Medical Men in France.

Henri Berenger discourses In. the
Revue des Revues'' more or less pleas
antly, but apparently with authority,
on the Intellectual Proletariat in
France" Here are some of his obser-
vations referable to the medical pro-
fession. There are In the whole of
France, inclusive of Corsica, but ex-
cluding Algeria, between 1900 and
$4,000 practicing medical men, of whom
900 live in Paris. the remainder being
distributed throughout the provinces.
AS regards the metropolitan practition-
ers, the following is the approximate
scale of earnings: Five or six earn be-
tween $4,000 and f12,O00 per annum,
from ten to fifteen earn about $4,000,
100 earn f2,OO0, 300 earn between 600
and Fl, 200, 800 earn between 1920 and
f60O, 1920 earn less than 1920. OF
the 10000 provincial practitioners not
more than half make decent liveIi-
hood. Every year the various univer-
stiles turn out about loo qualified
doctors of medicine. The average dura-
tion Of practice may be set down as
between twenty and twenty-five years.
It follows, therefore, that the produc-
ton is twice as great as the demand.
M. Berenger's statistics may be cor
rect, but apparently he neglecs to make
allowances for the young medical men
who are absorbed each year in the
army, navy, and colonial services. Ten
thousand practitioners for the whole of
provincial France seems, moreover, to
be anything but a liberal estimate, see
ing that the number on the British
Medical Register is at least three times
greater.-Lancet.

A MILK TRUST.
Plan to Control All Shipments Of
Milk to Chicago.

MILWAUKEE (Wis.), Nov. Pit is
stated that John Lefeber Of North
Greenfield, a suburb of this city, is
working in connection with the rumor-
ed milk trust with which Joseph Letter
and the Kee-Chapelle Company of Chi
cago are connected. Lefeber owns "a
large dairy at Waukesha, Wis. and
was engaged in scheme to control the
entire shipment of milk from this sec
tion to Chicago. Milwaukee and Wau-
kesha Counties are among the best
dairy sections in the country and large
quantities of milk are shipped to Chi
-cago daily.
A brother of John Lefeber said that
the gentleman was now in Chicago in

been working on the scheme for the
past year, and that it was not now
nearly perfected. The plan of the trust
is to control all shipments of milk from
different sections Of the country to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Adminis-
tration officials do not expect that the
so-called open door policy will take
an important position in the discussions
of the coming session of Congress, but
believe debate on this matter will wait
on final disposition of the Philippines.
A prominent official to-day said:
THE phrase open door is of limited
application, and has been used only
with reference to the possessions Of Eu-
ropean Powers on the east coast of
Asia. Originating in the treaty of .open'
ports Of China and Japan the words
have been extended to cover ports
which China has leased or surrendered
to foreign Powers. The phrase means
that in such ports the alien Govern
ment has in fact imposed no discrim-
ination in tariff or navigation charges
against imports or vessels of other
countries, but has treated them on the
same plane as it's own imports and it's
own vessels. In other words, foreign
Powers holding Chinese ports by seiz-
ure, or treaty. have merely announced
that they will keep open such ports in
the same manner that China has open
ed certain free ports, to the commerce
OF nations, without discrimination or
favor. The open door policy has been
particularly obligatory, as the reverse
policy would be in direct hostility to
the purpose of civilized nations, stead
lily pursued for years, and concurred in
China, of opening the Asiatic trade to
commerce.
The phrase open door has no peril
nence to the Western Hemisphere and
no relevancy to the West Indies. The
matter has been completely misunder-
stood by foreign newspapers, giving the
phrase an application to this continent.
The United States restricts trade be-
tween American ports to American yes
sells, precisely as the Dominion of Cam
ada restricts trade to British vessels
between Canadian ports Under the
British law any nation which elects to
allow British vessels to engage in it's
coasting trade can obtain the privilege
of entering the coasting trade of Can
ada. The United States has never
availed itself Of this opportunity, hold
ing that the privilege to be granted is
very much more valuable than the priv
Siege TO be obtained.
