TOLESSEN INSANITY

The world may not seem to be i'm
proving in some respects but 1t re-
quires little investigation to assure
us that the treatment of the unfor-
tunate, the blind and the sick in body
or mind, has undergone a marvellous
change for the better.
The Charities Aid Association OF
New York State is working on the
theory that where it was possible to
reduce the white plague in that state
during the period 19o7-2o "a percent il
may be possible to equally reduce the
scourge Of insanity.
In this undertaking the Association
is not unmindful of the truth under
lying the assertion that as one think.
so is he. Their plan includes cultiva-
ton of health through proper habits
OF the mind and the cutting out OF bad
mental habits.
1t is believed much may be accom- =
plished through cultivation of right
attitude on the part of parents and
teachers. BY taking youthful cases
promptly in hand, by intoxicating bet
ter understanding on the part of those
having control of such persons there
is reason to- expect the future of the
unfortunates will be made much
brighter.

EDUCATION VS.. ALCOHOL

rcctors are Governor Alien OF Kansas,
William J. Bryan, Senator Capper
and Luther Burbank.
Concerning the p. 'oses OF this
organization Captain Hobson, who is
the leading spirit, makes the follow
ing statement:
For many years have been trying
10 find the way 10 bring about the
systematic education of society in
tho truth about alcohol. knowing that
the truth would produce in the indi-
>idual an adherence for the drug,
and in society would arouse the deep
est OF social emotions-self-p reserva-
ton and protection OF the offspring
which would be curative Of the ills OF
alcohol in society.
My examination of the results OF
scientific mbled for me
by the government from all lands
changed the course Of my own life.
Put into my speech The Great De-
stroyer' and distributed to millions,
these truths had a similar effect upon
others and helped TO form the thought
OF the whole country upon the organic
nature OF the disease OF alcoholism in
society. and upon the necessity OF or
ganic treatment. IL civilization is 20
he saved from disintegration under
the social and destructive forces
produced by the action of this drug
upon the upper brain OF man.
THE Transforming and social.
healing power OF the knowledge of
this truth cannot he questioned. The
difficult. constructive problem Is how
20 insure Il society shall be syste-
matically inoculated with tbs truth.
My labor with existing temper
ance and prohibition organizations.
and my work with special committees
Of The World Congress Against Al
cohol,' have eliminated in the full
conviction that a new Organization
taking no part, as such. In political
or other strife over prohibition or
other questions OF policy-is abso-
lutely necessary. II must be created
for and exist solely for this work OF
education. To the standard Of this
education treatment all men can rally.

Then came the wcitzcl lock. SIS feet
long, completed by the United States
government in 1881. In the anne year
the government assumed control of g
entire project.
At that time nationally prominent
engineers visiting the 500 declared the
Wcitzel lock would he large enough to

small for 90 per cent of the traffic and
is used as repair basin or drydock.
The Poe lock. 500 feet long and 100
feet wide was completed in 1896. This
was followed by the Davis lock. 1850
feet long and so feet wide. and the Sa-
bin lock. of tho same dimensions as

The lock across the river IN Ontario
is of about the same size as the Poe.

The American locks are surrounded
by a beautiful government park, large

engineer in charge. who built the sa-
bin and Davis locks.
The traffic through the locks in 1920
was three times the amount passing
the Suez canal. More freight passed
here in October, 1920, than went
through the Panama Canal for the en-
tire year.
The cost of operating and caring for
the St Mary's canal and locks In 1920
was $4,000, which amount TO less
than three mills on each ton Of freight
