The La Sale County Medical Society
held its annual meeting at the court
house Wednesday. The principal mat
ter considered, taking up the morning,
was that Of fees.
A splendid paper on this subject
was read by DR.. j. w. Petit, of Sheri-
dan. He said
THE fees Of physicians should be
uniform rather than eXOrbitant. The
people depend upon the physician for
relief, and in return he expects to be
supported by the people. He is a phil
anthrOpist and endeavOrs to DO good
TO his fellow man, no matter how
lowly he may be. This good principle
underlies all his work and gives the
profession standing with all other
professions.
"We must be practical, and are I'M
der obligations to both rich and poor
Instead of being the oppressed the
poor are the OppressOrs. They expect
the physician to work for nothing, as
will be seen by looking at physicians
fee book.
I'VE must insist upon reasonable
fee, and make our clients pay 1T. Some
people think that physician is max
ing $50 to 800 day, when they see
him running to and from his Office.
This is absurd, however, as many
times the physician gets no pay for
his services.
st is an established fact that the
better the article the higher the price.
This is also true as to the physicians
work. The better the service rendered
the higher should be the fee asked.
He who undercharges strikes at the
dignity Of our profession. We should
be fair in our demands and firm in en-
acting our rights. When you make a
price stick to it and success is assured.
"The board of supervisors has
treated the physicians of this county
shamefully during the past few years
and am in favor of employ ing an at
torney to collect our claims"
Doctors Mccoy. Taylor, Palmer
Burke, Dyer, Cook and Others, took
part in IA spirited discussion, which
lasted until o'clock.
The committee on nominations re-
ported as follows: DR.. 10. Stout,
president: DR.. J. w. Petit, vice-presi-
dent; DR.. j. J. Taylor. secretary and
treasurer: Drs. r. p. Cook, Mendoza,
A. T.. Palmer, Morris, and G. w.
Bronson, StreatOr, board Of censors;
Drs J. G. Hathaway, II. III. Trainor
and II. +. Dyer, committee on genera!
arrangements.
The secretary was instructed to cast
a ballot for these officers and they were
declared duly elected.
The illness of Or. Hand, of Morris,
and the absence OF DrS. Ryburn and
Gable prevented the carrying out OF
the program, which included "Asiatlc
Cholera" ''McmbranouS Group" and
"Hernia.' A discussion, however, was
had upon membranOuS Group and
diphtheria, nearly all of the physicians
agreeing that there was very little, If
any, difference in appearance and re-
suit.
Among those present from abroad
were: Drs. Zeising. Peru: j. J. Taylor.
Brunson, j. c. Dreus, A. p, Thatcher,

"'There is need of something more

influences at Joliet are to be over

to place competent man in charge of
the penitentiary in place Of a nOtori-
Gus incompetent, placed there as a
sheer matter of convenience to certain
scheming politicians.

is puzzler, As no buffaloes ever were

The Food of Plants.

| Prof G. Ii. Whltcher OF the n ii, ex

the Massachusetts, Horticultural Society
lecture on the Growth and Nutrition Of
Plants, which presents the subject of fer.
tilizers for plants in a brief and clesr
manner. He says that the work OF the
chemist is indispensable to our knowledge
Of the properties of fertilizers and the
needs of plants. Analysis Of a cornstalk
shows 10 to contain starch albuminoids,
oils, ash and water. These in due proper
ton were exhibited in bottles by Professor
Whicher. An acre at the station yielded
40, 900 pounds of corn ready for the silo
This amount contained 80 $50 pounds OF
water. There is dispute as to whether
plants get nitrogen from the soil or the at
mosph ere; but burn a plant and off the nj
lrogen goes into the atmosphere, whence it
originally came, the plant probably taking
it indirectly through the soil instead Of di.
rectly from the atmosphere. There were
ll3 poun Is OF nitrogen and 643 pounds oil
other solids IN the socalled albnminoids
that are assumed to come from or through
the earth. the air and the water. OF the
carbohydrates, there were 237 pounds OF
fat 2, 400 pounds OF cane sugar 400 pounds
Of glucose, l,3Oi pounds Of starch, and
1925 pounds OF libre-al derived from air
aud water Then there were 408 pounds
OF ash drawn directly from the soil. 1t is
thus male to appear that Of the 10000
pounds of corn on the acre, 80. i79 pounds
