QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 What Price?
 It would be as great satisfaction to O DOC Brady as it could be to any correspondent if he could not only name the doctor the correspon- dent should consult for this or that treatment but also say that the treatment vii lcost just so many cents. simoleons, centuries or grands. But that is out of the question. It is no small task to keep the neces- sary records or data on 150,000 doc tors. The doctor or specialist he recommends is reputable one and therefore will not demand fee in excess of the scale of fees customary in tn particular community.
 COncussion
 Can any reaction follow seven years after concussion of the brain? (E. L)
 Answer-Co -Concussion is vague theory. Damage to skull or brain may be followed years later by brain abscess. But pain in head or necek is not likely to be due to such a cause. Don't worry about it - give your doctor your history and your compaint and let him find out what causes your head or neck pain.

A CASE OF WIFE WHIPPING
State VS.. Charles E. Green,
charged with assault and battery
committed on his wife Sarah E.
Green, on Friday, June 6, 1890.
Witness, Sarah E. Green, Malinda
Green and Georgianna LeCompte.
Held in $500 to answer the charge
of assault and battery and in $500
to keep the peace. The above is a
transcript from the docket Of Es-
quire Budd, the hearing in the case
having transpired on Monday af-
ternoon. Mrs. S. E. Green is the
daughter of Mrs. Georgianna Le-
Compt; the latter, who had taken
her daughter home living on ad-
joining farms near Blackiston's
Cross Roads bringing the suit.
1t appeared in evidence that the
horses had got into the wheat field
and in trying to get them out Mr..
Green had become very much an
gered. He called to his wife to
head them off in a certain direc-
ton but she felt that she could not
do this at the speed they were go
ing without running a risk of be-
ing run over. She proposed open
ing the gate so they could be turn
ed in to the pound; but this was
not what he wanted, so with the
use Of an oath he told her to go in
the house. She replied Charley,
if you talk to me that way I won't
help you at ALL" This was follow
ed by a blow from a piece Of fence
rail which struck her above the hip
very much stunning her, followed
another from his fist on the eye,
which knocked her down. Mr..
Green's mother Malinda Green,
acknowledged to the facts as
charged said his wife was doing all
she could to help, and had done
nothing to give offence, and that
she had repeatedly warned her son
that the giving way to his temper
would get him into serious trouble.
1t was also shown that he had
treated his wife violently several
times previously, without any pro
vocation. She had submitted to it
uncomplainingly because she did
not want the matter to become
public. Her injuries were such
from the bruises and the nervous
shock that Dr. Clifton was sent for
and soon as able was removed to
her mothers and declares her in
tention not to live with him again.

SEEK MENTAL

IL State Department is Great
ed Will Place Farnhurst on
Par With General Hospitals
SUPPORT OF PHYSICIANS

The creation of a state depart
ment of mental health will be
sought at the next General Assem-
bly, by the officials of the Delaware
State Hospital of Farnhurst This
plan, if accepted, will remove the
state mental hospital from the
category of welfare organizations
and place it on a par with general
hospitals, the current issue of the
Delaware State Medical Journal
disclosed. Such a move, the lead
ing editorial of the journal states,
would make Delaware the first
state in the nation to be farsighted
enough to put the state hospital on
the same basis as general hos
pitals. The support of all the ply
sicians of the state is asked by the
medical journal for this proposal.
AT the present time" the journal
explains, "the Delaware State
Hospital is not a charitable organ
ization,' since over 20 per cent of
the expenditure for the mainten-
ance of the hospital is cared for
by the fees from paying patients.
The percentage has been increased
gradually and the authorities of
the hospital feel that it will reach
the peak of 40 per cent in the near
future, which would be favorably
comparable to most of the approx
ed general hospitals. Nowhere in
the United States" the editorial
continues, has any state hospital
become one-fourth supported by
fees from paying patients. Ma
tional organizations are attempt
ing in induce all states to consider
this as proper step toward ac-

We believe that what Delaware
has achieved, has been through the
whole-hearted cooperation of the
practicing physicians. The med
ical journal editorial points out
that the concensus of psychiatrigts
in the United States and Canada
and is that the public has been
sufficiently educated to make def
mite changes in the care of the

STEEPLECHASE
AT RACE TRACK
Stables Move to Delaware
Park Eligibles to Vie For
Two Big Feature Stakes
TWO JUMPING LAYOUTS

Led by Annibal and Ossabaw,
rivals in the recent match race, the
steeplechasing colony will move en-
masse on Delaware Park, now that
the Belmont meeting has come to
an end. Both Ossabaw and Ami
bal are eligible for the two richest
jumping events at Delaware Park
where the jumping races have
been geared to begin following the
conclusion of Belmont steeplechas-
ing. There will be a jumping race
each day-with the exception of
Saturdays and holidays the
conclusion of the Delaware meet
ing July 4th. There is to be no
racing of any kind at Delaware on
Monday, June IL.
Delaware's two big jumping
stakes surpassed in value in this
country only by the Belmont
Grand National Steeplechase-
the Georgetown Steeplechase
Handicap. Annibal and Ossabaw
both are eligible for both of these
$4,000 added stakes which will
gross close to $4,000 each. The
fourth steeplechase feature is the
Vicmead lightweight steeplechase
handicap.
The three most powerful steeple-
chase stables in the country at the
moment are those of Thomas
Hitchcock, Mrs. Payne Whitney
and F. Ambrose Clark. All will
be heavily represented at Della
ware, Mr. Hitchcock having ar
ranged for ten head to race at the
Wilmington course including An
nibal. His string will be stabbed
at Delaware Park itself.
Other jumpers will be shipped to
William DUPONT, Jr.'s nearby Fair
Hill track because of the great
number of horses and consequent
lack of stalls at Delaware. Mr..
Clark's string, which probably will
be the most numerous, consisting
of ii head, will be stabbed at the
elder James Healy's Sun View
Farm at adjacent Glasgow, Del.
This is the veteran trainer James
Healy who is the father of James
w. big Jim) Healy who trains
for John Hay Whitney.

trainer for several owners of
steeplechasers will have his charg-
es at Fair Hill This is Mr.. du-

ed by many to the Liverpool Grand
National layout in England. 9th
ers prefer this location also, but

doubtless will be stabbed at Della
ware alongside of her fiat runners
who have been on the ground for
some time.
| Well-known owners whose colors
are likely to be seen in action in

! lechases are Mrs. Marion DUPONT

ers as well as trainers of steeple-
chasers, will be in action at the
meeting.
The Delaware Park course has
two jumping layouts-the smaller
one within the confines of the mile
oval; and the other going out in
the country, or beyond the dirt
track on the backstretch. Later 1T

at the same point as the smaller
