Changes at the Blackfoot Asylum.

For thirty-five years the Blackfoot
asylum has been used chiefly as a
detention hospital for insane people,
with no systematic endeavor at cur
ing any but the most hopeful cases.
The state has just recently COM
pleted new receiving hospital
equipped with the most modern
things for curing the insane, and all
the inmates are to be examined by a
board of experts to see what II any
thing can be done for a cure in each
case. These examinations will be
commenced soon and will continue
until the task is completed there be-
ing $50 patients in the institution,
There are a good many there who
are not insane, but have been COM
mitted for various reasons, some OF
them on fiimsy or trumped-up
charges made by relatives or others
who wanted to get rid of them or
be relieved of their care. These will
be returned to their homes or rela-
tives and the state will see to it
that care and support are forth
coming There are some cases OF
actual insanity and there are rela.
tives who are able to pay for their
keep and have been evading this du-
ty. In such instances the state will
take measures to compel them to do
their duty.
