Many make use of the word “size” in speaking of wearing apparel without fully understanding the true significance of the word.

The total number is 3,700; 778 of them are at home or living with their friends, and a large number are iu county poor asylums. Many ot those iu the county poor asylums are incurable, but most of them need the protection of the State institutions. It is thought that the insane hospitals are too small. Their capacity should be increased rather than new hospitals erected. It Is estimated that from 2*> to 30 per ceut can be added to the capacity of the hospitals at a per capita expense not to exaeed#one-tliird of the per capita cost of the hospital as; originally bnilt. The state has spent about $1,200 in Us hospitals for every patient, while the capacity could be increased at a cost of about $400 a patient. i
