IF HE'S SICK HIS DOCTOR PAYS HIM When Samuel M. Vauclain, of Philadelphia, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, is well, he pays his doctor. If he falls sick, his doctor pays him in accordance with a contract which they entered into five years ago. Mr. Vauclain describes his odd arrangement between physician and patient in the November issue of Popular Science Monthly, asserting that it has worked out well in his case and that it is vastly more sensible and logical than the usual system of paging the doctor only for services rendered during illness. In 1913, says Mr. Vauclain, when he was 62 years old, he contracted influenza. It was the first time he had ever been sick and he found the experience unpleasant. During his convalescence, he questioned his doctor regarding the possibility of his becoming sick again, and the doctor assured him that his health was not likely to fall him if he observed certain sanitary precepts. "Very well, then," said Mr. Vauclain. "I'll make a contract with you. Keep me well for ten years, and I'll pay you a flat sum every year, the amount to be increased each year on the assumption that the older I grow, the more difficult it will be for you to keep me well. "On my side, if you will keep me well, I will agree to do everything you say, submit to as many examinations as you wish, follow any diet you prescribe, work as many hours as you say, refrain from work when you advise—I'll put myself entirely in your hands for ten years. But you must keep me well. If I fall sick, you must pay a penalty. I shall make deductions from your annual retainer according to the length of time I am sick. Will you enter into such an agreement with me?" The doctor agreed, and in the five years that have passed since the contract was made, Mr. Vauclain asserts he has not been ill, nor has being under a doctor's care been a hardship. He says he is heavier, stronger and more active than he was five years ago and that his capacity for But you must keep me well. If I fall sick, you must pay a penalty. I shall make deductions from your annual retainer according to the length of time I am sick. Will you enter into such an agreement with me? The doctor agreed, and in five years that have passed since the contract was made. Mr. Vauclain asserts he has not been ill, nor has being under a doctor's care been a hardship. He says he is heavier, stronger and more active than he was five years ago and that his capacity for work seems to be greater. Mr. Vauclain advises everyone to make some similar arrangement with his physician. He declares that a physician could undertake the care of 25 or 30 families for a moderate annual fee, visiting each family once a month and examining and prescribing for its members. As an alternative, he suggests that everyone be physically examined frequently. PASTOR CUTS SMOKES FOR CLEANING FUND TWERTON, Bath, Eng., Oct. 16. —Rev. E. G.

IS SEEING LLOYD GEORGE; HIS FAMILY GENEROUSLY FETE DOMINION PREMIER LONDON, Oct. 16. — One department of the British administration that always functions perfectly and never makes a mistake is that known as the "Government Hospitality fund." Its resources are unlimited, and it aims at—and always gets—the best. The recipients—or perhaps one ought to say the victims—of its friendliness are the colonial premiers at the present time. It is to be hoped that every one of these ministers is able to digest even wrought iron. Because for two months they will be forcibly fed by a mercelless organization. Breakfasts, luncheons, teas, dinners, suppers—from none of these will the unfortunate premiers have a single respite. Not merely will they be surfeited with food, but they will be provided with one continuous feast of oratory. Whether the host be King George, Premier Baldwin, the Duke of Devonshire, or Marquis Curzon, each banquet will be accompanied by its proper allowance of speeches. If at the end of two months the dominions do not entirely grasp the British viewpoint—then it will be their own fault. LOVE IN CHURCH SAYS N. Y. PASTOR SYRACUSE, Oct. 16. — Love-making should be fostered in every church in Syracuse and the art of it taught in the Sunday schools, declares Rev Albert H. Wright, pastor of the Immangel Baptist church. "Courtship is going on in our churches and Sunday schools constantly whether we know it or not," the minister declared today. "It really does not have to be taught to develop, but some guidance should be given in order to have it take the right channels." "Without the spirit of love-making our Christian Endeavor societies would have to close their doors, for there would not be enough young people to sing anything but a solo." Sunday school is the best and finest place to learn.

WHAT love to of 16 in the DIVOT creased REAL BOHEMIA IS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Oct. 16—In addition to its Little Italy, Ghetto and Chinatown, New York has a real, colorful Bohemia, which in every respect outshines or "out-Bohemians" the sham section miles removed from it in actual distance and mode of living, and which is better classified by prefixing "Ho" to the Bohemia. Beginning at Sheridan square, in the lower part of Mauhattan, and extending for a number of blocks east, south and west, is the Bohemia with which most visitors to the metropolis are fairly familiar. This section is all make-believe, a commercial Bohemia to attract the presence, patronage and pennies of the curious and wayward. Its habitues are no more Bohemian than its residents and promoters. It is "Hobohomia." But in the upper East Side, starting at Fifty-ninth street and thinning out in the Eighties, with Third avenue and the East river as its other boundaries, there is a true Bohemia, with its picturesque inhabitants real Bohemians, natives of Czecho-Slovakia—the original Bohemia. An excursion into it is a revelation. There is no mistaking the motley-shawled women, beautifully complexioned girls and oftimes gypy-garbied children. The snops are places of entertainment reek of the cold country." Names are unproounceable tongue-twisters, and the languages spoken are for the most part Czech and Magyar. The younger generation of course is sufficiently americanized to speak English—or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say—speak New York. This bona-fide Bohemia is a delightful slum, clean and intent upon its own business. It doesn't smell of pickles, like the Ghetto; of garlic, like the Italian quarter; or of garage-like both. You can walk round in it without being overcome. NOTED APPLE STALL IN LONDON GONE LONDON, Oct. 16. — A famous landmark for over 100 years has vanished with the disappearance of a tiny apple stall from the front of Lincoln's Inn, the headquarters of London's lawyers. The stall was a family one, and has seen four generations, all of whom used to sit in the same manner, muffled up in winter and summer, but with the death of the last of the line there is now no one to carry on the "business." One of the conditions of their long tenancy was that there should be no shouting to advertise their wares, hence the popular name they received of "the silent old women of Lincoln's Inn."

Ask MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GO UP IN SMOKE ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 16.—Every year $63,260,400 worth of tobacco smoke is sent curling toward the dies from the mouths and noses of Georgia cigar and cigarette smokers, 10 per cent tax assessed on tobacco smokers in this state nets approximately $6,386,040 a year. These figures were compiled by Major C. E. McGregor, commissioner of pensions in this State, who isighting the repeal of the cigar and cigarette tax imposed at the last regular session of the Georgia Legislature. Major McGregor has figured it all and declares there are 264,000 cigar smokers and 548,000 cigarette smokers in the state. Basling his estimate on an average of three years consumed by each smoker, he estimates that 6,576,000 cigarettes are consumed daily.

Her husband was on trial charged with striking her. Mrs. Siekbert had failed to make a "good duck" and was wearing a black eye as a result. "Are you guilty of giving your wife a black eye?" the prosecutor asked Siekbert. "Yes, she failed to duck," Siekbert replied. "Sometimes I can't duck. This was one of those times," Mrs. Siekbert interjected. Judge Woeste gave the husband 50 days in the workhouse in order that Mrs. Siekbert hight have time to practice "ducking." JUDGE SAYS DIVORCE IS NOW ON DECLINE CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—The divorce evil is on the decline, according to Judge Walter P. Steffen, of the court of domestic relations of Chicago. He accounts for this toboganing by saying that young people in this country, as in others, are getting over the mania for hasty marriages. The mania reached its zenith during the world war, he explained, when quite a number of young women married a "uniform" rather than the man inside it, only to discover, subsequently, that her husband, tired in "civics," did not please her. Judge Steffen also reiterated, and that quite emphatically, an old maxim, to wit: "There are few divorces where the tying of the nuptial knot has been preceded by a prolonged and genuine courtship."
