The Hchool savings plan operated by

238 schools. Lawler's report covering
the bsnk'a activities for the 39 school

The Bank of Italy and the govern

school savings work throughout 1920,
with every prospect of Increasing the
number of pupils purchasing stamps,
and thereby the total »nies. Most of

Dr. B. H. Jackson'■ Report to
1919 Legislature Covered
Same Ground as Made la
Beoent Statement.
The recent announcement and as
sertion by J. K. White, state commis
sioner of publto welfare, that at least
10 per cent of the Inmates of the state
Insane asylum at Black foot are not In
sane, but have been cent there to help
counties to "get rid of them" as pos
slid« county charges has brought to
light tho fact that the same condition
was reported to the state legislature
only last winter by Dr. R. N. Jackson,
former superintendent of the asylum
White's statement of the condition
has brought about a statewide Inter
eat In the situation, and excarpta from
the report by Dr. Jackson will be of
Interest on the matter.
Jackson's report said In part;
AGED INMATES ILL.
"Bo long aa the different counties
feel at liberty to send all their feeble
old people to ua, just because they are
a care, regardless of whether they are
a 'danger to life, health or property,'
we must count on a good many deaths.
For instance, a paralyzed, absolutely
helpless old man sent here, the papers
say, for senile dementia, the duration
of which was put at one day, aald to
he dangerous to be nt large. Careful
examination and observation day after
day failed to find any evidence of In
sanity. lie died In three weeks.
"A man of 90 years lived eleven
days; another, 83, lived one week;
woman weighing IB pounds lay abed
three weeks and died; another, 70
years old, lived ten days. Many such
cases come to us. Eastern ntntos care
for such cases In their poor houses If
families are unable to care for them.
BUILDING CROWDED.
"We do not object to caring for any
kind of cases, even the most helpless,
for we have plenty of them, but this Is
an Insane asylum nnd we cannot, care
for the legitimately committed pa
tients as well, with six, eight and even
us high as 20, In a room, as If there
were less. Our beds set one foot apart
with extras In the day halls and on the
piazzas,
"Another matter; We have many
feeble-minded and epileptic patients,
whom the law says shall not come
here; but we have been-obliged to take
them for humanitarian reasons,
there was no other place for them. The
state now has an Institution open for
such cases and courts should dlscriml
nats nnd send such cases (here.
ROOM NEEDED.
"Proper care In selecting cases for
this asylum will enable us to care for
the Insane for several yeare to come
with little additional buildings. As ut
present conducted we sre In urgent

MU* Oantril Declares Tanlao Is
Best Medicine Sha Bver
Heard Of.
T am Just simply delighted over
my wonderful Improvement slnoe I be
gan taking Tanlac," waa the enthusi
astic statement made the other day by
Miss Clara Louise Cantrll to the Tan
lac representative In Los Angeles. Miss
Cantrll teaches music and lives at 8406
Elm £t„ Los Angslss, Cal.
Continuing she said; "For as long
as I can remember my kidneys trou
bled me and I rarely ever got a good
night's sleep or rest. 1 lost my appe
tite and what little I did manage to
force down would ferment on my stom
ach and causa gas to form so bad that
my heart would palpitate terribly, and
at times 1 came very near fainting. I
fell off In weight from 180 pounds to
(8 and was so nervous and weak that
I just had to give up my work.
"M edict P4W and treatments didn't do
me one particle of good and I was
about to lose all faith In medicine. A
friend of mine kept on Insisting So
much that 1 take Tanlac that I con
sented to give It a trial more to please
her than for the good I expected It
to do me. But today I am certainly
thankful to my friend for It has been
nothing short of remarkable the way
Tanlac has helped me. My appetite
cume right back and now I can eat
just anythin« I want and digest It per
fectly. My kidneys don't give me any
trouble, and 1 can sleep all night long
as sound as a child. I have gained In
weight and etrength so much that I
don't feel at all Ilka the same woman
and I am so happy that I don't hesi
tate tn say that Tanlac Is the very best
medicine I have ever heard of."

need of additional room."
On page 47 of the report under
"Causes of Admission" from January 1,
1918, to November 1, 1918, Jackson In
cludes four errors which he explains us
follow»:
"Error (not Insane):
BOY IS VICTIM.
"Of the error», one man stayed over
night, one stayed one ilay, one stayed
two days; one, a boy of 18, went from
the farm to town, fell In with two who
got him drunk and left him with the
partly filled bottle In Ills pocket. He
was arrested, served for having whisky
in his pocket, sent here, and we sent
him home. His first offense, because
being gullible, and he is started In life
with an unjust record of having been _
committed as Insune. The fourth one ss
stayed three days. All ha va been out|s—
several mouths with good records. SS
"While I was superintendent I visited -s:
nearby probate judges and doctors and .SB
urged upon them the fact that tbeyjSg
were sending us people that did not be- [SB
long there. Those farther away I wrote ' BBS
to and followed that up with this re-|SE
port. 1 am sorry to say such appeals ]3S
had but little effect and for juat oneiSS
reason; whon they were sent to the In - IBS
sane asylum the state assumed the : —
care of them. If they were kept at SS
home the county would have to do it,"
says Dr. Jackson. jES
"Eastern states charge to eadh.S:
county the care of the patients theyISS
send to their asylums. The result Is SSS
that patients are not sent there that] SB
are not Insane, and even the Insane ;3S
patients' resources are looked Into ss
carefully and their friends, or their
estate pay the bills. If possible. ss
RAPS PRESENT PLAN. |S
"Under our present system the pro- l|x
bate judge apparently thlnke he stands is
In with the voters of the oeunty by —>
passing this on to the care of the state, ss
thus relieving the county of that ex- SS
pense. The offenses In his particular ss
were so aggravating that I Anally stood SS
suit to see If the abuse could not be —:
stopped. The sheriff of Twin Falls ^S
county called me up one day and said —
he hud n male patient for me that Pro- ^S
bale Judge Duval had committed, tell
lug me that It would take two at- |SS
tendants to handle him. ss
"I sent an attendant and told him is
to Investigate the case. He might need IS
two attendants to care for the patient —
because he was so violent, and It might SS
be that he was so helpless that It would g—
require two to handle him, and that SS
if he was a bed-ridden patient not to SS
bring him, as we had a rule at the SS
Institution against taking bad-ridden ^5
patients. The attendant, who had had SI
years of experience in Insane work, SS
called me up after reaching Twin Falls, SE
to say that lie had talked with the —•
man quite awhile and ha could And 2.
no evidence of insanity, but that he ;
was a paralytic laying halplaa* upon
a stretcher.
HAD PARALYSIS.
''He had suffered a stroke Of pa
ralysis while going to Twin Fqlls on
the train, and he was taken from the
train to the county physician's office.
The county physicien prescribed for
him and sent him out to tbo poor farm
for care. That night he suffered a
great deal of pain and yelled for re
lief. The next day the matron.of the
farm turned him ever to the probate
Judge, claiming ha waa Insane, and ho
waa committed to this asylum. I told
tho attendant not to bring him and
later the sheriff mandamuaaed me be
fore Judge Babcock, who compelled me
to take this patient. I went to Twin
Falle and examined the man carefully,
and decided to stand suit.
. COURT ISSUES ORDER. !
"In Judge Babcock's court I testified '
that he was not Insane Dr. Pika. !
former superintendent of the asylum J
here, testified that he waa not a fit sub- s
Ject for the asylum. The county phy
sician who declared him tnoane ad- >g
mltted ha know nothing of Insanity nnd 9
yet Judge Babcock compelled me to
taka this man.
'T explained the situation to the tour i|
attendants on that ward and »eked
them to watch him carefully and see If
