COMMISSION WOULD TEACH
SELF-DOCTORING In CHINA
Rockefeller Experts Find Need {
Training Native PHYSICIAN.

The rockefeller commission, which
is here investigating China's needs in
a medical and surgical way. has al
ready found hat a most important
point is this: The Chinese must be
taught to doctor themselves along
modern lines and not rely, except for
the present, upon the foreign medical
men.
So vast is the country, and the need
of the medical men is SO extensive,
that all the doctors and surgeons III
America could be utilized in China
Such q great invasion, or even enough
to make any wide impression. is I'M
practicable. The solution must be the
training of the Chinese doctors. At

BIG WAR TAX MUST

Made Up.
STAMP TAX LOOKS PROBABLE
Leader Underwood Says That Loss
OF Revenue Hero May Reach
$t5o,ooo,ooo

Washington, Aug. LEADERS in
Congress who have studied closely
the European conflict and its econo-
mic effect on the United States. arc
now agreed practically that even
with the United States at peace with
all the world war tax" must be
imposed to meet existing conditions.
II was estimated today by Repre-
sentative Oscar W. Underwood.
Chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, that the loss in
import tariff collections. through
the upheaval abroad. would run from
SlO0,OOO.OOO to $15O,O0O,O0O annually.
Mr. Underwood asserted that plan
to raise this revenue in some other
way than by import duties must be
devised
Just what form this war or cmer
gency taxation would take. Mr.. I'm
dcrwood and the other leaders were
moi prepared to say. The general
opinion prevails that there will be a
stamp tax similar to that imposed In
the Spanlsh.American war. although

PUTNAM MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL TO Be
BUILT IN 1915
Plans are Being Considered BY
Board Of Trustees.
LOT PURCHASE COMPLETED
Beautiful Site at the Head of Weeks
Street Is an Ideal
Location.
LOT PURCHASE COMPLETED

It is probable that the Henry w
Putnam Memorial hospital will be
erected during the year of 1915 The
hospital has acquired the lot common
ly known as the Dewey lot on
Dewey street There is some mis-
understanding as to just where this
lot is as there is another lot between
the Dewey lot and the street.
Arrangements were made so that
an entrance four rods in width can
be procured leading up to the lot
The lot on which the hospital will
stand covers about ten acres and
those who have visited the site
agree in saying that it is one Of the
most beautiful spots in Bennington.
Surveyors were on the grounds
yesterday and the plans for the
building itself are we'll under way.
People who have seen the picture of
the proposed building are much
pleased WITH it and consider that it
will be an added feature of beauty as
well as utility fer Bennington.
