The biblical limit of three score and
ten will eventually be the natural heri-
tage of every man, and the railroads
are engaged in an earnest effort to
bring about this condition as promptly
az possible, said DR.. C. w. Hopkins,
chief surgeon of the Chicago & North
western Railway Co., in a paper pre-
scented to the Academy Of Medicine to-
day on THE Hospital Organization
of Railway System"
DR.. Hopkins pointed out that many
large industrial enterprises had de-
veloped Just as efficient departments
of health as were to be found in the
most advanced municipalities, ana
sometimes made even greater per
capita expenditure. The railroad ply
sician or surgeon had an especially
fine field before him, as the railways
were finding it their duty not only to
prevent accidents, but to prevent dis
ease from Gripping the efficiency OF
their armies of employees. 1T Is now
a we'll recognized fact among the

chat it Is just as important to care

maintain a certain standard OF ef-
flciency or perfection of their rolling
stock and road bed.

PROTECTION THE REMEDY.

England Is facing one OF the gravest
crises in it's history. It is unable to
meet the hosts of Germany on an equal
footing because England has not the
facilities for supplying itself with what
it needs as have the Germans. England
is scurrying about the neutral world
buying arms and ammunition. clothing,
food, and articles OF all kinds needed
in war and at home and is paying fab
ulous prices because the neutral world
is willing to profit by the needs OF 3
great country that suddenly finds itself
dependent upon the rest of the world.
The crisis is such that a prom
inent London banker has publicly
advised the people of Great Britain:
1--WE must import only absolute neces-
stiles and produce everything In this
country that we possibly can"
That is what the protective tariff ad-
vocates in the United States have been
preaching for years They have acid
all along that this country In order to
be independent Of the rest Of the world
and to enjoy the greatest prosperity,
must import as little as possible and
