefore amons those whom the Maricopa demo cratic central committee would read out of the party. Packard and those who believe as he expressed himself regarding the constitution and it's effect on statehood, have borne th.s hrunt of many democratic battles i1 the past, so they are not paying any attention to the insurrecto political junta in Phoenix.

To Wash Flannels.

Flannels should be washed in warm suds that have had little ammonia added to them The flannels should be rubbed between the hands, not on a board, and dipped up and down in the studs until they are free from dirt and stains. Squeeze them with the hands until as much water as possible is re- moved, and then rinse in water of the same temperature as that in which they were washed. Wiring out again, hang in the shade, and press them out on the wrong side while still damp. Flannels should never be placed in the sun to dry or they will shrink Special care should also be taken when rubbing the garments to see that all the dirt is removed before they are wrung out and hung up to dry.
