Plea For q New Grade OF Doctors.
without Of course limiting that there
ass two few qualified physicians
throughout the country American Med
icine advances the opinion that there
Is a growing need Of profession
which shall exercise the functions Of
both doctor and druggist. 1t says that
the services performed 10y the two al
ready overlap, especially In rural com
munitles. But not alone in the coun-
try Is the druggist or his clerk called
upon to give first aid to the injured
or suddenly stricken sufferer. Even
town and city doctors cannot be every.
where in their field at once. The drug.
gist is always at the same old stand
A hurry up call never misses fire there
A doctor may give away medicine
which It Is the druggists business to
sell for gain, and 1t is only fair that
the druggist give away advice. Al
though ne Is not now legally authoriz-
ed to prescribe, but just the contrary,
he may and frequently does plead the
unwritten law Of necessity and do a
service to humanity. He Is supposed
to know the effect of the remedies
which he handles and therefore finds 1t
difficult to refuse information to a
neighbor or fellow townsman when the
case is urgent and the regular physi-
clan beyond reach.
In order to qualify the druggist to
act as a sort of assistant physician the
paper suggests that druggists take a
shorter and less expensive course in
medicine and be licensed to practice in
minor disorders and even to perform
slight surgical operations. He would
surely be capable of taking some
thing out of smarting eye, although
he might draw the line at pulling a
stubborn tooth, as even some city
dentists do on the ground that that
class Of work is for the specialist Un-
questionably there is now a very con-
siderable informal prescribing being
done by druggists and drug clerks.
Nearly everybody behind a drug coun-
ter Is called doc" by his neighbors
and is often expected to live up to the
title more or less. If this is to continue
it might be well to have the custom
placed under regulations 80 that all
commemorative public, the druggists
and the regular physicians-could know
where they are at"

One Of the measures passed by the
late session of congress provided for
the establishment Of a division Of In
formation for workingmen in connec-
ton with the department Of commerce
and labor. The function Of the d.
vision was to collect and disseminate
information about the need OF labor In
various parts OF the country. Secre-
tary Straus has now announced that
the division. at whose head he has
placed Terence v. Powderly, the well
known authority on labor matters, win
also assist workingmen to obtain en-
ployment by procuring for them dea-
mite promises of work before they
leave one section of the United States
for another.
"It is my hope to make this division
really helpful to labor in general In
placing such information before not
only the immigrants but the laboring
men throughout the country as win
enable them to supply the demand for
romunerative labor In every part Of
the country,
II hope the division win be a kind
OF clearing house, so that the wage
Garner may obtain definite employ
ment before moving from one section
Of the country to another"
Years ago 1t was said that Uncle

Pilgrim aaothers Forgotten.


At the dedication OF the monument
at Provlncotown, Mass, the other day
IN honor OF the pilgrim fathers no
mention was made OF the pilgrim
mothers, who shared all their tolls ana
dangers, and no woman had a place
on the programme. This Is not TO the
credit Of the committee ON arrange
ments.
When President Roosevelt, the prin-
cipal speaker at Provincetown, visited
New Orleans Miss Jean Gordon was
introduced to him at the reception with
the remark that she was a strong be-
hever In woman suffrage "Mr Roose-
welt believes In woman suffrage. too"
said Miss Gordon. "You bet DOR
answered the president heartily. And
as no was led away to some Of the
formal exercises In which women had
no part he turned back and added;
If you women had votes you would
not be excluded from these exercises.
You would have your fun share in the
whole celebration
In this case at least the women seem
TO have a just grievance. The pilgrim
mothers aud their daughters OF today
should have had an opportunity to DO
heard.

Andrew Carnegie has protested
against the amount Of taxes levied
against his New York property. The
canny Scotch-Amerlcan declares that
he is willing to bear his proper share
OF the burdens of running the big city,
but he does not think It fair to assess
a man heavily because he is very
wealthy. But why should the man
who believes that It Ia a disgrace to

DR.. SUssESoN BADLY INJURED
Falls Down Stairway In Home and Sus-

About three O'Clock last Sunday af-
ternoon, Dr. Marshall Surenson fell
down the stairway in his residence on
South Main street and suffered a frac-
tured skull. How the accident befell
him is not known. After eating his
dinner the doctor laid down on a couch.
Some time afterward his wife. who
was sitting on the porch, heard him
arise and go upstairs. A few moments
later she was startled by heavy crash
and upon investigation found her hus-
band lying in an unconscious state at
the bottom of the stairway. Medical
assistance was Immediately secured and
1t was found that fracture at the base
of the skull had been sustained. An
hour or two later he recovered some

Experiments in the eradication of
Canada thistles and mustard by spray
ing these weeds with a solution Of iron
sulphate are being carried on in several
parts of the state by the department of
agronomy of the university of Wiscon-
sin college Of agriculture under the di-
rection of Professor X. A. Moore.
Within the next few weeks demon
strations will begin on Canada thistle in
kewaunee and Milwaukee counties,
and on wild mustard in Waukesha
county The method of killing the
weeds is comparatively simple one,
consisting as it does Of the spraying of
the fields with iron sulphate. The cost
per acre is from fifty to sixty cents.
Two men, one to mix the solution and
one to run the sprayer, can cover about
twenty-five acres a day. The eradca-
ton OF these weeds practically doubles
values Requests for demonstration have
been so numerous that the university
authorities have decided to make the
test only upon limited number of
fields where the weeds are thick. As
the university furnishes the spraying
machinery for these tests, and a man
company supplies the iron
sulphate, the demonstrations are made
free of charge. Several different kinds
of sprayers are now being tested at
the university farm in order to demon
strate which is the most simple, and
economical.

her teeth, for she can thread a cambric
