Surgery is branch of medicine
which started as an offshoot and has
wound up as the main stem. 1t Is one
Of the most benefcient forms of human
endeavor, as il usually leaves the patti
ent strong enough to express his graf
itxde but too weak to protest against
the size of the fee.
Fifty years ago surgery was seldom
resorted to save in cases where the
patient had broken both legs in three
places and could not be appeased by
the mustard plaster He was then set
upon by three or four of the neighbors
and restored to his original contour.
Much ingenuity was shown in the
treatment of these cases, which left the
patient with an unimpaired appetite
and lumpy physique. a
Surgery has taken great strides In
recent years, chiefly due to the acci-

Topics of the Times

Every iron and steel furnace factory
in the country is working night and
day In Iowa at least every builder is
seeking skilled workmen. The farmers
are not fu.sing over the partial failure
OF the corn crop and commercial
agencies report trade picking up
rapidly in every section. 1t isn't a
bad way to go into the winter.
Also the question arises whether
those ninety five delelict druggists who
sold near beer drinks would have
been so vociferously unanimous in the
declarations that they would never,
never do it again if somebody hadn't
happened TO start something.
Ninety per cent Of Minnesota bull

A HehRY FORD IDEA.

Henry Ford says he believes he shall
! live to be s5 and wants to live only
as long as he is able to work. a
mans work." he continues, 'is the
most important thing in his life
J Many men have this idea. 1t comes
mainly from the feeling that when
they have grown old and to degree
/, inefficient the reins of the business or
the factory or whatever will be taken
from their hands and another guide
and drive II is a foreknowledge Of
conquest by youth which will be
served. the dread of being superseded.
Mr.. Ford is q great man in his way.
1t has been more than limited of late
that he lacks greatness in other ways.
He is more the manufacturer than the
philosopher. The automobile business
will not ole when he leaves the steer
ing wheel of the Ford factory. Why
should he die merely because he can
not supervise the making of We
h!cle every so many minuteso
There are other things to DO. All
work is not encompassed in the max
ing Of more autos and more money.
There is a pretty wide field for the
man who has made more money than
he knows what TO do with in spending
il. He car work al that and keep as
usefuily busy as in any factory. 1t isn't
necessary 10 die. When a man like
Ford quits active work in his business
he can begin to live over again.
Mr. Ford is fooling himself: there
are other and excellent activities and
the chances are that he will have been
dead and gone lorg before His s5th
birthday. Not forgotten perhaps but
as good as forgotten so far as he is
concerned. Folks aren't going to re-
member an auto manufacturer long.
The biggest claim Henry Ford has on
general remembrance is that he d.
vidsd profits with his workmen and es-
tablished that minimum wage Of his.
Folks viii recall that long after they
"DN'c nav ASA sthhcil lid iiS was u
rich manufacturer. The death of
rich man doesn't make much of hole
in pail of water unless he has done
something besides getting rich making
autos or collecting interest
That ought to be nod as good as a
wink 70 Henry Ford. When he quits
the factory If ne shall bend his re-
naming energies and his vast fortune
in the direction of Philanthropy
which nowadays is becoming a
synonym for help instead of cold
charity-he will find his later years MS
best and most satisfactory period Of
existence. And when il is finished If
he shall have left fixed anchor in
the common recollection it will be the
one he dropped after he had quit
working" as he seems to understand
the definition. For the true holding
ground for our cables against oblivion
is in the hearts of the people and not
in the golden sands of finance.
Henry Fords desire to die at the
head of factory army isn't great
enough TO match the man himself. II
isn't up TO his ideas Of efficiency. He
ought to get out of himself all that is

When Europe was suddenly engulfed in a
stupendous war a few months ago, mountains of
words were piled up contending that IL was a
conflict OF monarchs. OF autocrats and that had
the determination Of the issue been left to the
people, the verdict would have been for peace.
Moralists and some philosophers have consoled
themselves with this thought and II persists to

Some events that have followed the first
declarations OF war. however. tend to suggest
that perhaps, even had all the governments OF
Europe been demoeracies, war might have en-

republic as yet involved, that its people were

and OF Greece, although the latter country has
not as yet Joined actively in the dance OF de-

The king Of Italy was determined TO keep

himself threatened by a revolution among his

field is due to no final failure OF diplomacy, to
no hopeless impasse in negotiations to maintain

lace. In Greece the voters we're appealed to.

In the face OF these occurrences, is it entirely
