STUDENT, AGED 81, IS DEAD

Berne.-The oldest university stu.

CT Berne for 81 years without hav-
ing taken his medical degree.
!. Laederach entered the university
when he was twenty years old. He
studied assiduously, but, owing TO a
singular nervous temperament, he
could never pass an examination. Urr
der the written and oral tests he be-
came SO embarrassed that he always
failed.
Laederach. however, had an inde-
pendent income and tenacity He de-
termined to pass the examinations il
it took a lifetime. Many OF his stu.
dent friends became professors OF
medicine at Berne and Laederach at
tended their lectures, although he
knew as much as they did.
Years went by, with the student still
striving for his degree. Recently he
went into the university examination
room for the hundredth time. He was
engaged In writing series of answers
to the questions OF the examiners when
he fell forward on his desk, dead from

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT

has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies Of patients dis

a sound investment for any state or
city. IHlIIe>gross earnings of ITO ex-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted t0
$102,752, and those Of I'll cases in
1912 to $112,021. BY applying the
same average earning to all ex-pa-
tients of the sanatorium living in 1911
and 1912, DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years WAS
S551 ,000 This sum is more than three
times the cost of maintenance OF the
sanatorium including interest at 4 per
cent on the original investment and
depreciation charges. DIR. Barnes con-
cludes, however, While institutions

Go0D PLAN OF COOPERATION.
There Are Seventeen Cooperative
stores Working Successfully In
State of Wisconsin.

Go-operatiye stores have been con-
Quoted successfully in Wisconsin for
The last 80 years, but only within two
years have they become at all numer-
GUS under the excellent new law. At
present there are II successful coop
eratiVe stores with total membership
now about 500, an authorized cap
.tal stock Of some 100000, and Cash
i s4go. 900. The stores employ $50 clerks
and their volume OF business for 1913
will exceed s1.500,0o0
All goods are sold at the same
prices charged by other retailers,
says the Farm and Home. After set
ting aside interest at five per cent on
capital, and suitable reserves, the
profits are rebated as dividends upon
purchasers. Shareholders get full divi-
dend, which equals five to ten per
cent saving, while non members get
only half dividend or none.
The early cooperative stores In
Wisconsin found hard shedding be-
cause OF the lack of cooperation spirit,
limited capital, the collapse of the
early organized farm apd labor move
ment, lack Of business knowledge and
practice among the co-operators, lack
Of wholesale house from which the
retail cooperative stores could OBJ
tain their supplies, and by the COM
petition of five and ten cent stores,
department. stores, trading stamp
schemes and mail order houses.
During the last few years Wiscon-
sin people have become educated to

other. In most of the societies, mem
