in shops, and the coal mines, steel
works and larger establishments nave
good equipment and trained men,
| there are many plants which are not

they are giving medical treatment be-
cause that comes in the follow-up
work. However. it is stated that the
number of cases treated show degree
of efficiency that would astonish and

Stewart Complimented. - Adjutant
| General Thomas J. Stewart is being
ccmplimented upon the splendid rec
ord of attendance of all organizations
! of the National Guard at the summer
encampments. The percentage of alb
sences was only per cent. for the
whole Guard of over 1900 men, the
! smallest known. and considerable
improvement over other States and
| even of organizations of the regular
| army. The record has attracted ma
| tional attention. 1t Is believed that
but for one or two instances which
prevented men from attending infan-
! try encampmentS the record would
have been lower than ordinarily
allowed for sickness among militia
men or regulars.
