PUTTING MONEY TO WORK.

Money for the railroads can be OBJ
tanned only if the railroads can show
earnings assuring the interest upon
the money borrowed. For some time,
the railroads have been unable 10 give
any such assurance. Earning power
has slid down. Operating expenses
have gone up.
So it has been impossible for the
transportation companies TO replace
rails, lower grades, reconstruct
bridges, put in branch lines, extend
the block system, buy locomotives and
order cars, as these things ought TO be
done in order TO meet the demands OF
traffic and answer the cry for better
ments. Buying has been from hand
to mouth Little construction has been
undertaken which could be postponed.
And because Of this condition, mills
have not run TO capacity, locomotive
and car works have been running on
part time, ore carriers have been tied
up in the lake harbors, equipment
houses have been wrapped up IN
gloom, and labor, instead Of being in
demand, has had TO plead for work.
1t would be foolish TO be senu-
mental over the woes OF the railroads.
But If, by increasing their earnings,
the railroads can set millions OF dol
lars OF idle money into circulation,
they should have that opportunity.
Anything promising TO set the hoard
ed money of the country At work
ought TO be given a trial. - Toledo
Blade.

A BETTER SPIRIT.

Within the past year great change
has come over the public spirit in its
attitude toward the railroads and
great corporations.
In spite of the malodorous transac-
tons of the Boston Maine and the New
Haven and Hartford railroads, there
is a disposition to give these great
agencies of commerce a run for their
money"
This is a great blessing
II proves too that the public mind
is becoming more discriminating and
ceases to lump of all corporations as
bad, because a few so wrong.
Just now the nation is not much
disturbed over the tendency OF the in
terstate railroad commission to grant
the rate increase of FIVE per cent.
There is. indeed, new spirit in this
country which awakens the hope that
we have entered upon a saner era
with respect TO the great corporations
of our country.
We have INDUCED in a great deal of
ignorant talk about these institutions
that had an evil effect upon our well
fare.
The state spirit is singularly pro-
gressive toward a better understand
ing.
1t is a highly gratifying evenc that
corporations all over the state are vol
unfairly placing themselves under the
control of the public utilities commits
sion.
1t reduces the local pressure" and
gives every great utility company a
more even chance for its Development.

Haunted of merry gods, whose

With music all thy golden willow

With every charm of beauty thou

How to Get Your Leaves Raked.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. Fields gave an
autumn leaf party to a number of
Young people. in honor of their daugh-
ter Hazeldean's sixteenth birthday. 1t
was an enjoyable affair. the guests
bringing rakes with them to rake the
leaves from the lawn.
THE fate of the group picture is
one of the most pathetic spectacles
in the human drama. The setting of
the picture is a groundwork of joy.
The party is in the full enjoyment OF
an outing at a lake, or picnicking in
woods, or gathered at a banquet, and
/. the thought is that when the company
is separated the picture will be a
thing to cherish a pleasant memory
in every light and shadow. a dear as
sOciatiOn in every figure. The pictures
are kept, almost always kept, but
inevitably they find their way to the
attic OF the ola bureau draw En- anu

Michigan st. on arriving from our

COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY.
Important Meeting and Election Held
on Monday.

The county medical society, DR..
Thomas president, met in DEBORAH
last Friday. Only local doctors were
present. DR.. Swezey spoke on COM
mon colds, their late effects in OBJ
scure diseases. He illustrated the
| scpic with the story of three patients
one with sciatic rheumatism, ono
with headache AID one with attacks
of fainting nausea and vomiting
each of them cured by treatment of
the nose
DR.. Barfoot read a paper on pre-
yentive medicine, giving a general
outline of the subject with particular
attention to rest as a means of pre-
serving health and curing disease.
The work of dentists in filling teeth
is one form of prevention in the field
of medicine. The work of legislators
in making laws of quarantine and
sanitation is another form The work
of doctors in the laboratory where
serums are investigated is part of it.
Their ideal is to be secured by immu-
nifty and heredity. The ideal of an
other class of workers is in eugenics.
and of still another class In the un

ton in schools, lectures and news.
papers. Several of these items es-
pecially the better babies movement
and popular education were covered
at length either in the paper by DR..
Barfoot or in discussion by the other
doctors present.
The medical idea of rest was noted
as an efficient agent in climate and
in general sanitarium treatment and
in the fact was suggestion that a
wider application of the idea be
made in home practice. In diet for
instance it is not what food is eaten.
but rather how and when. Infants
fed from the table of adults are not
always invalids. The virtue of diet
ing in the sick room is primarily in
the rest given to the organs of di.
gestion. Milk gives this rest because
lit is a diluted food. On the other
hand the sick room does not always
imply poor digestion and if one is &C
customed for years to fried salt pork
or has fondness for sauer kraut one
may eat these dclicacies in the sick
room without remorse.
DR.. Amy who has been secretary
of the society since it was organized
eleven years ago was elected presi-
dent for the coming year.
