NOTICE.

To Whom This May Concern;
 We, the undersigned, feel that we are being imposed upon by a certain element of people who fail or refuse to pay their ac- counts.
 We find after considering the matter among ourselves, that there are hundreds of people who owe most every doctor in town and never pay any one eX- cept by quitting one doctor and using another as long as possible without paying either.
 Now the practice of medicine is hard enough when we collect our bills, muchless when we do not collect, as rule, fifty per cent. Our charges today are. the same as they were fifteen years ago, when wages and liv- ing expenses in general among other classes have increased fifty per cent Still we only ask that we be paid for our services at the same price as formally. It is not our object to impose a hardship upon any worthy person who needs the Services of a physician and unable to pay for the same, but those who can and refuse or fail to do so, we earnestly request that you call and make satisfactory arrang- ments with the doctor you owe. We know who you are and we do not intend to practice for you un- less you comply with the above request an an early date.

which was outlined and on which the |
law governing the present method OF
distribution is based was good, but
it's working out has proved defective
in many instances.
Director William ]. Harris Of the bu-
reau of the census had his attention
called to defects in the present meth
cd a few weeks after coming into Of
fee. A correspondent wrote to Direc-
tor Harris requesting that summary
of the latest agricultural statistics be
mailed him. A form letter was writ
ten in the census office to the appli-
cant for information, saying that the
request had been referred to the SUI
perintendent of documents, and that
the bulletin containing the statistics
would be mailed from the government
printing office. The information was
wanted in hurry; the correspondent
waited five days, then wrote to the SUI
perintendent of documents stating
| that Director Harris had written say
/ ing that the bulletin would be mailed
/ from the printing office. A polite re-
/ quest was made of the superintendent
| of documents to hurry the informa-
1 ton. as the time for completing the
article in which the statistics were
to be included was growing very short.
The Superintendent of documents then
sent a form post card to the CORE
spondent. saying that his letter had
been referred to the director of the
census The correspondent, whose
patience was almost worn out by this
time, having expected the information
in one or two days at the most after
his original request was made, brought
the matter to the attention of Director
Harris. who was surprised that the
red tape created by the present law
makes prompt distribution of public
documents almost impossible, provid
ing the request for them comes by
mail. On personal application docu
ment will be furnished Immediately
but only those people living in Wash

prompt service.
