every week.
At least five hours each day are spent
in the spacious exercise grounds in the
open air. and every week each man
has change of underclothes after n

trio baths are given as required. Many
rich people get less value for their
money in the high priced sanitariums
than do these compulsory wards of the
State.
The lack Of liberty affects many Of
these men so strongly that they are
pcrpetually planning to escape. Many

have recourse to accomplish their OBJ
ject.

however, a calamity was averted by a
