A clean bill of health was given the Dunning asylum for the insane by the special committee appointed to, inves­ tigate charges of mistreatment of .pa­ tients at the institution. The committee declared that it was unable to blame any of the attendants for the deaths in any of the cases in which complaints had been made, and that no malice or brutality could be found in the treatment of the patients by any of the attendants. The report sets forth that the com­ mission has under consideration rec­ ommendations for the establishment ol a psychopathic ward at the rounty hospital, as one means of improving conditions at Dunning. It is also stated that recommendations may be made later for an increase of the force of physicians, nurses, and at­ tendant* at the insane asylum. "The difficulty of preventing acci-1 dents may be appreciated whim it is remembered that a large portion of the 2,000 insane patients are paretic, excitable, and often violent," says the committee in its report. "Of the cases investigated six were of this nature. Through expert medical authority the commission is informed that in cases of paretic dementia the entire nutri­ tion of the body is affected, the bones are easly broken, the arteries easly ruptured, the skin is easily bruised and discolored and susceptible to sores that are difficult or impossible to heal. "We recognize the fact that the con­ ditions at Dunning are not ideal, but we believe that the officials there are doing the best they caa cumstanfees." " " * Illinois Takes High Stock Rank. That Illinois is able to hold its own with Scotland in the breeding of Clydesdale draft horses and produce a horse showing all the virtues cred­ ited only to imported animals was demonstrated at the horse show of the International Live Stock exposi­ tion at Chicago. The demonstration was made when Angus; a giant Illinois bred Clydesdale, appeared with Drew I and Robbie, international championB, in Morris & Co.'s entry in the class for J draft horses displayed three abreast, i Drew and Robbie were well known j to spectators and breeding experts j who watched the showing, but Angus j was a stranger. But an official an­ nouncement was not needed to in- , form expert horsemen the teammate of Drew and Robbie was the equal of any Clydesdale that appeared in the arena. So, when his teammates left the ring with added blue ribbons floating from their manes, Angus also carried the same badge of merit Safety of Labor Makes Problem. Interest among the laboring men of the state is turning to the report of the commission created by the liust general assembly to investigate, re­ port upon and recommend legislation designed to increase the safety of in­ dustrial workers in Illinois. An Illi­ nois section of the American Associa­ tion for Labor Legislation has been formed and this organization is ex­ pected to work with the state commis­ sion in determining its conclusions.

Attorney General Stead imwt decMe whether members of the general as­ sembly shall receive their pay at the opening of the session, or wait until the latter part of 1909. State Auditor McCullough has asked for an opinion on the statute which provides that as­ semblymen shall receive $2,000 "an­ nually." The construction placed on similar acts is that "annually" means the close of the year. Should the same opinion be furnished the state auditor the members of the legisla­ ture will not rscolvc their pay uutil the close of the coming year. The act fixing the salary of mem­ bers of the legislature at $2,000 was passed at the last session, and gives an increase of $1,000.

We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had a clear face.
