THE DOCTOR BY THE YEAR

That the physician of the future
will work under contract system
was predicted by a speaker at the re
cent convention of the Ohio State
Medical Association. He explained
what he thought was the ideal sys-
tenn Each individual would pay a
yearly tax for sickness insurance"
and the doctors would be remuner-
ated by the state. A stage preceding
this will probably be the hiring Of
physicians by individuals and families
on yearly contracts. The physician
will be paid so much month or year
to keep the patient well. No diminu-
ton will be allowed during health, no
increase during sickness.
It's not very unlike the Chinese
system by which the physician is
paid during the health of the patient,
but his fees are stopped upon the ap-
proach of illness.
This would put stop to the abuses
of the fee system. The doctor wouldn't
starve if his people were WELL nor
would he keep on coming unnecessar-
lily, nor would unnecessary operations
be advised.
This plan is growing In favor among
medical men. DR.. Otto V. Huffman
advised It before n convention in Chi
caEo this winter, and bill for com
pulsory health insurance is to be in
troduced in the Ohio legislature next
winter.

F|REMEN GET
CHECK FROM
RAILROAD CO.
FOR GOOD SERVICE RENDERED
THE SANTA FE, AT SUCCESS
TIoN OF COMM IssloNER, FOR
WARDS CHECK FOR 500.

A few days ago Commissioner Lon
| don wrote to James X. Cottingham
of the Santa Fe railroad calling at
tention to the good work OF the fire
men of this city during the great dis
aster last September and cited in
stances where they made sacrifices
in order to protect the property of
the railroad company.
Tn response to the letter, Mr. Cot.
tingham replied, enclosing voucher
for one hundred dollars, to be dis.
tributed among the firemen by Com
missioner London. In his letter Mr..
Cottingham paid high tribute to the
valor of the tiremen for sticking to
their posts when everyone thought
another explosion was coming, and
stated that it was pleasure for
the railroad company to recognize the
request of the commissioner.
Following is Commissioner Lon
don's letter to Mr.. Cottingham:
"Hon. James h. COttingham,
"Colcord Building,
"Oklahoma City, Okla.
my Dear Sir:
"On behalf of the Ardmore fire de-
partment | wish to call your atten-
ton, and through you the attention
of the Santa Fe Railway management
to the following statements, which
respectfully submit for your consider
alton:
"When the memorable explosion of
September 27, 1915, occurred in the
railroad yards of Ardmore these brave
boys, comprising the Ardmore fire
department, were the first to re-
spond, they called into use their en-
tire equipment and force and remain
cd on the job, risking life and limb,
fighting the flames, cooling the ill
fated and still dangerous oil car that
caused the disaster, thus preventing
rescung the injured, never stopping
for food or rest until the immediate
danger was passed.
"While thus engaged they lost and
had damaged much of their uniforms
and equipment, and one of them,
S. T. Pulliam, was injured to such an
extent as to require his being taken
to hospital, and eventually oper-
ated upon, at cost of $52, not
counting the cost of surgical opera
ton, donated by DR.. W. Hardy, city
"The damage to equipment alone
during the time of this disaster was
equal to at least six months ordinary |
use of same.
"It is not my purpose or desire to
make any formal claim or demand
upon the railroad company on ac-
count of the facts as above stated,
lut rather to suggest that it would |
seem fit and proper that these boys
should receive from the company
some recognition for the noble SER
vices rendered and the sacrifices
made at that time, to say the least.
"A donation to cover the cost OF
reatment of their injured comrade,

Eat Fruit.

Disease germs are ever present in
the mouth, throat, stomach and bow
els. If these germs can be destroyed
by such agreeable medicine as fresh
apples, peaches, pears, grapes. straw
berries and raspberries, blackberries,
currants and other similar fruits, why
should we not partake Of them free

Affection a Heavenly Gift.

How sacred, how beautiful, is the
feeling of affection in pure and guile
less bosoms! The proud may sneer
at it, the fashionable may call it ia
BILE, the selfish and dissipated may
affect to despise it; but the holy pas
sion is surely of heaven. and is made
evil by the corruptions of those whom
it was sent to bless and preserve
Mordaunt.

BIBLE CLASS BANQUET
Broadway Methodist Organization Has
QeliQhtful Lime.

Broadway Methodist Organization Has
Delightful Time.
Thirty members of the Broadway
Methodist business mems Bible class
and few invited guests partici-
pated in the first banquet of the
| class last night at the church, ten
J dered by the wives of the members
of the class. Judge ]. A. Bass, the
director of the class, officiated as
toastmaster and set program was
carried out and thoroughly enjoyed
by all present The Saxophone Sex
tette of the Knights of Pythias gra-
ciously furnished the music, which
was distinct feature of the evening.
The Rev. Rippey of the Texas con-
ference was a visitor and after the
elegant repast, furnished by the Ia
dies, was the first speaker respond
ing to the toast "a Mans job Mr..
Rippey was both forceful and witty
and called attention to the vast num-
ber of men who are now studying
the bible all over the world. He
pointed out that men were now no
longer ashamed to take the bible
as their guide, and it was being
studied more than ever in the his
tory of the world.
"What the Church is to the Com
munity," was o. C. Lasher's toast,
and the acting mayors ten minute
talk was clear and convincing, its
feature being that the progress of
the world was due to the leaven of
the church. and the uplift of the COM
munity was dependent in a material
way altogether on its spiritual ac-
tivity.
w. G. DAWSON was assigned "The
Christian Man in Politics. and he
deplored the inertia of the past on
the part of the average man in poll
tics, but expressed a belief that the
future would see Christian influen-
ces as active in politics as they were
in the other material influences.
Prof. Thurston on age Limit"
made splendid address and to the
point, as with the Creator, "a day
is as a thousand years and thou
sand years day" so the soul filled
with the Christian spirit never grew
old and years as counted in the life
of man were but incident to the
growth of the Christian life.
Roy Alexander was assigned "Our |
Glass" and was reminiscent, pointing
out how some of the same faces of |
today were in his class years ago |
when he first saw Ardmore and he |
extended a cordial invitation to all
visitors to be "one of us"
"Sam Butler gave a Characteristic
to "The Stranger" and made
the humorous hit of the evening
while w. S. Wolverton, one of the
of the church, when asked
what about home for the class,
promised nothing, but suggested that
the class by its own efforts, outgrow
the class rooms of the church, and
so compel an annex, which he thought
would be forthcoming.
The evening was closed by a very
short response to the toast "The
by Pastor Welch, which
was followed by a selection by the
band and the benediction.
Despite the serious themes of the
toasts, the responses without excep-
ton were punctuated with funny stor-
les, which kept all in laughter
throughout and added gist to what
was considered one of the most sue
cessful gatherings ever held in the
church.

RAILROAD ACTIVITY IN STATE

The following two items from the

interest to Ardmore because they in
] dicate resumption of railroad actiVi
| ty in the state.
New Line Contemplated
Construction of a railroad north
west from Oklahoma City to Wood
ward Oklahoma, about 10 miles, Is
| expected, according to report from
the frst-named place. The Rock Is
land system has a line west from Ok
lahoma City about 45 or 80 miles
to Geary, which might be extended
to Woodward some day, but the idea
discussed is for road which would
run directly northwest, following in
general way the north fork OF the
Canadian River The country through
which the line would run Is a grain
and livestock producing region, the
only outlet for these products now
being either to Wichita, Kansas, or
Ft. Worth. Texas. There Is said to
be a strong desire for the proposed
line among the farmers and cattle
raisers, and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, and the Fort Smith & Western
lines are all said to have the plan un-
der consideration, as well as has the

Adam, my son, whatever you do

is about to catch you at something
that you don't want her to know,

body see how it is that women are
always to blame for everything
that goes wrong.
And whatever you do, Adam

thing about women. Go to saying

that women started it, even the
