A LITTLE LAND 

 AND A LIVING 



for the demented is being carefully solved. If 

 the excitement, speculation, fear and depression 

 of modern city life induce insanity, as they un- 

 doubtedly do, it is reasonable to expect that a re- 

 turn to healthful, normal conditions of living 

 getting back to the land upon which man depends 

 for everything will do much to effect a cure.* 



* There is a general impression that farmer's wives are es- 

 pecially subject to insanity. This may sometimes occur from 

 loneliness and drudgery, but a somewhat superficial investigation 

 of Massachusetts and Iowa statistics showed that they are less 

 subject to insanity than factory hands.
