 Indianapolis. Ind, April 23.-BasinR his action on information which he has been gathering for the last six months. James Bingham. Attorney General, will within the next ten days, file suits against all Brewing Companies in the State which have. as will be alleged, been operating saloons and in other ways transacting a retail liquor busi- ness.
 There are more than twenty brewing companies in the State, and the facts obtained show, 1t is declared, that prac- tically all of these have been controlling saloons.
 The State will contend that conduct ing a retail liquor business by brewing companies is an exercise of powers which are not conferred on these com panies by law. and the suits will ask for all possible relief. and this in cludes the enjoining of further viola ton of the law by the brewing com panies. the revocation of their char ters, appointment of receivers and practically means the elimination of such breweries from the State if the suits arstsuccessful.
 This action also. if entirely success ful, will put out of business more than $500 saloons, which, 1t is asserted, out of 5000 saloons of the State, are brew cry owned.

Explains Ethics in Relationship to Pa- tients, Showing that Healer. Ende.vor to Decrease Dis-
 ease of the People.

One of the notable addresses to the physicians was that of Dr. wilker- son, who spoke of the. ethics of the profession. He said
 Medical ethics, though so frequent ly misunderstood by the public. differ in no mateTial respect from the ethics of polite society or from the code of morals of any organization which strives to beneft both its members and the community in which it exists. An organization composed of medical men is necessarily different from an associ- ation of lawyers, ministers or mer- chants and to meet these differences some notifications of the general rules of ethics. is necessary, but the funda- mental principles underlying all moral obligations may be summed up in the Golden Rule.
 Tt Is a humiliating thought, but nevertheless fact, that physicians and their families are dependent on the misfortunes of others for their daily bread. Yet we individually and as a. profession are striving day by day and year by year to lessen and prevent the ills and injuries of our fellow men and correspondingiy re- duce our sources of revenue. Is there another profession. or organization of any kind In this great world labor ing to curtail the profits of its individ- ual members?
 we know that for the sake of health and happiness prevention Is better than cure and we are striving earnestly to fortify the human citadel against inc vasion by disease.
 What great minds have accomplish ed in the past we ars attempting to do now and our efforts are being crown ed with abundant success. We kncNv that tuberculosis and host of other diseases are preventable and we are taking earnest pains to instruct the public in ways of prevention.
 About one-tenth of all the deaths in this State are due to tuberculosis "a preventable and often a curable disease. What a frightful and dnnec- essary sacrifice of human lives! From 8 to 10 per cent. of all cases of typhoid fever die--a disease absolutely and wholly avoidable. Its modes of com veyance are we'll known-by flies, milk, drinking water and in other ways-so all that Is needed to prevent typhoid Is to be sure of the freedom from ty- phoid germs of articles of food or drink consumed by us.s
