Cared For 1850 Insane.

In his annual report Superintendent j.
Clement Clark, of the Springfield State
Hospital for the Insane, says 1880 pa
tients-692 males and 558 females were
under treatment there at the close of the
institutions year, September 80. During
the year 231 males and 1862 females had
been admitted, total of 1893.
This number of admissions was nearly
double those of any previous year, due
to the fact that three new cottages had
been completed and many patients were
removed to the institution from Bayview
Asylum and from the county asylums.
Re-educational work among the patients
has proved satisfactory and beneficial,
Dr. Clark states. During the year over
100 patients who were unable on account
of mental and physical weakness to work
elsewhere, were interested in class pic
MICS, games on the lawn, weaving, stem
Cling and in similar ways, and many who
were chronic on admission regained suf-
ficient self-contrsl to be employed at
something useful later

Will Make Steel at Frederick

Frederick is to have a steel casting
plant, which when completed will be the
only one of it's kind in the South.
The Morris Iron Company will install
such plant and work upon the installa-
ton will begin very shortly. Steel cast
ing plants are extremely rare and bar
ring the one at Sparrows Point which
uses old processes, there are no steel
casting plants until Alabama is reached.
Today steel is being used more and
more in the making of all machinery.
Where cast iron was at one time used,
steel is now being used and the indica-
tions are that this metal will be used
more and more in all casting work.
The advantages claimed for steel is
that the same weight of metal gives four
to five times the strength of cast iron.
This enables smaller amount of metal
to be used for any work, and conse-
quent lighter weight. The need of steel
is particularly seen in the manufacture
of automobiles, because of the fact that
it is the desire of manufacturers to make
the machine as light as possible, and at
the same time insure the greatest posi-
BILE strength. Cast iron, because it is
easily broken, is particularly dangerous
for use in automobile construction. NAL
leable iron is somewhat stronger than
cast iron, but even it too has only frac-
ton of the strength of steel.
When the improvements contemplated
by the Morris Iron Works are completed,
this industry will be nearly a $500, 600
concern. 1t is easily Frederick's largest
industry, and when completed will stand
as model plant of the kind for the sur
rounding country, and will be among the
best to be found in several states. Oscar
b. Coblentz is the manager of the plant,
and under him the growth of the bust
ness has been most remarkable.

sents modern comedy drama entitled

Richard Bennett offers a new comedy
drama by Margaret Turnbull at Ford's
next Monday evening, the story OF 1.-The
Stronger Claim" is told in three acts and
is one of absorbing interest, it deals with
the life of man and woman of excep-
tional mental attainments who clandes-
timely marry but separate within short
time. After lapse of ten years they
meet, in the meantime he has joined re-
ligious orders and she has become prima
donna.
The mans father, an arrogant auto
crat who was the cause of the parting
of the two and the sons belief in his
wife's death was responsible for the mis-
take and subsequent dramatic episodes.
The precision and care with which Mr..
Bennett has selected the players shows
his earnest desire to give the public the
very best talent obtainable.
Edith Wynne who will play the prims
donna will be remembered for her re
markable work in "Everyman", in Eng
land and at the Little Theatre in New
York as leading woman. Mr.. Bennett
whose splendid and successful career un
der the Frohman regime is well known
will assume the role of the priest. Tin

Something New.

To the best of our knowledge the pres
ent County Treasurer, Mr.. Frederick w.
Cramer, is the first treasurer of the
county to send out tax bills before Janu-
airy LIST of the ensuing year or the time
from which interest is charged. Whether
every taxpayer in the county or only in
a few districts received his or her bill
for 1912 taxes we do not know, but many
bills came to Thurmont. This is COM
mendable feature and should be adopted
and followed by County Treasurers in
future years.

Declare War on Colds.

A crusade of education which aims
that common colds may become uncom-
mon within the next generation" has
been begun by prominent New York ply
sicians. Here is list of the 'don' II"
which the doctors say will prevent the
annual visitation of the cold:
Don't sit in draughty car"
Don't sleep in hot rooms"
"Don't avoid the fresh air"
Don't stuff yourself at meal time.
Over-eating reduces your resistance. 3"
To which we would add-when you
take cold get rid of it as quickly as
possible. To accomplish that you will
find Chamberlain Cough Remedy most
excellent. Sold by all dealers.

The Democrats and the Pension
Grab.

MOT having received the Congressional
| Record at the time the editorial on the
above subject was written, | followed my
Northern exchanges, wherein the statement
was made that Underwood and Fitzgerald
were the only two Democrats who opposed the
Sherwood bill. Fitzgerald being from New
York that left Underwood as the sole Demo
crat from the South who opposed the grab.
The Northern papers must have meant that
these two were the only Democrats on the
cOnanaittee, who antagonized the bill
The Congressional Record shows that many
Democrats from the South were against the
grab; and that some of them were quite active
in fighting it. Among these I note the names
of Hon. Thetus w. Sims, Hon. Sam j. Trib-
BILE, Hon. S. A. Roddenberg and Hon. G. L.

a Word of Advice 10 the Mem
bePS OF the Farmers Union
of Georgia..

It has come to my knowledge that Duck,
who at best, is an outrageous greasy prop
osltlon, IS singing the swan-song attuned to
financial call as usual. He wishes the I'M
tutored farmers, who are still passengers on
the water-logged organization, to pay up,
during the first quarter of 1912, the entire
amount of the dues which have heretofore
been payable quarterly, during the entire year
My advice to the members of the Farmers
Union is, to pay, during the first quarter of
1912, the dues for that quarter, and no more.
a word to the wise is as good as a sermon.
