She fastened TO disillusion me.
Craftsmanship, yes of kind. But
general instruction in craftsmanship is
not enough. 1t is too generaliZed; it

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

1t is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic, un-ChristAke
and dangerous to both church and
state.

BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMITS
SION OF WISCONSIN

] In the Matter of the Application of the
Garter and Wabeno Telephone Com
pany for Authority to Increase Rates.
| The Carter and Wabeno Telephone
Company filed an application for au-
thority to increase rates on February
10th, 1915. The application states that
| the present rates are 81 90 per month
| for residence telephones and ST.. so for
business telephones, and sets forth
that the revenues received from these
rates are insufficient to maintain the
lines and give the service required.
| The increase applied for amounts to
25 cents per month, or $500 per year
for each class of service.
Hearing was set for April 18th and
due notice given to all interested par
ties No appearances were entered at
that time.
| The annual report submitted by the
petitioner for the year ending January
| 1, 1915, shows that the operating
revenues are $4427 and that the Oper-
ating expenses, exclusive of depreci-
alton or interest and profits, are $3O75.
The amount available for interest and
depreciation is therefore 81 352. Depre-
citation should be provided for at the
rate of about 81 per cent On the cost
of property of SIT, O27, making an al
lowance of 81 ,1o7, and leaving bal
ance of $245 available for interest and
profits. This balance is per cent of
the property and plant account, which
is QUITE clearly an inadequate rate of
return.
The rates desired by the company APP
tply to all subscribers. There are, how
ever, a few urban party lines having
| two or three subscribers on each line
Some differentiation in the rate for
this class of service should be made
and it is accordingly suggested that
the rate for such urban party line sub
scribers should remain unchanged AS
there are but II such urban party line
subscribers, this recommendation will
not seriously affect the increase in
revenues.
The increased rates desired by the
company, with the exception above
noted, will apply to 161 subscribers,
and the net increase will therefore
amount to $4S3. The net amount then
available for interest and profits will
be $72S, or 4. 3 per cent on the proper
ty and plant account. 1t does not,
therefore, appear that the application
of the petitioner is at all unreasonable
when applied to urban single party
subscribers and rural subscribers, and
it will be granted accordingly insofar
as it concerns such subscribers.
ISTHEREFoRE ORDERED That
the petitioner, the Carter and Wabeno
Telephone Company, may set aside it's
present schedule of rates and substitute
in lieu thereof the following schedule
of rates
URBAN SERVICE
Business Telephones
Single party line S1.75 per month
Two or more party line 81 so per month

wEAKLlNGs CAN'T WORK

/ had the pleasure recently of visit
ing the medical and surgical depart
ment of large Chicago corporation
which employees from ten to twelve
thousand people (the name of the con-
oern is repressed as this is not an adj
vertisement) and looks after their
health and physical condition as care
fully as does the army or navy of the
condition of soldiers and sailors. And
there is no pretense that sentiment
and Glove of humanity" prompt this
care On the contI airy, the medical de-
partment is frankly considered to be
an essential cog in the organization of
a business so large that it requires
over ten thousand people to keep it 60
ing.
According to the physician who was
in charge, every applicant for a posi-
ton with the company is given COM
plete physical examination, so
thorough that even the existence of
small corn on the foot is noted. "We
have found, +" he said, ''that even so
slight deformity as this prevents an
employee from giving his very best
service. By advice on proper shoes,
Furthermore, we can usually correct
the disorder" After employment, an
attempt is made to examine every en-
ployee once each year, and immediate
ly in case of acute illness or evidence
of chronic illness manifested by a
falling off in the individuals work or
slackening interest in his job.
In addition to the five physicians
and eleven nurses employed, the de-
partment has the whole time of
dentist who works in the best appoint
ed dental office / have ever seen.
Much general i'll health is found to be
due to defective teeth. When, there
fore, an employee has sufficient mouth
disorder to account for his physical
unfitness, he is required to have his
teeth properly cared for. On contlnu-
ed neglect or upon refusal to secure
proper treatment, he is dismissed as
an undesirable employee.
Last year, sixty-five eases OF tuber-
culosis were discovered. Ii is signih-
cant of the value of the ADVISE and ex-
aminations to the workers that OF
these sixty-five cases, forty-three were
among new employees, in every in
stance, believe, the disease was dis
covered early, when chances for pos
sible recovery were practically perfect.
Not all of the work is cold-bloodsd
business, however, as the company
maintains a cottage at a tuberculosis
sanatorium for the care of it's tubercu-
losis employees.
This wonderful company pays
$50 900 per year for the maintenance
of it's medical department, and as L
said above, testifies that the expeudi-
ture pays and is justified by good
business considerations. While a
small employer would not be justified
in providing an elaborate medical de-
partment, it would be fair question
question for him to ask himself If he
can afford not to give a propcrtionate
amount of attention to this important
factor in business success. And the
employee who isn't getting ahead as
fast as he ought might ask himself if
he may not be struggling against
physical handicap that prevents pos
sibiEty of success.
