INGENIOUS BOOKKEEPING.
How Doctors May Have Banks Keep
Track of Their Business.

How Doctors May Have Banks Keep
Track of. Their Business.
The Medical Record quotes from a
writer in ti.e British Medical Journal
who suggests that physicians should
make banks serve as their bookkeepers.
Sir John Collie is the author OF this
system. His plan is to keep two bank
ing accounts at the same bank.
''The first. No. l." says the writer 'is
his ordinary current account. into
which he should pay all the money he
receives. whether he has been paid in
cash or checks. 1t is an excellent rule
never to spend penny which has not
come to one through his banking ac-
count. The physician should never get
checks which have been paid to him
cashed by the local Tadesman. He
should never pay his chauffeur with
his fees. Every single item received
from the physicians practice from one
years end to another should go
through his banking account No. /. If
the physician has been tempted to use
five dollar bill which some one has
pau ulln unexpectedly Oh rOunQ or
If he has bought stamps with the mon
ey which some patient left at the office.
then he should draw a check for the
amount, cash it and pay the money
into his bank Thus, and thus only. can
he make his banker his bookkeeper.
''If the physician should die suddenly
or wish to sell his practice, then. and
then only, whether his other business
books are kept well or not, the lawyer
or the medical agency or the purchaser
who wades through his effects will re-
joice to find one method Of knowing
gross receipts and getting some idea of
the real intrinsic value of the business
and will from the physicians bank
book alone tell the total cash receipts
from the practice upon which to found
the purchase price.
AT the end of every year the books
should be balanced, and if the doctor
cannot balance them himself or has
not the time the comparatively small
sum which a professional accountant
will charge, say So or $40, will be well
repaid"

Algerian Olive Trees.

In Algiers olive trees spring up wild

Several tons of watermelons were

northern locality where they are not
as plentiful as here, have been han

Diary OF FATHER lime


Now that the cold weather is here,
and gloves are coming into use, the
ancient use of hand coverings is re-
called. The ancients were not strange
to the use of gloves but they were
not commonly worn. In the hot coun-
tries the wearing of gloves was con-
sidered a sign of effeminacy. The
early use of gloves was more general
in Northern than in Southern coun-
tries.
The use of gloves solely peeved the
Roman philosophers, one of whom. l
remember declared that it was
shameful that perfectly healthy peo-
pie should clothe their hands and feet
with soft and heavy coverings. They
believed that olives picked by the
naked hand were far better than
those gathered with gloved hands.
There was a famous glutton in those
days who always wore gloves to the
table so that he could handle and eat
the meat while hot and thus get
away with more than the rest of the
company.
Gloves, besides their original de-
sign for covering of the hands, were
used on great and solemn occasions,
as in the conveying of lands or con-
ferring of investitures. They were
taken from culprits, as were their
spurs, as mark of degradation.

The First Reporter.

The modern reporter harlis back to
the reign of Queen Anne and to the
unknown scribe who attempted to tell
the public the secrets Of her pariia-
ment. He had hard time of it, for
parliament wished to keep its secrets
to itself. In 1928 an order was passed
that 1t is an indignity to and a breach
Of the privilege Of the house for any
person to presume to give in written
or printed newspapers any account or
minute of the debates or proceedings;
that upon discovery of the authors,
