THE great department stores of the
cities have taken great deal of trade
from local merchants. 1t is accom-
plished chiefly by their advertising.
The local dealer should devise means
to meet this. He can overcome it to
great extent by judicious advertis-
ing and by keeping in touch with his
customers. He can always assure The
buyer by showing him the goods and
explaining just what he will get. The
city merchant frequently sends what
you do not order and what you do not
want.
PEOPLE have an idea that physi
clan is in duty bound TO attend
patient when called, no matter what
the condition or circumstances
This idea, according to recent de
cision of the supreme court of the
state OF Indiana, seems to be errone
Gus. The court holds that it is OPP
tional with physician whether he
shall go or not-that he is not moral
ly or legally bound to 90 unless he
desires to do so. The case is one in
which the doctor was called three
times, but refused to go and the pa
tient died. So it would appear the
doctors, as well as other people, are
their own masters.
