THE VALUE OF TRUTH

Truth in business is just as important
as truth in everyday life, truth creates
confidence, establishes goodwill and
builds reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms Of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words Of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untarnished, unex.
.agperated truisms about a household
remedy Of real and actual worth.
The popularity Of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days Of authorizations
it continues to guarantee pure cod liver OIL
incidentally perfected with giycerine and
liypophosphites to build strength, Inn

Des Moines, Dec. 16.-Music plays an
important part in the handling of in
sane patients, the superintendent Of
the Iowa insane hospitals stated yes
terday at the conference Of executives
of the Iowa institutions under the
board Of control which was held at the
state house. During the morning ses-
sion five types of monographs were
demonstrated for the benefit Of the
hospital heads.
The heads Of the Iowa institutions
were encouraged by the speakers at
the conference to:sinstaH musical in
struments. The superintendent of the
insane hospitals were particularly en-
thusiastic over the power Of music to
aid in handling the states wards.
Musical Concerts Engaged.
Music ds powerful factor in hand
ling Insane PATIENTS" said Senator A.
NJ McColl, member of the state board
of control. "At the hospitals they
usually have one musical evening a
week. The patients look forward
eagerly to the concerts. They enjoy
them immensely. 1t is a wonderful
sight to see how deeply they are af-
fected by music. 1t seems to soothe
the violent patients and helps the 9TH
ers by making them forget their imag-
mary troubles. OF course, there are
dances at the hospitals once week
and other programs are given other
nights, but the thing the patients seem
to enjoy most is music. The concerts
are not held so frequently as to become
too common"
DIR. George Donahoe, superintendent
of the Cherokee hospital, says that the
concerts at his institution are the most
popular entertainments.
Recall Happier Days.
teThe patients a our institution seen.
to enjoy the old hymns and plantation
songs most" said DR.. Donahoe. They
seem to awake old memories and bring
back the thoughts of happier days. In
that way they aid in the recovery OF
the patients. The tunes have sooth-
ing effect. They seem to aid all classes
of patients. OF course the younger
patients want the recent songs and
more lively tunes. The classical music
does not meet with much favor In our
assemblies"
The conference was adjourned yes
terday after short business session
Matters of interest pertaining to the
business side Of the institutions were
discussed. w. J. Dixon, chairman OF
the board presided.
The members of the board Of con-
troll will be absent from the city fol
