        Lake. - The poorhouse is located in the township of Chase.  The
     condition of the house and other buildings is good.  Have no
     facilities for bathing.  The buildings are warmed by stoves and ven-
     tilated by windows and doors.  The paupers are well treated and cared
     for.  They have good, wholesome food and comfortable clothing.  The
     sick are well cared for, and extra nurses are furnished when neces-
     sary.  We have one cell for the accommodation of insane in a building
     apart from the county house.  Children are sent to the district
     school.  We have three feeble minded children who have been returned
     from the State School at Coldwater.
