Cost of Cure.

The Chinese, it is said, pay their
physicians when they are well. Pay
stops when they become sick. Fees
are resumed when the patient has re-
covered. This is generally pointed out
as the ideal arrangement between
physician and patron. Unfortunately,
Chinese physicians have, in the past,
been wretchedly unfit. They have been
medicine men," Education is bringing
well trained medical men" into China.
! Get that distinction? 1t remains to be
seen if the old system will be main
| tanned under the new order. Only then
can results be compared With results
under our new system.
PROFESSIONALLY the principle of en-
| ploying a physician to keep one we'll is
| correct. Big corporations employ law
yers to keep them out of court instead
of to get them out. This is one of the
reasons why they get to be big.
There has recently been formed in
this country a Life Extension Insti-
tute''. 1t was formed primarily by
life insurance companies as business
proposition. The institute will employ
expert medical examiners throughout
the country. Life insurance companies
will pay for free examination of their
policy holders.
'"The method to be used is very sim
pie and the same is applied to ordinary
neutrality-suspicious. and repair, ac-
cording to one of the organizers. By
this means it is expected to nip many
ailments in the bud. The insurance
companies expect to save more than
the operating cost by prolonging the
lives of their insured risks. The bust
ness is not based on theory. 1t is not
sentimental 1t is an extension, on
wide scale, of an experiment which has
proved profitable on small scale.
One does not need to be an insurance
company to make profit on the idea.
A private individual can arrange with
physician for periodic inspection and
for "overhauling" if necessary. Wise
automobiles insure against break
downs. They avoid an ignominious and
costly tow home by knowing that the
engine and running gears are sound be-
fore they start.
Life has commercial value. 1t has
sentimental value. Good health in the
home is luxury. Why not protect it
instead of repairing it? A moth eaten
garment can seldom be completely re-
stored. It's doubtful if a disease eaten
body ever is. It's ''good business" to
have the little troubles detected and
repaired before they become big.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Across France north of Paris run two
rivers towards the west. One of these
rivers is the Marne which is an extension
of the Seine which runs through Paris.
The other is the river Aisne. which is
nearly parallel and about fifty miles
from the Belgian boundary.
Last week as we wro' 9, great battle,
to be known in history as the battle of
the Marne, was being fought on and
along its banks nearly east of Paris,
the result of this fighting has caused
the German army to withdraw farther
north and the dispatches say that they
are preparing to make another stand on
the river Aisne.
Leading up to this retirement of the
German army was fanking movement
of the French and English troops to the
west of the German lines not far from
Paris. Evidentally the allies had been
greatly reinforced and the German
Yrmy was completely tired out from lor g
continuous fighting and want of rest.
The German army in retreating went
northeastward, thus contracting their
lines, SO that there we're few or no Ger
mans left west of line running north
from Paris.
This concentration made more linen
available in the German right center
where the hardest fighting on the river
Marne was done about fifty miles east of
Paris.
During all the German advance of two
weeks ago towards Paris, and now on
their retirement towards the northwest,
the situation near the French and G r
man boundary to the far east adjoining
Lorraine ana Alsace, has not changed to
any extent.
The advance movement of the German
! army was in great semi.circle with the

Their lines extended about three hun.
dred miles. On the return with the
same pivot they are swinging backwards
but with lines contracted nearly one

center. But the Germans while they
failed to pierce the allied, drew of in
fairly good order and retreated probab-
ly to find better position.
There are no details as to the losses
Probably nearly two million men were
more or less engaged in killing each
other for about week. 1t does not
need other details than this to guess the
awful carnage on both sides.

mans and which the Russians either are
Investing or trying to invest. In Gallicia
the Russians have advanced some fifty
miles west and are near Prezeworsk,
which is strongly fortified and said to be
the last fortified defence of the Austrians
toward Vienna. There have been some
very severe battles fought in this section
in which the losses were very great on
both sides. The Russians losing heavily
at the hands of the Germans but inflict-
ing almost overwhelming defeats on the
Austrians.
1t is quite possible that during the
coming week another great battle on the
Aisne in France may have deciding
effect at least on the present phases of
the war. The Germans might again put
allies on the defensive, or might have to
retreat as best they could through
threatened rear communications back
to Germany.
The Belgians sally out from Antwerp
and cause the Germans great deal of
trouble to protect their rear in that
direction.
Servia is also worrying Austrian troops
and making progress against them.
Turkey acted for while as though
she might start in and help Germany,
but with the present reverses of that
army it is not now likely that she will
interfere,
Italy seems more neutral than ever.
