REDUCE TARIFF ON BABIES.
Doctors Who Are Not Too Well
of 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
81 800 a year It 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 a doctor who must ask some 9TH
er doctor what ails them, and then
call in a third or fourth 70 do some
thing It is not that all the doctors
may not be amply worth oir fees
but that the families have not got the
money TO divide among so many. Fiji
teen hundred dollars is not an excess
sive doctors bill for so simple an
event as a new baby in moderate
ly well-to-do New York family. Elder
ly people who are out of the habit of
having babies, can often afford such
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
ly 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.

THE RULING PASSION STRONG.
Elderly Lady Harked Back to Time
When Pattern Of Her Stockings
Meant Much.

To have been a souhrette all ones
life and then TO grow old! Why
should one be expected to change?
Why should not the habits of thought
of years reach on into the seventies?
The tale is told of that dear lady who
40 years ago sent the blood dancing
in the veins of her generation with
"tassels on her boots" and the Tilt OF
kindred ditties. Her daughter. in con-
slant fear of pneumonia for the frail,
tiny old lady, urged upon her the
wearing of wooden stockings. She
sweetly but firmly declined consider
ing the ugly things, and, needing a
new supply, laid the case before her
son. He saw the point at once and
bought her a box of the sheerest,
daintiest, most open-work affairs the
market afforded. To the surprise Of
all she never wore them. Throughout
the winter and far into the spring she
spoke no more Of stockings. but meek
ly wore the ugly wooden ones of her
daughters choice. At last one day her
son asked her why. Where" he
queried. ARE those pretty things
bought your" "Oh, my dear boy" she
exclaimed, ut was kind and thought
full and sweet Of you to buy them for
me. and. of course. you couldn't pos
sibly know, but the patterns are so
unbecoming l can't wear them"
