SNEEZED 1000 TIMES.
Then Miller Broke a Blood Vessel and
Obtained Relief.

Middletown, N. Y.-John Miller, a
farmer of Long Eddy, Sullivan county,
came near sneezing to death. He was
in the woods cutting down trees when
he took a pinch of some new snuff he
had just purchased. He began sneez-
ing and kept 1t up for more than FIVE
hours.
When he found be could not stop
~sneezing he drove to a train and came
to this city to consult a physician. On
his journey he just escaped being put
of the train for causing a disturbance.
On his arrival here he gave one final
sneeze and broke a blood vessel, which
caused his nose to bleed. This stopped
the sneezing, and he was all right.
He estimated that he sneezed about
1900 times. or OF an average fifteen
sneezes q minute for more than five
hours. He bit his tongue several times
during the sneezing.

WORKMENS ACT
GETTING RESULTS
Wisconsin Pleased With Its
New Compensation Law.
LABORERS ARE BENEFITED.

~Sh otf
Corporations Than FormerIy-Com-
psnies' Expenses Decreased by Elimi-
mating Middleman - Six Thousand
Cases In One Year.
Madison, Wis.-The workmen's COM
pensation act is beginning to show the
beneficial results of the amendment of
1913 in reversing the of aid
ing employees affected by it. Dur
ing one month there were 90l indus
trial accidents in Wisconsin, not in
Guiding railroad accidents. OF this
number 791. or So per cent, were under
compensation. According to reports
made to the industrial commission, the
number of accidents is increasing, but
this only apparently is true. The fact
is that more accidents are reported
than formerly. In the ease of shop ac-
cidents, which heretofore have been
quite accurately reported, a decrease is
shown.
Because of the federal liability act
applying to accidents in interstate com
merce the larger railroads have not
come under the act.
During one month 553 accident cases
were settled under the compensation
law. This was at the rate of G,G36
cases a year. The cost per case on the
average. excluding medical and hos
pital charges. was $62.S9. Applying
the same cost per case to the 6,G3G
cases, 1t amounts to SALT ,374 as the
total cost a year for indemnity. To
this must be added the estimated cost
Of medical and hospital charges, max
ing $626,061 as the probable cost OF
compensation for SO per cent of the
industrial accidents in Wisconsin fol-
1913. Indemnity is paid only in cases
where disability extends beyond the
seventh day, while medical attendance
applies to all accidents where such
services are needed.
The cost here given accounts only
for money actually paid to or on be
half of the injured workmen and
does not include overhead cost of in
uranc The amount paid to injured
workmen Is easily more than three
times as much as they received in
any one year under the old law. But
this does not by any means show that
it cost the employers three times as
much as under the old system. Under
that system the injured workmen did
not receive more than % per cent of
the amount paid by employers, while
under the compensation act at least rs
per cen of the amount paid by the
employers goes directly to the men
who are hurt.
In another way the results of the
operation of the compensation law dur
ing the last year were gratifying. Old
line insurance rates were reduced
twice during the year. In February
rates were reduced about % per cent,
and in October they were reduced
about Is per cent. and at the same time
coverage was increased from $4,000
and $4,000 to an unlimited amount.
For unlimited coverage under liability
the rates were about 20 per cent higher
than under limited coverage.
In addition to the foregoing, 11S cases
Of accidents were settled against the
state and municipalities at a cost of
| $39,942.
The cost of administration Of the
compensation act by the commission
for the year 1913 did not exceed $4,000.
The saving In costs of litigation to
counties Is safely estimated at over
500. 900.
