and hospital services, medicines, crutches, apparatus, artificial
hands, arms, feet and legs as may be required by the Com-
mission in an amount not to exceed three hundred dollars.
If an employer fail to provide the same, the injured employee
may do so at the expense of the employer. All fees and other
charges for such treatment and services shall be subject to
regulation by the Commission, and shall be limited to such
charges as prevail in the same community for similar treat-

of one hundred and twenty-five dollars. Any bill for funeral
expenses contracted for an amount in excess of one hundred

personal assets of those obligating themselves to pay, unless
and until said bill is approved by the Commission. Provided,

shall make application for same to the Commission within
one year from the date of death, which application must be
accompanied with proof of death and proof of relationship
under this Act, certificates of attending physician, if attended
