Electricity and the
Medical Profession

DIR. v. j. Capron returned from
Seattle Wednesday where he attend
ed meeting of the King county
Medical Society and reports some
very interesting papers and discus
sions. He says the tendency of the
medical profession at present is to
depend less on drugs in the treat
ment of disease and to depend more
on hygiene, diet, pure air, exercise
or rest, massage and electrical treat
ment. In the use of electricity
great advances have been made.
The x-ray is used to diagnose any
fracture, dislocation or tumor OF
the bones, as well as to determine
any change in the outline or position
of the heart, liver or other organs.
The x-ray is also used for treating
various forms of skin diseases. The
lucodescent rays, the highfrequency
currents, the sinusoidal rays all have
their special uses. The lucodescent
rays are especially useful in killing
bacteria in the skin and mucous
membranes as catarrh, bronchitis
etc. and dilate or contract the capil-
laries, thereby causing or relieving
congestion. They are used in the
treatment of rheumatism, gout, neu-
ralgias, inflammations etc. The pow
erful effect vf these currents can
readily be seen, in case the x-ray is
used too long. The tissue cells are
killed without any pain and fright
full ulcers and sluffing will result.
Electricity seems destined in the fu-
ture to indeed be our servant.

Rig Graft Under Guise ]
of Labor Protection
SPECIAL Correspondence

Seattle. Feb. 8: Owners Of news
paper plants and printing shops II
the State of Washington have just
awakened to the fact that their busl.
ness is extra hazardous and that they
are brought within the workings OF
the proposed employees compensation
bill now before the state legislature,
Editors, reporters and printers are
not often killed or mangled at their
work; perhaps some folks think not
often enough. Yet the bill propos-
ed provides that they must all con-
tribute heavily to the state fund.
To the fund for the "first aid OF
injured persons" every proprietor
of printing establishment must
pay 2 cents day for each employe,
and each of these employees must al
so pay 2 cents day. making total
of cents daily. In addition to this
every employing printer must pay
one and one half per cent of the
total amount of his pay roll into the
states accident fund.-. There is
no distinction as to the character of
the work done by employees. The
news and business office men are
Jumped in with the machine and
press men.
And the burdens imposed by the
proposed bill fall as lightly on the
printing business as on any. The A
cents a day to the first aid is to be
drawn from every kind of business
in which labor is employed. The
percentage of the total pay-rolls
runs from one and one half per cent
to 10 per cent 1t has been estimat-
ed that the first aid fund alone will
yearly amount to $4,000, 900, while
the accident fund will average be-
tween SIS, 100000 and S6.000.000 a
year.
In other words practically every
productive industry in the state will
be so taxed that $7,000,00O to $3.-
100000 will be taken annually out
of industrial activity and placed ID
the hands of a commission appointed
through political influence and hold.
ing Office at the pleasure of a polit-
ical machine. .,s5
Hundreds M manufacturers in all
parts of thu state have never had an
accident in their plants; have never
been called upon to pay any sort OF
damages for injury to employees.
Careful investigation among all the
manufacturers and others whose en-
ployes are liable to personal risk,
shows that less then $500, 900 is now
paid as premiums to the liability
companies and this covers all injur-
les and expenses of repairs.
Hundreds of concerns find it un-
necessary to carry even this form OF
protection as their operation invol.
yes no risk of any kind. Yet all are
called by the new bill to contribute
to the immense state fund to be
created.
The bill so directly affects every
line of industry that it deserves
greater attention than has been Civ.
en- it by these interests. The rates
taxed are absurdly arranged: Road
making takes 5 per cent rate, while
coal mining is fixed at only 3; laying
asphalt paving is fixed at per cent
but the dangers in saw-mill are
considered worth but two and half
Yet carpenter work outside saw
mill is rated at 8 and half anc
house-moving goes up to and {
half. These inconsistencies show
that insufficient time has been taker
in preparing the schedules and thai
no sort of justice prevails in the
comparative rates.

Record Of a WhatC0m
County Jersey Herd

Mr.. B. C. Crabtree, Of Lynden,
one of the most successful dairymen
in Whatcom county, has 43 head Of
thoroughbred Jerseys, every one
eligible to registry. He kept a re-
cord last year Of the milk production,
average test and income from four
teen cows. and also the feeding cost.
The tests ranged from 4.8 to 6.8, the
milk production from 1927 pounds
to 6,968 pounds, and the income
from butter fat from $87.O6 to
$139.90. Adding the value Of the
cream and milk used at his home
and Of the milk fed to calves, he
figured the average income Of the
herd, per COW, at $128.19 exclusive
of the calves upon whcih he fixed an
average value Of $62.5O. The aver
age cost Of feed per COW was figur-
ed at S66.25, made up as follows:
Straw, one ton S 800
Hay, 1900 lbs. 1900
Silage, 5000 lbs. 1000
Pasture 8.25
Roots, one ton 500
Corn roughage 800
Feed. bran, shorts and oats $500
Total $66.25
The total average net income per
COW is given at $124.44.
Mr.. Crabtree says that 20 acres
of pasture fed 80 head of cattle
during the summer. He did not
feed anything else, but in that he
believes now he was mistaken and
another summer he will feed his
milk cows besides what they get in
the pasture. He says that he has
not gotten the best possible results
from his herd and that he is just
beginning to weed out the less
valuable cows and breed up for bet
ter milk production.

ChemehueVis Gold
 Mountain Mining Go.

Jack Simpson and G. Groescup, who have been operating the mines of the Chemehuevis Gold Mountain Mining company. situated in the Chemehuevis mountains, south of Franconia, have just made a successful run of the little mill on ores from some of the proper ties of the company. According to an affidavit made by the men the orc yield ed in free gold in the battery and plates an average of over 48s to the ton. This Is said to be about fifty per cent of the values contained in the ores. The boys ar quite enthusiastic over the showing in the mines and believe the company has a group of excellent mining claims. Lack of water at the mines retards milling operations. but the men believe enough can be obtain ed by conserving flood waters to keep the mill running a large past of the time, while later the mines will be producers of a large volume of water, as shown hy other developed properties in qhe distr ct.

TAKE A STITCH IN TIME.

The thing most needed now for the
conservation of values in the future
fruit crops in Yakima valley, in the
opinion of one of the best informed
and most progressive of the growers in
Yakima valley, is ways and means for
handling the by-products that the
loss from waste may be reduced to the
minimum. "This valley should never
market but two classes of goods" said
the observer, 1.-The first-class quality
fruit for which we have built a repu
tation, and the products of canneries
and preserving factories who will also
cater to the quality brand in what
they send out to the market"
Here is a suggestion that will bear
careful analysis, and will be found
to ring true when the facts are OBJ
tanned. 1t is estimated from con-
sentative sources that the normal
fruit crop of the valley will approx
mate now 5000 carloads. With the
quality" fruit sent to market there
will still be several hundred carloads
of Gull fruit that must be utilized or
given over to total waste. In the past
the waste has been very heavy. Fruit
has rotted on the trees and on the
ground that might have been con-
verted into a understandable product If
there had been some cannery or
preserving plant located here to ham
die it.
1t has been conceded that the best
plan for handling such a proposition
is through some form of cooperation
and it may be fittingly urged that just
now is the best time for perfecting
such an organization and making the
preparations necessary for handling
the coming crop. This is not neces-
sarily the winter of our discomfort,

The approaching session of con-
gress will give the democrats an i'm
mense opportunity to show the spirit
which would animate them if they
We're in control of all branches of
the government,
In handling the tariff the democrats
should show that they desire to re-
lieve the ultimate consumer, but do
not desire to paralyze industries which
have grown up under the old system.
Complex methods of taxation are not
to be altered all at once. Absolute
free trade is impossible and we are
far from the point at which hard
and -fast tariff for revenue passes into
practical politics. Great Britain's
experience is no guide for us. Each
race has problems of it's own and
must solve them after it's own fash
ion.
Finally. it is to be hoped that the
democratic leaders will set the ex-
ample of clean-speech and good man
ners. The demagogue and the boor
inevitably defeat the cause for which
they pretend to fight. Senator Till
man had talent and courage which
might have give him decisive inf1u-
ence with the whole country, but his
talent and courage were wasted in
TRADES, thus leaving him in the
shadow of smaller men. 1t was said
of Moltke that he knew how to be
silent in seven languages Democrats
who know how to be silent in one
will be most useful in this congress

The back to the farm movement will
be aided materially when the general
public is lead to believe that it takes
brains to succeed on the farm The
prevalent idea has been that the farm
is the worlds tread mill grind and
that men of brains and ability sought
some more congenial occupation. But
the advantages of the farm need tc
be put in the limelight as compared
with other occupations that are really
more of a hopeless grind.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH IN PUB.
LICITY

Modern methods in publicity indi-
cate that the promoters of the game
are proceeding on a scientific basis.
The days of the boaster and the
boomer have gone by and their
methods are crude compared with the
methods employed by the present pub
hcity experts, methods made neces-
sary because the public had begun to
look askance at any form of boosting
that did not have behind 1t some au-
thentio source.
The most efficient advertising Is not
that put out by the land boomers and
the townsite promoters but that put
out by railroad corporations and by
Commercial clubs and other organi'
cations similarly situated with refer
ence to the promotion Of the enter
prise. The homeseeker and the in
weston now want to be assured of the
reliability of the information that is
put before them before they give it
any serious consideration. The age
of "wild eating" has gone by and all
publicity worth while has to carry
with 1t the weight Of some personal
responsibility.
A plan for promoting publicity just
heing advanced by the Great North
ern railroad company illustrates some
of the best things in modern methods.
A letter just being sent out from the
st. Paul offices of the company starts
a campaign to secure the cooperation
of every man and woman who has
settled along the line of the road in
bringing to the attention of their
eastern friends the opportunities Of
fered for home making in the locality
in which they have settled. The cir
cuar discussing the plan says:
I'VE have found after long and
careful investigation, that very
large per cent of the settlers who
move to the northwest are influenced
by the friends who are already living
in our country"
Here then is the direct application
of the Importance of the personal
touch in the matter of publicity The
company wants the name of your
eastern friend and through the per-
sonal interest of friend for friend it
hopes to put the consideration it 9TH
erwse might not get.
The western friend becomes a
source to check against the state
ments put out by the company about
productivity of the west and its de-
STABILITY from the standpoint of the
prospective settler or investor. 1t is
a plan for cooperation that cannot
help but bring about good results. The
company has observed that it has
worked out in practice in a small way
and now seeks to enlarge upon the
plan. 1t is the man en- the land
boosting for neighbors among his
friends and acquaintences and carries
With it the best form of publicity.
