PEOPLE STILL FALL DOWUUVENYET
Others Get Hurt By Automobiles and In Mines—Compensation Law Report.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 21.—The workman's compensation law, one of the most popular and practically beneficial laws for both employer and employee on the statute books of Indiana, Is each month being subscribed to by a greater number of employers, these now being much above 40,0001 Other states continue to send representatives to study the operation of the Indiana law because it is by far the most economically handled, at the same time it Is the most speedy in reaching settlements of Vny state in the union and so acknowledged by other boards.
The report for the month of May, which has just been completed, shows 8,387 accidents reported. Of these 1,497 were kept from work less than fourteen days, receiving no compensation, while 81 were for 21 days, 63 over 21 days and 1,668 have not reported duration. Over 91 per cent, of the reported cases were for less than 14 days. Of the total number of men injured 21 were under 16 years, 388 under 20 years, 1,275 under 30 years, 794 between 30 and 40 years, 90 over 60 years, and 6 over 70 years.

Not being content with haying the most thoroughly equipped Chiropractic office in the state, Thomas & Thomas, Seventh and Walnut streets, have installed an X-ray machine, that their patients may have the benefit of the most thorough analysis to be had. Heretofore all analysis of the spine to locate the subluxated vertebrae which were causing so-called disease, was determined by palpation, or by nerve tracing with the operators' finger tips. This process is highly satisfactory in the majority of cases, but perhaps once out of many cases the subluxation is so complicated that an accurate reading is impossible. In such cases the X-ray machine, producing a photograph of the subject's spine, is the only reliable method of securing a correct analysis. During the last three years Thomas & Thomas have been sending their patrons to the Palmer Fountain Head School of Chirapractic, Davenport, la., when an X-ray photograph was necessary. This proved to be an expensive measure and was not always feasible. With their patrons' welfare ever in mind—for the possible one out of many patients who may need such service—Thomas & Thomas have gone to this enormous expense, installing an X-ray machine. And it is for their patrons' welfare and for no other reason that this step was taken. From a basis of

Thomas & Thomas, With the Welfare of Their Patients Ever in Mind, Install Powerful X-Ray Machine, Which Is of Latent Design, Unsurpassed By Any In United States
WHAT OUR NEW X-RAY MACHINE MEANS TO OUR PATIENTS IN REGAINING THEIR HEALTH
profit an X-ray machine is not a paying investment. The charge for the service is so nominal that it will take many hundreds of cases to even repay the investment. And only one out of many cases will need an X-ray picture.
The X-ray, which is admitted to be the greatest electrical invention of the age, enables the operator to penetrate the flesh with the powerful electrical rays and watch the organs perform, their functions or make photographs of any bone in the body. With the aid of their X-ray machine Thomas & Thomas can ascertain precisely what vertebrae are subluxated and are causing bodily disease.
Mrs. F. V. Thomas recently returned from the Palmer Fountain Head School of Chiropractic, Davenport, la., where she took a post graduate course in spinography—the science of taking X-ray photographs of the human spine. There is a course of spinography included in the regular studies at the Palmer school, but Mrs. Thomas took the post-graduate course in order to get the fullest understanding of the science. The spinography course also embraces the science of reading the X-ray photographs.

CALIFORNIA MELONS ARRIVE ON MARKETS
Crop Said to Be Best State Has Ever Had—Fniit Also of Excellent duality.
The California crop of fruits and melons has been very good this year, especially the melons, according to the reports of Joseph Diekemper and Son, of this city. Many of these products are already on the markets of the central states and the heavy movement in California will probably be this week, putting the supply on the markets of this locality about two weeks later, the shipping requiring about 14 days.
This year's melon crop in California is the best that the state ever had and the prices are already getting reasonable, as the big shipments start east. The melons are excellent in quality and abundant in quantity.
The crop of late "Valencia oranges in the "Goiden State" is also said to be the best the state ever had bjit the prices have remained high owing to the big demand for this fruit. The crops of the other varieties of oranges also have been excellent and the demand for the fruit heavy.
Apricots, plums, peaches and pears from California are already on the market, with the heaviest shipments to start on the west coast within a short time. The general quality of all of these fruits is excellent but the prices are remaining a little higher than usual. The grape fruit season is about ovet in California.

URGES CREDITORS TO FILE OIL CO. CLAIMS
Receiver James S. Royse Indicates That Terre Haute Concern Will Not Be Continued.
On account of the present oil prices and the condition of the financial affairs of the Terre Haute Oil and Coal company, which has been operated by the Terre Haute Trust company since April 4, when the concern was placed in the hands of a receiver, efforts are being made to dispose of the property to prevent a greater shrinkage in the value of the equipment and stock on hand. The property includes buildings and tankage on leased ground at Terre Haute, Vincennes, Linton, Cayuga, Plainfield and Chrisman, 111., and some real estate in Homer, 111. The rejj.1 estate has been appraised at $6,325 and the value of the other property including horses and wagons brings the value of the property to $67,426.23, while the liabilities of the company are $280,488.91.
Calls On Creditors.
James Royse, president of the Terre Haute Trust company, receiver, has sent out letters to the stockholders asking their co-operation in his efforts to dispose of the holdings and urging them to send in their claims as soon as possible. He said Wednesday that it had been found impossible to sell the property at the appraised value and in order to dispose of it. a slight discount would have to be given to prevent further shrinkage in its value.
On account of the nature of the property he said that the shrinkage is very great as the equipment is practically no value to any one not engaged in the same line of business which the company fias been in. The Terre Haute property is tfce largest of any of the plants and isjjgpcated on leased/ ground at Mrst and sn streets. It comprirfSs siviral

Mr. Royse said that he was unable to give a solution for the conditions but he s^id that it appeared from the books that the overhead expense caused by the various plants being located at such distances from one another had bankrupted the company.
On account of the fact that a part of the holdings are located in Illinois the Terre Haute Trust company could not be named receiver for the entire concern, but W. J. Conway was named ancilliary receiver for the Illinois prop
