Chicago, Jan. 24. Thousands of
persons are insane in hospitals and
sanntarlumtf, and many others are
walking the stroets on the verge of
Insanity because of loss of sleep, ac
cording to Dr. Elmer S. Pettljobn, n
specialist on nervous diseases, who
spoke nt the Reformed Episcopal
church before several hundred fol
lowers of Bishop Fallows and "Chris
tian Psychology."
Twelve yoars experience In sani
tariums at Kankakee has taught him
that most Incurable raving maniacs
aro "night owls," sleeping only five
soes new taxpayers added to our pop
ulation. This prooose will soon not
only greatly ineroaso tho woalth of
our county, but relatively deoroaso
tho rate of taxation on all proporty.
It ie the logioal solution of most of
our problems, to get moro peoplo In
to our country. Tho Wlllamotto val
ley needs ten times the prosent pop
ulation, and many of tho counties,
with this important fact in view, aro
lending aid to the promotion work
all along (he line. Anyone could not
but be Irupressod with tho good work
being done by visiting tho Board of
Trade headquarters occasionally, as
tbore colonists and new-comers can
be met from all parts of America,
most of whom are casting about for
a new home. During tho past few
days the following named havo regis-,
