News comes from Attica, Ind, Of the de-
structon, by fire, of the big laboratory and
Office building OF the Sterling Remedy Com
pany, makers of Cascarets Candy Cathartic
and No.To-Bac, the original guaranteed to-
bacco habit cure. The fire broke out in ono
of the packing rooms on the third floor dur
ing the noon hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before IL was discovered
As soon as il became apparent that the
fire department would have difficulty in
combating the flames, the work Of saving
the thousands of valuable documents, con-
tracts, files, millions of booklets and tons
Of advertising matter was begun with the
utmost energy. The Sterling Remedy Com
pany is the principal industry OF the beauti.
ful little city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated with
the Indiana Mineral Springs, the famous
Magno Mud Cure. Hundreds OF men, wom-
en- and children Wed with each other IN car
rying the contents of the burning building
TO places Of safety
Meanwhile the proyerbial energy and
and presence Of mind of General Manager
Kramer, of the Sterling Remedy Company,
was displayed. He quietly walked away,
and secured a big show room near by, and
had all the office furniture, charred and di-
lapidatcd as IL was, taken there. Before the
boxes had ceased burning, in which the fire
originated, orders were being dictated in
the make.shift Office for new supplies, and
car loads of material were ordered by wire
while the streams were still playing on the
ruins. Several shipments were made the
same evening from goods saved, and ON Fri.
day morning, all departments were at work
in various rooms about town, while a gang
OF men were cleaning away the wrcckag0

A QUESTION OF ETHICS.
Why DIR. LeHardy Doesn't Attend the
Medical SOcIety's Meetings.

Health Officer LeHardy differs with the
president of the Georgia Medical Society,
In the latter's statement of the reasons
for DR.. LeHardy's non-attendance upon
the meetings of the society.
"Dr. Stone did not property state the
difference between myself and the So
ciety," said Dr. LeHardy yesterday. Il
have not attended the meetings of the
medical society for some time for the rea-
son that at the last meeting 1 attended
a member of the society was permitted to
trample upon the rules and ethics Of the
society, as well as upon the ethics of the
American Health Association, in which he
was upheld by the society. I announced
that l would not attend another meeting
of the society until its action upon this
matter had been reversed"
Dr. LeHardy was president of the So
eiety for several years, and was one of
its most active members up to the time
of the incident to which he refers
As to the matter CT vital statistics, DR..
LeHardy said that lac is fully determined
to enforce the ordinances upon the sub
Ject. One of the ordinances requires ply
scians and midwjves to report all births
OF infants at which they have assisted
within five days. after their occurrence
1t VIII be very easy matter to appre-
bend those who fail to comply with the
ordinance, DIR. LeHardy said and in each
and every instance the offender will be
placed upon the docket. A complete rec
ord will be kept of all births reported
Whenever a death of an infant is re-
ported, and the number of deaths among
infants is very large, the record will be
referred To and If the birth of the in
FAINT has never been reported the case will
be investigated. AS a permit from the
health officer is required before any in
terment can take place it will be an easy
matter 20 keep up with the deaths of in
fants.
