When Bunny Possum found that

house, and 80 get a taste Of those de,

made the best OF II bad matter.

Insanity Unnecessary
By II Arlington Bruce

One Of the most depressing facts Of
our modern American life Is the rau.
ldlly with which the population II our
hospitals Tor the insane Is increasing
twenty years ago these hospitals
had fewer than $1,000 patients. To
day they have nearly 200. 900, an In.
crease of about 200 per cent ns con.
trasted with an Increase Of not 50 Der
cent In the general population for the
same period.
Ana the care Of this great army Of
uhiortunates costs the people Of the
United States $50. OOO, 900 every year.
The saddest feature of the whole
sad situation is that nearly all OF those
lmmured behind the walls Of the 400
American hospitals for the insane
need never have lost their season.
Montrary to the popular belief. I'm.
sanity Is chiefly a preventable disease.
II Is not, as w many people assume,
an unacceptable disease Of Inheritance.
heredity nv n rule enters In only 10
the extent that members Of A family
having n history Of insanity may In
herit n special tendency 10 become
mentally unbalanced unless educated
~ avoid certain physical and mental
conditions " saress and strain.
Among these condltions-which con.
stitute the true causes OF insanity
excessive use Of intoxicating drinks
holds All Important place.
Hospital authorities are agreed that
at least 20 per cent " the male insane
and 10 per cent Of the feInnls owe
their Insanity 10 the fact that they
have drunk too much.
Fifteen per cent Ut the men and 4
per cent Of the women have become
insane rs the aftermath Of Il germ dis
ease usually contracted In immoral
living.
No form Of insanity Is more terrible
OF hopeless than the kind resulting
from this poisonous germ disease,
which would he virtually blotted gu. n
SCI immortality we're abolished.
Other germ diseases-lnfluenEe tv-
phoid fever, etc.-account for perhaps
0 per cent Of all insanity. More risor.
GUS civic aud personal hygiene. by d..
minishing the ~frequeny Of these dis
eases, would decrease the insanity to
which they occasionally give rise.
Thus, about ~ per rent Of the In
sanity So much In evidence today Ii
due to external and cOntrollable physI.
cal causes. The balance Is made 10
chiefly Of comfortable psychlcal causes
worry, grief, fear, disappointment
operating In minds perhaps predis-
posed by heredity TO react badly to
emotional excitement OF any sort.
What people with such minds need
In order TO avoid insanity IL training
from early childhood in self-control.
Such training Is necessary TO all Of
us. 1t Is doubly necessary II we come
Of a psychopathic family. And the
best authorities insist that II We prof.
II from II 20 as habltually to avoid eI.
cesses OF any sort, we stand IN little
danger OF becoming insane.
TO the man, then, who fears he NAV
lose his mind OF u bad inheritance, |
say
Avoid over indulgence In alcoholics,
lead a clean life morally, cultivate
calmness and moderation In all things.
II you do this, you may safely dismiss
all thought of mental breakdown.

II Was One Of Those Little POssums
and at once started for the far corner
u the Old Orchard where Johnny
Chuck's house is. He was sure he
could find a hollow down there In
which to hide. Now, Bunny had been
safe SO long In the pen which Farmer
Browns boy had made for him and
his brothers that he had grown care
less. II Is very apt to be that way
with people. When danger and trOh.
bic do not come near them for some
time they forget to watch out. SO
It was with Bnmpy. He was careless.
Having prowled around through the
Old Orchard all night In perfect
safety, he didn't once think Of the
sharp eyes that would pop open with
the first sign Of daylight.
Now, Black Pussy was In the habit
Of slipping out very early every morn.
Ing to hunt, That was why some.
times she turned up her nose at the
saucer Of nice fresh milk that Farmer
Browns boy offered her You see, she
has caught a breakfast before he was
up. II she had need 10 hunt In order
20 get enough 90 eat the little people
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows wouldn't have hated her 40.
II was because she didn't need 10 hunt
In order to live that they one and all
hated her so. This particular morn.
Ing she had chosen 10 sneak along the
old stone wall on the edge Of the
Old Orchard hoping that she might
surprise little Striped Chipmunk. But
Striped Chlpmunk knows all about
Black Pussy and her ways and Just
makes fun NJ her. He did that very
thing that morning, letting her almost
reach him and then diving out Of
sight between the stones Of the old
wall. ItFas like a kind Of game Ia
Striped Chipmunk, and he enjoyed Il
hut II always nngered Black Pussy.
She was Just about to turn around
aud 60 back for her fresh milk
