Or. Wiley, the government pure

the most scientific cooks In tho coun-
try That is thc news from Wash.

comments on this real sensation as fol

The telegraphcd description Of the
lady strikes us as supcrfluous. Ger
tainly a young woman Who dld not
feel herself up 90 q high mark IN the
science OF food would hardly have
the courage to marry so r%edoubtable
ana confirmed q pure food scientist
as Dr. Wiley.
But we are not so certain that even
under such favorable circumstances
her way Will be free from difficulties.
No matter how great q cook she nay
be. It is likely to get on her nerves to
feel that her arrangements are al
ways under the cold and critical eye
Of science.
And the suspicion that were she Il
less capable pure food artist, perhaps
the scientist might not be SO devoted,
may grow and grow until the desire
to learn the truth, to test his affection
to the limit, even leads her to serve
him with something that has benz

Would the doctor stand the test?
Perhaps, But We may confidently as-
sumo that If he did il would he az the
end Of 4 struggle in which the cold
and unerring instinct Of the scientist
would prove no mean antagonist to
the warmer domestic feelings. We
need only look to his record TO justify
the assumption.

How would the wife of a govern

was sneaking off every little while
right after a meal in order to get into

Already. il is said, the allopathic
doctors of the American Medical Assoc
citation have secured control of the
boards Of health Of many states,
counties and municipalities, from
| which positions Of vantage they oper-
ate against physicians OF the rival
creods. States included under this
head are Ohio, Texas, Maryland, and
Delaware.
50 much for the contentious of the
opponents of the move for a national
health department. 1t is interesting,
however. to note hat in his Social
Statistics" published half a century
ago, Herbert Spencer drew attention
to the Increasing spirit Of indepen-
dence manifested in the medical pro-
fesslon and gave warning against the
pursuit of that spirit to the point
where il ceased to be independence
ana became selfishness.
There is an unmistakable wish 70
establish an organized, t~ax-supportcd
class, charged with the health of mems
bodies, as the clergy are charged with
the health OF their SOULS he said.
And whoever has watched how in
stitutions grow-how by little and lit
tie a very lnnocent-looking infancy I'M
folds into "A formidable maturity, with
vested interests. political influence,
and a strong instinct of self-preserNa-
tion-will see that the germs here
peeping forth are quite capable, I'M
der favorable circumstances. of de-
veloping into such an organization"
1t is the very fact that so many
Americans have watched the illustra-
ton of this principle carried out by 50
many different professions and in
dustries that has given rise to the
movement directed at the passage Of
the health bills
In all probability, congress will
have further opportunities to thresh
out the matter at the coming session.
The country seems to need inf0rma-
ton on the subject. and in the opinion
of many conservative doctors. it is
best To withhold ones opinion until
more light has been cast into the

This outlines the aims OF some OF
the doctors who desire TO see a secre-
tary OF national health in the cabinet
of the mex president. And while theii
plan sounds practical, It is only fair tt
give the opposite side. According to
the opposition. the men who have
organized in four months a league
with more than one hundred thousand
members, the plan of the allopath
physicians of the American Medical
Association IS simply intended to turn
the country over to the grasp Of what
they call a medical trust or, TO employ
a more accurate smile. q state medical
system, analogous to It state religion.
They assert that the first result of the
establishment OF a national health de-
partment would be an upward teno.
ency In medical fees, accompanied by
a corresponding reduction in the num-
Der of practising physicians. There
are too manw doctors. That is the
universal plea, 1t is also the plea OF
the clergymen, to be sure. But, says
the league for medical freedom, the
clergymen have no highly organized
machine for the purpose Of swinging
legislation in their favor.
TO those who question the possi-
bility of a government department ever
securing a position of dominance over
any profession, the opponents OF the
sO-callcd ,"health bills reply that a
government department Of health must
inevitably be controlled by the Ameri-
can Medical Association. There are at
present some 1900 doctors in the
government service. They are all all
opaths. They receive salaries of from
$1,000 to $4,000 u year, and, in addition
to their salaries, In he majority Of
cases, they receive concessions in the
way of quarters. %rations, and fuel at
TOW cost, horses. etc, which would total
up to another thousand.
Now, Il national health department
might require the services of at least
10000 additional doctors. and ii is
said that they would all be ullopaths
This would mean a compact body Of
allopathic surgeons administering the
department. 1t would also mean
medical stagnation, according 20 OPP
ponents of the plan. No other medical
crecds would have a chance, they de-
clare. Gradually, by legislation and
public education, the people would be
weaned away from everything except
allopathy. The result would be IA
cessation OF enterprise in the fighting
of disease. Secure in their dominion,
the allopaths. or the American Medi-
cal Association, to borrow the doc
trines of the league, would have no.
incentive for making new discoveries,
OF course, nobody loses sight of the
fact that even in this day Of municipal
and state regulation OF medical prac-
tice many quacks get through the
meshes of the law. Even the league
admits this. But the league contends
that it is better 70 have the laws lax
enough to LET through a few takers
than to raise the bars to such an eX-
tent that doctors would soon belong
to q limited and favored profession,
The vast increase in the number OF
students graduated annually has not
resulted so far in a decrease in medi-
cal efficiency in the country, they
point out, America never stood so
high in clinical science as she stands
today.

AN ALARMING PROSPECT.

There are startling possibilities I'M
VOWED IA the resolution introduced In

demanding that the 103rd meridian

wants 1t 10 conform to the erroneous
survey Of Clark, SO that Texas VIII acc

This means nothing less revolu-
%tionary than moving the 103rd mcr-
idian.
The results, ms n goes into the
matter. are likely to be disastrous
and 1t fills us with apprehension 10
contemplate them. The 103rd mer-
idlan west from Greenwich IL to be
moved, Senator Culberson probably
recognized that a proposition to move
Greenwich further west would lead
10 serious international complications.
Greenwich Is something OF an institute
ton over in England, and any pro-
posed transfer OF the town would UNI
doubtedly stir up q ruction with the
red coats. The average reader might
think that Texas wouldn't care a boot
would be a long wrangle with King
George, the s%uffragettes and the house
Of commons, and the delay would be
Indefinite IN length. So Texas chooses
the alternative of having congress

II you look at this proposition o
moment you will see It's alarming pos
sihiitlos, II the meridian is moved

stantly increasing ratio as It goes

WAYS to Serve oysters on Christmas.

Scalloped oysters should not be a
pasty mass. Do not use too soft
bread in crumhinr them nor too
much liquid. Butter over each layer
and q rev tablcspoonfuls of cream
poured in az the last are enough.
Tho shallow earthenware dish that
holds not more than two layers of
oysters makes a better scallop than
the deep, o~ld-fashioned pudding dish.
If more than one painful is needed
there can be q second plateful in the
oven ready To- be slipped into the sill
Yer rim.
individual scallop dishes, or four
or five large oyster shells filled with
oysters and covered With bread
crumbs and butter, are preferred by
many.

Fur on Cloth Suits.

There IS a happy fashion this sea-
son Of using fur bands as trimming
for the street suits. 1t is not strictly
new but the original use of the bands
of short smooth fur is assuredly very
good looking and adds the desired
winter touch. The fur cloth which
is being sold for trimming purposes
is q frankly manufactured, woven
stuff not grown by animals but reat-
ed in such q way that it gives the APP
pearance Of g smooth fur. It is not
expensive and makes a durable and
pretty trimming for rough cloth suits
which are so widely worn this winter.

maple, as many know it.
Thus the two made their start in
