GREAT ARTIST DIED POOR

ways Van Dyck became greater thar
his master. He had much more feel

soft and cool, and not glaring like
those Of Ruben's. They blend together
in beautiful harmony as notes in mus

alyck his court painter. After that
this artist painted portraits Of the
royal family and of many Of the grea,
people in England He did a picture
of King Charles on horseback which
is famous all over the world.
But Van Dyck like many another
great man did not always get paid
for his work. Perhaps this is one
reason why he spent long holidays on
the continent. He died poor man.

USE TESTS TO SOLVE

ditlon aof Patient and Court Acts
Accordingly.
The IN sanity problem is practically
solved
This was the declaration OF DR.. Jas.
Whitney Hall of Chicago, Cook county
insanity commissioner, in announcns
the success of the new method of
treating insane patients in the county
court, recently inaugurated by Judge
Thomas Scully.
The danger OF being enormously
adjudged insane and imprisoned in y
madhouse is completely eliminated by
the new treatment. Transitory insani.
ty involving merely temporary mental
arrangements, is now Immediately de.
tected and the victis restored
"As a matter Of fact, out Of seven
tv.five cases or more we've had each
week." said Or. Hall, "the greater per
centage have been of transitoiy In
sanity, Formerly such patients had to
bear the stigma of being adjudged in.
sane in the county court and sent to q
madhouse.
"But under Judge Scully's admins,
tration such patients now are sub.
jectad to blood and spinal fluid tests,
which readily reveal the character of
their affliction. And transitory case,
are handled in the Psychopathic Hos
pital. the patient being returned to his
home when cured"
All persons suspected Of being in
sane undergo these tests. Only those
found hopelessly insane are arraigned
IN the county court.
another great benefit IN the new
method DR.. Hall declared, 'is that OF
making a complete record of each
case. This Is sent to the state asylums
with the patient and proves a positive
aid to the asylum authorities In their
efforts TO handle the case. Previous.
~ no records were made and in many
instances when patients arrived at the
asyums the authorities were com
pletely in the dark as to the nd.
ture of their ailments"
