the salary of the supervising teacher is
paid out of the seven tenths mill tax
levy. Another feature is that cities
and villages pay their proportion Of the
mill tax and thus become partners in
the rural school movement. The at
tractive wage scale, together with the
supervising teacher, is intended to ele-
vate the standard Of rural schools.

which would reduce the disease hazard
of the employees.
AS a result of this agitation, one of
the mechanical engineers studied the
problem thoroughly and with most sat
isfactory results. A process Of grind
ing has been installed which eliminates
the chance of employees lungs being
filled with stone and steel. Inciden-
tally, the cost of grinding has been
reduced SO much that the price of the
expensive machine equipment Of this
large plant was returned to the owners
in a single year in reduced manufac-
turing costs AS a second incident, the
product has been refined and improved
greatly, thus insuring better satisfied
customers.
Verify, virtue brought its own reward
in this instance-and speedily too The
owners only interest in the beginning
was to save life and health. That their
profits were increased is gratifying
Gradually evidence is accommodating to
prove that erecting safeguards against
industrial accidents and disease is not
alone humane and just, but that it is
likewise good business"

WORLDS MIGHTIESTL OCOMO-
TiVES OPERATE THE "OLYM-
Plan" AND COLUMBIAN"
ELECTRICALLY OVER
THE ROCKIES

In the combination of size, power,
operating economy, ability to master
cold and snow, and to climb with ease
the mountain barriers, the great cleo
trio locomotives of the Chicago Mil
waukee & ST. Paul Railway which pull
the "Olympian" and COLUMBIAN" over
the Great Continental Divide are su
preme over all other types.
They are liz feet, inches long,
weigh 1884 tons, and have tractive
power of $1,000 pounds They derive
their power from the harnessed streams
of the mountains. The current used is
5000 volts direct, the highest potential
direct current used for railroad work in
the world
In cold weather, the cold aiding in
keeping the motors cool these locomo-
tives reach their highest state of eff
cheney. With their immense power
they are able to penetrate the heaviest
snow drifts with ease.
One Of the scientific marvels of these
locomotives is regenerative braking by
which the train on down grades, in
stead of consuming electricity, actually
produces and returns it to sub stations;
also by which the speed of the train is
kept under perfect control. insuring
maximum safety and eliminating wear
and tear on the brakeshoes, wheels and
track.

HEALTH CREATES WEALTH.

One of the largest manufacturing
companies in the United States, one
whose products are distributed all
around the earth, employs a medical
man to look after conditions which at
feet the physical welfare of it's thou
sands upon thousands of employees.
His function in the company is similar
to that of an engineer except that his
problem concerns the human beings
instead of the machines that make the
company's product.
Inasmuch as the manufacturing pro-
cesses are such as to entail rather
high industrial accident and industrial
disease rate, he was put on the job to
reduce the waste of human life and hu
man health AS much as it could be re-
duced.
The factory's grindstones were known
to be killing men by throwing off fine
particles Of stone and steel which in
jured the lung tissue OF the workers
and thus produced conditions favorable
to the development Of tuberculosis and
pneumonia. When the "medcal engi-
neer" got on the job, his first attention
was directed to these lung diseases.
It was found that the method of grind
ing was directly and indirectly killing
the greatest proportion Of workers.
The DOCTOR therefore, began bonn
bardment Of the mechanical engineers
to devise some method Of grinding

HIGHLAND CENTER.

The Richland Democrat: Reports OF
serious damage to the bridge across the
Wisconsin river at Muscoda were afioat
here the latter part of the week, the
high water having carried part OF the
structure considerably out of line. An
inspector had been summoned out from
Madison to pass opinion as to the safety
of the structure for public traffic.
The high price of copper has placed
electric light wires on the list of things
that must be guarded to keep it out of
the hands of thieves. One night last
week thieves cut down and made away
with a span of 800 feet of electric light
wire in the city of Prairie du Chen,
and the wire was in service at the time
of it's being cut. When the company's
employees had located the break and the
cause of the trouble no trace of the
thieves could be found.
The recent high water in the streams
of the county caused considerable dam
age, especially along Bear creek and at
the Lone Rock mills. A section of the
concrete dam was taken out and the
mill undermined, one end and part Of
one side of the foundation being entirely
washed away The damage, according
TO the estimate of Mr. Genge, the pro-
prietor. will reach $4,000, besides put
