Among the inmates of the wo-

Kan. at one time was a small. red
haired young woman known as Peggy

Kansas penitentiary for women. there

Peggy" wore the same kind of a
blue Bingham dress that the other wo-
men wore. marked with the initials of
the wearerS her hosiery were black
cotton of the same quality worn by the
others; she washed her face in the in
dividual galvanized tin basins just as
the other women did; she ate at the
same table with them, slept on straw
mattressed beds as they did and
washed dishes, swept and scrubbed,
doing her share of the daily chores"
Something Different About Her.
But there was something very diff
ferent about Peggy. She was more
alert and watchful of what was hap
pening around her than were the 9TH
ers; and, more important, she was MOI
infected with the disease which sup
posedly was the cause of her being

Newman was not the name of the in
telligent. red-haired inmate. She was
really Mrs Darlene Newly then in
the employ Of the Kansas state board
of health, and at present secretary OF
the Topeka Provident association.
From Thanksgiving to Christmas
1918, Mrs. Newly remained in the
home. incognito- 1t is known to only
a few persons that she was a repre-
sentative of the state board of health
engaged in making a survey of the
women and conditions in the venereal
disease quarantine at the farm.

came to submit to the goat gland oper-
alton and the demand for goats in the
vicinity of Milford became large.
The first rift in the Lutte came when
Doctor Brink1ey was arrested on a
charge of Illegally selling alcohol. He
entered a plea Of guilty on several
counts. was fined and sentenced to Jail
and at once paroled to continue his
surgical feats. The hospital became
crowded and an annex was fitted out
in another building for the patients
who had submitted to operations and
were recovering.
Doctor BrinkIey left suddenly, i'm
mediately after trouble with his faith
er-in-law, and is said to have gone to
return to Milford in the fall to re-
open the hospital. Later word was
received that he was in San Francisco.
With the removal Of the hospital
equipment Milford people are wonder

set OF city officials (for Milford was
incorporated not long ago at the in
stance of Doctor Brinkley) and with

MILFORD LOSES GOAT CHAMBER
Costly Hospital Equipment of Doctor

town of Milford. in the northern part

OF Mrs. Minnie ,Brinkley. wifel of DR.
John r. Brinkley, of the Brinkley-
Jones hospital association. who an
nounced that the BrinkleS drug store
had been sold to a Topeka man. and
began to superintend the removal of
some of then costly equipment in the
hospital building. Residents tele-
phoned to Sheriff VI. D. Peeso. and
requested him to come to Milford i'm
mediately to stop the moving opera
lions, but Sheriff Peeso declined to
interfere without a warrant and none
was forthcoming.
Numerous pictures have been shown
Of Doctor Brinkley and Baby Bill the
baby being so called because he was
born after one of Doctor Brinkley's
goat gland operations.
Milford residents report that one
load of the hospital paraphernalia
had been placed in storage at a point
near Milford and that another load
had been started toward Junction

it TO some other point.

shortly by an article concerning the
cooperation of the employees, showing
his magnaninfty, his utter disdain for

AFTER describing the condition of the

service even before she attended the

social service at Columbia university.
In 1918 she accepted a position with

to attend the chapeISservice, which the
newcomers were told BY other in
mates was the best thing that hap
pened all week"
Mrs Newly confesses that she lost
several pounds in weight and a Eood
part OF her appetite, not from anS un-
wholesome living condition at the
farm, but from the continual discus
sion of the yenereaf disease subject by
the girls and women affected with it,
and from the shock OF the unaccus-
toned surroundings,
My lack of appetite attracted the
attention of an old colored woman who

she said. ANY food I did not care for
the old woman was glad to devour,
and she received q large part of my

After the five days of quarantine

longed were allowed to join the whole
farm" group, which included nearly
two hundred women, not only those
affected with venereal disease. but the

offenses of all kinds. It is interesting
to know that women who are sent to

charges-those who Commit murder.

themselves aloof from the yenereal

| Sewing Was Chief Task.
Thanksgiving day at the farm was
! the occasion for an exceptionally good
lowed to be day of rest from the
usual tasks. Reading, crocheting, sew

lcupations of the day.
| Sewing on clothing for men at the
| penitentiary was one of the chief
i methods of keeping the farm women
occupied. Overalls and gloves we're
made. under the supervision of trained
teachers. Mrs. Newly sewed daily
with many other women.
Sunday services are held in the sew
ing room, where the zoo or more

Perry. the matron of the farm, who
has been characterized by DR.. s. J.
i Crumbine. secretary of the Kansas
state board of health. as "a woman
with a wonderful understanding OF
psychology of such women" The
service was more philosophical than
religious. the diary writer states.
Mrs. Newly was able to spend much
time with Mrs. Perry thru pre-
/ arrangement to have the former do
typewriting in the matron's office. A
I further aid in her study was a privi-
| lege of reading all correspondence of
the inmates, which had to be censored.
! Inmates Are Tender Hearted.
Redeeminh characteristics of many
women sent to the farm are set forth
in the diary. Women VINO seemed to
be the most hardened and Indifferent
| to their status in life showed them
selves tender hearted and more than
willing to do the heavy work and to
be of service to the matron, or to sick
| or weak patients. The tender care
given a mother and her baby by some

as many unselfish acts.
