COMPULSORY INSURANCE.

How 1t Works Out i'm Practice With
Working People.
From 1885 to 1909 the sum of $780,
100000 was expended by the various
insurance systems in Germany for the
restoration of the health of working
men and their families. One-third OF
this sum was paid in by the employ
ers. There is no doubt, says Vice
Consul Schlemmer of Mannheim, that
it would have cost double If the men
had been compelled to pay everything
out of their own pockets, the moder-
ate medical charges now being regu-
lated by these insurance laws. AS a
matter of fact people would not other
wise be able to spend so much money
for medical treatment, and great
many would perish or be permanently
disabled for lack of proper treatment:
and the disabled ones would remain.
permanent burden on the commun-
ity 1t also appears that physical and
intellectual conditions of the laboring
classes generally have been greatly
improved by this protective insurance
system, as evidenced by the reduction
of mortality at industrial centers,
which now is only 81 per 1000 inhabi-
tants, again 271a before the law took
effect. Although food products are
much higher in price than formerly,
consumption has increased in quantity
SIX per cent per capital, showing that
the buying power of the people has
been greatly increased through the in
surance funds and higher wages.

wonderfully short time he fattened

That showed me something worth

Every minute brought the rapid
yacht nearer to the mountaia, and
after an hour or so Captain Glover
raised the glass again to take another

The same day he rescued Dona

In due time the yacht arrived at
