1.-The high cost of materials and la

informants as unfavorable factors in
the situation.
Turning to the crop situation, only
the broadcast congratulations are justi-
fed The grasses, which form the
primary sustenance of our animal pop
ulation, are an unusually rich crop.
The cereal crop suffered by reason of
the conditions which promoted the
luxuriance of the forage crops.
ut now appears that the total yield
of wheat in the United States will ap-
proximate GAG, 100000 bushels.
The unmistakable conclusion to be
gathered from our replies on SEIZED
ules touching the crop financing OPP
erations of the banks, is that though
yields may be deficient in quantity
and in quality, these defects, in con-
junction with an unabating consump-
ton, will require practically as large
a volume of funds as last year.

and debris in all directions. So ter

that Thompson and Doane were lit

Three buildings of the plant were
laid in ruins and all that remains is

To Train Natives to Fight.

80 companies. The recommendation
was due to desire to reduce ex-
penses, natives costing less than
American soldiers.

VALUES OF THE OSTRICH.
Full Grown One Worth $500, the Eggs
Are Worth $25.

Are Worth S25.
Arthur G. Hummer of Los Angeles
says ostrich eggs are worth s25. Tho
chicks are only worth $50. The full
grown ostrich is worth $500 TO s400
The average pluck is about one pound,
and is worth, on an average, about $50.
The best ostrich feathers come from
the Levant and the north and west
coasts Of Africa. Southern California
and Arizona have ostrich farms. The
American ostrich is only about half
the size of the African bird and its
feathers and eggs bring much less.
London sets the price On ostrich
feathers which, when the bird is four
years old, bring as high as 500 per
pound, the poorer grades selling as
low as $50. The eggs vary in value
from $40 to $25. Diseases cause about
a third of the chicks to die in this
country.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

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 analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col.
lectively."
Among the things that 'is best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for it's ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
a 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 wa
ter, he will give you technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics of
it's own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code Of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when yoa
have the ague, the grippe, or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you. may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Ldllil, duu yOu ldhC thlo, W yOu, hCdu-
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have 1t compounded. Right here is
where you come in, If you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want
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
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also If you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having 1t
