MACHINE COVER AND CHAIR.

Can Bt Quickly Removed from Machine and Folded Into Chair. A unique device recently patented by a New York man is an attachment

for use in covering the operating parts of a sewing machine and having combined therewith means whereby the base of the cover serves as a sui* port for a chair, which can be used by the operator of the machine when the cover is removed. As shown in the Illustration, the cover Incloses the machine when the latter Is not in use, the seat and back of the chair folding In front The cover thus occupies but a minimum space, and as the chair portions extend downward behind the machine they do not detract from the appearance of the machine or interfere with its free movement from place to place. When It is desired to use-the sewing machine the cover Is removed and the parts folded to form the chair. The base of the cover forms a support' for the chair, hooks holding the - back in a vertical position.—Washington Star.

TO PRY OFF BOX SIDES.

Implement with Pivoted Lever for Readily Forcing Off Cover. An exceedingly simple Implement for forcing open the lids of wooden boxes is shown in the illustration below, the invention of an lowa man. It comprises a long, flat metal blade of gradually increasing thickness from its front to its rear end, the latter extremity being the handle. Pivoted adjacent to the handle is a lever, which

swings in the plane of the flat surface of the blade. In operation the blade is forced beneath the box lid, and with the aid of the lever the operator Is enabled to pry off the lid with a minimum amount of effort. When not in use the lever can be swung around to register and conform with the outline of handle, the implement when so arranged occupying but little space and being easily carried. —Washington Star.

Anchor for Small Boats.

A very simple, neat and serviceable anchor for small boats, such as row boats, small launches and sail boats, can be made as follows: Procure an ordinary granite cobblestone, in the center of which drill an inch hold. Next get a four or five inch ring bolt, according to the thickness of stone (mine Is five inches). On the bottom of the stone cut around the hole large enough so that the will be countersunk when bolt is screwed in. I need this sort of anchor on my last summer’s vacation, and found it much better than the clumsy anchor with which most of the small boats the ©Quipped. I made a frame large enough for the stone to fit In when not in use. This frame was before the mast and prevented the stone from rolling.—H. J. Germain, In Recreation.

The Higher the Safer.

“The higher you are the safer you are in cross-country flying," says Mr, Drexel, who never feels comfortable flying across country in England at a height 6f under 800 feet When Mr. McArdle flew homeward from Bournemouth he lost his way in the air through oil flying from his motor into his face and forming a film over his eyes without his being aware of the fact at the time. He imagined himself to be in a dense mist until he bathed his face in hot water, and so cleared his eyes. The only two foods Which contain aH the substances necessary to hnman life are said to be milk and the yolk of eggs. A man can live in health on these two floods. There are several places, in London where preachers can buy sermons printed, They cover all subjects, and ■am tfir htff wr wfurjr season.

RAILROADS' CLAIM FOR HIGHER RATES

(Continued from first page.) Institution in the matter of rates and service, but a private enterprise so far as profit and loss is concerned. You gentlemen are engaged in various kinds of mercantile business. Let us suppose your patrons had the right to tell you what service you must render*, what quality of goods you must sell and at what price you must sell them. What would you do? You would either go out of business or go into the hands of the sheriff. That is precisely the position of the railroads, except that they cannot go out of business. Some of them have gone into the hands of the sheriff. Others have had to borrow money with which to operate their properties, and I am telling no secret when I tell you that they have borrowed Up to the limit of their credit. Within the past year we laid our case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, presenting facts and figures, and that body, after an exhausting examination into our affairs, rendered a decision, and if you will bear with me a moment I want to read you one paragraph of that decision: "The reduced earnings on passenger traffic were caused largely by reductions which the carriers were compelled to make in their passenger fares in Ohio, Indiana, .Michigan, Illinois and in other states, under local legislative action. The returns made by ten of the roads, representing only a portion of the mileage in what is kr.own -as central freight association territory, show that during the period from 1906 to 1913, inclusive, there was an estimated loss of nearly $18,000,000 in revenues due to state legislation, under which those carriers were compelled to .iiake substantial reductions in their local pasesnger fares with accompanying reductions in their interstate passenge'r fares. ‘The traveling public is giving expression to its demands for better service, better accommodations, and for the adoption by carriers of all the devices that make for safety. A public that demands such a service cannot reasonably object to the payment of a reasonable compensation therefore.

During the hearing of this case before the commission Mr. Louis D. Brandeis, attorney for the commission, in an oral argument on April 30th and May Ist, said, with respect to passenger service: “The east of operation of passenger train service is so great as to leave nothing whatever for profit. This increased cost has come largely through, increased wages, and with the introduction of steel ears you are carrying 50 per cent more dead weight to every passenger than you carried before. AH of the other expenses are similar. The electric light, the ventilation, sanitation and all of those things which we hiive and which we ought to have, cost money, but there has been nothing to counterbalance 'that increase in the cost of operation which comes from the increased wage and from governmental regulations in tne aid of safety to humanity. It is just what we should have expected. And there -is the expensive Pullman service. Prosperity brings more use for Pullman ears. Prosperity brings not only more use of Pullman cars, but a greater use on the part of each passenger. Every time a mpn t»kes a section instead of a berth and it is necessary to put on another Pullman, and every time you substitute a steel Pullman for a wooden Pullman you are adding, more to the railroad’s expense.” Please bear in mind, gentlemen, that Mr. Brandeis was attorney for the commission, not attorney for the railroads.

After hearing our case and rendering this decision the Interstate Commerce Commission permitted the railroads to raise their interstate rates to basis of two and onehalf cents a mile. Those rates have been placed in effect. The rate from this city to Chicago is two and one-half cents a mile, but under the Indiana law the rate to Hammond is two cents-- a mile. Either the Chicago rate is wrong or the Hammond rate is wrong. They can’t both be right, because the service performed in each case is the same. Either* we are cheating the man who buys a ticket to Chicago, or the man who 'buys a ticket to Hammond is cheating us. the interstate Commerce ‘Commission made a mistake in fixing the rate at two and one-haM cents a.mile, or the Indiana legislature made a mistake in fixing the rate at two cents a mile. I leave it to you gentlemen to judge which pf these bodies is the more apt to be correct, the Interstate Commerce Commission who made a painstaking and comprehensive investigation In|o the matter, or the Indiana legislature, who made no investigation. We are not asking the legislature to give back all they took away. We are only asking them to give half of it back, and we believe you gentlemen should be interested in seeihg that we get it back. We believe that every business man. in Indiana, everyTarmer hri -Indiana and every" man in Indiana, no difference what |

PHYSICIANS SYSTEMATIZE A PART OF THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE PROFESSION.

The-Medical Society Will Maintain a “Won’t Fay" Claes List. It has been an axiom from time immemorial that physicians is a class are poor business men. This has become so from one or all of the following reasons; First, their energy and time is entirely consumed with patients. Secondly, the laws are enacted by lawyers who forgot to make definite provision for the collection of medical accounts. Thirdly, a great many clients have a habit of paying the grocer, the baker and the candlestick maker and then if a little money is left and no plaee dee is found for it they pay a little on account at the doctor's. And fourthly, most physicians do not'enter medicine as a commercial business and therefore neglect that side of the profession. Rensselaer and vicinity is an up-to-date neighborhood anid among other things demands .well trained physicians, and right it should—but the attendance at medical meetings, literature and office equipment, post-graduate courses and .numerous other things require a constant drain of cash. Every physician has four classes of patients, judged financially, namely: Patients whose accounts are collectable. Patients whose accounts are not Collectable by law but good through the honesty of the person. Charity patients who are accepted and fully understood as

mien. • Patients whose accounts are not Collectable and who are perfectly willing to beat a medical bill. This last class is the one that has always required considerable attention because they wifi call one of the newer physicians and get a credit established paying promptly for a while; then they begin to pay only a part and finally when the main bill gets large they hunt up a nerw physician again and iso on. It is this class of accounts that the medical society is no wattempting to regulate. Therefore, the Society issues this notice through the press that on and after March Ist, 1915, a list will be kept by the society Of such clients who in the judgment of the physician handing such names to the Society, can but will not pay. Such list will be corrected, at each monthly meeting and only the physicians will have access to the list. This action will operate on the medical profession In this way, that no physician can respond to a call from any one on the list. It Will operate on this class of patients in that they will either ap peal to the township trustee for a physician ; or settle their medical bill. This measure will in no way affect true charity patients, for each member of the Society has a certain number of worthy patients •who cannot pay and he; knowing them to. be such, will gladly con tinue to care for them. All physicians of ‘Renaselawr have signed such an agreement.

Kramer, of Chicago, who owns a farm of 160 acres near Gifford, was here today to visit his tenant, George Snow. „ Did you see the candle in our window? How long will it burn? BOWEN & KISER. Dean Merita was over yesterday from Francesville to see Mrs. Merica, who has been at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.v W. H. Beam for several days. Mrs. Merica is planning a visit to Oregon to see her sister, Mrs. Trevor Wilcox. Mrs. Charles H-armop, of Indianapolis, has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Brown for several days and Mr. Harmon was here ovej- Sunday. They plan to change their residence to Evansville shortly. Mrs. Harmon went to Indianapolis today to remain a day or two.

his business, should 'be. interested in seeing that/we get it -back. We believe the two cent passenger fare law is a contributing cause to the present hard times, and we believe to repeal that law will go a long way toward restoring prosperity in this country. We would like to'have you gentlemen adopt a resolution favoring the two and one-half cent rate, and we would like to have you send that resolution to your representatives in the general assembly and request them to vote tor it. It le of the utmost importance that this rate be granted at the present session of the ligislature. It would be a great misfortune to the .railroads it put over to some future session.

Edward'F.

Engle of Francesville, were business visitors in Rensselaer yesterday. “You have a fine town here and I always like to visit it,” remarked (Mr. Bledsoe, and the editor swelled up a little. Then he continued, “If you had an interurban railroad you would double your population in a short time.” This is nothing exactly new, but shows that our neighbors understand our needs as well as we do ourselves. Don’t forget to guess bow long the candle will burn at Rowen & Kiser’s. E. N. Rawlings, traveling salesman (for the Winger-Blume manufacturing company of Wolcott, was a Rensselaer visitor yesterday. This company manufactures a washing machine called ‘The King,” which, will “cleanse, rinse and ring” according to their advertising. It was started in a small way in that town several years ago and has proven a splendid success, notwithstanding it comes into competition with numerous other kinds of washing machines. It is the small concerns that develp and grow with a community. It's free. What? The guess on the candle at Rowen & Kiser’s.
