SYSTEM 1(1 KEEPING BOOKS OF STATE

Every Cent Received or Paid Out Is Itemized by Expert Accountants. SHOW FOOD INCREASES Startling Advances Made in Past Four Years What Attendants Endure. (Palladium Hp-1.1) Indianapolis, Ind., Jun. 20. There probably la no private corporation In the state that employs a more exhaustive system of bookkeeping than that in vogue at the various state Inatltutlona. To the ordinary citizen who has been wont to look upon the management of these Instjtiitlons as a iirft berth, requiring no ability beyond the 'power to sign the payroll, the vol' umluoua reports made by the state Institutions' to the legislative committee would be a marvel. These reports apntaln absolutely every bit or Information concerning the ' institutions that exists. The location, history, growth and capacity of the in stitution are set forth in detail, the movement of every patient or Inmate Js traced, the detailed construction. and purposes of every building is giv en, often accompanied by blueprints; an itemized account of every cent received and spent is given, which in cludes everything from the hundreds of 'thousands received from the state treasurer to the ten cents received from the sale of three old brooms to ono, M. Harnett, and from the hundreds of thousands paid contractors to the cost of Trimo monkey wrenches; the methods or handling their funds, that is, tbeiy accounting and checking system is described in detail; their bank and insurance accounts are analyzed; the earnings of the institution from its gardens or labor are set forth: and in conclusion the medical and ethical side of the institution is discussed with the conclusion of authority. . These reports embrace . scores .of typewritten pages of figures and tables. One of the most exhaustive reports presented this session is that prepared and submitted by Dr, George F. Edenharter, medical superintendent of the Central hospital for the Insane, at Indianapolis. Among other items of common interest which the report contains is a table showing the Increased cost of food products during the past four years. The table was submitted in support of the hospital's request for an Increased maintenance fund, and it shows startling advances In the price of foodstuffs, even when purchased in large quantities and under contract. The report shows the Increase by years since 1906, and the percentages as follows: Advance in Foods. , Beef, A per cent; pork loins, 23.5 ' percent, hams 29 per cent; lard 6.9 per cenU butterlne. 6.9 per cent; eggs, 31.3 percent; potatoes, 2.2 per cent; flour, 25.8 per cent; meal, 19.5 per cent; beans, 38 per cent; hominy, 22.9 per cent: rice, 5.4 per cent; cheese, 11.8 per cent; milk, 12.6 per cent; coffee, 1.7 per cent;. Tea and evaporated peaches were the only commodities showing a decrease in that period, the former decreasing 6 per cent, and the peaches experiencing a slump of 6.7 per cent. But the state cannot ex pect its wards to live on tea and evaporated peaches. Dr. Edenharter's report also gives an Insight Into the lives of the employes of the insane hospitals, that makes one more fully appreciate tho service these attendants render the state and humanity. In making a plea for an appropriation of $53,000 with which to build a chapel and amusement hall, Dr. Edenharter relates the following: , Liberties of Attendants. "In connection wlih this matter It is only just and fair, that the feelings and rights of our employees be also considered. Under our rules they are compelled to remain constantly at the Institution day and night except a half day each week. The outside em ployes have their evenings, but are not permitted to leave the grounds. The attendants have outside privileges of an hour and a half each evening which they utilise on the main walks, in the grove or In the chapel. The WE DOFF OUR HATS. , To Our New Friends.

balance or their time, practically twenty-three hours a day, are closely associated with their patients." Think or it! Twenty-three hours a day in the company or people bereft or reason, and no opportunity for amusement or recreation. How long would you be content with such a situation? Surely these people are ent titled to have some place, and some things to divert their minds -from the harrowing experiences and sorrowTul scenes of the day." "There Is no calling or vocation in the world where a shifting of thought and environment, are more essential than that in which our employes are engaged. Persons who follow other forms or labor, with but fer exceptions, have at least their full evenings for amusement and recreation and when they retire for sleep have little to disturb their slumber. But how is it here?" "After an arduous day's work, with barely an hour for social converse or outdoor exercise the employes retire amidst the distressing cries of our unfortunate patients. Here are some that imagine that enemies are attempting to do them bodily harm and their appeals are piteous in the ' extreme. Here are others that are excited and attempt to obtain release by bat tering the door or breaking out the window . lights. Some others moan constantly, and others again call for their friends or 'curse their supposed enemies." Each Day a Grind. "The sleep of the employes is there by broken, rest is disturbed and finally the hour for the daily grind arrives and they take up their duties; unrefreshed, and, through no fault of their own, not fully prepared to do Justice to the service. They need recreation, social functions, amusement and sleep! Just as much at least as those The insane must be constantly under surveillance and our employes must therefore remain at the institution. Should It be cause for wonder then, that a "&hort experience, here leads them to resign from the service and seek fields that grant them more liberty?" It would not seem that any legislative committee would turn down a plea like that, yet such has been done for several sessions. The committee this year, however, pays heed to the appeal and recommends the erection of a chapel and amusement hall. At Local Theaters Peek's Bad Bey The large audiences which are everywhere enjoying the now "Peck's Bad Boy," speak well of the coming engagement or this popular comedy at the Gennett next Wednesday, matinee and night. Lew Herman as the Bad . Boy, is surrounded with an organization which works tinceasingly to provide amusement that never fails. to please. Anyone who has treasured up pleasant memories or his youth is sure to have it brought back again while witnessing "Peck's Bad Boy" in its new and improved condition, brighter, bigger and better than ever. For Gallery Gods P. G. Mac Lean asserts Jhat after he has asked the gallery gods to give some consideration to the people who have paid double the price of admission to enjoy a performance, that there Is only one thing to be done and that Is to close the gallery. Acting on that theory the gallery at the Gennett was locked last night and will be so again tonight when the MacLean company will play "The Transgressor.' a piece which demands absolute quiet on the part of both actors and audience for the thorough enjoyment of it. That the "No Gallery" made a hit last even ing was evidenced by the many re marks which were made by the people who for once had been unannoyed by the unnecessary noises above them. Box Office Opening At the box office of the Gennett theater tomorrow morning, seats will be placed on sale for the engagement of "Madame Sherry, Woods, Frazee and Lederer's great musical comedy furore, which will come here to the Gennett for an engagement of one night Tuesday. January 21. r Every Indication points to a record breaking demand for seats. Mail orders have been piling In since the first announcement waa mad that we are

At The Murray

to see this wonderfully successful musical production, and every visitor to the box office has made some inquiry regarding the engagement. It is really remarkable that local playgoers are to have such an early opportunity to witness this delightful production, as it usually requires two or three years for a New York success of such proportions to find Its way here. The big French musical comedy will be presented here Just as it was seen in New York and Chicago, with the remarkable New Amsterdam theater scenic production, with its special orchestra, all those entrancing melodies, and with a cast of musical comedy celebrities of stellar importance. At the Murray Bob Sperry opens the show this week at the Murray. Sperry is a monologist who is regarded on the circuit as the premier of actors who work "in one." His parodies and songs are the best ever heard here and at the performances yesterday convulsed the large audience with his mirth and patter. ' The Gray Trio score heavily. No act ever 'at the Murray has a more pleasing way than the Grays. Not only are the women good to look upon and know the value of sensible and beautiful gowns but the voices of the trio are above the average. Mile. Bernice and her Polar bears is the feature attraction. It is wonderful how this woman handles these bears; her only weapon being a small whip. These huge burly creatures are fine specimens of the Arctic regions and are well trained. Motion pictures open and cloae the performance. ' A Better Example. The Episcopal bishop of Liberia, In a recent letter from Monrovia, praised the shrewd wit of the ,west coast na tives. , "I addressed a school of native boys the other day," he wrote, "and. taking them on arithmetic, I tried to show them the impossibility of adding 'like to 'unlike and getting a total of like.' 'Now,' I said, 'let us take an example. Suppose we added four sheep to eight cows. Would that make twelve cows?' "A lad ns black and shining as a patent leather boot grinned and answered: " ' "'No, no. You cannot. make cows out of sheep, blsbopv. Four calves would be the best for that.' " Have Beautiful Hair; Dry Shampoo Method. The beauty editors of many of the prominent ladies' Journals are advo- : eating the use of the "dry shampoo" In preference to any and all methods for beautifying the hair. It is claimed that this method is superior to washing j the hair and creates a clean! lustrous, wavy head of hair in a short time. No matter how dry and liveless the hair, the following dry . shampoo will soon work wonders if regularly used: With 6 ounces cf powdered orris root, mix 2 ounces of antiseptic vilane powder. Keep in a tijrht Jar or box and at night apply a tablespoonful. distributing it through the hair with the fingers. In the morning use comb and brush to remove, and all excess oil. dirt, dandruff, etc., will be removed with it Men and women both use it with the utmost satisfaction.

TO PRIVATE HOMES

Dependents of State Receive Attention. Indianapolis, Jan. 19. Dependent children are to receive more attention from the board of state charities next two years. The board is recommended to receive $1500 more for maintaining the state agency than previously, a total of $13,500 for two years. About 1,600 children are now housed in state institutions and the board is determined to put them into private homes, where it has already "placed approximately 300, at the rate of from 200 to 250 a year. Amos W. Butler, secretary, says it costs counties about $125 for each child annually. To put them into private homes saves this expense and is better for the children. Breaking it by Degrees.
