Many people often wonder why it is necessary to bring action in the i courts in order to have a man confined in jail ou an insanity charge. This results on account of the law which I provides that no citizen shall be de- : prived of his liberty without a cause I being made out against him. It is ■ impossible to confine a man in jail ; and keep him from enjoying his lib- ! erty without bringing action against him through the courts. Again has the old adage been veriI tied that to get a change of clime all that is necessary is to remain right here in Indiana. The week started off with the thermometer showing several degrees below zero but yesterday and today one could walk about the streets in comfort without an overcoat and all the gutters were full of water from the melting snow. This may account for the many colds and eases of lung trouble the physicians are coping with I at present.
