The American people are generous
spenders n that's why our Industries
are the greatest in the world. But
as a nation, we are not extravagant
We refuse to pay more for things than
thew are worth to us. Every business
man knows this-and thus manufac-
tiIrers wholesalers and retailers are
anxious to restore business to safe
and sane basis, and for months have
extended earnest efforts to bring COM
modify prices back, as near as possible,
TO normal. 3
AS a result Of the success of these
efforts we are now able to price our
goods so as to meet our pubiic's idea
as to value, to make the Low Prices
You Demand. We are confident that
our patrons will welcome and avail
themselves of this opportunity. There
are many things that you have done
without ~ feeling that you could not
afford to pay the prices that were
necessary.
But now that PRICES HAVE
BEEN FORCED DOWNWARD there
is no longer any reason to wait Re-
plenish your wants now = buy what
YOU need-while prices are reasonable.
We are certain that youth have no
occasion to regret purchases made at
this time, on the basis of Prices Pre-
vailing During This Sale.

batcbets and a dagger With this crazy
outat. the supposed impenetrable newspa-
cer and stovepipe armor and superfiuity Of
weapons. the crazy man strolled down the
street TO the amusement of the children
and passersby, and suddenly entering the
court house, without a word OF warning
shot the Judge, a bailiff and Juror before
he was overpowered.
That night the man became raving'
writhing maniac Nobody had suspected
his growing insanity, and with a cunning
unusual in crazy people he had stealthily
built himself the outfit Of armor and ac-
cumulated his arsenal Of weapons.
A photograph of Ink In his arms and
armor is printed herewith, and also other
photographs OF insane patients and speci-
mems OF their art work. None OF these

cut asylum.
In discussing the complicated problem OF
what to do with the hopelessly insane,
members OF the Connecticut Legislature
and other State officials displayed variety
of opinion. The argument In favor OF DO.
ing away with such unfortunates was based
almost entirely on Humanitarian GROUNDS
and the economic value OF such pro
cedure was seldom even mentioned.
Although Il was admitted that many
members OF the inspecting committee had
expressed themselves in favor OF putting
hopelessly insane and unhappy patients to

how is the decision to be reached? In my
experience have not see so many insane
as DR.. Wilcox, but from what have seen
l know that many insane people suffer
more torture than normal people imagine,
and IL 1t is known that such a patient is
!ncurable, what argument can be advanced
that 1t would not be the greatest possible
kindness to put him out of the way?'
Senator Charles M. Bakewell,, who is
head of the department of philosophy and
psychology at Yale University, agreed with
Mr.. Baxter on the desirability Of such a
procedure.
"Rut," said the Senator, human nature
being what 1t is, and human knowledge be-
ing what Il is, for one should not like to
vest such power in any individual or group.

co we know that a person is hopelessly

be perfectly right, but ! understand from

He then went to secure the assistance Of
friend to give hT the anesthetic, and
while he was gone she telephoned for
help But the maniac was so vigorous
that, armed with long knife, he kept off
her rescuers for several hours before he
could be overpowered.
Recently very distinguished German
surgeon attracted some attention by the
great number OF his cases whicn expired
ON the operating table. This caused some
remark but was thought not to be any
thing more than rather bad run of luck
One day woman came into his Office
and asked him to examine slight abra-
sion on her ear which she feared might
lead to an infection and trouble.
Il can fix that for you at once" said the
surgeon, cheerfully. Just step into the
next room"
AS soon as the patient seated herself In
q chair for examination the surgeon cut
of her ear with swift stroke Of his
lancet to her horror and indignation. This
resulted III the surgeons immediate re-

OF an operation that the patient had ex-

of suffering. have heard similar opinions
from other experts, and question whether
they are not to be believed as readily as
DR.. Wilcox.
But there is another If should say
that such law as is proposed might be all
right If it were certain that we shall never
be able to deal with the insane any moro
effectively than we are able at this time
And that seems a pretty big If to me.
Not more than hundred years ago in this
very land insane people were beaten to
drive the devils out of them; witches, who
might have been a little queer, were
burned; and up to Civil War times very
little effort was made to cure insanity
restraint of the insane was all that was
attempted.
(Which proves to me that the study Of
the mind is in its infancy, and that IL we
only persist we shall sometime know so
much about diseases of the mind that we
would no, more think of executing an In
sane person than we would of killing a
sufferer from adenoids.
Despite considerable adverse opinion,
there is still a group In the State Legis-
lature that is willing to discuss the possi-
bility and the ways and means OF such a
procedurel Even the most vigorous advo-
Gates of DR. Wilcox's idea admit that II
would have little chance OF success at pres

There is, perhaps, no stranger

Michael Ink, peacable me-

Illinois. Suddenly one day he
sailed forth from his home
dressed in a complete suit OF
armor made out of newspapers,
except for two joints of stove
pipe on his legs and iron shoes
and metal arm bands from which
protruded sharp spikes. He car

a chain around his neck. In each
hand he carried revolver and

on later consideration that
many practical difficulties
stood in the way. The chief
consideration vas the fear
that such power vested In a
commission would be entire
ly too great. Both Senator
Edward F. Hall. the chair
man, and Representative
Robert o. Eaton, the house
chairman of the committee,
admitted that such an action
would be humane, but both
raised objections on the
score of impracticability and
because of disagreement with
the principles and practise of
Christianity.

where the Legislature had
reconvened, that the chief OBJ
lection would come from re-
ligious sources. This fact
was noted by William C. Bax-
ter, field secretary of the
Connecticut Prison Associa-
tion. who was outspokenly on
DR.. Wilcox's side in advocat-
ing an easy death for those
hopelessly suffering from
mental diseases.
The Washington times., 1921-02-27

Helen Miller, who committed thefts at
doctors offices, was arrested and sent to
the Asylum for Insane Criminals at Au-
burn, N. Y, and afterward turned up at
the insane asylum at Blackwelrs Island.

glass, thirty-four splinters Of wood, two

one needle from her body.
Another patient of DR.. Hamilton was a
man who had been known as very bigoted
and narrowminded. He deliberately
placed his left hand on a chopping block
and nearly amputated it with one blow OF
an axe When asked why he had done
this thing he replied that he had been tor.
tured by the fear that he had defrauded
his children and stolen their securities.
and that as the Scriptures said, IF thy
had offend thee, cut 1t on, he mad
done so.
MANY OF these cases have fallen under
my observation from time to time," says
Dr. Hamilton, in his memoirs, among
them that of an ascetic clergyman who,
suffering from the realization Of early i'm
moralities committed when very young.
inflicted upon himself terrible mutila-
ton as the result of an obsession, which
left him in a condition akin to that found

Palace at Peking."
