REDUCE TARIFF ON BABIES.
Advice Given by Puck to New York
Doctors Who Are Not Too Well
OFF Financially.

American Medicine says that the
economic problems of the practicing
physician are daily becoming more Sc.
rious, and that 60 per cent. of the ply
sicians in New York are not earning
$1,000 year. 1t says there is trou-
BILE somewhere and finds some of it
in the TOO rapid growth of special
ism, beyond all needs and demands"
There or thereabouts, we guess, is
the main trouble. Most families can
afford a family doctor to tell them
what's the matter and what to do, but
comparatively few families can af-
ford doctor who must ask some 9TH
er doctor what ails them, and then
call in third or fourth to do some
thing 1t is not that all the doctors
may not be amply worth their fees,
but that the families have not got the
money to divide among SO many. Fiji
teen hundred dollars is no. an excess
sive doctors bill for so nipple an
event as new baby In q moderate
ly well-to-do New York far lily. Elder
| ly people who are out Of the hab' OF
! having babies, can often afford such a
| fee and would cheerfully pay it If they
had occasion. But rash young people,
who are the ones who have the babies
when there are any. can't possibly pay
| for them at that rate. And they don't,
of course, but as rule they pay more
than they can afford, and have ii deep
! iy impressed upon them that babies
are beyond their means
But babies are the beginning and
mainstay of the doctors business.
They mean fees at the start, and then
patients. They should be welcomed,
not scared off. We recommend the
physicians to reduce the tariff on ba-
bies in the interest of trade.-Puck.

WHO GOT TO

Most Sensible Americans are Willing
to Accord Honor to Both Cook
and Peary.

The question is, not who got the
pole,' but "Who got there frst?"
Most sensible Americans are willing
to give both Commander Peary and
DIR. Cook all the honors that are due
to the intrepid explorers who braved
the arctic regions to reach the north
pole They are willing to await the
conclusions of the scientific world
after all the records and proofs are
presented. There is plenty of stand
ing ROOM at the pole-no excuse for
crowding or pushing. 1t is glory
enough to have the distinction fall to
Americans.
In the meantime the people are
most interested in learning the details
of the dash through the ice-bound
wastes of the frozen north. How did
they get through? What did they eat?
What kind of food best sustained life
and strength on such journey? Ger
tain 1t Is that reaching the north pole
was a question of food and equipment.
The public knows little about the
nature of the food supplies on which

is known, however, that Commander
Peary took with him four hundred
and fifty boxes of Triscuit (the Shred

on board the Roosevelt" before it
left New York harbor in July, 1908.
