Young says the ratio of the sane to JHe insane in this country varies from one In every 250 to one in every COO of population. The average for tbo entire country Is about one to every 350. In this state the ratio of the Insane in the hospitals Is to the total population as one In 500. Cost of Insanity. The report says ; "Tho loss to the state and nation figured both In the actual cost of supporting the insnnc and the loss by the inability of the insane to produce reach an enormous Uguro. This state alone at the last legislature appropriated $709,280 , for the support of the insane during the past blcnnlum. The cost to the nation for maintenance alone Is probably not loss than $10.000,000 a year. "Far more serious , however , than tlir monetary lo-p is the menace to the average standard general health and ability , by the mingling of the Insane and the potentially , or nearly Insane , with the rest of the communl ty. There is nothing moro tragic In our social life that the perpetuation by Ill-ad of the insane constltuatlon vised marriages and the productloi : of morbid personalities , criminals , the insane and Imbecile. The problem if not HO much the care of the present In- mine IIH a determination of the casual element of Insanity as found In the Horlal hahllH , customs and tendencies of our times. Change of Physicians. "In this period which In OHKoiitlall > that of constructive as well as regu lative government the state hospitals should be regarded In the light of their oppoi tiinltlos for careful study of the Inil-nate nature of lnsanlt > as well 'is ! n their character of charitable and remedial Institutions. From this as pect , It would appear that the policy of frequent changes In the medical force of our state hospitals Is unfor tunate for It effectually discourages original and systematic work upon the part of the resident physicians. Tudor this custom the consideration of salary looms large and the phy sician Is regarded as transitory. StillIstlcs of value can only bo ob tained by the employment of a unl- jorm analytical system covering a number of years , and It Is needless to say the results will bo of moro value when the data are elicited by phy sicians of experience In the work than when the work has to bo learnt and rolearnt with every change of a state administration. " Fourteen Nationalities at Hospital.

Ponder , Neb. , Doc. 9. John Craven , a well known and wealthy citizen of this locality , says he doesn't believe there Is much to this leap year talk about girls nabbing husbands promis cuously.

John says that if any girl from Norfolk , Sioux City , Omaha , Lincoln or any other city is tired of city life and wants to come to Ponder and settle down to a good , quiet , country life ho will give the right one a chance. Judge Eiseley Loses Case.

"W. II. Locke , as "The Gawk , " came up to the standard forcasted In the press notices given him previous o i his arrival in Norfolk. Ho played with , force and evident originality.

Like the preparation It repre sents , this charming calendar of ex quisite and appealing beauty stands out in contrast and Is exceptionally unique among art calendars for 190 ! ) . The Pabst extract Hose Girl calen dar , as it Is called , is rich in color , ex clusive in design , with a touch of senti ment that makes a strong appeal to every lover of the beautiful. It portrays trays a charming girl in the bud of life bonding gracefully over a great jardiniere full of American Heauty roses , while in the back-ground and looking from under a cool , Inviting trellis , overhung with vlncH , one can see a magnificent stretch of gron sward loading up to a quaint old Colonial homo. So Skillfully has the artist worked out his conception that it is difficult to Hnd words that will do justice to his achievement. It is quite impossible , however , to give to anyone who has not soon the original , an adequate Idea of the In describable charm ami womanly beauty with which the sweet face of this girl-woman in the foreground is endowed. Indeed , It Is no exaggera tion to say that no more beautiful panel than Pabst Extract Hose Girl Calendar for 1009 could adorn the walls of any home , den or ofllco.
