INSANITY DECREASES
AT STATE INSTITUTIONS

=
Most of the state charitable and pen.
al institutions show decrease in pop
ulation for the past month, according
to a statement issued by the State
Board of Control Tuesday. The state
institution for the chronic insane had
ago of 1.415 and as compared with
1886 on Sept. l of this year This is a
decrease Of twenty nine The county
institution for the cronic insane had
a population one year ago of 1888 as
compared with 1884 this year. This
is decrease of nineteen.
Taken for the year the State Board
of Control believes this is one OF the
most remarkable showings that has
been made. For several years insan-
ity was increased year by year.
Contrary to expectations both the
state and county institutions show a
decrease in tuberculosis. 1t is only
slight, but is probably an evidence
of better home campaign being car
ried on in each county.

HAIR TONIC BARBER
IN MADISON JAIL

Prohibition was too much for Harry
McNally, barber at Madison, SO he

was imposed by the superior court.
Harry took the ten days Recently a
hair tonic barber was in Baraboo, Ken

which gave as its authority Attorney
