Early Shopping
From the Des Moines Capital.

at an early date. This suggestion is
predicated upon both wise and hui
name considerations.
The wisdom Of the proposition. OF
course, lies in the fact that You have
the completest stock from which to
make your selections. The bargain
hunter likes variety; also amplitudin-
asity; also abundance. To be among
the advance guard of purchasers gives
the exultant feeling that one has had
the pick OF the best for the money to
be expended.
The humaneness of early shopping
Hes in the fact that you are showing
consideration for the physical limita-
lions of the clerks in the stores. The
month OF December imposes tremen-
dons strain upon them. Their work
begins early and does not terminate
until late hour Be considerate,
therefore, of the clerks and do your
shopping at time when they can give
you the best that is in them in the
way OF service and show you the best
that Is carried in stock
Early Christmas shopping is a viz
tue worth cultivating.

Fortunate is the one who can eat

fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, mastf-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal OF
the day will do much towards assist
Ing digestion. Any grown-up person
ought to know the peculiar foods that
do not agree, and these should be
avoided.
When these common-sense aids fall,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative properties
and there is none better than DR.. Cald-

greatest of all aids to digestion, good

For Rational Standards in Surgery.


Chicago lnter-Ocean: The processionl
prominent surgeons through the CORR
doris OF the Congress hotel Thursday
evening, on their way to the first con-
vocation of the American College of
Surgeons and to take up their fellow
ships therein, probably impressed the
casual lay observer chiefly as an In.
teresting display OF academic millin-
cry.
1t was great deal more than that
and the millinery was merely the dec
orative feature Of the occasion. AS Sir
Hickman Godlee, head OF the Royal
College of Surgeons Of England. said
in his address of congratulation to the
new American organization with simi.
lar aims:
"A uniform standard is essential for
the good of the people and the good OF
surgery. Physicians and surgeons
should know about both branches of
the profession, and medicine and sur
gerry should be drawn more closely to
gether.''
That there has been certain sep
aration between these two main
branches of the healing art has for
some time been evident. The sur
geon, in the strict sense OF the word,
has gained in public note and esteem
upon the physician, and not always
justly.
Surgery, dealing with the mechanics
| OF the human body, has developed into
what may be fairly called an exact
| science. Medicine, in the sense of the
| use of drugs to effect changes in the
bodily processes, has necessarily re-
manned more or less of an empiric art.
1 For medicine, in that sense, does
| not deal with visible and tangible
| things, as does surgery. Furthermore,
1t has to reckon with all sorts Of per.
sonal idiosyncrasies which make rem.
edies effective with one patient inef
fectiye with another Though the
treatment Of some diseases may be
said to have reached an exact or scien
tifc basis, with an enormous number
of patients 1t must still be largely 1
trial.
Perception Of this fact has caused
some surgeons to assume more or less
of derisive attitude toward the gen
eral practitioner the family doctor
; who is called for everything, Of whom
it is demanded that he cover the Who'll,
: field, and whose long experience will
