Rev. w. j. Leroy of Pocahon-
tas preached two able and eloquent
sermons at the First Methodist
church last Sunday. Jasper Is com.
paratively a new man in the minis
try, but his sermons show that he
has worked and that as theological
student he is taking high ground.
Mr.. Leroy lived many years in
Greene county, was a prominent
and popular teacher in the country
and has many friends In all portions
of the county who are proud of his
success in the ministry. Some five
or six years ago he joined the con-
ference and was given small work
but has grown IN usefulness as a
pastor and pulpit speaker and al
ready occupies one among the good
charges of his district, being pastor
of the church at Pocahontas, where
the Methodists have fine parsonage
and take good care of their preacher.
Mr.. Leroy is yet young man and
has time for development and if he
develops as much in the next five
years of his ministry as he has the
past five ne will be one of the big
preachers of the White River con.
ference. While here Mr.. Leroy
was the guest of his sister, Mrs.

The family with young children
that is without sickness in the house

portant that the head of the house
should know what to do in the little
emergencies that arise. A child with
a serious ailment needs doctor, it is
true, but in the majority of instances,
as any doctor knows, the child suffers
from some intestinal trouble, usually
constipation.
There is no sense in giving it a pill
or a remedy containing an opiate, nor
is flushing of the bowels to be always
recommended. Rather give it a small
dose of mild, gentle laxative tonic
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin

MAKE PROTEST
Charqe That Department OF
Health in Usurping Practice.
SOCIETY PLANS A CHECK
Nurses Doing Work of Medical
Inspectors and Making Inroads
on Incomes of Doctors.

Because there has been so much opposi-
ton from the medical profession In this
city over what is considered the usurpation
OF the field OF practice by the Department
of Health a committee Of the County Med
ical Society has been appointed, II was
learned yesterday. 10 bring about better
understanding between the department and
the physicians.
According 10 one OF the members OF the
committee the radicals feel that the de-
partment has invaded the field Of practice
TO such an extent that 1t is taking the
bread out OF the mouths Of some Of the
physicians. Others. however, have taken
more conservative position, and say that,
while II Is true the present work Of the
department interferes somewhat with tho
practice OF a large number Of physicians,
the development on the whole. has been OF
great advantage to the community at large.
THE time must come" said the member
Of the committee. when the limits OF the
work Of the department must be prescribed.
But II must he limited only along broad
lines. When the department began TO en-
force the rulings regarding tuberculosis
there was vigorous protest from the rank
and tiIe of the physicians I'm this city. The
more conservative regarded II az move
for the betterment Of conditions. and now
the opposition has died out in view OF the
results"
In the last few months, II was learned
yesterday. the subject OF the Department
OF Hcslth's work In this city had been dIs
CuSsed at numerous meetings OF the Acad-
crny OF Medicine. the County Medical So
ciety and the Eastern Medical Society. One
point which has brought matters more
nearly to q crisis than ever before is the
substitution Of nurses for medical In
spcctors by the Department Of Health.
II WAS pointed ont that while q nurses
duties could rightly bc enlarged upon to
tho great advantage 81 her profession, It
was not proper that nurses should do the
work Of medical inspectors in dispensaries
ana IN the schools.
One Of the more radical members or the
profession said yesterday that tie enlarged
