MANTLE IF SCIENCE COVERS
 ILLS IF "JACGINC" DEBAUCHERY
An exchange says:

a scientific cure by the murll- |cipality. At the lnebriate Farm on Los Feliz road, at Los Angeles, a laboratory for the cure of alcoholism is being installed, to be under the direct supervision of Dr, TT. H. Trinwith, specialist in that phase of the profession, with a successful career.
 So far as public reports show it is the first time a city has undertaken to draw the mantle of science over the ills of tagging and debauch- cry.
 Out in the country where the subjects can have the open air and outdoor work, and clean food and lodging, the city is to carry on the ex- pertinent of the scientific cure of drunkards and drug fendS.
 The movement has it's inspiration in an effort to aid juvenile delinquents by curing their parents of the liquor or drug habits. Amazing revelations of the results of drunkenness in the homes is shown by the reports of the juveniles that have come under the care of the juvenile bureau of the po- lice department.
 Sergt. Leo Marden, head of the bu- reau, has statistics to show that near ly 40 per cent of all juvenile delin- uuents come from parents who drink to excess.
 By making the Inebriate Farm into first-class sanatorium, in way of efficiency, the police intend to take these erring parents to the farm, give them the cure, and restore tEem in their homes in an effort to have them improve the conditions under which their children live It is one of the most momentous movements, in so- biological way, that has ever been launched in the city.
 At the present time but eighteen drunkards are held at the Inebriate Farm. This farm was installed to give open air, good food and outdoor work to the men who could not control their craving for liquor. The success of plain work and plain living has been remarkable On this showing alone, .he confiscation of the Inebriate Farm for other purposes was halted and it's continuance assured.
 So far hundreds of persons have been cured-many of them probably permanently. Under the supervision of Sergt. John North they have con- quered their weaknesses by work in the open.
 They provide the labor that makes it possible for the city to maintain a garden that keeps the jails supplied with vegetables and considerable meat.
 But some falter when they leave. In them the craving is buried too deep for fresh air and wholesome living to conquer. They fall as soon as they are released.
 It is to save these "repeaters" and 10 treat others whose conditions do not warrant sentences from the police court, that Sergt Marden induced Dr Trinwith to open his laboratory on the farm.
 Rooms have been arranged for the new department. In these the spe- cialist will install a complete equip ment, giving a cure for both liquor and drug habits which is indorsed by he leading physicians, and which in
 he past has been within the reach only Of persons with sufficient money 10 pay for the treatment.
 The farm has a capacity of 300 patients" as the residents will now De called. In the past only those per sons found worthy of special treat 1ent when they came into police court on charges of drunkenness have been ordered to the farm.
 In the future all persons with the drink habit, and parti ularly those who are parents of children, whether the latter are delinquents or not, will be committed to the Inebriate Farm for the cure.
