Barr is not only not dead but he was present and when his name was 'palled he announced in words that could not be mistaken as a voice from dead that he was very much alive and that like Mark Twain, the report of bis death was very much exaggerated.

Applications for admission may now be secured by writing to the superintendent, Dr. Chester A.

Marsh. The building program, almost completed, was begun in July of the past year. Three farm cottages have been erected and furnished for the care of 120 patients. Adult males of the better type as to physical and mental health will be the first admitted. During the coming biennium cottages for 264 more patients will be constructed.

The program is an extensive one, for when completed the institution will accommodate 4,000 patients. It is estimated that there are more than 30,000 epileptics In the state. All of these will not reach state In- but most of them need hos- jital treatment if they are to be prevented from deteriorating physically and mentally. In planning the Institution, the three great canons of architecture were kept constantly in mind: First, utility; second, stability; third, beau- The buildings are permanent struc- strictly fireproof, being made of concrete and of tapestry brick, with floors and slate roofs. The equipment is modern in every detail.

Solid walnut furniture Is now place. The kitchens are equipped with electric installations. Up-to-date medical equipment is be- ng provided for'the scientific treatment of the patients. The beginning of this much needed institution is one of the great features of the administration of Governor Fisher, who has given so much of his particular interest in the work. Due credit must be shown also to Mrs.

E. Grace McCauley, secretary of welfare, whose vision and initiative ma made the institution possible. Sight must not be lost also of the very effective aid rendered to her by various women's organizations of the state. Pennsylvania Is great in area, population and wealth. The people have a record of worthy accomplishment of which they are proud.

In this undertaking the state is prepared to take care of, in a proper way, some of its unfortunate people whose cares weigh so heavily. The aphorism that where -the unfortunate classes are best treated and cared for, there is to be found the highest culture In a people, has served to accentuate the desire in every person in every department of the state government to render the commonwealth's best service. It is common knowledge among physicians that injuries, damage done by chronic infections, and insult from the various kinds of mental stresses, serve as the causes of epilepsy, The body as a living organism resents any form of infringement upon its welfare. Epilepsy is one of the manifestations of this resentment. In the effort to escape the unfortunate condition, the epileptic, whether lie is conscious of it or not, labors hare until his higher brain centers are exhausted.

The fatigue is not deep enough to put out his life centers so his heart continues to beat, he breathes and he lives on. Neither are the brain involved deeply enough to affec the voluntary muscles. The patient drops unconscious anc his emotion goes on to expression in muscular activity unguided and uncoordinated in a convulsion. When ha bitual the condition is epilepsy. The treatment of this affliction is had, not only in correcting physica defects and chronic infections, but the patient must be helped to avoid strong emotional states of mind.

This is best done through occupa tional therapy. Conflicting notions weaken strong mental states. A mind occupied in pleasant activity canno go the epileptic way. Epilepsy is not hopeless as many be lieve. Under proper conditions al patients improve.
