lion OF state health department.
Pennsylvania appropriates not only
the largest amount NJ money OF any

Besides appropriating more than

celyed by the United States public
health service, Pennsylvania appro-
PIRATES almost as much again this
amount Of money for special health
activities, such as the maintenance OF
tuberculosis sanitoria.
Public health officials hope that the
time Will come when most OF the
states OF the union give TWO cents out

Most OF the public health work in
this country must be carried on by

BONHEUR PAINTlN
 OF FOLD DARBY" IS
 SHOWN AT CLARK'S
Masterpiece Is Valued at S65,- OOO-Is Here For Two
 Weeks.


 For two weeks. commencing tomor- row morning, the original and famous masterpiece, "OId Darby painted by Rosa Bonheur. the greatest painter of horses which the world has known, will be on exhibition at the store of George B. Clark 6 Go, 10o7-1073 Broad street. The picture is valued at s65,- GOO.
 Almost everyone knows the master piece from copies and 1t will be an unusual opportunity for those who love it sto view the original
 A pretty history is attached to the original of the horse in the picture. He was a poor old working horse who had outlfved his age of usefulness but was forced to work for his mas ter, an old fisherman of Havre, France Tt was his duty to drag the fishnets out of the water One day, Rosa Bonheur who dearly loved alli- ma1s, saw him as he slowly did his work She pitied him and finally bought him and had him sent to Fson- tainbIeau where she used him for sev- era1 purposes.
 Next to '"rhe Horse Fair,'' eOld Darby is the most famous of Rosa Bonheu works Every detail of the picture is perfect, and. true to Ife;8 the old broken handled shovel the rusty milk can, the piece of string with which the door is fastened. the weeds growing alongside the barn and the initial IA which some one had carv- ed in one of the boards. make it one of the most marvellous pieces of real ism in the world.

FINAL BRIEF FILED
 ON .THAW PETITION
His Counsel Confident That Prisoner Will Be Set
 Free.

; Concord, N. H., March 27.-The final brief on behalf of Harry K. Thaw on his petition for a writ of habeas cor pus and for admission to bail pend ing a decision of the matter of extra dition, were filed in the United States district court by counsel today.
 The document lays stress upon the claim that the statute under which Thaw, originally was committed to the insane asylum at Matteawan, IN. r., is unconstftutionaI and therefore it was not a crime for him to escape from custody; that an insane person can not commit crime and accordingly cannot be extradited on a charge of committing a crime; that Thawss san ity or insanity must be decided before it can be determined that there is ju- risdlction to extradite him, and that he is not a fugitive from justice with in the meaning of the federal constf- tution.
 As to bail, counsel maintains thai bail in a misdemeanor case IS a mat ter of right. The brief concludes: The purpose of the state of New York being to return Thawz to Mat steawasn, it is making a misuse of the extradition laws to accomplish its end. We confidently assert that. upon the facts and authorities, Thaw should be discharged .''
