Woman Doctor Wins Her Way.
iNeW York Press.)

Even in Russia women are winning
their way to positions of trust in ac-
tive competition with men. For eX-
ample. Fraulcin G. Zand, of Plock,
Russian Poland, has b en- appointed
city physician in Charkov, against the
organized opposition of all the men
doctors in the city. 1t was expected
confidently she would not be named
for the office, by reason OF the power
of her opponents. She appeared be-
fore the appointing board, however,
and in support of her application
said she pointed only to her record
as Il student and in q practical eX-
perience. The board took her at her
word, and In comparison of all the
candidates she was found to be the
most promising. SO she was appoint
ed, the explanation being that the
choice was made imperative by her
superior fitness. Practically the en-
tire responsibility for the health con-
ditions of the city will rest upon her.
She has been praised as one of the
most brilliant doctors in all Russia,
and even those who opposed her for
office were forced to admit her quail
ficatiOns for the position. These op-
ponents objected only on the ground
or her sex, and were over-ruled.

1t Will Not BE Allowed on Streets
this Year.

Several parties have inquired as
to the exact law in regard to the
using of fireworks during the Christ
mas holidays. The law remains the
same as last year, and Section 10 of
Ordinance No. 4 reads as follows:
Section 10. That il shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons to light
or shoot, or to advise, aid or abet in
the lighting or shooting of any fire
cracker, cannon cracker, Roman can
die, sky rocket, torpedo or other fire.

tween the hours Of O'Clock p. m. on

day Of December of each and every
year 1t shall not be unlawful for a
person, on his own premises, to
shoot any Of the aforesaid fireworks,
except cannon crackers or fire-crack-
.ers measuring more than one-half

pie who migrate across the continent
In all directions seeking that which

been avoided. Chamberlain's Cough

upon. Use 1T and the more serious
diseases may be avoided. For sale
