GOOD HEALTH COMMERCIALLY
 CONSIDERED

The final report of the Commission
 on Industrial Relations created by act of Congress in 1912, has just been is- sued. While the findings and recom- mendations of this commission on la bor conditions, industrial unrest, work mems compensation, hours of labor, trade unions and other subjects con nected with industrial conditions are of interest, the most important sec-
 tion of the report, from the stand point of the physician and the sani- tarian is Section 16 on Industrial Con- ditions and the Public Health. Con denscd into six pages are a number of startling statements for the first time given the authority and endorse ment of a government commission. Under the direction of an officer of the
 Public Health Service, Investigations were conducted by the commission which revealed the fact that while much attention has been given of late to accident prevention, yet accidents caused only one seventh as much des- titution as does sickness. Each of the thirty-odd million wage earners in the United States loses an average of nine days a year through sickness, at an average cost of two dollars a day. The wage loss from this source is over five hundred million, while the added cost of medical care of at least |$1S0 100000 increases the total sick bill of the wage earners of the United States to S6S0,000,000 a year. From 30 to 40 per cent, of cases requiring charitable relief are due to sickness, while sickness among wage earners Is primarily the result of poverty, caus- ing insufficient diet, bad houseing, in- adequate clothing and unfavorable surroundings and place of work and the personal habits of the worker are important but secondary factors. Ihis means that while there should be no

PEAT AS A STOCK FOOD.

Some interesting uses are being made of peat in the United States. It is manufactured into fertilizer and employed as fertilizer filler, accord ing to the United States Geological Survey, it is also used for making paper, stock food, and mud baths. In Germany and Austria peat baths are Well-established institutions, and dur ing the last few years such baths have been tried in some of the sanitariums of the Middle West and found benefi- cial in certain cases. As food for live stock, however, peat seems to have found it's most curious use, inasmuch as the kind of peat used is thousands of years old, and, although it may still be chased as vegetable in char acter it is only a step removed from low grade coal. As a stock food it is used in a mixture containing molasses. The results are stated to have been very satisfactory in practice, the peat acting as a tonic and corrective. The peat used is the black, well-humifed or routed kind and is prepared in prac- tically the same way as when used for fertilizer. Peat for various pur- poses was produced in the United States last year to the extent of ST. 900 tons, valued at $367,0O0. The naat danoSitS of the ITnited States are of enormous extent.

dlmlnutlon in our efforts to secure bet ter conditions in the factory, the office and the workshop, the real solution of the public health problem lies in the improvement of the home.
 The greatest responsibility rests on the individual and, under present con- dltlons, in the opinion of the commits sion, he is unable to meet this respon- slbllity. The majority of wage earn CTS do not receive sufficient wages to provide for proper living conditions. The present methods of disease pre- ventlon and cure are expensive, and sickness Is most prevalent among those who are least able to purchase health. The commission does not anticipate any such rapid increase in the wages of all classes of workers as would per mt proper living conditions and ade- quate medical attention, and therefore concludes that new methods of dealing With existing conditions must be adopted, based on the cooperative ac- ton of those responsible for these conditions. A system of sickness in- surance is proposed as the most fea- slble single remedy. The right of the federal government to tax industries Tn a sickness insurance system has been recognized since 179S, when the law taxing registered vessels for the support of the Marine Hospital Service was passed. An extensive scheme for federal system of sickness insurance IS outlined by the commission provid- ing for national sickness insurance commission composed of representa- tives of employers and employees in equal ratio, with the federal commits sion of labor statistics and the sur geon-general of the Public Health Ser vice as eX officio members. The rec concentrations of the commission on sickness insurance and on the improve ment of health conditions among wage earners, in the opinion of The Journal of the American Medical Association, are worthy of the most careful consid- eration both by employers and by labor unions.

THANKSGIVING DAY

''Ai"Oii h'S lSSueu q pro- clamatlon designating Thursday, No vember p, as Thanksgiving Day. In his proclamation he states that while the past year has been one of discipline on account of the European war, it has also been one of especial blessings.
 Yes, we have much to be thankful for in this year of 1915.
 We may be thankful that we have not buried millions of our best young men as sacrifice to the god of war.
 We may be thankful that we have not more millions of sorrowing wid- ows, whose grief is all the more poig- nant because the reason of it is not understood.
 We may be thankful that we have not many millions of hungry and cold orphans, innocent children thrown on the mercy of the world to grow up in |any pathway that offers. We may be thankful that our great and productive territory has not been |ravaged and torn by the elements of war, that our cities and villages have not been destroyed, that our non-com- blatant citizens have not been maimed and killed by hundreds.
 We may be thankful that our great peace-loving nation has steered clear from the stress and strife of war that we are prosperous and safe, and happy.
 We may be thankful that we have not millions and billions of war debts to burden us for many years to come, and heavy taxation to meet and liqui- date the debt.
 We may be thankful that our nation has risen to the topmost pinnacle of commercial and financial importance among all the nations of the world.
 And when the day to give thanks rolls around We may be doubly thank full that the little family circle is in- tact, that we are not called upon to mourn the loss of absent ones who sleep in unknown graves in distant lands.
 This is truly a year when every American citizen no matter how hum ble the home or scant the daily provi- sion, may be truly thankful that we live in great and glorious republic, where the people themselves rule, where peace and plenty reigns because the people have the right to say whe- ther or not we shall have peace or war. There may be thousands of in- stances where the pinch of poverty will be felt on Thanksgiving day, but compared to the grief stricken, impov erished homes of millions in Europe it will be vertible paradise of happi- ness and plenty.
 So, as President Wilson says, it has been year of especial blessings, and with one accord we may all be thankful.-Hot Springs New Era.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
 THE CHURCHES
By Clio Harper.

What is the matter with the churches? That is a question of more than academical significance at this lime and it is being asked with great seriousness by many Little Rock pas tors. It is a condition not unique to this section, but one that is attract ing attention all over the country. Re |GgOus fervor is at low ebb, and However church leaders may attempt to conceal it, the churches are being supported in d half-hearted manner l that is most disconcerting to those who are attempting to extend the do- main of the Nazarene.
 There is one of the largest churches lin Little Rock whose pastor has a standing rule that he will not deliver
 asemon on Sunday night to less than ten people; and once or twice a month he delivers no Sunday night sermon. Services at any of the churches are hot attended by the masses of the peo- l pie, Some of them report more peo- 1 pie in the choirs than in the pews.

 Churches in Little Rock had only 151 people in the audience-the discourag- ed pastor of the flock counted them himself.
