ROYAL BAKINO POWDER CO., NEW YORK To Eton PuiciuVs- Intense interest is manifested in the novel scheme to stay the hands of nelf-destroyers nnd to render all possible aid to the despondent by the anti-suicide commission recent ly appointed by Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio. May or Jolinsc 11 says: "It is the grandest work ever at tempted here. The commission's primary object is to prevent suicide. Suicides and attempted suicides are not not always proof of insanity, though the fact of self-destruction always suggests it. I do not hesi tate to say that insane persons fre quently suicide but the deed does not necessarily indicate unbalanced mind. The increased number of such deaths recently must be considered along with the increase of popula tion in the strenuous efforts neces sary to maintain existence today. The foreign element, which is grow ing rapidly, must also be remem bered. Immigrants alter their ar rival become home sick when the rosy ideas of America brought with them fiom the old country, are dis appointed. "I think it is safe to say that 60 per cent, of suicides here belong to the foreign element. Alcohol ism is certainly the basis of a large percentage of insanity, but I should not connect it to that extent with suicide. Worry Irotu any cause whatever, and low nervous condi tion are chiefly responsible. "This commission will investi gate these conditions, and wherever possible will render such assistance as will make the victim of melan choly see the brighter side of life. Each of these men has had much experience in sociological work and is well fitted for this particular task." "Most suicides are caused by de spondency, but the primary cause of the despondency is what we should look into. If we can help only one unfortunate I consider it work well done," is the way oue member of the committee looks at the matter. "In my opinion present social conditions and lack of employment causes much of the despondency and dissatisfaction with one's lot in life which so often ends in suicide," was another's comment. "In the first nine months of this yeai eighty-six persons killed them selves in Cuyahoga County," said the third, who continued: "This is almost ten for each mouth. Alienists of this city say suicide is increasing. The need of some means to counteract this c n dition has been felt. We are will ing anri anxious to aid any one who is in the depths of despair and to whom life no longer seems worth living. If any unlortunate man, woman, boy or girl who is so dis couraged that life seems not worth living will communicate with us, the case will be taken up aud we will see what crui be done. How many suicides would be prevented if the sick, poor and despondent Ind friends to go to, a place to get relief? I dare say many. "Of the S6 suicides in the first nine months of IQ05 the one word 'despondency' is the keyword of all. Hard drinking, lack cf work, sick ness, domestic troubles, lives of shame, cause women to suicide. The records show that the latter cause is more frequent in the case of women. Women usually choose to end their lives with carbolic acid, men with pistols or knives." The question is a psychological and social one well worth careful study. Scrofula Is very often acquired, inousn generally inherited. Bad hygiene, fcul air, impure waier, are among its causes. it is called "the sou for tubercles,' and where it, h allowed to remain tubcrcu iosis or consumption is pretty sure to take root.
