disease which AFFECT all large manu-
facturers most, " he answered, land
possibly because they are the ones
that we can reach through our own
physicians and nurses easiest. If
there is sickness in any Of our $4,000
families in Detroit the husband gen
orally calls his own, physician. How
ever, he would certainly not think of
asking his physician to treat him for
a taste for alcohol or drugs, and it is
there where we can step in and help
him"
Right here learned something
about Henry Ford. He is a pro-
nounced indiYiduaIist. He likes peo-
pile, not the people. He is interested
in humans more than humanity. He
is the kind of a man that believes the
Individual must be helped now.
All the people about Henry Ford,
when speaking Of his projects and
plans, say: every man in the Ford
shop gets $500 a day" Mr.. Ford
says, Zach man gets $500 a day"
And that is the difference between
Henry Ford and the great average Of
our sociological workers and propa-
gandists.
He is almost TOlstoian in his sim
plicity of thought and manner,
81 am going to turn you over to DR..
Eisman,' he said. HE is the man
who will have charge Of the alcoholic
and dope departments Of the hospi-

found DR.. Eisman a keen-eyed
young mani imagine that most Of
the men near Henry Ford, in business
capacities, are under forty-with all
the enthusiasm and energy Of youth.
In answer to my question he an
swered: mo, we have no secret form
ula by which to treat alcoholic or
drug addictors. We will treat them
by the Town method, which has been
given to the medical fraternity.

Right here Henry Ford's eyes be-

"Oh, probably we can give him an
other chance. 1t is rather too bad,
isn't it, to give a man up the first
time he makes a misstep."
Dr. Eisman smiled and said: Il
knew Mr.. Ford would not subscribe
to my views on this matter. He seems
to feel that in every one living there
is a spark of ambition, honor and
ideality which can be made to glow
and burn If one puts the right finder

CANADIAN NOTES SOLD
Eauita BILE Trust Takes British
Columbia Issue.

Announcement was made yesterday
that the Equitable Trust Company had
purchased $4,000 of British Column
ba 4 1-2 per cent treasury notes. The
notes were bought through Bernhard,
Scholle 4 Co., and Colgate. Parker &
Co. They are dated December 81, 1914,
and have year to run. II was rumored
that they were sold on Ia per cent
basis, but this could not be confirmed.
The sale of the notes has particular
interest at this time, because financing
for British Columbia has hitherto been
done in London and because this IS the
first Offering Of Canadian provincial
issues in a movement that is expected
TO run into the tens of millions before
the war is ended.
No public offering of the securities
is expected to be made by the Equita-
BILE Trust Company, large part of the
notes having been already placed pri-
vatcly among its customers.

ERIE MAY ISSUE BONDS
To Care for Notes Maturing IN
April and October.

Following the announcement of new
financing by the Pennsylvania and
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
roads. rumors were current In the
financial district yesterday that the
management Of the Erie has under con-
sideration a plan for meeting notes
maturing in April and next October,
aggregating about Sl5.000,00O. II was
reported that not only will an issue of
bonds be put out large enough TO meet
the notes falling due this year, but
that il will be of sufficient size TO pro
vide for other requirements.
AS the Erie's new refunding and i'm
provement mortgage has not yet been
formally approved. it was thought pos
sible the new bonds will be OF another
character.
J. p. Morgan & Co. announced yes
terday that the S40,000,OOO six months
and one year per cent notes of the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad purchased a short time ago
had all been sold. IL is expected that
the underwriting syndicate viii be DIS
solved in the near future.

USUAL RUBBER DIVIDENDS
Earnings for / Months Meet
Years Requirements.

The board of directors of the United
States Rubber Company Yesterday de-
clared the regular quarterly dividends
on their stocks per cent upon the
hrst preferred, li2 upon the second
preferred and l y upon the common.
The tTeasurer's statement showed the
net earnings Of the company for eleven
months. from January l 10 November
30, 1914, to be sufficient TO cover the
dividends for 1914. The president.
Samuel j. Colt. said after the meeting:
while there has been some improve
ment in the business for December.
which is continuing into January. the
existing Wal introduces an unprece-
dented uncertainty into the situation.
There IS every reason to believe
that the embargo placed by Great Brit
am upon the Importation of crude rub
Der will be so modified as not TO en-
barrass the company in obtaining its
requirements of the crude material"

Explaining the Two-Fold
Uses of Manure SnreaderS

THE following is taken from the Farm
! Management Monthly, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
will be of interest to any farmers of the
state who are coming to use this import
ant agricultural implement.
Some Of the implements which are
found on almost every farm are used for
very short periods of each year. The
length of service may not include more
than three or four weeks. For the re-
naming part Of the year such pieces
either remain in the open, or they may be
given the best of care in a first-class i'm
plement shed.
Where they are exposed to the weather
a rapid decline in value is the result. In
~vestigations have proven that the depre-
citation for the manure spreader is ap-
pr0ximately 11.67 per cent annually. Ow-
ing to the fact that this machine IS re-
quired to carry a by-product which con-
tains more or less moisture, a part of the
depreciation is undoubtedly due to the
decay of the wood in the framework.
If this and similar pieces could be
utilized to a greater extent they should
last almost as long, and in doing the adj
ditional work the yearly charge in con-
nection with operation could be me- more
fully or completely. Ordinarily the man
ure spreader is in use at seasons of the
year when the field work is not demand
ing attention. While the harvest is in
progress it will be found idle, hence 1t is
available for other work.
In districts where field roots such as
m%angolds, sugar beets, or turnips are
grown, the manure spreader may serve
as a wagon in transferring the crop from
the field to the root cellar or pit. A SIM
pie adjustment will enable the operator
to save considerable time, as well as the
task of unloading with the aid of a shovel.
The cylinder or spreader is first re-
moved from the end of the box and a
suitable end board Is set in place, the lat
ter being held by an iron bar or rod.
When the load is taken to the cellar, the
end board can be lifted out readily and
the roots may be rolled into the trap door
merely by putting on the crank which
connects with the apron shaft and turning
by hand until the entire lot has been dis
charged.
It requires only a few moments to de-
liver the load. II the farmer does not
have wagons enough to move the crop
readily, this difficulty may be overcome
by following the suggestion which has
been offered.
