AN EXCELLENT INSTITUTION

On a recent visit to Gainesville, we
had an opportunity to look over the
new home for the epiIeptic and feeble
minded built by the state near that
city.
The home is located ON high pine
land about two miles from the center
of Gainesville. and about half a mile
beyond the Alachua County Fair
grounds. The center of the institution
will be the big building to be used
as home for inmates. Tt is of two
stories, in the form of cross, and is
mostly taken up with dormitories
These are large and well ventilated
rooms, furnished with very comfort
able single beds. The building is we'll
provided with bath rooms, containing
both tubs and showers. toilets, etc.
There are big, airy screened veran-
das all around the house, and it looks
like the inmates win have comfort
able life in it.
The kitchen and dining rooms are
in another big building to the right
of the central or administration build
ing. It is fitted up in a substantial
and convenient manner, with every
facility for cooking and serving
meals. The upper story of this build
ing contains the sleeping quarters
bathrooms, ETC., for the assistants
and altho everything is useful and
nothing ornamental, it is also neat
and comfortable.
All the buildings have electric
light and steam heat, and up-to-date
fire apparatus.
To the left of the main building
is a neat cottage, which we suppose
will be the home of the superinten.
dent.
This is a much-needed institution
and it is greatly to the credit of oul
state that it was founded. There viii
be farm attached to the home, where
all the inmates able to do such worl
will be employed.

The choir from Island Grove had

was faithful member of that order.

it would be extremely difficult to ad-

Senator Penrose and Congressman
Fofdney. chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, are seeking a
way to reduce Government expendi-
lures to such an extent that in the
event of the expected abolition OF
the excess profits tax, neither the
sales nor any substitute tax will be
necessary.
1t Is estimated that a turnover or
gross sales tax, on a one per cent
basis, would raise between 81 900, ,OO0.-
