MEDICAL BOARD MERGER
MOVEMENT TO BRING ABOUT INTER-
STATE PHYSICIANS LICENSES.
OmciaIs of Indiana. Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois and Ohio Prepar-
ing Sets of Resolutions.

Indiana has long stood in the forefront
of States that wisely govern the practice
of medicine, eliminating in so far as posi-
bic the operations of quacks and by good
laws prevent abuses. The State Medical
Board. acting with the boards of Mich
igan. Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio. is en-
gagged in the details of a plan for reciprocal
relations, not only with the boards named,
but with all the other state boards in the
country. 1t is proposed to formulate the
details of legislation that will make all
State medical laws harmonious; that will
require from the physicians of one State
observance of the same rules that is re-
quired in another; that will permit accred-
tied physicians to practice in any State
under license they may have received
from another State.
The reciprocity plan originated at meet
ing of the medical boards of Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois and Indiana held in Chi
cago Jan. IL. The Ohio board was TO have
been present, but did not appear. At that
meeting it was decided to have all state
boards present draw up a set of resolutions
expressing individual views in regard to
legislation to be asked for and details of
a reciprocal agreement. The next inter-
state meeting will take place in Chicago
in May and the sets of resolutions will then
be presented and acted upon. The MEM
bers of the Indiana board believe that an
agreement will be reached by the state
boards then to be present and that after
they have completed the initiatOry steps
other State medical boards will fall in line.
The ideal to be achieved is a concert of
all the boards in the country and a ma
tional agreement TO rules governing
practice and limiting abuses.
At the meeting of the Indiana State
Board last night in the Hotel English il
was stated that Indiana's resolutions have
not been completed and are not ready for
publication. They will not be given out,
il is stated, until the next meeting of the
board. The larger part of the boards time
was occupied in the verification of grades
given applicants for license who were eX-

MILITARY FORCE OF JAPAN.
Equipped, Organized and Drilled Like Eu.
rOpean Armies.

rOpean AImleS.
The japanese army is equipped,
organized and drilled like a Euro
pean army and many of its officers
have received their education in Eu-
ropean countries, says the Philadel-
phia Times. Consumption was intro
duced into Japanin 1S74and thereg-
ulations now in force were adopted
in 1883. Every male citizen between
the ages Of II and 40 years owes mil
itary service, which is given three
years in the active army, four years
in the first reserve, five years in the
territorial army and II years in the
national army or the second reserve.
For the year 1901-02 the budget pro-

Of infantry, each brigade composed
Of two regiments Of three battalions
each.
The cavalry comprises II regi-
ments or 81 squadrons. The artil-
lery has 10 regiments or ia field
and mountain batteries. The engi-
neers have at present SS companies
and will soon have 80. The army
service corps has 10 battalions Of two
companies, with one battalion (three
companies) Of railway troops and one
battalion Ghree companies) Of tele-
graph troops. Besides the IS di-
visions Of infantry there are three
regiments of coast guards and two
battalions Of foot artillery and a spe-
eial brigade Of four battalions Of in
fantry, cavalry, artillery and engi-
neers (the Yesso brigade). The ag-
gregate is S,116 officers and 3 1888
men on a peace footing. The war
strength is 392,2 2O men and l.O9s

it is remembered that recent cam

ing with Her.

ing with Her.
Just as a barber in a shop on Eley-
enth street, near Chestnut, had I'm
ished lathering the face Of one Of
his best customers, says the Philadel-
phis Record, a well-known business
man, there swept into the place a
handsomely dressed, young and
pretty woman, who, as she rushed up
to the man with the soap-sudded face,
said:
"Dearie, they told me at the store
that you came here, and, as l have to
hurry to catch the train, l had to run
over here to say good-by."
She ratified this off in one gasp,
and, STOPPING over, she landed a
smacking kiss on the lathered mans
mouth. Wiping the soapsuds off
her lips with her dainty handker-
chief, the woman bounced out, say
ing as she went: Nov, remember,
you must write to me every day.
Good-by."
The barber, in surprise, said:
"Nhy, | didn't know you were mar
RED"
He was more surprised when the
man who had been addressed as
"Dearie' answered: q amt, and,
what's more, l never saw that wom-
an before"
The BARRIERS laughter was inter
rupted by a man who was being
shaved in the next chair, who said:
'1That was my wife,"
Shaving operations were sus-
pended all around until the second
nan could explain. The story was
simple enough. The woman was
going to Atlantic City for a short
stay, and she was to bid her husband
good-by at his place Of business,
which is near the barber shop. Ar
rived at the store, the woman found
that hubby was at the BARRIERS, and,
time being precious, she hurried to
the barber shop to say heradieu.
As the first man she came to in
the place looked, as he lay lathered,
as much like her husband as the hus-
band did himself, the wife naturally
mistook him for her lord and mas
ter.
But why didn't you stop her in
timer" asked the man who had been
kissed.
81 couldn't" was the reply, "be-
cause my barber was working on a
ticklish point on my chin, and if |
had opened my mouth ! would GER
talnly have got cut. But, Of course,
l didn't imagine she was going to
kiss YOU"
The kissed man, as if to console
the husband, said: "But she thought
it was you she was kissing"
The husband, with a chats So"
agreed. After both men had got
out Of their chairs the husband ex-
tended his hand to the man his wife
kissed and, as the two shook, the
husband said: TITS all right; let's
have a drink"
And they went across the street
and had several.
