Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-11-16

A woman in public or in private
life, who ever works only for the sake OF the
reward that comes from the work, WILL in the
long run, do poor work always. do not care
where the work is, the man woman who does
work worth doing is the who
lives, breathes and sleeps that work; with
whom it is present in his or her soul;
whose ambition is to do it we'll and feel re
warded by the thought of having done it we'll.
That man, that woman, puts the whole country
under an ob1gation.-John Ruskin. =
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-11-16

In poll to indicate the choice of the De
mocrats of North Dakota for president recently
conducted by the Evening Press of Grand Forks,
it was found that Johnson lead with 876, Bryan
1872, Chanler 100, Folk H. Francis 81, Williams
3d. Tom Johnson 40, Hearst AZ and Hoke Smih
9. The surprising part of the poll is that John
son lead Bryan, and that Chanler shows such
strength.

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians to pat
ent'' medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
1--WE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year $62,000.000 has been ex-
pended on patent medicines In the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country yearly
income of $4,000. In the face OF such
facts as these, all talk OF love OF hu.
mainly, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun
combe should give place to homeiy
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent medi
cine business is about $4O.O00.000 IN
stead of $50, 100000 but taking thu
Medical Times figures as correct thel

less than 81 per capita for home medl
cation. The cost Of doctors fees ez
elusive of medicines except such q
are dispensed for the same period
probably was approximately $4,000
600. This is reached by allowing a
average income of $4,000 to each
the $4,000 physicians in the Unite
States. Even allowing that gros
business of $50 600, 900 is to be divit
ed between $4,000 physicians the II
come of each would not be increase
more than $40.
