Resetting a Shoulder.

A dislocated shoulder may be re-
placed with scarcely any pain by the
following procedure. according to DR..
Julius Caesar OF Leicester. England:
Divest the patient Of his coat and
waistcoat. Place him on the ground In
a sitting posture. Grasp the wrist OF
the dislocated arm and have a third
person grasp the wrist OF the other
arm. Raise both arms simultaneously
over the head. taking care to keep
them parallel. and extending them up
ward till the patient is just raised
from the ground. At this point a click
IL heard and felt. This is the sound OF
the arm bone going back into Its
socket.
There are some dislocated shoulders
that cannot be reduced this way. but
they are the rare exceptions.

Nine CAUSES FOR
INDUSTRIAL UNREST

Washington, Dec. SHINE cardinal
causes of industrial unrest, most gen.
orally agreed upon by employers and
employees alike, were presented to con-
gress by the commission of Industrial
relations in its preliminary report, as
follows:
Largely a worldwide movement,
arising from a laudable desire for bet
ter living conditions.
"a protest against low wages, long
hours and improper working condi-
tons in many working industries.
"a desire OF the part of the work
ers for a voice in the determination
of conditions under which they labor,
and a revolt against arbitrary treat
ment Of individual workers and a sup
preston Of organization.
Unemployment and the insecurity
of employment.
unjust distribution of the prod
ucts Of industry.
misunderstanding and prejudice.
"Agitation and %agitators.
THE rapid rise in prices, as COM
pared with wages.
The rapidly growing feeling that
redress for injuries and oppression
cannot be obtained through existing
institutions.'

CONGRESS MEETS
IN FINAL SESSION

Washington, Dec. S.-Congress got
back to work again after a six weeks
rest to what promises to be a billion
dollar session. With crowded calen-
dars confronting both houses, sena-
tors and representatives settled down
to passing the big appropriation bills
and the administration program.
This will be the last session of the
SiNty-third congress, a congress that
will go down in history as one which
worked almost the entire two years
of its existence and as one which put
through a number of bills which will
affect the country for generations.
The program that must be carried
out is the passage of the %appropria-
ton bills. These must be passed, and
no congress in the past which has
gotten them through successfully has
had so many p%erplexing complications
that threatened to kill weeks of time
and prevent the passage of the bills.

NOT SATISFIED WITH PLAN
Hail Insurance Commissioner Calls
Showing UnfavorabIe.

Hail Insurance Commissioner Tay-
lor, in his report to Governor l.. B..
Hanna, gives the impression that he
is not entirely sure that state insur-
ance is a practical method of protec.
ton. Only 65 per cent was paid on
losses this year, as against SO per cent
in 1913, So in 1912, and 70 in 1911.
Ee says the showing is highly I'M.
favorable and compares it with the
methods of old line companies to the
advantage of the latter. He cites at
length the Canadian law, which makes
insurance compulsory, and advises
that some effort be made in this state
to follow that law, suggesting that it
would probably require a constitutions
al amendment.
In closing his report the commits
sioner says: From the standpoint of
comparative results obtained under
the Canadian plan and those which
have resulted under the North Dakota
scheme the odds are altogether in IA
vor of the former"

make offensive movements against
both Hungary and Silesia.
