NEW LONDON IMPROVES
ITS MORALS

New London, city of $500 people
in Waupaca county, is a hustler. Be-
sides having all an up to date city IS
advantages, it has now began to up
lift the morals of it's people. BY the
last issue Of the Press, of that city, we
learn that slot machines have been
ouSted from the city, nearly 40 having
been taken out at one time. These
machines have been taking on an
average of $50 out of the city each
day, and most of it has come from
young people. To break them of such
habits, the machines have been taken
out. Another step toward improve
ment has been to pass an anti-expec-
tOrating ordnance, which makes it
miSdemeanor to eXpectOrate upon the
sidewalks of the city, aud imposing a
fine of one to five dollars for each
offense. Tie ordinance is one that
will certainly develop morality and
cleaDliesg, and will reduce contagiOn
OF disease 1t is an ordinance that
would operate in first class shape
right here in our own city, Grand
Rapids.

NEW RULING ON
PATENT MEDICINES

A decision that is far reaching in
its effects was handed down by the
United States Commissioner of IN
ternal Revenue on the fourteenth of
this month. Ii relates to the manu-
facture and sale of patent medicines
that contain large quantity of dis
titled liquors, as almost all patent
medicines do. This decision holds
that manufacturers of such medicines
must take out licenses as rectiferS
and liquor dealers, anu that druggists
and others handling them will be COM
PEELED to take out the usual liquor
Dealers license.
So far, none of the pharmacists in
Grand Rapids have had any notifica-
ton as to their having to take out
such license, and it is probable that
they will not hear from the Depart
ment of the Interior for almost a
month yet. The new ruling causes
several questions to arise. One of
them is whether the local dealers and
those selling the medicines will have
to take out a license to finish up the
year with or not. A ruling on this
question will probably follow the other
or former one.
Another question that will arise is
purely local. At the present time the
city levies license tax of $40 upon all
the pharmacists in the city for the
privilege of selling liquor for medical
purposes. Since patent medicines are
held in the same class as liquor by the
Department of the Interior, will that
give cities, among which is Grand
Rapids, the right to impose license
| tax equal in amount to that charged
saloon keepers? Some of the phar-
macists who have been questioned
concerning the matter. say that their
local license entities them to sell
liquors in small quantities, "for medi-
cinal PURPOSES" and as the liquor in
patent medicines is used for this pur-
pose, an increased tax cannot be
legally imposed upon them. Between
these two opinions, the matter rests
at present

RAFFERTY, AND THE TELLER

Much for the Bank
Official.

There is a rule in one at least of the
when passbook is presented with ar
order for payment from the deposition
the Identification of the payee is re
quired for amounts exceeding 800.
One day, relates the Boston Herald
an Irishman, not long in this country
appeared at the paying teller's win
dow for draft of $123, presenting &
passbook and an order from the owne,
of the book to pay Patrick Rafferty,
the amount.
The order was in proper form, but
the payee was not known to the teller
"Do you know any of the officers
here?" he asked of Pat.

''Well, then, you will have to b.
identified to us in some way"
whats that?" asked the now con
fused Irishman
"Why," explained the teller, ''yor
will have to get some one whom we
know and who knows you to come ir
here and identify you. You might be
anybody, and we want to be sure thai
we are paying Patrick Rafferty,"
Pat looked daZed and went over to 8
seat, and for ten or Is minutes looked
stupidity at the passbook and order.
Finally he approached the window
again with the most dubious lool
imaginable on his face and said: "Say

DOCTORS COMPELLED
TO DISOBEY LAW

It is seldom that a person is COM
PEELED to diSObey law by the state
which passed the same law, but this is
the case in Wood county. The new laws
passed last winter by the state legis-
lature, contained measure saying
that physicians must report all acct
dents treated by them, to the secre-
tary of the board of health. There have
been several accidends happen since
that law went itnO effect, and they
have been treated by Grand Rapids
physicians, but the doctors have not
been able to make out report. The
reason for this is that the blanks upon
which the reports must be written
have not been received by the register
of deeds Office for Wood county,
though that office has been making
efforts to get them. Several letters
have been written in to the state, ask
ing for the blanks, but none have been
received as yet. Until they arrive, the
accidents can not be reported, as
the physicians do not know what kind
of a report to make. nor what is re-
CURED of them. Until the blanks
arrive, there will have to be trans
gressiOn of the law in Wood county.
Registers of other counties have re-
ceiAed the blanks and have issued
them, and it seems singular how our
county was overlooked. Evidently
the state authorities considered Wood
county people sufficiently level headed
and careful to escape accidents almost
altogether, and that it was unneces-
sary to issue the blanks to US.

Bisbee daily review., 1905-04-22

An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful: they will lie 10 their physician" This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in re- gard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex.
 There can be no more terrible ordeal to delicate, sensitive. refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is especially the case with un- married women.
 Is 1t any wonder. then, that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on2
 This IS the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now core spending with Mrs. Pinkham, To her they can and do give every symptom. so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients. through her correspondence with them than the physician who personally questions them.
 Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women. write at once to Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she will advise you free of charge.
 The fact that this great boon, which IS extended freely to women by Mrs. Plnkham, is appreciated, the thou sands of letters received by her prove Many such grateful letters as the fol- lowing are constantly pouring Tn. Ask Hrs. Pinkham's AdyiCe-A Woms
