No standard price for medical services
is possible, according to the argument Of
DR.. Heffenger. The fee evolves with the
evolution of the pocketbook. 1t is claimed
tha one-third Of New York City practice
is charity, and much Of that illegitimate.
Those short-sighted persons who object
to a sliding scale do not realize the ma
ture of professional services. There was
a mother who objected to a metropolitan
surgeons charge of $1,000 for removing
her sons appendix, and wanted to pay
only 5000, but the surgeon had witnesses
to prove that the filial appendix was
worth the price. and he received the full
amount. The mother, perhaps with char
acteristic feminine lack OF logic, failed
to see the connection between a fat bank
account and plethoric appendix, and hat
the removal of one should naturally re-
suit in the reduction of the other. From
anothe err point of view. this appendix had
been distended with Rialto Holsters and
other costly foods, instead OF corned beef
and cabbage, and it was worth something
to restore the young man to an exalted
digestive career.

TOM l.. JoHNsoN's PLAN LOST BY
MAJORITY OF $40 IN REFEREN-
DUN OF $4,000 6ALLoTs-PooR
SERVICE

CLEVELAND. Oct. 23.-No three
cent fares for Cleveland.
BY a majority o. $40 out Of a total
referendum vote Of $4,000. the fran
chise whereby the Municipal Traction
Co. is operating the local street rail
way lines on three-cent fare basis,
Was sent down 10 defeat.
The returns OF a single precinct still
are missing. but the result will be un.
changed.
The premature celebration started
by the adherents OF the "three-fer"
plan was stopped with brutal sudden
ness when the returns began to show
the beginning Of the end.
May Renew Old Strife
The defeat Of the franchise may
mean that the railway property will
revert, TO its original owners and that
the old rate OF fare strife which lasted
seven years will be renewed. The
only alternative will be for the city
council at once to grant a new fran.
chise, which Will save the property TO
The vote came as the climax TO the
general street railway contest which
has been waged here for years, with
three-cent fare and ultimate municipal
ownership AS the goal OF the city ad-
ministration. This was constantly op
posed by the old Cleveland Electric
Railway CO., which had been charg-
ing five-cent fare. During the prog
ress OF the strife new company. the
Forest City Railway Co. fostered by
the city. began the operation of cars
over few competing lines on a three
cent fare basis.
The Settlement.
The settlement finally came under
an agreement TO consolidate the two
companies and lease the property To
an operating company, the Municipal,
Traction company. which agreed to
make the general fare within the city
of Cleveland three cents. Accordingly
new company, the Cleveland Rail
way company, was organized 10 take
over the consolidated properties.
Under the agreement 25-year
franchise was granted to the Cleve-
land Railway company. Then the
property and franchise was leased to
the Municipal Traction company, cor
SO years upon the condition that the
operating company protect the prop
erty and pay rental equal to per
cent dividend upon the stock OF the
Cleveland Railway company. a $780,
000. 900 corporation. II has been dur
ing only the past three months that
the operating company has had sur
plus.
Cut Down Expenses.
To place the property upon a pay
ing basis at the lower rate Of fare
the aerxice- was greatly -eaFtailed and
this month the motormen and conduct
ors declared a strike because the Nun
icipal Traction company did not carry
out contract the men had with the
old Cleveland Electric railway Co.
for an increase ip>wages.
When the striking car men found
that they were losing In the fight they
decided they would compel considera-
ton from the new company by taking
advantage of the state initiative and
law and call for q vote
upon the new franchise. The strike
was dropped and the former employees

endum.

CHOOSE LINGERIE WITH CARE.

This idea that any old kind of un-
derwear will do for thin girls is prepos-
terous." said a good dressmaker TO one
Of her mo hips" patrons.
THE thin woman must choose even
her underwear with care, And this
means above all things that she must
wear a well-ftting corset She should
be fitted with the same care shown for
a stout figure, but It will cost her much
less. / have in mind at this moment "a
woman who wears good clothes, but, be-
ing thin, she thinks that any corset will
do for her. She wears a narrow girdle
which does not fit snugly under the bust
or over the hips, and consequently shows
through every frOck she dons.'
Do not depend upon your corsets for
fullness, dear lady of straight lines and
angles Look to the dainty lingerie for
such fullness as you will need beneath
dress and wrap The stout woman must
have all lingerie made on a yoke, and
fitted as carefully as her outside gown.
The thin woman viii be wise if she does
not attempt skin-tight princess and tail
osed effects, but leans to shirrings, gath
ers, and full plaits in her dresses. This
means that she can wear corset covers
befrilled across the front, lace and en-
BrOidery In billOwy fiounces. and all lin
gerie over the hips may be finely gath
cred or laid in plaits, instead of being
fitted in yoke form, but whatever she has.
let it fit.
