In many cases, the mental insti-
tutions of today, right here in Amer
lea, are as grotesque and horrible as
any of the institutions against which
Charles Dickens used to write his
most bitter diatribes. But the citi
zens of tomorrow will go into them,
nevertheless. These are facts, dug
up personally and reported by
Joseph Harrington in the March
issue of Cosmopolitan.
Mr.. Harrington had an assign
ment from the magazine to study.
and then write some articles about
the mental institutions of today, the
number of patients cared for in these
institutions, the type of care received
and the state laws governing them.
He doesn't spare anyone's feelings
in his reports.
The average citizen has a horror
of discussing or reading any data on
insanity. The average citizen pre-
fers to forget that there are millions
of people shut up in hospitals, pri-
vate sanitariums and worse, who
might be useful and helpful citizens
in the United States. Prison reform
is far more popular activity for
the civic minded. Prisoners are apt
to be nice Straightforward murder

A SUPPOSED CASE OF
RTES

A dog having all the evidences of
a canine with the rabies, made a
stir on the Landing road on Satur-
day. John w. Ford and his young
er brother Matthew, were at work
in repairing the road. A dog COM
ing in the direction of the town
passed the last named and when
nearing John came near puddle of
water at the sight of which he had
a fit. On getting over this he turn
ed his course in the direction he
came from swapping at punches of
grass or anything that he passed.
Matthew, seeing this and having
nothing with which to protect him
self, thought the safest place was
up the telephone pole out of his
reach, the animal trying to bite the
pole as he passed. Coming to an
other puddle directly after he had
another fit and still another, and in
turning irto a field fell into water
deep enough they thought to drown
it, but it soon recovered and start
ed across the field in the direction
of a man spreading manure from a
wagon. The man got into the
wagon out of his reach and the dog
made for the horses, biting first
one and then the other, which so
them that they broke
for the house in run. The team
belongs to w. H. Schafer, who
moved to thte farm of Mrs. S. G.
Daniel the first of March. 1t after
wards tried to bite one of the
Transportation horses but was kill
ed before it accomplished its OBJ
ject.
