While the reasons for Doctor McCoy's agreeing to
the extension Of the s. Rate until November have
been made very clear, and while Doctor Mccoy
himself has been quoted saying authoritatiyely
that although he will live up to the letter of his
agreement, he will under no circumstances consent
to the rate being extended renewed after Novem-
Der i. there is one very important point that is
be constantly borne in mind. and that is this:
That Doctor Mccoy is In sense accommodat ting
his practice to the rate that he Is giving the rate
for the period rs agreed, but he is maintaining
the practice and treatment at the same standard
that IT was under the higher rate.
So. Throughout this period It must he recognized
by all the people who are taking advantage Of the
rate. and by all their friends. and by the public
that Doctor Mccoy is not giving s. treatment
under the s. rate; that 1t is In cheap

tation of which the onices OF his national practice

The day was as different in several re-

Fright sunshine took tie place Of heavy
rain and agreeable warmth was substi-

explained by stating that the program for
today comprised the company, battalion

were teams consisting of from five to six

Precautions for Comfort of Those

Who Sit in Pews.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
When the alternating cool and warm days
come ca in the approach of winter, or in
the same day when there is the alterna-
tive of a frosty morning and a noon hot
In the sunshine. many people hesitate to
build fires IN their houses till the tempera-
ture is permanently lowered In private
dwellings the fires for domestic purposes
have some Influence in keeping up the
temperature and in preventing dampness.
Public buildings without domestic fires
are liable to become cold and damp as the
fall progresses if left without any fires.
This is even more the case with the semi
public churches, whose great audience
rooms are unused most of the week. The
public buildings in this city have had fires
for a good part of the present month.
Many private furnaces have been lighted.
but some churches continue to gather their
audiences in rooms where for two Sundays
past the thermometer has been close to GO
degrees at the opening of service. There
seems to be idea that it will be warm
enough when the people get in" as though
there was no harm in waiting three hours
from the initial service of Sunday school
well toward the benediction of public wor-
ship for a comfortable condition.
The protracted exposure of sitting in such
conditions lowers the tone of the system
and opens the way for colds and serious

children are likely to go out in the bright
sunshine with moderate clothing adequate
for the sunshine. but insufficient when
plunged into the chilly bath of unwarmed
church air.
A DISTINGUISHED physician says that chill
oren are much more likely to take cold in
the cool fall and spring. when adults do
not appreciate the ned of fire, than even
In colder weather. He urges proper cloth
ing and a temperature maintained as near

these fall and spring colds especially con-
nected with diphtheria-
1t requires but little fire to ward off the
chilliness in private house. A fire once
built Will often warm the walls, take out
the dampness and leave the furnace and its
setting to give of a gentle influence for
days. II would be in the interest of church
attendance if the notices for such churches
as had a warm welcome for the people
would have warm church" inserted till
November. when we expect regular fires.

My deafness began three years ago, in the left

Last winter the hearing in my right began
to fail, and as 1t was growing gradually worse,
believed that 1t would la re become as bad as

My left ear WAS very deaf; when my right car
was closed could not hear a sound with it. no
matter how loud.
Il suffered terribly with my head. There was a

To County Taxpayers.

The affairs af our county have
gotten to such proportions that
the Legislature must be called in
to adjust matters, and why is it
thusY We can only reason that
it is for want Of financial ability
at the head Of the county affairs.
From all reports that have been
made, the county owes less than
$4,000. 1t is known that there
is 100000 worth of taxable
property in the county, hence a
small calculation will show that
less than one half of one per cent
on this amount will pay this in
debtedness at this time, and no
one feelit. Now a retrospectio n
of affairs will show that the man
agement of the county affairs, has
been controlled largely by war
rant holders or pie hunters.
We will run back along the
lines and see if we cannot locate

agent placed about the court.
