For Past Eight Months it Cost Over
$200,000 to Properly Care for
the Patients Now in the
Asylum.
Atlanta, June 17.—According to the
report of the board of trustees of
the state sanitarium, which has just
L’ceu issued, there are 2,716 lunatics
in ihe institution, and the cost of
maintenance for the past eight months
has been $202,122,87.
Among ether things the report says:
“Your attention is earnestly direct
ed to the urgent necessity of provid
ing us with means for accomplishing
the complete isolation of patients af-
.acted with tuberculosis. Particular
ly is this called for the distressing con
dition existng among our negro pa
tients, who are peculiarly subject to
this dread disease. Of the deaths oc
curring among our patients during the
eight months covered by this report,,
30.05 per cent of them can be attrib
uted to this cause, and this percentage
is steadily increasing. Modern science
has demonstrated the extremely in
fectious nature of this disease, and
the necessity for completely isolating
patients of this class if a spread of
it would be avo'dej. This we cannot
dScomiplish in our present buildings.

enough to permit us to make such

must be made for it!
"One case of smallpox has been
brought inot the Institution since om
last report, but ihe prompt preventa
tive steps taken by the superintendent
prevented any spread of the disease.
“Our last report, dated Sept. 1, 1902,
showed 2,675 patients on hand, with
390 applicants awaiting tdmission. To
day we have 2,716 patients on hand
with 437 applicants awaiting admis
sion. We have received during the
years 462 patients ana have dischargeu
or lost by death and elopement 421,
leaving 41 more patients on hand than
at the close of the last year. Not
withstanding the largp number re
ceived during the year tirere are 4i
more applications oil hand now than
last year. In our last report we ask

•"Hie great bulk of the insane in

for physical labor. The majority are

proper limitations, such of our patients

laundry, sewing room, work shop anu

ger a Storekeeper.

of Miss Bessie Stewart's storekeep
ing was brought to a close here to

the only daughter of United States
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who was
at one time a millionaire, but lost a
considerable portion of his fortune on
account of the low price of silver.
Miss Stewart was married when very
young to Lieut. Hooker, of the navy,,
but secured a divorce, She got per
mission to resume her maiden name.
For sevepal seasons she conducted
a woman’s furnishing store and so
ciety patronized Miss Stewart but not
enough to enable her to pay expen
ses. The business went from bad to
woise and although not pressed for
rent decided to lei the store go.

THE DUSTY MILLER.

Most millers arc bitter enemies of
Grape-Nuts for business reasons, fur
Grape-Nuts food is largely replacing
while bread for Grape-Nuts contains
the whole of the health giving grains
while the pate-ut white flour in univer
sal use today is made with the most,
ncalihful part of the w:uat left out
A miller of Newark, Ohio who bus
studied the subject, says of Grape-
Nuts. ,
"i began using the food once a day,
then twice a day and for the last six
months three limes a day and I eon
.ideiilly affirm that i have re
ceived more real substantial benefit
from the use of Grape-Nuls than from

.My trouble was indigestion and kidm-v
uiccase.
