no connection between them and that
any affliction of the mind had nothing
to do with the state of the body.

treatment, which would make him and
keep him as physically well and happy
as possible, he would at least have
that much better chance OF OvercOm-

But the only idea that men could
grasp In those days was that an in
sane man was so different from q
sane one that ordinary care and COM
fort were thrown away on him. So in

were tied and chained and put I'm

that was supposed to be good for their

But we are getting better and saner
ideas now ourselves. In recent num-

how far we have advanced. For many
years now, she says nurses have
prided themselves on being especially

nursing mental patients.
This does not mean simply caring
for patients who are violently insane.

Kmgpiin Closes
for Week to
Repair Fire
Damage
By R. d. THOMAS

j. w. Wood, the young Kingpin
chieftan. surveyed his fire-ridder
establishments in Mt. Pleasant to-
day with a long face, and an
nounced definitely and grievously
that there'd be nothing stirring
for a week. Wood has closed shop
until next Monday.
On that day 80 alleys will be
reopened. 1t will be several
weeks before the ten that were
DESTROYED are replaced. They
were half eaten by flames that
started in the pit of an alley near
the center of the group of ten
that make up the south section
Of the second floor of the bowling
establishment. They are on the
third floor of the Tomkins Build
ing.
The pits of several alleys down
stairs were charred and can be
repaired in short order. But this
section has been put out or com
mission temporarily by dripping
water. The water is taken up AS
ii falls and alley experts say there
will be no lasting damage
The alleys in the west group,
both upstairs and downstairs. are
unaffected by the fire, although
the ceilings and walls in places are
blackened and peeled. These alleys
could be opened Immediately, btt
1t was thought best to close the
entire works and make a swift,
thorough job of renovating the
whole place.
There was strong indication
that the fire resulted from
deliberate act, and the police are
investigating along that line. How
the fire could have worked down
from the third floor to the see
0nd is a puzzler and there Is
every evidence that 1t started on
the upper floor.
Four leagues have been trans
ferred temporarily to the KingDin.

Jones Finds Time For
Golf In Spite Of
Everything

Once an amateur attains UNI
usual proficiency in any sport
he invariably finds it difficult
to remain in the background.
When Bobby Jones, the national
champion, entered business after
leaving college, the story was
circulated that he would have
little time for golf; in fact, did
not expect to take part IN
anything except the national
tournaments. What a difference
right now! The champion,
spending the winter at Sarasota,
Fla, finds time to play almost
daily, taking part in exhibition
matches and entering tourna-
ments, for, according to report,
he has sent in his entry for the
Tampa open, to be held Febru-
ary &c and "a. Jim Barnes, the
British open title holder, has
also entered.
