How It Provided a Great Need In a
Big Public Department.
Congressman Bennett, who learned
at a meeting Of the welfare depart
ment of the National Civic federation
Of the emergency hospitals installed in
many factories, introduced a resolu-
ton Of inquiry in the house Of repre-
sentatlves with reference to facilities
In government buildings in the city Of
Washington for administering first aid
to employees. President Roosevelt i'm.
mediately asked for reports from
the various departments, and it was
found that such provision was made Il
only one.
An employee of the government, a
composition in the department of pub
lie printing, whose sympathy was stir
red by the sight Of employees lying on
the floor waiting the arrival of an am
bulance for the purpose Of carrying
them to a hospital, had fitted up
small room in which to care for such
employees. AS there was no appropria-
ton for supplies, he personally paid
for drugs, surgical dressings, band
ages and other necessities.
The public printer reported to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the arrangement
had been very beneficial to the en-
ployees, as some Of the cases were
very urgent and need immediate at
tention, that 1880 cases have been
treated since this emergency room has
been installed and that previously 1t
was necessary to send out for a physi-
clan, and If he were not at home the
employee was left lying on the floor of
the workroom or toilet room suffering
until one could be located.-National
Civic Federation Review.

We did ''Tie to a Good Brand - The goods under this brand
are put up and guarantee ed in every respect by the we'll known

goods the dealers who have handled them have catered very
successfully to the better class Of trade. Every piece Of

all looking for good goods, right prices and fair treatment,
and that is the basis, and no other, upon viii CHI we rely for
