LONG HOURS A RARITY.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainr1an Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours in train service have
been reduced to a minimum is shown
by report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one en-
| ploye in five on the average last year
was compelled TO remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
in the whole year. Stated in another
way, the chance of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once In five years.
The total number of cases of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 61247 during the
year ending June 80, 1915, as com
pared with 137,439 in 1914 and 270. s27
in 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time a train is so de-
layed by blizzard, washout or 9TH
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence TO the commission,
giving the names of the Individual en-
ployes concerned and a full statement
of the cause for the excess service.
Lf1- ~
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating In efforts to
prevent the keeping Of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
of nearly so per cent. IN such cases
which has been brought about in three
years shows that the working of men
for long stretches of continuous service
has practically disappeared except In
rare cases of unavoidable delay.
Fine encouragement.

pyorrhea dentalis, the worst en-

man that is known.
Other ills of human itv are to
be benefited through this same
important discovery. American
scientists, to whom the credit is
due. have worked out the rela-
,ionship between decay of teeth
and Riggs disease, on the one
hand, and rheumatism. serious
heart trouble and high blood
pressure, on the other.
In the treatment of these fuuc.

is caused by a minute single
celled animal called endamoeb
buccalis. This malevolent para
site does it work in combination
with the pus-producing bacteri
or germs. The skillful teau
work between these two destroy
the delicate membrane whicl
surrounds the roots of the teetl
and causes them to tall out.
Just as soon as the cause wa,
found out, search for cure began
/: had been previously discovered
that the use of ipecac would cure
diseases caused by infection OF
the intestine with endap1oebae.
From this it was deduced that a
similar treatment would cause
the destruction of endamoebae
in the mouth.
This was found to bethe case.

physicians for the cure and pre-
vention of the disease. It some
times takes a considerable time
to get rid of all of the malignant
germs in this way, but the re
suits which have been obtained
have been remarkably good.
The treatment is both local and
general.

Greater Monroe
More Prosperity to be Brought by
the Dairy Industry.

The farmers and business men
are pulling together for a Greater
Monroe and a greater and more
prosperous community. They are
working for bigger dairy enterprises,
which mean more money for this
community. By this method OF
farming, the farmers make more,
money, get it at all times Of the
year and at the same time make
their farms more fertile instead of
impoverishing them. The interest
taken in the dairy meeting Friday,
indicates that the farmers are in
terested. Already there are several
dairy herds near here, and all are
making money. Thus it has been
fully demonstrated that dairying
pays here. Other farmers are get
ting interested and are going to
get into the game, All this spells
a Greater and More Prosperous
Monroe City and vicinity. The bus
iness men of Monroe City are an
xious to do their part toward max
ing this dairying community. The
banquet Friday evening was at
tended by about seventy five far
mers and others interested. Splen
did talks were made by Mr.. Mer-
rill, State Dairy Commissioner Ben
nett, MIR. Griswold. Emmett Alex
aDder and others. J. D. Robey pre-
sided and again proved that he is a
splendid man at the head of the
Commercial Club, which has done
such good work for Monroe City.

Holy Rosary Seniors vs. Alupluae

The basket ball game between
the Holy Rosary Seniors and the
Alumnae, Friday afternoon was an
extremely interesting contest from
start to finish, so well were the
teams matched, and so reliable
were the guards in their work that
the ball was in play several
minutes before a score was regis
tered.
At the end of the first half the
seniors were 4 and the A!umnae 2
During the second half each side
put 2 to their credit, leaving the
score at full time in favor of the
seniors, 6 to a,
No less interesting was the game
that followed, between Mabel

Bees but each willing worker did
her full share to bring home the
coveted sweets. Neither was there
a spectator among the Butterflies.
They played just as well, fitted
about just as much. but somehow
as might be inferred from their
name they could not make their
labor count as we'll in its result.
