HOW TO PREVENT INSANITY
Elimination Of bad Mental
Habits" One Remedy.

Declaring that much OF the insanity that
exists to-day could be prevented, and that
alcohol and bad mental habits" were re-
sponsible for the greater number OF such
cases. the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, rec
tor Of the Church OF the Ascension, 10th
street and Fifth avenue. in his sermon last
night on prevention OF Insanity" said that
insanity was increasing. He maintained
that In New York asylums and institutions
for the insane there were during the last
year thirty-two thousand cases and that
at the present rate OF increase there would
be In 1920 forty-five thousand cases of in
sanity In these institutions.
The cost Of caring for insane persons In
the state hospital last year." said Mr..
Grant, was more than 100000. During
the last ten years the cost has been more
than :A,9c,Oco which is one-slxth OF the
total expenditure OF the state. But the
paramount consideration Is the unnecessary
suffering of so many people. much OF which
could he prevented by better living, Most
OF the thirty-two thousand persons now In
hospitals for the insane in this state might
have remained sane and lived useful and
happy lives If they had known certain facts
or had lived better lives"
Mr.. Grant went on to say that many per-
sons become insane through letting their
minds dwell on the disease. He said that
because some member of their family had
oeen afflicted with the disease II was no
reason why they should get IL. aud adde1
that heredity In disease was not possible
unless person made himself susceptible
