Rent Law Special Legislation.

The rent law passed by a special
session of the legislature last year up
on a demand of the then Gov. Il. L.
Philip was held invalid upon uncon-
stitutional grounds by the Wisconsin
supreme court Justices ]. j. Vinje
and Walter Owen dissented. Justice
Christian Doerer took no part in the
decision. The tribunal in it's decision
announced that an opinion would be
filed later The decision of the court
will result in the closing of the rent
division of the railroad commission.
The law was held invalid on the
ground that it is special legislation.
it being of kind which under the
circumstances was deemed applicable
to the people generally. 1t was held
by the court that no classification as
made by the legislature in applying
the law only to Milwaukee can be
made under the Wisconsin constitu-
ton. The original bill as recommend
ed by Governor Philip makes the
measure apply. to all the state. The
assembly amended it to affect only
Milwaukee and the senate was forced
to accept the amendment. The SUI
preme court held such limitation un-
constitutional. The action was
brought brought before the tribunal
by the Milwaukee Sales and Invest~
ment company.

Changes IN Compensation Law.

manages IN SofuPChSAstSH -aWs
Many important changes In tho
workmen's compensation law of the
state are now pending for considera-
ton before the Wisconsin legislature.
The assembly has passed the Sachtjen
bill for increasing the amount Of COM
pensation. This bill proposes to In
crease the maximum weekly wage
basis from, $3.50 to $50 per week.
The maximum compensation payable
would thereby be increased from
S14.63 to $1,000 week. The change
would increase the cost under COM
pensation law by 10 per cent. The
bill has been passed by the assembly
but has not yet been acted upon by
the senate. The assembly killed the
Schafer bill which makes it COM
pulsory for an employer to maintain
reasonable panel of physicians from
which an employee may select doc
tor in case of injury. The senate
passed bill changing the waiting pc
Rod. Under the present law the wait
ing perion is seven days but If the
injury extends beyond four weeks
compensation is payable from the day
of injury. This bill provides that, If
the disability extends beyond three
weeks, compensation is payable from
date of injury. Another bill pending
in the assembly proposes to eliminate
the waiting period entirely. If the
legislature should pass this bill, Wis
consin would have the only compensa-
ton law in the country with no wait
ing period. The insurance men esti-
mate that the bill will increase the
cost of compensation at least IL per
cent.

The Sport
of Doors

One of this country's prominent
physicians recently probed into the
question why men smoke.
He turned deaf ear to glib preIu-
dices and to accepted but half-thought-
out notions. He based his conclusions
upon a careful study of the use of to-
bacco by our men during the War.
He diagnosed smoking as being
clearly a diversion, which helped
rather than interfered with mans
performance of his duty.
Smoking is not vicious practice
but happy sport. If it were not, this
expert declares, men would long ago
have begun taking "My Lady Nico-
tine" in the form Of pills or tablets.
That's straight to the point. A man
lights up his pipe for a little relaxation,
not to interfere with but to improve
his work.
He feels in need Of moments let
up which will add to his power. !.
\ Back he throws himself in the most
comfortable position in the old chair;
he scratches his match slowly, care

"What was that had to do?" he
asks himself. He plans how best to
do it.
A good smoke-a good sport. A
good sport-a good doer, when things
have to be done.
Smoking is the sport of doors.
Of course, a good smoke depends
greatly upon having just the night
tobacco.
We recommend Edgeworth to you
as a tobacco that has pleased many
but not all smokers.
1t may please you beyond words. 1t
may not.
We would be very glad to have you
pass judgment upon it.
Just send US your name and address
on a postcard. If you feel like doing
us favor, send us also the name of the
dealer to whom you will go for sup
plies, in case you like Edgeworth. We
will send you without charge samples
of Edgeworth in both forms-Plug
Slice and Ready-Rubbed.
Edgeworth Plug Slice comes in fiat
cakes, cut into thin, moist slices. One
slice rubbed between the hands fills
the average pipe.
Edgeworth Ready Rubbed is SIM
ply the same tobacco, rubbed up,
ready to go into your pipe.
You're likely to notice how nicely
Edgeworth packs. That means that it
burns evenly and freely.
Edgeworth is sold in various sizes to
meet the requir ements of many differ
ent customers. Both Edgeworth Plug
Slice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed
are put up in pocket-size packages, In
attractive tin humidors, and glass jars

The medical practice bill is dead.
This bill was aimed at the chiroprac-
tors of the state and reconsideration
of the vote by which 1t was killed
was refused, 40 to 40. The chiroprae-
tors of the state objected to this
measure because they claim that 1t
provided for medical board without
any representation of their profession,
to pass upon the qualifications of
chiropractors.
