This does not take into account mucn

more insurance company statistics
show that SO per cent of the Insured

10 Patients Days Work.
1T is impossible for a doctor prop
erly to look after more than 16 pa
tents in eight work hours. At pre-
vailing fees this just about pays eX-
penses.
The only objection mustered
against compulsory sickness insurance
by those who have investigated its
workings in Europe is the danger OF
malingering or collision to get the
sick benefits. We could meet that OBJ
lection by having no cash benefits but
by simply providing the services of a
doctor.
L have talked with wage earners
and they agree that sick benefits
should be left to private companies.
They feel that if by paying 50 year
against doctors bills, they would be
safeguarded against the greatest bur-
den that they have to fear.
Compulsory Insurance.
Under compulsory insurance we
would be paid to keep our clientele in
sound health, and 1t would be against
our interest to have sickness occur.
When the medical profession is
paid to prevent sickness and is a loser
when anyone becomes sicl-the day
of the quack and the chariatan will be
past.
Under compulsory insurance we
could give freely without being ac-
cused of wishing to advertise our
selves. We would be rid of the fee
splitting sin: consultations could be
held without any hinderance. Our
clientele could seek our advice freely

NOT AN EiGhT-HouR LAW.
Recent HoId-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday q
Minute.

As a matter of fact, it is not
an eight-hour law at all. It does
not curtail the trainmen's work
day by q single minute. # an
engineer has been receiving IS
for working ten hours a day, this
law will raise his pay to 1925;
but 1t will not shorten his work
day even the tenth part Of a sec

chalk is like cheese.

this an eight-hour law is be-

Marcus Randolph had been born
under a sinister star and ''hoOdoO"
had attached to him. At least, the
impression was conveyed to him as
soon as he was old enough to realize
that the fates had placed him in the
world at a most unfortunate con-
junction Friday, the thirteaGth.
He was educated to belize him
, self a ''hOodoo." The results of nat
Ural bOyish mischieVousness were
grossly exaggerated on account of
the fatality supposed to attach to
person unlUcky enough to be born on
Friday, the thirteenth. AS he grew
older he was quite superstitious, I'M
til one memorable birthday, which
came not only on the unavoidable
thirteenth, but also upon the Cyclical
Friday, when he found a pocketbook
with 81, 900 in it. Mentioning the fact
to his employer, the latter told him
that ''the curse was removed" and
that he had better invest the money
in stock of the company for which
he worked. The next day, however,
the same individual scowlingly as
serted that the i'll luck would follow
Marcus all of his life, as he had
scorned the oracle by finding the
owner of the lost money. Marcus
was modest and humble, however.
He smiled broadly and was grateful
and felt rich to receive $40 for his
honesty.
And now Marcus was %, travelling
for a building material house and
making a fair living. It was his birth
day, and with a queer culver Marcus
realized that the fateful conjunction
of Friday and the thirteenth had
again come into his experience.
