TREATMENT FOR INSANE
Experiments of Dental Surgery to Be Conducted in Missouri Hospital by Several Prominent Specialists.

St. Joseph, Mo-, July 2.-Experi- ments in the application of dental surgery to treatment for insanity are souri hospital for the insane, here Walton E. Taylor. Several St. Joseph dentists and a throat specialist are conducting the research, according to the announcement.
 No provision is made by the state for dental service in the state hos pitals, the dentists say, with the re- suit that the experimental work is at the expense of the men engaged in the work. The institution does not contain dental equipment, nor X-ray, nor has it ever had such equipm ent since it was established in 1874.
 pr. Ford said 724 patients have been treated. Sufficient improvement has been noted in a number of pa tients to convince the resea archers that with state cooperation they could effect radical improvement in the condition of many of the patients
 Drs. Ford and Taylor explained that in their work they were follow ing the lead of Dr. Henry A. Cotton, medical director of the New Jersey State hospital at Trenton, who had developed and to a considerable de gree substantiated a theory of rela- tion between diseases of teeth and tonsils and insanity. Germs incubat- ed by such irregularities, pr. Cotton maintains, produce insanity.

Quincy. ILL, July 2.-The open shop struggle is now we'll under way in Quincy.
 The announcement of the Quincy American Open Shop association has been followed by the appointment of a committee by the Trades and Labor Assembly of the city to resist the open shop movement.
 Quincy is a strongly organized labor city, the assembly counting a mem- bership of over 1000 and embracing even the fire department. The labor committee has succeeded thus far in securing the withdrawal of several of the original signers of the open shop agreement. On the other hand. the open shop association reports the re- cruiting of some 50 names in addi- ton to the original list and these, it is said. more than offset defections.
 Retail houses thus far have been slow to endorse the plan owing to the large number of union men.
