HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED Increase In United States Revealed by Census Taken by National Com mittee for Mental Hygiene. Insanity In the United States Is de cidedly on the Increase. This fact Is revealed by reason of a census taken of the Insane, feeble-minded, epileptics, Inebriates and drug addicts by the National Committee for Mental Hy giene. Analysis of tills census Is found In the Mental' Hygiene. It was com piled by Horatio M. Tollack, statistici an of the New York State Hospital commission, and Edith M. Furbush, statistician of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. The federal census bureau estimates that the Increase of population from April 15, 1910, to January 1, 1017, was 11.80 per cent. The same government agency found in 1010 that the number of Insane In institutions was 187,791. The census taken In the present year revealed 234,055 Insane persons In In stitutions. Thus the increase In the Insane In Institutions during the corre sponding period was 24.G4 per cent, a growth more than double that of the general population. Moreover, the rate of increase of the Insane in Institutions was relatively greater than that of (he general popu late In every state except Arizona, Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada find South Carolina. Illinois Is one of the states in which the disparity between growth of population and increase in insanity has been greatest. In this state the population Increase was 0.84 per cent, as compared with a percentage of increase of insane in institutions of 27.88. The neighboring state of Indi ana shows an even greater disparity, with percentages of 4.04 and 27.44 re spectively. YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness In stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was Introduced by a Cincinnati pan, who says that freezone dries In a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from his wholesale drug house for you. adv. Why She Blushed. Flossie, the waitress, was very keen on a certain handsome young man who always sat at one of her tables. She fluttered round him and ogled and giggled and explained the young man's lack of response by the fact that he stammered. "Is there anything you want?" she asked one day, and there were several shades of meaning in her tone. The young man glanced at her and said: "Will you let me have a k-k-k " The maiden blushed violently at this significant sound and threw a glance of triumph at the other waitresses. " a k-k-cup?" finished the young man. The girl blushjpd deeper than ever at this and the young man went on: "I kn-know why you're blushing. You thought I was g-golng to ask for a k-k-k-clean cup!" Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as a Gen eral Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and Builds p the Whole System. 60 cents. Good Policy. "I never interfere with other peo ple's affairs." "No?" "No, I stopped that years ago, when I checked up and found that all the money I had ever made came from minding my own business." A Helpful Hint "Do you think it really necessary to go to ihe trouble of havii.tr ;he suspect el couitplaster analyzed by a bacte riologist?" asked J. ' Fuller Gloom. "Haven't you a b'.-other-In-h'v that you can try It on?" Kansas City Star. After a man's friends really know him they often cease to know him. A Message to IVlothers YOU know the real human doctors right around in your neighborhood : the doctors made of flesh and blood just like you : the doctors with souls and hearts : those men who are responding- to your call in the dead of night as readily as in the broad daylight; they are ready to tell you the good that Fletcher's Castoria has done, is doing and will do, from their experience and their love for children. Fletcher's Castoria is nothing new. We are not asking you to try an experiment. We just want to impress upon you the importance of b :ying Fletcher's. Your physician will tell you this, as he knows there are a num ber of imitations on the market, and he is particularly interested in tne weiiare 01 your oaoy. Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of '--"-a Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin! Make Cheap Lotion The Juice of two fresh lemons strain ed Into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quar ter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifler at about the cost one must pay for a small Jar of the ordi nary cold creams. Care should be tak en to strain the lemon Juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets In, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on Juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifler. Just try It ! Make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily Into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should natur ally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough, red hands. Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons. Adv. The Potato Blessing. Hiding outside the city, one will not fall to see the wide expanse of potato plants growing luxuriously, and fortlt with he Indulges in anticipations of the golden plenty that Is soon to be the good fortune of our people. But cloud ing these anticipations is a dark fear that the speculator will invade these premises and get nearly all these pota toes into his own hands and by some sort of restriction or limitations so work the prospects that he will be able to keep up the price and gather in the profits, says the Ohio State Jour nal. It vwould be a decided advantage to the public welfare If It could be so decreed that no producer should sell to a mere speculator. There Is no op pression In that. Of course, it might stave off a little Inconvenience, but it will pay in the end. Let us hope that the beautiful potato prospect will turn out a public blessing. DRUGGISTS PLEASED WITH GOOD KIDNEY MEDICINE I have sold your remedy for the past fifteen years and have sufficient confidence in it to give it my personal recommenda tion.

Bumper crops in New Jersey are being put on wheels and rolled right into the city markets, fresher and faster this year than ever before, and for the first time since the grow ing of perishable products became an extensive industry In the state the farmers feel themselves to some de gree Independent of railroad schdules and freight rates. Motor trucks have solved the prob lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm ers. Hundreds of big cars, some of them with a carrying capacity of sev eral tons, have been put on the roads between the farms and markets this season. Many of these auto trucks are owned by the farmers themselves, having been purchased to replace horses and market wagons. Alert for the Future. "You've got a kt ot weeds In your garden." "Pretty fine weeds, too, don't you think? rejoined Mr. Crosslots. "Surely you are not nursing them along?" "Yes, sir. I've been finding out that so many new things are edible that I'm holding out to see whether sci ence won't discover some way of fry ing the jimpson or stewing the bur dock."

Whdd'Vitell womeri Will Capes and If you like capes and buttons you may have them along with your new fall suit; that is, If you will practice some self-restraint. Buttons appear In small companies not in regiments, as they did on suits for spring and about the widest of capes Is that on the suit pictured here. Few models go to this length in capes and few exceed this in the number of buttons used. Suits have been presented in a great variety of designs from those on the severest lines, without trim ming, to more formal models enriched j with embroidery. Manufacturers ap pear to be of one mind as to coats: they are longer than they have been, and such decorations as they have ap pear at the sides of the skirt portion. Nearly all of them have patch pockets Something New Into the smart company of chic blouses for fall something entirely new has made Its entry. It was announced under an unassuming but misleading title as the "peasant" blouse, but It should be rechrlstened for It looks the part of a princess garb. Whatever the source of its Inspira tion the new garment Is dainty and elegant and has much distinction. As shown In the picture it is made of Ivory-white georgette crepe and em broidered with light rose color and blue silk. It has many points of de parture from current styles in blouses, but its sparing use of decorative fea tures Is just in keeping with the trend of things. Its decoration of Independence be gins with Its manner of fastening, for It buttons up the back with close-set, round crochet buttons. The back Is extended Into a long pepluni terminat ing In pockets at each side and con spicuous by its absence at the front. A very narrow belt, made of the crepe, buttons at one side and Is ornament ed with buttons set across the front. The sleeves are full with a narrow band of crepe headed with embroid ery confirming them at the waist. There is a little embroidery on each pocket and at the bottom of the front of the blouse. The neck Is round with a long tie ntarin nt rleen blue satin tacked about f' "' " ' i k -lit i &'-'V: if h VpUi JjfJSM wipr- I Ml) Mni I H i It ' 1 v p i VHa i-THinTmiiinniiiiiii'" ' 1 -'"i mi i n liiiiT iii'iim mi - Dress Weac Buttons Again. of some sort, but there are exceptions to this rule. Skirts are narrower than they were and the approved length is six to eight inches off the floor. They are rarely trimmed. Attention is centered on coats and they are embellished with braid, chain stitching, embroidery, fur or fur fabrics that are good Imitations of skins. The suit pictured is of heavy gaber dine and its parallel rows of buttons are joined by chain stitching. It has ;i wide belt which falls to make an effort to lessen the size of the waist but adds much to the set and style of the coat. The new colors are quiet and plain cloths predominate. But mixtures ap pear in which a second Inconspicuous color is hardly discovered in the goods until the suit Is examined closely. in Blouses. it to the shoulders. The ends are crossed in the back and hang almost to the bottom of the blouse. They are weighted with a bit of bead fringe, like the satin in color. Gingham Petticoat. The gingham petticoat has suddenly risen to a position of prominence. There have always been gingham petticoats, of course; but they have been worn usually as a matter of eco nomy. Now, however, the gingham petticoat is quite the thing to wear, and It is made In the most attractive styles. Sometimes it is scalloped around the bottom, and perhaps trimmed with handings or pipings of this Is its prettiest fashion. It is usu ally made in stripes, checks or plaids, although there are some of plain blue or pink gingham that are trimmed with bandings or pipings of plaid or stripes cut on the bias. Gingham Folwers on Hats. One of the new tricks of the millin ers who make sport hats is to trim them with brightly-colored gingham Power. CALOMEL IKES YOU IK, UGH!

A Danish doctor at a hospital in Paris has invented a cardboard leg which enables the wearer to go about without crutches two days after his limb has been amputated. The materials used are two sheets of cardboard about three-sixteenth ot an Inch thick, and bandages soaked in a starch solution. After careful meas urements have been taken the card hoard Is cut Into what looks like two peg-tops, which after being soaked in the bath fold round each other and are secured with bandages. The principle Is that of an egg In a cup, and the patient can wear the leg long before the wound is completely healed. He can thus get air and exer cise, which It Is usually impossible to obtain at this phase of his convales cence; also he has to suffer none of the Inconveniences of crutches, a stick sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop erly treated, lasts from six months to a year, by which time a permanent artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

Nesblt, the author of "Your Flag and My Flag," was known to the little village of Cedarville, O., his native home, as only one of the neighborhood. Re cently he returned to Cedarville after a long absence. Of course, his coming was heralded by the local newspaper, so he was expected. When he was walking quietly through the town (he tells the tale himself), he overheard this conversation between two old vil lagers : "I understand by the paper that Will Nesblt Is back In town today." "So they say. I wonder what he looks like now?" "Oh, he didn't ever amount to much. He went off to college and that Is about the last good he ever did." "And to think what he Is doin' now.

Ad The Great Need. The Prince of Udine, head of the Italian commission, said at a lunch eon in New York : "The Germans need, above all things, a spiritual bath or cleansing. When I contemplate them I feel like the restaurateur. "A restaurateur in the Galleria in Mi lan was waited on by a tramp who wanted work. The restaurateur, be ing short-handed, agreed to take the tramp on. But, heavens, he was dirty. " 'I'll put you at the dish washing,' said the restaurateur, and then he took out a two-lira note. 'But, here, take this first, and go and get a bath.' "As the tramp, bowing and scraping, started off, the restaurateur called him back and said: " 'There may be some change. In that event, take another bath.' " A Wise Provision. The wlty journalist was conversing with a friend about raising carp In ponds for food. The friend remarked that Mich a food supply would not be much in demand here, but that the Germans liked curp. "Germans will eat anything," re marked the witty journalist, but im mediately qualified his remark. "That is, when they can get anything to tat."
