NO MORE FREE CLINICS.
For Once the Three Warning
Schools of Medicine Can
Agree.
They Withdraw From Lodge Work
and Giving Free Surgical and
Medical Aid.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broa dway, Nov. 13. !
Free clinics and lodge physicians in
! Alameda County will soon be things OF
the past. The Alameda County Medical
| Society, Alameda County Eclectic Medical
! Society and the Alameda County Homeo-
pathic Medical Society have agreed that
free clinics and lodge physicians have
been used as cloak for quacks under the
color of benevolence, and that the end of
both is public benefit.
The matter was taken up some time ago
by the Medical Society, and com ittee
was appointed to secure the cooperation
of the eclectic and homeopathic schools.
Meetings have been held and the three So
cieties agreed to stand by their agreeme Mt.
The only point remaining to be decided is
the date on which the physicians will
withdraw from free clinics and lodges.
Behind the idea of these free Clinics"
said leading physician to-day, "there are
two motives. One is humanity and a will
ingness to assist the poor and needy. This
is ali right and GOOD thing, but behind
it is the greater motive OF self-aggrandize-
ment. In many cases people come to the
free clinics who need special attention
and the attending physician seeing this
takes the case in hand and charges fee
which goes to his own private account.
''Again. in the practice of lodges to fur
nish medical services there is much that is
wrong. Members pay 50 so or some stated
sum year and are assured the attention
or a physician whenever he is needed.
This IS given to young and mex
perienced man or to one who is not of
enough account to make living in the
world.
The efforts of the physicians will GER
tainly meet with much opposition. The
Ancient, American and Independent
Order of Foresters each has a physician
who receives a certain amount and is at
the call of any sick mem ber. The doctors
are carefully keeping in the background
the names of those who started the move
ment to avoid any individual retaliation.

interior of the county, and the interest
shown in it is only little inferior to that
of last weeks election.
Many of the original members of the
fire company will be there only in the
memories of the generation that have
succeeded them.
When the first company was organic ed

the town, was one of the most active men,

others who are located in surrounding

and doubtless it will be the largest gather

seen in the county.
The arrangements have been placed in
the hands of a committee consisting of
William Pam, John Pam and E. II.
Drew. They have been remarkably sue.
cessful in obtaining prizes with which to
stimulate competition among those who
take pride in devIsing original and hand
some masquerade costumes. Their list
tonight was com pleted and is as follows:
The best-dressed lady will be given gold
ring, generously studded with pearls; the
lady with the most original costume will
be presented with silver toilet set; the
most comically dressed lady is to obtain

There are in Haywards many young ladies
who have scored successes at masquerades
in the past and they are leaving no stone
unturned to add to their laurels in this
direction. Quite a friendly rivalry al
ready exists among the leaders, of whom
are: Miss Lulu Uphoff, Miss Mae Pam,
Miss Ella Horn. Miss Annie May and Miss
