Cheaper Than Animals article in the Kansas City Star gives some interesting facts. We borrow a few of them: Berttx, Dec. 30.—Europe’s poorer classes are mere raw material for vivisection by surgeons and doctors. No ailing poor man, woman or child can be put in a doctor's hands with- amber out the fear that he or she will be dies sacrificed to science by being oper- : ated on for some non-existent com- y for plaint, or inoculated purposely with or al- some disease. So at least says Prof. a Paul Foerster of this city. He is c not backed up by the Austrian doctor, >gue’s Acken. 4 i ‘liant Particularly is that so in university 230 and municipal hospitals and clinics, 2)! in maternity homes and in foundling ill be hospitals. ‘That is no mere accusa- tion of anti-vivisection zealots. The vivisectors confess it themselves. Their medical journals and their books show that all over Europe poor patients, without themselves suspect- ing it, are being tortured and ruined in health in order to increase med- ical and. surgical knowledge. Pro- fessor Foerster says that death often results in hospitals from experi- ments in inoculation and infection. Doctor Acken says that many opera- tions in hospitals of Central Europe are “undertaken merely to satisfy medical curiosity”. The director of the Royal Women’s Hospital admits having inoculated forty aewly pore children with tu- berculin. ‘is experimenter admits yphic that his conscience was afflicted by differ. the vision of “the hectic checks, tremendous rise in temperature and rs that wailing”, All. these were poor how children. he In many European hospitals far- them fetched and ingenious experiments are made, and tremendous suffering in- flicted, merely in order to test vague theories of individual doctors. And the same experiments, according to statements of our own doctors, are going on in America. soft. rich whiskey CA with the flavor ofan old vintage.

Talk with the Repair Man We wouldn't dare ask you to go to the repair man for information about Timken Bearings: and Axles—if we didn’t know that the bearings and axles stand back of us. It would be easy for us to print flattering testimonials of our products—any manufac- turercandothat. Ifhedidn’thavesomeenthu- siastic customers he wouldn't be in busines: So we ask you to get the evidence yourself. ‘We ask you to talk with the one man who is most apt to look on the dark side, the one man who sces motor car at their worst, the exclusiverepair mam, who knows all makes of cara but has the selling agency for none. ‘Ask him —wherever you find him—what he thinks of Tim- ken Axles and Bearings. He knows that any moving part of anything will wear in time— that the goa of the buller is to put off the day of that wear, to correct it in the shortest time, at the lrast expense — ‘without loss of power and efficiency, without waste of gasoline, ‘without annoyance, discomfort and dela He knows which parts of the motor car get the hardest usage, which are apt to wear out quickest, which are easiest to get at, which give the most trouble or the least trouble. ‘Ask him how Timken Tapered Roller Bearings stand up under heavy loads and hard service —up hill and down dale, on the smooth highways and the rough-rutted by-waya, Ask him én what places in the car you are most apt to find Timken Bearings,and why. There's a vast difference, you know, between the light-duty bearing ona fan-shaft and the bearing that's good enough to take concentrated hammering, thumping and general up on the front axle spindle. Then ask him how he finds the Timken-Detroit Rear Axle when the car rolls into the garage. Is it sturdy? Is it simple in design? Are its parts 20 accessible that adjustments and repairs if necessary, can be quickly and economically made? Ask him if ‘Timken Axles withstand the occasional “accident” surprisingly well. If your repair man shows you a fault in Timken design or workmanship you can't do us greater favor than to tell us. The Timken organizations toa man are keen to discover and correct even the slightest errors. The man who points them out is our best friend. ‘We have a notion that you can't go to a better booster for Timken Bearings and Axles than this same practical, hard-headed repair man. But we won't put words into his mouth: For your own direct information and benefit take the next opportunity to talk with the repair man, Afterward, when you want to know more of the mechanics of bearings and axles write for the Timken Primera H-3 “On the Care and Character of Bearings” and H-4 "On the Anatomy of Auto- mobile Axles."

Lots of us would like to know more of the whys and wherefores of such an absorbing fact. Each owes a little over a billion dollars, and the United States gets it at around two per cent., while New York averages five per cent. It would hardly seem as if it were any advantage to our great metropolis to be so close to the financial center of the nation. Such discrepancies are distressing. If it is absolutely necessary for Father Knickerbocker to keep_on borrowing and owing cnormous quantities of moncy, it might be a good idea for him to take a run down to Washington and consult Uncle Sam about the matter, Saving a little on interest should not be beneath the dignity of even so lavish a city as New York. comicbooks.com
