Steilacoom and was appointed TO that
position in 1907. Governor Lister,
recognizing his ability in this line Of
work, promoted him to the head of
the new institution.
Many more unmarried men are adj

married ones, but there are many
more married women admitted than
unmarried.
How Insane Are Treated.
Generations back insane institu-
lions were constructed like prisons
and the patient was confined like a
prisoner. Institutions for the insane
of the present day are hospitals in
which to minister to minds diseased.
The paramount consideration is the
betterment of the patient. Every
thing else is subordinate. To this
end a great deal of liberty is allowed.
Out of door occupations, walks and
exercises all enter into the life of
the patient. A very small per cent
of our patients are restricted within
the narrow limits of the ward, and
then only for the time absolutely
necessary. The general public as a
rule is ignorant of these facts, but
the policy above outlined is univer-

state hospital for the insane, Sew
enty-five thousand dollars was appro-
priated for expenses. The board has
a great deal of trouble in complying
with this law, owing to the European
war, but has lately been able to de-
port many to the neutral countries.
Those recovered from insanity are
prone to subsequent attacks. In
round numbers of 10 persons at
tackled by insanity five recover and
five die, sooner or later, during the
attack. OF the five who recover not
more than two remain well during
the rest of their lives; the other
three sustain subsequent attacks,
during which at least two Of them
die. But although the picture is
thus an unfavorable one it is very far
from justifying the popular prejudice
that insanity is virtually an incurable
disease and the view 1t presents is
much modified by the long intervals
which often occur between the at
tacks, during which interval of mem
tai health Gin many cases from 10 to
20 years duration) the individual
has lived in all the enjoyments of
social life. Some forms of insanity
are very durable, as the puerperal,
which form is not likely to return,
except with the recurrence of child
birth. Other forms, such as paresis
and epileptic mania, are incurable.

Concluded from Last Week.
The superintendent of any of our
state hospitals must be a skillful
practicing physician and must reside
in the hospital. He has entire con-
troll of the medical, moral and
dictactic treatment of the patients,
and all other internal government
and economy of the institution. The
superintendent is not required to at
tend any court as witness in a civil
suit, nor is he required to attend as
witness in a criminal case, unless
the judge of the court before which
his testimony is desired requires his
attendance. All persons employed at
a hospital for the insane are exempt
from serving on juries.
What Cases Are Handed.
No cases of idiocy, imbecilty,
harmless chronic mental unsoundness
or acute mania shall be committed to

employment of body and mind is one
of the most if not the most beneficial
agent in the treatment of the insane.
1t not only tones up the physical and
nervous systems, but is an efficient
means of keeping the thoughts from
remaining 5elf-centered and thus
helps TO prevent decisions from be-
coming fixed.
Recovery from insanity means a
return to the same mental condition
that existed before becoming insane.

cry has not take place. 1t is fire.
quently advisable to allow patients
to leave the hospital when much i'm
proved to finish their recovery at
home. Many also recover sufficiently
to be useful at home, but whose
minds are left in a state of chronic
mental unsOundness. So everyone
discharged from the hospital is not
discharged as cured.
Many Aliens DepOrted.
In 1915 the board Of control was
instructed by the legislature to CO.
operate with the United States bureau
of immigration and arrange for the
deportation of all alien insane per-
sons that may now be confined in or

sally established in every institution
for the insane. Consequently, pa
tients will manage to evade the vigil
lance of attendants or employees and
leave the hospital. In no such in
stance at our hospitals has there been
any resulting calamity They are
usually returned or manage to get
along at home.
The monotony of institutional life
is not sufficiently appreciated. Med
ical superintendent have remarked
upon the improvement in a patients
condition that often results from a
transfer from one hospital to another
or from one building to another in
the same institution. This is espe-
cially noticeable when patients are
transferred to farm colonies of the
hospital, where they have the advan-
tage of free, outdoor life as nearly
as practicable like the life of normal
country people.
Many are confined in our hospitals
who are not proper subjects for such
an institution, who are old and inf1rm
and on account of this or some other
disability have been committed there
for the reason that there is no public
institution to which they can be sent,
excepting possibly to a county poor
farm.

hospital for the insane, and when
ever, in the opinion of the superin-
tendent after careful examination
of the case of any person committed,
1t shall be satisfactorily ascertained
by him that the party has been un-
lawfully committed and that he or
she comes under the rule of the
above exemptions, he has the author
ity to discharge such person as un-
lawfully committed and return him
or her to the county from which COM
mitted and at the expense of that
county.
Non-residents of the state con-
veyed or coming herein while insane
shall not be committed nor supported
in the hospitals, but this prohibition
shall not prevent the commitment to
and temporary care in the hospital of
persons stricken with insanity while
travelling or temporarily sojourning
in the state, or sailors attacked with
insanity upon the high seas and first
arriving thereafter in some port
within this state. No person labor
ing under any contagious or infec-
tious disease will be admitted into
the hospitals for the insane.
Each patient in the hospital is fur
nished with material for writing one
letter week if he requests it. These
letters are subject to the inspection
of the superintendent, who will mail
them to the proper address, that is,
such of them as in his judgment
should be sent, and he will retain
such letters as he considers objec-
tionable. All letters directed to pa
tients will be delivered to them if in
the judgment of the superintendent
their contents are not prejudicial to
the mental condition of the patient.
In the event of the sudden and
mysterious death of any inmate Of a
hospital for the insane the fact is re-
ported by the superintendent to the
coroner of the county or to the near
est justice of the peace and coro-
ner's inquest will be held as pro-
vided by law.
In case Of an escape from a hos
pital the superintendent must cause
immediate search to be made for him
and If he cannot soon be found he
must give notice Of the escape to the
superior Judge of the county where
the patient belongs. If the patient is
found in his county the Judge must
cause him to be returned, unless he
does not consider his return neces-
sary.
In case Of lack Of room, or any
other cause, it becomes necessary to
discriminate in the general reception
of patients, cases of less than one
years duration have the preference
over all others. Chronic cases pre-
senting the most favorable prospects
for recovery are next preferred. The
superintendent must ascertain by dill
igent inquiry and correspondence the
history of each and every patient adj
mitted to the hospital.

All persons adjudged insane are

Whenever in the judgment of the
superintendent of any hospital for
the insane any person in his charge
shall have so far recovered as to
| make it safe for the patient and the
public to allow him to be at large,
the superintendent may parole such
patient and allow him to leave the
hospital, and whenever in the judg-
ment of the superintendent any pa
tient under his charge has become
sane, mentally responsible and free
from danger of relapse or recurrence
of mental unsoundness, the superin-
tendent shall discharge such patient
from the hospital. INDECENT pa
tients when paroled or discharged
are returned to the county from
which committed at the expense OF
said county.
The board of control has charge
and supervision of the transportation
of insane persons to the hospitals for
the insane. and is vested with author
ity to employ persons for such pur-
pose.
The superintendent of any hospital
is authorized to accept and receive
from any person or association de-
string to present or contribute money
for the assistance or support Of such
hospital any sum offered.
An act was passed in 1915 which
provides that every county in the
state having a county hospital set
aside such portion of such county
hospital as may be necessary for OBJ
servation detention wards for those
charged with insanity, and that in
each such hospital there shall be sep
arate detention wards for males and
females, and that any judge before
whom a person is charged with in
sanity may order the sheriff arresting
said person to forthwith commit such
person to said observation detention
ward for period not to exceed 80
days. In all cases where the court
finds person to be insane beyond
any reasonable doubt he may order
such person Immediately to the
proper state hospital. The detention
wards at the county hospitals are to
be under the supervision and control
Of the county physician, and he must
make careful observation of the pa
tients under his charge, and il he
requires longer than 80 days for this
observation he can make application
to the court for an extension, but the
extension asked for must not be for
more than 80 days. In the counties
which have no county hospital, the
Judge may designate as a detention
hospital any other place for deten-
ton and treatment as he may deem
suitable.

GIRL AND A BOY SUE THE BOSTON STORE
FOR $4,000 CLAIM ACCIDENTS

YIN PEOlOOO III
The Boston Store was the target
of two suits for damages filed in the
superior court Friday. Amounts
asked for total $4,000.
In a suit for $4,000 a young ac-
tress says she has been forced to
abandon the stage, the only profess
sion at which she can make a decent
wage, as a result of an accident on
a stairway in the Boston Store.
In the other suit a young man, for
merly employed by the store, charges
that his right arm is helpless and
that after the accident that caused it
the Boston Store induced him to sign
a paper releasing it from all claims
and the he was allowed to return to
the store only after he had agreed
not to file suit.
Maud Stith, 1888 Calumet av., is
the young actress. On Nov. 5, 1915,
she went shopping in the Boston
Store. Hallway on the stairway
leading from the first floor to the
basement she claims her heel caught

stair that had torn loose and pro-
truded dangerously. She fell the rest
of the way to the basement, accord
ing to her charges, tore the tendons
of her right leg and suffered a brOk-
en- hand
The girl had no money with which
to pay doctor bills. She suffered
through it until she felt she had to
20 out and get work. She secured
a stage position. But she says she
was no longer able to dance and is
not skilled in any other line.
Friends advised her to take her
case to Atty Philip B. LevitOn. He
agreed to file suit without cost to her.
q don't know what I am going to

Mr.. LevitOn. believes 1 have a good
case against the Boston Store. If
win a judgment I shall probably start

Harry Leavitt is the young man
who says his arm was rendered help
less by an accident in the Boston
Store. Through Atty Irving G. Ia
zove he asks $4,000 damages.
ZazOve told the story today. He
said that Leavitt was employed at
the store as an inspector of barrels
and boxes until shortly before Christ
mas, when the accident occurred.
In examining a barrel his hand was
badly cut by a nail But, he says, it
was necessary to keep on working.
Blood poison set in the right arm and
he was unable to use it.
Then, according to ZazOve, agents
of the store came to him and got him
to sign paper. They assured him it
was useless and unnecessary to fight
the Boston Store in the courts, is the
claim. lney spoke OF a permanent
job if he behaved nicely.
So the boy agreed and signed the
paper. When he went back to the
store he was placed at the same old
drudgery But his right arm, now
useless, gave him too much pain to
keep on working. Then he went to
