STUDYING Health Insurance.


The National Civic federation has
Instituted inquiries into the methods
IN foreign countries of insuring wage
earners against misfortune, and as a
result the social service department
OF the federation is considering the
desirability of recommending legisla-
ton to provide for compulsory insur-
ance for illness.
A committee has been in London
to study the operation of the national
Insurance act of Great Britain. EN-
ployers were asked about the cost
OF the insurance and it's relation to
business. Wage earners were asked
to give information regarding the ef-
fects on wage rates, on the conditions
OF employment, and on their general
welfare. Changes in the cost Of poor
relief and any reduction in the death
rate from preventable diseases were
investigated.
This general survey will prepare the
way for an investigation by a commits
sion next spring, when an effort will
be made to bring together all infcr
nation which will serve social insur.
'ance purposes in the United States.

bruised about the face and body,
Mr.. Pittman received a bad wrench
to one arm, and Mr.. Stephenson S

ceased's injuries were light, but
complications set IN and all hope was
lost on Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Stephenson was manager on
the farm of Mr.. Thos. o. Vaughan,
just outside of town, and was a very
good farmer and very capable man
in many respects. He was an ex-
ceedingly good neighbor, a very
kind and considerate husband, man
who loved dearly his friends and de-
lighted in being of service to those
in nee d Of help. He also regarded
his obligations as sacred and believ-
ed in right and justice being dis
pensed. He was a man of grit and
determination and made things pan
out by effort, and made a most ex-
cellent farmer, as the farm he man.
