INSANITY is ON
THE DECREASE
Cause Is Attributed to Lack
of Patients Due to
Alcoholism.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS records OF
insanity for the past year indicate
that it has not been Increasing as
rapidly recently as it was several years
ago. For the past year there was an
increase OF ten patients at the county
insane institutions and decrease of
forty-six at the state insane hospi-
tails, showing an actual decrease Of in
sanity of thirty-six in the state during
the past year.
Members of the board of control
says that they can account for this
decrease of insanity in only two ways.
First the mortality at the insane hos
pitfalls was larger last year than ever
before owing to the "fu." The deaths
for the fiscal year at these institutions
was about 800. which is nearly 200
over the normal death rate. The sec
ond attributing case is that there are
practically to patients coming to the
hospitals, where the cause of insanity
was attributable to alcoholism. Dur
ing the war period insanity at the
southern hospital for the insane at
Mendoza dropped as per cent and is
now practically nil. One year ago there
were 1,4l0 insane patients in the state
institutions as compared with 1864 on
Jan. 81, this year. At the county in
stitutions there were $500 one year
ago compared with 6,81e on Jan. 81,
this year.
The surprising records are to be
found at the states prison. The popu-
lation at that institution is now on the
steady decline. The 1915 session of
the Wisconsin legislature considered
plans for greatly enlarging that insti-
tuition due to the large increase of
persons committed. At that time the
population was nearly 1000. Since
then there has been steady decline,
On July /, 1916, the prison population
was GA; on July /, 1917, the popula-
ton was 1874; on July /, 1918 it was
824; on July 1, 1919 it had dropped to
1853, and on Jan. 81. 1920, it was TAT.
Whether these records are indicative
Of similar changes throughout the
country there are no records here to
PAVNCs UuL buS OIL ia w IkC0n-
sin state board Of control believe that
there may be even greater decreases
in the prison population of the state.
There has been a slight increase of
feeble minded in the state. One year
ago the population Of feeble minded
under public care was LILO as compar-
ed with 1853 on Jan. 81 At the pres
ent time there seems to be a demand
for entrance to the tubereular insti-
buttons of the state. There are SO pa
tients on the waiting list. The popu-
lation at the Wales sanitarium is 1856
of which rs are women; at the Toma-
hawk camp the population is 20, and at
the county sanatoria the population
is 634, making tubercular population
in the state under public care s99.
The school for the deaf has a popu-
lation Of 154; school for the blind 105;
industrial school for boys, 439; public
school at Sparta, 246; reformatory at
Green Bay, 272, and industrial school
for girls, 239.

BLACK CAT CO.
CHANGES NAME
lContinued from page b

lied under the name of the Black Cat
Textiles company. 1t united with the
great stocking plant in Kenoshe, the
great underwear plant of the Cooper
Manufacturing company at Benning-
ton, Vermont. This plant was taken
over on the first of December, 1915,
and at the same time work was started
on the big branch mill at Sheboygan
which was opened in the spring of
1917, and which is now employing more
than four hundred people. The plant
at Harvard, Illinois, was added year
later and just a few weeks ago the
company opened new plar4 at Green
Bay, with thirty machines in operation
and with big plans for expansion.
Company Employs Thousands.
The new Allen A company employs
more than thirty-fve hundred people
in the various plants under its con-
troll and it is declared that the com
pany has developed the knitting ma
chinery to its highest efficiency. Auto
matte machines of wonderful capacity
are in use in all of the plants of the
company and by this means an out
put far greater than that of any other
similar mills is secured. The com
pany was the first to develop the dye
industry in this country when the war
put an end to the Importation of Ger
man dyestuffs and the dye plant at
Kenosha has made a most satisfactory
substitute for the German products.
President G. C. Allen of the organ
ization now has under him many men
and women who have been connected
continuously with the company for
more than thirty years.

FLU" TRAVELS
IN CIRCLES
Medical Expert Predicts
Another Epidemic
In 1922
FIGURES PROVE CLAIM

kenosha doctors are particularly I'M
terested in an article in a medical
journal, reprinted from the Philadel-
phia Ledger, with reference to the
recurrence of influenza in Kenosha and
elsewhere last winter and predicts
other epidemics next September, an
other in April, 1921, serious one in
December of the same year, and a
mild one in August, 1922.
In November last DR.. John Brown
lee predicted in the London Lancet
that there would be q recurrence in
January and February Of this year
OF the influenza epidemic. He based
his prediction on a study of infuenza
epldemics in the past. He found they
occurred or required at intervals Of
80 weeks, providing the 33rd week did
not fall between June and December,
IN which case the recurrence might
be expected at the end of SIS weeks,
or SO weeks. He regarded the fall
epidemic of 1918 as an exception to the
rule. The epidemic that has been rag
ing in the United States and now is
subslding came exactly Sc weeks after
the 1918 visitation.
The authorities at Washington say
the periodicity suggests that we may
be dealing with injecting organisms
which not only have the power of
reproducing themselves in a virulent
form continuously for a long period
it susceptible persons are exposed, but
have the power of developing in cycles
OF 33 or 66 weeks.
w. LeMar, president of the Mutual
Life Insurance company, of Philadel-
phia, had done Of his actuaries go over
the influenza and pneumonia death re-
cord of the United States in a number
of selected cities to check up DR..
Rrownlee's statement. The result JUS
titles the eminent British doctors
theory. The actuary went further
back. He went back to the grip" re-
cords of the period from 1890 to 1898,
inclusive. They show those epidemies
occurring in cycles of 33 weeks, being
severe when the 80 week periods came
in winter and light when they occurred
in summer months.
Apparently Kenosha is safe until
the severe epidemic of 1929. 1t is
predicted that the epidemic will not
pc so severe as the germs appear to
become less virulent with each sue
ceeding edidemic.

Men Are Scarce
Report Agents
Where is the hired man :?

Wnere is the hlred man?
To the question, "Will there be a
shortage of farm labor in your coun-
ty," 20 out Of 81 county agents in
Wisconsin recently reported dyes"
The agents in Rock, Barron, Winnie
bago, Waupaea, Kenosba, jefferson,
Green Lake and Waukesha counties
report a decided shortage. Only six
counties, Ashland, Lincoln, Wood.
Price, Villas, and Oconto have no short
age.
Every few of the county agents have
any solution to the pfoblem," says X.
/ Hatch, assistant director of agri-
culture extension. Some suggest less
quantity but more quality.
Others urge campaign for city
labor.
In speaking about the reason for
this labor shortage, B. H. Hubbard. of
the department of economics in the
College of Agriculture, says, Higher
wages and shorter hours in industries
are attracting farm boys to the city,
This does not mean, however," he con-
tinues, that farm labor is being under
paid, but rather that farmers cannot
afford to pay such high wages as city
manufacturers are able to offer"
According to reports gathered by
Earl Cooper, director of the short
course in the College of Agriculture,
farm wages this year will average Is
per cent higher than in 1919, although
it is estimated that In 1919 thew were
80 per cent higher than at the begin
ming Of the war. The graduates of
the short course this year are hiring
out at wages ranging from S45 to $500
month, including board, room and
washing. This means an average of
more than S75 month as compared
with $65 month received last year.
