Bere Pipe Thing N osteopath was arrested in New York the other day because one of his patients died, and even the Su- preme Court interested itself in get- ting at the facts of the case. To this we voice a hearty amen, if applied to all schools, The idea ought to be adopted generally. Patients are dying under treatment of all kinds of doctors every day, and we have got into the very bad habit of assuming that death was caused by something else besides what the doctors did. This must have had a tendency to encourage the med- ical gentry to recklessness, but, at any rate, we have gone on sadly burying the mistakes of physicians and sur- geons without the slightest effort to investigate them and hold the erring practitioners responsible. When a man dies under treatment, surely the burden ‘of proof ought to rest upon somebody else besides the patient.

J YOU CAN'T PUT MY NOSE OUT OF JOINT { One of themany Federal trouble-trucks in use by the Bell Telephone System It Takes More than Money To Buy a Federal Here are four cardinal points of the Federal sell- ing policy, adopted as much for our own protection as for yours, 1. You cannot buy a Federal unless you can use it profitably. We will investigate your haulage prob- Jem and your present costs. The investigation must demonstrate conclusively—to your satisfaction and ours—that there is a saving in cost or @ gain in effi- ciency, or we will not sell you a truck. 2. You cannot buy a Federal unless we are per- mitted, through our Tra‘fic Department, to suggest any necessary readjustment of your routing or hauling arrangements designed to promote greater effective- ness, 3. ‘You cannot buy a Federal unless we are pre- pared, through proper co-operation in your locality, to render you the most efficient service after purchase —for without such service you would be handicappec from the start, } 4. You cannot buy a Federal if © larger o smaller unit would better fit your business, In tha case we will frankly tell you 80. ‘Thousands of Federal trucks have been sold ot | this basis; and cach year sees a steady increase in ow ‘output. We have made a special study of traffic prob |] lems in many lines of business—yours, probably |f among them. ‘We would welcome an opportunity to investigate without obligation on your part, whether or not you can use motor-trucks profitably. | ‘The investigation will be thorough, fair anc conclusive. ‘Write us to-day. Public Utility Corporations Find Much Greater Efficiency in the Federal A large number of Federal trucks have been installed by public Corporati ‘wagons, as well as for general uses, M. of these installations were made after a thorough investigation which demonstrated to the satisfac- tion of the buyer the inherent superiority of the Federal in the elements of durability and depend: ability. ‘We have some interesting facts and figures along this line.

Isn't oratory too full of potentialities to be allowed thus 102 Leavitt Ave., Detroit, Michigar | Regulating Oratory is being done about regulating oratory Anyone who glances at the Congressional Record, or other organ of oratory, can see at once that Shall to languish? This 1s not the place to go into the subject exhaustively, but, above all, oratory should be stirring, and that is exactly what modern oratory is not. The matter has perhaps gone too far for mild correctives. An oratorical committee with large powers should be appointed, and if anything is discovered which is in restraint of oratory, it should be promptly proceeded against under any law that might be handy,
