STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
URGES W0RKMEN TO BE CAREFUL
Commissioner Houk Points Out Large Number of sh Acct
dents Where Wounds Become Infected and Victims
~: Are Laid Up for Several Weeks.

In his campaign for safety to Min
nesota workingmen commissioner of
labor, w. F. Houk, this week calls
attention to the large number of
slight accidents in the state that
prove serious as the result of infec-
ton. He advises all laborers to be
exceeding by careful and to give
prompt attention to every wound. Mr..
Houk says:
EVERY mail brings to the depart
ment of labor and industries in the
Old Capitol number of accident re-
ports sometimes they number
fifty cases. They are of all degrees
of seriousness, and an average of al
most one fatal case daily.
I'm one mail last week there were
seven cases reported in which slight
accidents resulted in infections caus-
ing the workman to be disabled for
two weeks or longer. Scarcely a day
passes that does not bring in a num-
Der of infection cases.
Here is one type of accident, or
rather a consequence from accident,
for which there is no longer any ex-
cuse. A small expenditure of money
by the employer for an emergency or
first aid" outfit and little time on
the part of the employe to have the
wound, no matter how slight, treated,
will cause infections to be almost en-
tirely eliminated.

dustrial Commission states that of
1883 accidents reported, consisting
of abrasions, bruises, Commissions. cuts.

nearly ten per cent resulted in infec-
TONS Two of these were fatal
"A bulletin of the Wisconsin In
dustrial Commission shows that for
two years 4.S per cent of all ac-
! cidents reported resulted in infec-
tons. The total number was 721, of
which five were fatal, four required
! amputations to recover, and one re-
suited in permanent disa ability. The
accidents were, with few exceptions.
of trivial nature and would have
resulted in but very few days dis
ability each if properly treated. AS
1t was, over IL, 500 working days were
lost. or an average of II days per
case. 1t was estimated that the COM
pensation and medical aid in these
cases would cost the employers about
$4,000.
Here is a synopsis of how the
seven Minnesota cases previously
mentioned occurred:
Il. A chef in restaura Mt
scratched his finger on a fish bone
and infection resulted. The medical
expense in this case was $92.22. The
amount of compensation is still un-
determined.
Y. Infection of eye from cinder,
causing corneal ulcer. Compensation
$27. Medical costs, $57.

CAN CHIROPRACTIC
HELP ME? YOU ASK

BY DR.. Alexander Graham, 500
Columbia Building.
Can Chiropractice benefit me?
Scarcely day goes by but someone
asks me this question. 1t is easy for
the conscientious Chiropractor to
realize something of the pathos ex-
pressed in those few words by those
who have followed a medical regime
exactly as prescribed and who have
grown steadily worse instead of
better. To each and all such in
ouiries say frankly;that Chiroprc cite
is not magic.> 1t is not infallible. It
makes no pretense of restoring life
when the divine spark has vanished,
and what applies to the body as a
whole is equally applicable to any of
its several parts
If a cell is dead, no power known
than it is possible to substitute a
wooden leg with new one Of flesh
and blood. but with the reservation,
Chiropractic can, and has restored
vitality and function to diseased limbs
and organ long after any other known
system of therapeutics had proven
Inadequate of reaching the root of the
trouble. Therefore. the Chiropracto
can truthfully sa, while there is life
there is hope, and day by day he is
proving it by restoring health to those
who had been given up as hopeless
and incurable.

"PEG O. MY HEART"

Peg o. My Heart" will be the
attraction at the Lyceum theater
next week, commencing Sunday
Matinee, Arril 2, with the usual
Matinees on Wednesday and Satur-
day. AS Mr.. Morosco is Producing
Manager of this famous play, .one
may be sure that he will give a fine
cast and charming staging of it.
That he has picked the members OF
the cast for the fitness, physically
and tempermentally to interpret
their roles, is one of the features
that makes the performance really
worth while. Florence Martin has
been chosen by Manager Morosco to
play the role of "Peg", as he con-
siders her the premier of all
Pegs"
The story tells of Peg, who comes
from America and falls unannounced

traditions. She walks into the Ii

IS. Was handling iron beds and
ran a spur of iron in his hand.
&c. Was driving nail and punc-
tured skin on back of thumb.
81. Got piece of glass from cleo
trio light globe in his finger.
I'm every one of these cases the
accident was trivial in itself, and the
serious consequences could have been
avoided had the proper attention
been given at the time of the &C.
cident. A few moments then would
have saved weeks later, besides the
pain and the expense.
''The department of labor is de-
termined to minimize the number of
infections, if possible, and the factory
inspectors are urging employers to
provide medicine chests or first aid"
outfits for all their establishments.
Particular stress is laid on the need
of them in blacksmith shops, garages
and repair shops where the parts
worked on are rusty and dirty. In
fact, every place where machinery or
sharp tools are used will be urged to
provide means Of disinfection.
1.-The providing of first aid outfits
will not avail, however, unless the
workmen take advantage thereof and
use them. The employers will need
to insist on their men having every
wound, no matter how trivial, treated
at once. In one st. Paul plant the
men who fail to report wounds and
neglect to have them treated are
penalized by a two weeks lay-off.
Some of the larger employing firms
in the state have engaged a nurse to
give first aid treatment, and still
others have had one of their en-
ployes study the subject and require
him to attend to all cases before
sending the injured to a physician
1t is to the employers advantage to
allow time for this treatment. It is
almost criminal on the part of the
workman to neglect to take the treat
ment when it is furnished"
