She made a plea for harmony and
urged all the new general officers to
do their utmost to bring peace ne.
tween the wings that have waged an
almost continuous warfare for the
last five years.
Before closing her remarks Mrs.
Story introduced Mrs Chas b. BRYAN,

INSANITY INCREASE IS POINTED OUT IN REPORT OF
 STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

The report of the state board of charities to the governor for the two years ended September 30, 1912, is a compact encyclopedia of all the hos itals and other charitable institutions of the state. The work of each i'm stitution for the past year Is briefly summarized. The work of the county jails and the state prison is reviewed together with the work of such aI- lied agencies as the Connecticut Pris- on Association, which supervises the probation work throughout the state and takes care Of discharged con victs.
 The expense to the state of the various charitable and reformatory in- stitutions was $1, ,381, ,707.27 for main tenance during the year 1912 and $487, = SO0.30 for equipment, making a total of $1,869, ,007.57, compared with total of $1,661, 40 for 1911. These sums do not of course, represent anywhere near the total cost of maintaining all the institutions, for many of them are supported in part by the counties, cities and towns and by individual subscrip- tions and some of them have endow- ment funds
 One of the most striking features of the report is table showing the number of insane in the state. The number has increased from 3,6o3 in 1908 to 4.180 in 1912. Of the number for the latter year 2,526 are in the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at, Nfiddletown, SIS in the Norwich State Hospital, and the rest in the Hartford Retreat, private asy1urns and insane persons to 1000 of population Is 3.62 It cost more than $500, ,o0O to care for the insane in the two state institutions during the year 1912.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
How to Rest Up Quickly
BY BLANCHE BEACON

l know very charming young ma tron of whom certain wise ones said about eight years ago:
 Another year of this pace, and she'll be a wrecki''
 Nevertheless, my friend has with stood not only one year but eight, and is apparently pursuing the same even tenor of her way to the same accompaniment of forebodings-
 Other people wonder at it. do not, because know that my friend is an adept at the art of resting up quickly
 She can play golf up to twelve in the morning, disappear five minutes and then appear at the lunch table aglow with pink health After lunch she can play bridge all afternoon, go home at 5:aO, disappear for about hf- teen minutes, attend the dinner at which she is the guest of honor, then dance all evening. The next morn ing she is as fresh as the proverbial daisy.
 And all because she has trained her body to rest perfectly and absolutely whenever her mind shall will it.
 For instance, suppose you are ready to drop with nervous fatigue. Let us pretend you are playing bridge, and it is your turn to be dummy. Excuse yourself, and slip up to the bathroom Pin towel around your neck and an- other around your head, turban fash ion, so as to protect your hair Then turn on the hot water faucet and the cold water faucet. When the wateT is quite hot and the other stream very cold, dip two folded towels into the hot, wiring them out, and hold them to your face for a few seconds. Now take two more towels and do the same with the cold water. Then the hot.
 Alternate the two extremes this way until you begin to feel the effects, finishing with the cold towels Then df you are at honel, give yourself a. nasty massage with some good grease cream, and look in the mirror.
 Your little tiny nerve-1ines have dis appeared.
 Your skin is immeasurably fresh
 You have a faint. aluring tinge of color.
