SURGEONS
CHARGES
Method by Which, it is Said, the Fees
Are Regulated.

Frequently laymen who have had
occasion to settle the bills of sur
geons upon whom they have called
In extremities to use the knife are
heard to complain against what they
call the exorbitant charges of sur
| geons.
A skilled surgeon may charge $3.50
for a simple appendicitis operation.
The patient, who never thinks of
complaining until he is convalescent,
objects oftentimes to paying the BILL
He says, 1T is outrageous for a sur
geon to charge $3.50 for half an
hours work.
The question of surgeons fees Of
ten puzzles patient. He knows of
one man upon whom a surgeon of
wide reputation has operated and
charged SIS. He may know of an
other who has paid $1,000 for the
same operation. He cannot figure it
out.
Yet surgeons of known ability and
national, perhaps international, fame
have a general plan in charging for
operations. Their prices range from
nothing to $4,000. They will operate
without any question of Willingness
or ability to pay in any case where
the situation is imperative. After
ward they will present the bill. The
general public does not understand
how a surgeon will charge one man
$50, another $3.50 and another
$4,000.
Surae ons have fixed price scheme
and aim o charge the patient about
one mon h 8 income. They fig IrA that
arT person who is in such ha condi-
ton as to be forced to submit to a
surgical operation surely can afford
to give one months income. They
ascertain roughly what a man makes
per month and send him in a bill for
that amount.-Chicago Tribune.

TIME
TO SPRAY
PROF. MELANDER OF STATE COL
LEGE is HERE AND SAYS 1T is
TIME FOR SECOND DOSE.

Prof. A. L. Melander of the State
College, is in the valley this week for
the purpose of looking after the Or
chards that are being experimental
upon by him in the interests of the
state.
Mr.. Melander arrived on the noon
train yesterday and this morning Wis
tied the Lanham orchards. He states
that it is nearly time for the second
spraying in this valley. 1t will be
all right, he says, to begin work on
the spraying this week, and it should
be finished within a week or ten days.
D. w. Roderick, deputy fruit in
spector, has been rearing some cod
lin moths, and he noticed that most
of them were transforming May % to
May 25. Allowing for the egg-laying
period and the Matching of the eggs,
the worms will be entering the ap-
pies this week.
In speaking of the work being
done in the Lanham orchard. Mr.. Me-
lander said: I'VE are doing but little
spraying this time on the Lanham or
chard, only few trees being spray
ed to show the comparative value OF
the spraying. We are still depend
ing on the first spraying given last
month TO answer for the entire sea-
son. We would not advise other
growers to depend upon single
spraying to keep their orchards
clean if that spraying has not been
a good one, and as thoroughly as we
applied it.

system.
Prof. Bob Nelson, an ardent an
thropologist, perceiving Mr.. Does
experiment and realizing that the
other members of the Police Re-
search Club would be glad to meet
the professor and exchange conf
dences on the subject, finally per-
suaded the professor, who is very
modest man and who does nat care
for notoriety, to appear at the club
rooms on Monday.
The experiment did not seem to af-
