Everywhere men complain about work; even boys and girls in school or business find work tedious and irk- some, but 1t isn the work half so much as their own lack of physical strength that makes 1t hard.
 Rich blood, strong lungs and health full digestion make work pleasurable in business, in school or even house work, and if those who are easily tired who are not sick, but weak and ner- vous-would just take Scott's Emul- sion for one month and let it's pure concentrated food create richer blood to pulsate through every artery and vein-let it build structure of healthy tissue and give you vigorous strength you would find work easy and would look for more.

MENTAL HYGIENE AND
 THE WORK IN CONN
Report Made by Connecticut Society. Which is the Pioneer f
 in This Field

The seventh annual report of the Connecticut Society for Mental Hy- giene presents a picture of active ef- forts for the better care of the insane and the feeble-minded, both indivfd- ually and in groups. The president, Judge l.. P. Waldo Marvin of Hart ford, gives an interesting report of the successful efforts of the society in working towards complete removal of all insane and feeble minded per sons from almshouses. A bill was pat through the legislature last spring, requiring the examination of all fn- mates of almhouses at least once ew- cry six months and removal to stafe institutions of all insane and feebIe. minded persons found there. Thissis the first step towards removing these helpless sick and defective persons te suitable surroundings. . E.5@.H
 The survey of the feeble-minded in one city last winter produces valuable information which was effective in se- curing appropriations for greater ac- commodation for these defectives. Even with this additional provision the state will be taking care of only about 25 per cent. of these subnor- nal people who require protection for their own sakes and for the sake of the community.
 The early care of patients with mental disease, which is much more effective than treatment after the con- dition has become chronic. demands an increased provision for acute cases if they are to be restored to health and sanity. Such provision is a mat ter of truest economy since it will make possible the return of many patients to productive work The state hospitals require additional appropria- tions, and the public must see that the need is met
 The society maintains a mental hy- giene clinic in New Haven. and this means and by it's so- cial service department supplies ad- vice and assistance to individuals and their families who have to face the problems of mental disease. Cores pondence and requests for pamphlets should be addressed to the secretary. 39 Church street, New Haven.
 This systematic effort to apply the principles of preventive medicine to mental disease is in line with the most scientific modern methods. The Connecticut society was the first of it's kind in the world, and within eight years has been the inauguration of societies in eleven other states A work which is not only phiIan- thropic but also educational and con- structive deserves the support of Ill thoughtful people.
