"tag Farm" Ready

The State of Minnesota has invested
$3.50. 600 in ''jag farm" for the re-
formation of drunkards, men or women.
Facing Lake Wilmar, near the city of
Wilmar and at the side of water tank
with a capacity of 1900 gallons. "a hos
pital and cottages have been erected,
equipped with tub baths, shower baths
and marble massage baths in hydro
therapeutic bathrooms. There the
water cure will be administered until
the patient learns to likeit. There will
be no drugs and no liquor. But every
influence will be exerted to make the
individual realize that he has manhood
in him and that he is capable of con-
trolling:himself.
AS a starter he will be boiled and par
boiled and rubbed and massaged to get
as m,lchlalcohol out of him as possible.
Then every time he feels craving for
drink he::will be raised to the hydrother-
apeutic bathroom and put in a tub Of
water.
Drinking liquor is only habit, and
any person may be cured of habit, "
is the Minnesota theory.
Any person who has been Gagged"
three times withinK three years is eligi-
BILE.
A wife may go to court and say:
''William" has been drinking again.
He came home llast night fearfully
drunk. Thislis the third time within
the past two.:years."
Whereupon the court hales civilian"
before it, and if it finds that the wife's
allegation is true he is subject to con-
signment to the keeping Of DR.. H. A.
Tomlinson, superintendent of the ''jag
farm there ito remain till dismissed
from custody" If he runs away or
accidentally escapes" he is subject to
return and punishment.
In order that there might be no mis-
take as to what constitutes an inebriate,
and as to just who should be sent to the
flag farm" the legislature included
the following clause in the act: Z
The inability Of any person to. con-
troll his appetite for intoxicating liquor
shall be ground for the appointment
Of guardians Of his person, and such
guardians may be the superintendent
Of the hospital farm for inebriates and
the State Board Of Control
The act provides that per cent Of
the saloon license tax shall 60 to the
farm. The farm was opened in Del
cember. Il has room for fifty persons,
and arrangements have been made toI
enlarge it 70 q to accommodate 500 orI
1000 If needed. Already enough appli-
cations have been made by the courts |
for places for men and women TO more
than fill the hospital.

as his just desert; whereas, if there
be criticism instead of praise the charge
is to often idly laid that the criticism is
unfair or inspired by some personal
motive? 1t is hard to answer these
questions unless we attribute it merely
to human nature-a man taking unto
himself as matter of fact all the
good things, and resenting bitterly all
the barbed truths, even though they be
truths. Hillsboro:: Banner.
