EFFICIENT POWER OF HORSE
Greatest Amount Of Net Power Pro
duced From Feed and Care
Increase the Load.

Remember that the horse produces
the greatest amount of net power from
the feed and care provided when driv-
ing q load at moderate gait, hence
greater and more efficient power and
energy can be secured by increasing
the load rather than the speed of the
work horse.

HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES
Many Firms Look After Better
ment Of Workmen.
Investigation by Uncle Sans Depart.
nent Of Labor Reveals Plans for
Medical Treatment.

A study Of work for industrial bet
terment carried on by employers, Gov.
erlng a large section of the country
and including many firms which are
large employers of labor, was made by
agents of Uncle Sans department of
labor Schedules were taken for 431
establishments, 375 of which, with a
total of 1,2O4,0l0 employees, reported
some provisions for giving medical
treatment. These establishments GOV.
cred great variety Of industries, such
as mining, foundrles and machine
shops, manufacturing of iron and
steel, electrical supplies, automobiles,
furniture, boots und shoes, textiles
and explosives; also steam and elec.
trio railroads, telegraph and telephone
companies, electric light and power
companies and stores.
1t was found as result of the study
that the method Of caring for the
health of employees along strictly
medical lines varies greatly with the
needs Of the industry and the individ.
ual ideas of employers. 1t ranges
from the most simple equipment, con-
slsting Of first-aid cabinets, located In
the office or about the plant, to the
most elaborate and up-to-date emer-
gency hospitals.
This work has grown to large pro-
portions In many Industries because of
the impetus which has been given the
safety movement in the past few
years. AS result of this work in the
mining and iron and steel industry
especially crews Of men are instructed
in the principles and practice of first
aid, and interest Is stimulated and
maintained among the employees by
means of safety-first magazines and
bulletins and by contests among vari.
GUS first-aid teams, for which prizes
are given.
In some cases the day on which
these flrst-ald contests take place Ae.
comes the gala day Of the year foH the
employees and their families. The
participation In rescue and flrstaaid
work Is entirely voluntary on the hrt
of the employees, but each one before
being allowed to enter the work must
have doctors certificate showing
that he is physically fit to undertake
it. -Four to six men are assigned to
each first-aid crew and the course, con.
sistlng of lectures, demonstrations and
drills, is usually completed In twelve
lessons. This training by the COM
pany doctor goes on continually, and
many new crews are added each year.
Rescue crews consist of from five to
eight men who are trained by special
instructors to work with rescue he'll
