SEIDEL DENIES ATTACKS MADE ON PENAL FARM

George E. Seldel of this city, a Republican member of the board of trustees of the Indiana Penal Farm, tn Putnam county, today refuted charges made in a Terre Haute newspaper, and reprinted in other newspapers throughout the state, that conditions which WW .... bave existed at the institution his ' winter have been almost intolerable. "The Terre Haute newspaper which has made these charges' has been knocking the state penal farm board since its organization and -1 . am not surprised over this latest attack," Mr, Selde! said. "The farm has plenty of mud, that is true; but what farm has not, this eason of the year. The charge that there is not enough heat in the dor mitory sheds to keep the seven hundred Inmates warm is ridiculous. The stoves being used until the heating plant is ready for service keep the buildings quite warm. The charge that the men are not given enough food is also nonsensical. ' Superintendent Talkington has in formed the board that conditions at the farm, at the present time are very , satisfactory and there is no reason why courts throughout the state should not continue to send prisoners to the farm. Complaints that have been made are, a a rule, by men who, at liberty, are not used to even the commonest necessities in their own homes but who expect to live like kings while living off the state." ISSUE CERTIFICATES Pupils in tha commercial departments are receiving "Certificates of Proficiency" in the typewriting department. The Underwood, company is issuing these certificates to high schools throughout t'ae country. Miss Fosler, instructor In this .lepartment, thinks this is a very good plan to raise the typewriting standard" in the school. An average of 40 net woris per minute for ten minutes must be written by the student. Among those who have received certificates are Caroline Smith, Robert Phillips, Elenore Smith, Mabel Knoph, Dave Hoover md Gertrude Grottendick.

DESCRIBES SMITH'S COLONY FARM

Winthro;) D. Lane, staff writer of the Survey, a weekly journal of sociology nd anthropology, describes the farm jjolony oftlie Eastern Indiana Hospital for the insane as follows: "Indiana has learned," he says, 'that she can not build congregate .institutions fast enough to take care of her insane. So she has changed her plans. She has decided to provide the tonic of farm life for all her insane who can profit by it. Dr. Samuel E. Smith, superintendent of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane at Richmond, Ind., has been urging this move for years. When the legislature of 1911 appropriated $75,000 for the purchase of such a colony. Governor Marshall and his advisers selected the Eastern hospital for the parent institution. Four hundred and fifty acres, two miles away from and out of sight of he institution lands, were bought and Jhe title taken late in 1913." When Mr. Lane visited the farm, several months ago, he found thirty patients of varying degrees of insanity leading the simple life. He de-"-'ribes them as living in small groups tS remodeled buildings on the farm. Wholesome Care for Insane. "By such slow, inexpensive beginnings," he writes, "this first colony for the insane is being started. To accommodate the first hundred patients, including all remodeling, stocking, etc., .00,000 will be expended. It would ost ,$150,000 for the number in the style? of architecture typical of the parent institution. More important still, -every improvement on this farm is, an investment; the state can sell the property for more than it cost, if need should arise. A group of modern hospital buildings is "not easily disposed of. "A congregate institution has a fixed capacity; a farm an elastic one. Two hundred would be a fair maximum for Wayne farms, but Dr. Smith thinks it could be made to accommodate 300 without great inconvenience. The number must be small enough to al v yy yv rv 41 Ij&J lVJ Ij&J O f

fUk ... ump -j IS - low work for all, for it is of the essence of such a colony that it shall be a hive -ef industry. Work is not an end in itselfr .it is a means of reestablishing sanity, or the nearest approach to sanity that a patient is capable of. Selects Special Patients. "While only carefully selected persons are now sent to Wayne farms, Dr. Smith thinks that nearly half of the 850 patients now in the Eastern hospital can be trained to profit by farm colony life. Those requiring constant medical treatment and special nursing must remain at the parent hospital. So also must those suffering from se-. rious mental disturbances and those physically unable to do farm work. Of the inmates of the average hospital 12 to 15 per cent can probably take advantage of farm colonies at once, without special preparation; others can be educated to the point of receiving benefit from them. Transference to Wayne farms has already become desirable in the eyes of the patients at Eastern hospital. It ia a promotion. It encourages to increased efforts at self-control. Similarly, to be taken back to the main institution is a step downward a patient who has once tasted the free, out-of-door life at the farm always wants to return."

Use Cocoa nut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shraDOOS ccntain too much alkali. This dries the scal; makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain multified cocoanut oil (which is Dure and en tirely greaseless). is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfula will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and saly thoroughly.- The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and H leaves it fine and silkly, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to lust everyone in fie family for months. Adv. 1 WANTED j Competent experienced i i Bookkeeper. 1 ig Answer care Postoffice Box M 8 341. City. jj v vv y

REVISE CONSTITUTION

OF HEALTH SOCIETY The constitution 'of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society la being revised by a committee composed of Secretary Melpolder and E. M. Haai and the new constitution will be sub mitted for ratification at the next meeting. One of the most important changes is a definite date each month for a regular meeting. The society has never had a meeting date but has been subject to call by the president. Secretary Melpolder went to Indianapolis today to make a report to the state association regarding the sale of red cross seals. A financial report will also be made including the annual reports of the last few years. The plans for the employment of a county public health nurse will also be placed before the officers of the state society. It is probable that financial aid can be secured from the state organization to help out in the campaign for a public health nurse in Wayne county. EARLY LIFE OF COUNTY Contributions on Pioneer Days Will Appear in This Column. In a late article on early taverns your correspondent failed to mention one kept by Daniel Sloan on the North side of Main street between Sixth and Seventh. In the early forties this was the principal tavern in the town. The line of coaches that carried passengers and mail was owned by a private company and Sloan's tavern became headquarters. I have the , impression that at one time the post office was in the bar room of this tavern, but as ladies were not in the !ablt of going to the post office in those days I can not speak from personal observation. Attached to the tavern was a large yard to accommodate the coaches and carriages of visitors. The yard extend ed to Sixth Btreet on the West and to the alley on the north. Mr. Sloan also furnished relays of horses for tne coaches. I remember taking supper there with a sleighing party from Centerville. Mr. Sloan was a genial host and very popular with the traveling public. DARKEN GRAY Gray Hair Changed to an Even Dark Shade by Q-Ban. Harmless No Dye.
