Fast Life Causes insanity.

Washington, Jan. 8-The stress
and strain, the keener competition
and congested housing conditions
are greater factors in the increase
of insanity than is the vice and
dissipation of city life, according
to a report by DR.. Joseph A. Hill
on ''the insane in institutions,
just issued by the Federal Census
Bureau.
In the six years from 1904 to
1910, covered by the report, there
was an increase of 25 per cert in
the number of insane persons re-
ported. In the same period the to
tai population increased only u
per cent.
While the number of insane per
sons is increasing, there is an in
crease in the methods of caring for
thess unfortunates. On this sub
ject the report says:
AT the same time there has
been great improvement in the
agencies for discovering cases of
insanity and bringing them under
institutional cara. These institu-
tions for the insane are becoming
more generally accessible, not only
by the increase in the number of
such institutions, but also by the
improvements In the means of
transportation and communication.

Blow To "Loan Sharks. ;

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 8.-By re-
fusing to review the verdict of a
lower court, which fined a loan
agent $l00 for violating the "loan
shark" laws, the State Supreme
court has dealt these money lend
ers a deadly blow, according to
lawyers interested in the case. The
loan agent was fined because he
required railroad emplope to give
a lien on his pay for three years,
amounting to approximately So 500
to protect loan of S35.

Strikers Pledge Loyalty.

Gloversville, N. Y. Jan. 8-Res-
elutions adopted at meetings of
striking glove cutters condemned
and denied rumors that any OF the
various nationalities were prepar-
ing to abandon the strike and re-
turn to work.
At the meeting of English and
American cutters it was resolved
that I'VE do not intend to break
the strike and are determided TO
stay together until our demands
are granted"
The Italian strikers declared
their confidence in the general
strike committee and pledged them
selves to remain out until their de-
mands were granted. 1t was fur
rher resolved that we give this as
reply to the inslnuatlons In the
press that there was probability
of a break in the ranks.
The Hebrew strikers took the
same position and Strongly pro
tested against such rumors, which
have been spread by the enemies
of the workers. .
These workers who were unor
ganized at the time, went on strike
last August. They have received
no wage increase for seventeen
years. The New York state boare
OF cancellation and mediation in
vestigated the case and agreed thet
requests were warranted. The A
F. of L. has been assisting til,
strikers and organized them in 10
Gals, and has assigned Organize
Flett and Wyatt to assist. At TIL
Philadelphia convention of the A
F. Of L. the executive council wa
instructed to issue an appeal 70
funds, to be devided between thes
strikers, the Atlanta textile work
ers and the copper miners of north
ern Michigan.

WE ARE told that SO far nothing
has been done by the County Com
missioners to build the proposed
new tuberculosis hospital on the
Infrmary Hill. A hospital of this
kind is a necessity and it should
be built without delay Every

the county is heartily in favor Of
the nav hospital. 1t is important
as any bridge or institution in the

Commissioners will start the hospi-

The Bright Lexicon.

When the State goes dry,
And the saloons are closed,
And nowhere booze for sale.
Will the boys cut loose
And drink grape juice
And get souse on ginger ale.
Or will they sigh
For the days gone by,
And will their spirits droop?
Will they pine to hear
The splash of beer,
And the sound of the gladsom,
cloop.

Speedily Effective System.
Some time ago one OF the local
banks caught during the day coun-
terfeit ten dollar bill. 1t was such a
clever counterfeit it would pass any
body but an expert The next day ten
or fifteen more of the bad bills were
fousd In the city.
Then the governments machinery to
protect its currency began to work.
But there was nothing mysterious
about its working In the office of the
secret service here an official sat all
afternoon smoking and looking at spec
linens of counterfeit currency. Huge
clouds of smoke rose from his pipe.
That kept up all day. The reader Of
detective tales who believes the secret
service works in a mysterious way
would have been distinctly disappoint-
ed. But at last tho pipe dropped from
the lips Of the man Sitting al the desk
in the federal building with whole
pile of greenbacks in front of him. He
took up two bills and compared them
carefully. Then he studied them again,
noting every little curve and character
istic mark. He stepped to the tele-
phone and called the United States
prison at Leavenworth.

And 50 another counterfeiter was
caught and put out of business. How
was it done? Simple enough-if you
belong to the secret service, Every
counterfeiter has some distinguishing
characteristic in his work. some little
curve or break in a line that gives him

pared the new counterfeit with dozens
of old counterfeits At last he found

tic. And the rest was easy.
