The Work of the Board. In this state, with an estimated population in 1914 of 1,238,000, the following institutions are maintained for the restraint and care of the 'de- linquent, defective and dependent classes; for Criminals and misdemeanants, (State Prison, State Reformatory 10 county jails). Juvenile offenders, (8chool for Boys and Industrial School for Girls). Young women offenders, (Hou of Good Shepherd and Florence Crit- tenton Mission). The insane, 15 (Two state hospitals, Hartford Retreat, 12 private asylums). Epileptics, 1 (colony for epileptics). The feeble-minded, 1 (School for TImbeciles). The deaf, 2 (American School and stic Oral school). The blind, 1 (Connecticut Institute for the Blind). and BILE AND BILIOUSHESS Coated tongue, mouth, indigestion, bitter taste headache, in lack latigue are effects of excessive secretion of bile. This condition iscalled biliousness and | nething | For this purpose | points directly to the need of s to regulate the liver.

In accordance with the provisions | of Section 2,862 of the General Stat- utes, regular visits of inspection have been made by two representatives of the board as often as once in three months to the State prison, the Con- necticut reformatory, the Connecticut School for Boys, the Industrial school for Girls, the hospitals for the insane at Middletown and orwich, and the I cclony for epileptics, and interviews | have been had with a number of the inmates in response to their requests. Vigits to other institutions included in | the preceding list.of 188 have been made at intervals, the inspection of almshouses being an important part | of the board’s work. i A general survey of the charitable and correctional institutions of the stite reveals a condition of reason- able excellence in equipment and man- agement. Certain institutions may be recommended as standing high among | their kind, while others lack many of the features desired to accomplish the best results and need the application | of a continued and vigorous stimulus ' {o bring them up to an acceptable standard. The visitation and supervision of nearly 1,400 children from the eight county temporary homes who have heen placed out in family homes or with relatives is one of the most im- portant of the board’s activities, An- other feature of.the board’s work that should be noted is the investiga- ticn of applications for licenses to d dependent children as required by chapter 62 of the Public Acts of 1511, Already sceventcen licenses have i been nted for this purpose and a | number of other applications have been kept under advisement until the { applicant should give proof that all | desired conditions are complied with. 19 | | Legislation The only and New Developments. new institution which was | authorized by an act of the general | assembly of 1913, viz, a state farm for inebriates, failed of establishment. When such an institution is esta- hed, it would be well if it were not limited to the care of inebriates but would include a department for the use of the state poor. A hospital section, also, is greatly needed for the care of infectious, incurable dis- eases—such as cancer and the like— which the general hospitals will not now receive and which are frequently ! found in almshouses under conditions distressing alike to the sufferers and to the other inmates. The efforts made to secure a re- | formatory for women offenders, which has been advocated for a num- ber of years, resulted in the passage of an act, No. 180 of the special laws of 1913, under which a cemmission of five persons was appointed by the governor to investigate the matter and to report its findings and recom- mendations to the next session of the general assembly. Another commis- sion appointed under an act of the legislature of 1913 was one of three persons authorized by special law No. 363 to investigate the sub- ject of convict labor in the penal in- stitutions of the state and to make its report in January, 1915. Two Notable Additions. Two notable additions to the list of Connecticut institutions were made during the biennial period under re- view by the opening of the Connecti- cut Reformatory at Cheshire in June, 1913, and the Colony for Epileptics at Mansfield Depot in May, 1914, both of which were mentioned in the board's last report as then under construc- tion. The reformatory provides an KIDNEY TROUBLE CAUSES INTENSE SUFFERING Sixteen years ago I was taken sick with Kidney trouble and suffered ter- ribly for three months. I did not work during this time and was mostly confined to the bed. After using other remedies I finally tried a bot- tle of Swamp-Root. I immediately began to feel better, and after using seven fifty.cent bottles, was entirely cured and have had no Kidney trou- ble since. I can truly say that I owe my good health to Swamp-Root. You may publish this letter for the benefit of other people afflicted as I was with the hope of bringing to their attention this most wonderful remedy. Yours very truly, HATTIE A.

The Colony for Epileptics, with its liimted initial ca- pacity of 80 patients, is already prov- ing its usefulness, but should receive substantial appropriations from the general assembly in order to pfovide sufficient accommodations for the many cases of this disease which are in great need of suitable institutional care and treatment. In the case of the School for Imbeciles, it is urgently hoped that the coming general as- sembly will accomplish the removal of the institution to a more accessi- ble location and will provide it with sufficient land and equipment to car- ry on the curative and preventive work that it should perform for this large and dangerous element in population. Considerable development may be noted during the period under review the state. New and extensive buildings have been added at the Bridgeport hospital, new city hospitals for tagious diseases have been con- structed in Hartford and New Haven, and alterations and improvements of more or less ‘-aportance have been made at the hospitals in a number of other places. The general condition of these benevolent throughout the state shows a high or- der of excellence in equipment, man- agement and the care of patients. Outlived Original Purpose, The care of dependent children in Connecticut offers one of the most difficult and at the same time one of the most hopeful flelds of activity in the state’'s charities. Tt is quite evi- dent that the eight county temporary Connecticut homes with their average population of about 1,000 inmates have long since outlived their original purpose as temporary shelters. There is reason to believe that the time has come when a careful survey should be made of the whole field of caring for dependent and neglected children in Connecticut, including not only the county temporary homes but also all private orphan asylums and caildren’s homes, child-caring and humane so- cieties, and any other agencies that may deal with this matter. For this purpose it is suggested that a com- mission be appointed by the governor to study the whole subject and to make report with their recommenda tions to the next general assembly. The foregoing statement in regard to dependent children should not be to the new St. Agnes’ Home for children in Hart- ford, which was opened for the recep- tion of inmates in September, 1914. It and children under flve years of age, and furnishes a much-needed addi- tion to the child-caring institutions of the state, because, is well- known, the county temporery homes and most of the orphan a ylums do as our | con- institutions | is designed for the care of infants i not receive children under four years almshouse has of age.

Approximately sixty-five of the in- stitutions for the care of delinquent, defective and dependent persons in Connecticut mentioned at the begin- ning of this report, that is, practically | all except the almshouses and private institutions: for the care of children, aged persons, and menta] diseases, re- i ceive financial aid from the state | treasury. In behalf of these institu- | tions and certain other allied agencies, | the appended tables show that there | Was expended by the state in the | fiscal years 1913 a net total of $1,- 998,862.71, of which §1,434,481.48 was devoted to maintenance, super- | vision, etc., and $564,381.23 was ex- | pended for land, buildings, and equip- |ment. In the fiscal vear 1914, the jcost to the state was $1,946,517.92, of which $1,690,970.77 was for main- ,tenance and supervision, and $§ 547.15 was for buildings and perma- [nent improvements. As compared | with the expenditures for similar | purposes for a number of years past, | the amounts devoted to maintenance and supervision snow a steady in- | crease, The amounts expended buildings, etc., vary, however, from | vear to year, according to the appro- | priations granted by successive legis- llalures in response to the different de- | mands made upon them. In addition to this expense to the state, the cost | to the towns for the support and re- ’llef of dependents and defectives, for —_————— KEEP LIVER AND BOWELS REGULAR WITH CASCARETS | - S— | No. More Headache, Bad Colds, Stomach and Con- stipation. | { 1 Sour | Get a 10-cent box now. | No odds how bad your liver, stom- ‘ach or bowels; how much your head aches, how miserable and uncomfort- able you are from constipation, in- | digestion, biliousness and sluggish bowels—you always get the | results with Cascarets. 1 Don’t let your stomach, | bowels make you miserable.
