Overcrowding of the medical profes.
sion in Germany is a matter of grave
concern. There are now in the empire
$500 physicians, which doubles the
number found in 1876. In other words
there is one physician in Germany foI
every 100 inhabitants. In the city OF
Berlin 46 per cent. of all the physicians

five per cent. of the whole number dc

w. G. II. U. RuMMAGE SALE.

The Christmas rummage sale of
the w. G. T. U. opened today in the
building formerly occupied as
Greene's clothing store on upper
State street, south of William.
At the, sale there are quantities of
goods of all descriptions. Newly
dressed dolls at nominal prices are
on sale and the affair has more the
aspect of a Christmas bazaar than a
rummage sale. Early this morning
the buyers were on hand, for a rum
mage sale is always an attraction for
the mothers of large families, and
many articles readily disposed of.
More goods will be added from time
to time, and the sale continued for
several days.

with pen n black ink while tn lines

inserted in red with a ruling pen. The

shows how easily the most insiyni-

BARGAIN DAYS.

Pasadena (Cal) merchants have
been successful in the inauguration OF
special bargain days in which all the
dealers Of the city united and each ad-
vertised and gave to patrons some
real bargains. The newspapers were
used exclusively for publicity, 5000 ex-
ira copies Of each Of the established
papers being circulated, using one
medium for each sale, and passing the
patronage around. The departure Is
said to have drawn a surprisingly large
number Of people to Pasadena and re-
suited in an increase in business that
was wholly satisfactory. Pasadena
Market day has become a feature In
the trade Of the city.
