Col G. p. Goodyear, Brunswick's
prophet, in a recent issue Of the Jour-
nal, says in regard to his citys flu
ture There is no reason why we
should talk of a possible future of a
hundred thousand people, The limit
for now ought not to be put at less
than half million in the first half
OF the Twentieth century" Without
attempting to detract from the glor-
ious future of one of Georgia's sea-
ports, we cannot help but be lost in
admiration, and also at loss to
guess what brand produces such
exquisite dreams.

duras and Guatemala to the mes
sage of President Roosevelt, suggest
ing a conference of representative OF
the Central American states as q
means of bringing about permanent
peace between those republics. 1t is
stated that these responses amount
to an unqualified acceptance of the
proposal.
Late Friday night the state depart
ment received Guatemalas reply ac
cepting in the most cordial terms the
proposition of a peace conference
The action of Guatemala shows that
the Central American republics are q
unit for the proposed peace pro
gramme and removes any remaining
doubt as to the success of the pre-
lEninary negotiations.
The next step will be for Mexico
and the United States to dispatch a
Joint not,, or perhaps an identical
note, to each of the republics inviting
them to disclose their views as tc
the best time and place for holding
the proposed conferences. It is rrob
able that this can be arranged so as
to secure a meeting early next year
either in Washington or the City OF
Mexico.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict.
ly analyzed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col.
lectiyely."
Among the things that "is best for
the doctor is the writing of his pre-.
scrintions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills, but fore.
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor.
tunity to repeat his prescription--in
Latin, and his fee--in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means va.
ter, he Will give you a technical dis

language, and the fact that all words

1t would be good thing for the pub

collectively"

Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t Is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription In
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
