STATE EXAMINER
CRITICISES LEX
INGTON ASYLUM
Makes Five Complaints Against Instl-
tuition, and Praises Some Of
the Departments.

Frankfort, KY, November 15-Con-
GLIDING a report on the Eastern State
Hospital at Lexington, the Oldest in
stitution of the, kind west of the Alleg-
henies, and third in the United States,
Assistant State Inspector and Elk
aminer c. C. Thomas said
ut is not indulging in extravaganza
such as has been noted in many 9th
er State institutions, and is employing
better business methods and less pol
itics than some of the other institu4
lions under the Board of Control"
He does, however, recommend some
improvements, such as better discip-
line among the attendants and more
attention to their duties by assistant
physicians.
There are A,40O patients, and, while
he was there, he said, patient broke
his leg, and it was not set for thirteen
hours, because the superintendent had
to do it himself.
The same patient, an epileptic, af-
terward disjointed the limb, and twen-
ty hours elapsed before medical at
tention was given.
In both instances the assistants
either were absent or gave no atten-
ton to their duties he reports.
at has come to my knowledge" he
continued, that the first and second
physicians have been doing the en-
balming of patients who die at the in
stitution, and that they receive SIS
for each body embalmed.
an months when the death rate Is
large, these physicians make con-
siderable sum in addition to their sal
aries, which is prohibited by Section
Ella, Kentucky Statutes.
While Steward Reed is given credit
for the most productive farm and
dairy of any of the institutions, and
sound business methods, he finds
that goods and supplies have been
ordered for the superintendent and
stewards cottages which were not de-
Ilivered to the receiver and disbursed
by him upon the order of the super
intendent."
Also he found that all supplies for
the offices and cottages are disbursed
by the matron and divided half to the
officers kitchen and a fourth each to
the superintendent and stewards
cottages, irrespective of the amount
bought. This system clearly is wrong
and susceptible of waste"
Flies in a screened dining room, EN-
ployes spending too much leisure time
at the gate and a cost of $4,000 an
nually for water from the city of Lex
ington, when the institution nigh
have its own water supply, are among
the criticisms offered.

said during the month of his exami

dition.

Give Your Child His Own Room.

1.-THE craving for companiOnship Ia
q powerful factor in the life Of every
boy or girl, but a certain amount OF
privacy and wholesome quiet is just
as necessary to the child's develop
ment and happiness. l have known
families where life was made mis-
cradle for everyone because Of the
constant pickering and quarrellng
among the children. When the house
was enlarged so that each one could
have his own room, they suddenly lost
their fretful ways, and improved rap
idly in disposition.
ut means great deal to boy or
girl to know that his small possessions
are sacred from the unsympathetic
eyes and hands Of the grown folks. I
have always trained my children to
respect each others rights. Even If
he hasn't room to himself, each child
has certain shelves, drawers and hooks

Spaniards Gave Name to Cigar.

However strange it may appear, 1t
Is a well-established fact that the word
cigar is derived, though in round
about way from the cicade-that is,
from the Spanish "cigarral,' the place
where the cicade Tin Spanish "cigara")
sings-the garden. The name cigarral
Is generally applied to kind of pleas
ure garden and summer house Gas in
the cigarrales de ToledO), and in Cuba
In particular to tobacco garden or
nursery. After the discovery of the
new world the Spaniards who planted
tobacco in their gardens when offering
the plant to their friends were wont
to say: "Es I'm cigarro de mi cigarral,"
as we would say "a flower from our
garden" The name remained.
