DOCTORS BILL NOT DREADED
United States Consul Deedmeyer, Sta
toned at Prague, Enumerates
Physicians Rates

According to a report from United
States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta
toned at Prague, one may at least be
i'll in Austria and not dread the eX-
orbitant doctors bill that follows:
The city of Prague, with popula-
ton of about 100000, has only about
500 physicians, or one for every I 800
persons. A doctor charges for a day
time call in the middle class family
only GO cents or ten cents more than
If the patient calls on him in his Of
fee. For a night call the doctor re-
ceives from $1.20 to 50, according to
the distance. Only professors at the
clinics Of the two local universities
charge more, receiving from two to
four dollars for a house call and two
dollars for an office visit. AS in this
country, the physicians give only pre-
scriptons.
at most of the hospitals under the
control of the Roman Catholic associa
ton" continues Mr.. Deedmeyer, treat
ment and care are entirely free. Nurses
at the hospitals are paid so cents q
day for the first year, with an annual
increase of 20 cents a month; at sani.
tariums, from six to eight dollars a
week; at private houses, from eighty
cents to one dollar day, board being
always included for all nurses.
about 100 dentists practice in this
city. The average charges are; Draw
ing one tooth, 40 cents; cement filling,
60 cents to 81; amalgam filling, 80
cents to 50, etc
The annual incomes of these pro
fessional men are estimated as fol
lows: Head professors in charge of
clinics, salary paid by the government,
81 400 to $1,000, and $4,000 to $1,000
from private practice; other profess
sors at clinics, salary paid by the gov
eminent, $1,000, and from private
practice, $4,000 to $4,000; general
medical practitioners not attached to
any clinic, $4,000 to $500; the aver
age income of a dentist being $4,000"

BLIGHTLNG WORDS

If the merely idle word is one day
to be accounted for and judged, what
of the untrue, impure, the profane, the
malignant and cruel words with which
this earthly air is continually charged?
Only movement of the lips, mo-
lnent's stirring of the air, and all is ST.
lent, as though the word had never
been spoken; yet fellow-creature
happiness has been blighted; heavy
burden has been made still heavier TO
bear, heart has been robbed of its
guilelessness and trust; the seed has
been Suwn of a career that ends in ruin
aud death. Those words are not dead.
Though they seem to be buried in ev-
erlasting Oblivion, yet when the judg-
ment throne is set and earth'S myriads
are gathered together to be 10y their
words justified or by their words con-
demned, they will return with solemn
reverberating echo out Of the darkness
of the past and fall with dsmay and
shame on the ears Of those who spoke
them. And those words faithful pure,
begin--passing to and fro among men
like white-wing,d angels, carrying
messages of love and hope and healing
from heaven; words almost divine in
their ennobling influence, helping US
ever onward and upward along ile's
Journey those, too, will awaken from
their sacred slumber, and amid the
grateful lnurmur OF the multitudes
whom they have gladdened, conforted
and saved, their blessed sound viii be
heard on earth once more.
, Keep watch of your words, my da RE
ingS,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like bees fresh honey,
Like bees, they have terrible stings.
They@can bless, like the warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten lonely life;
They can cut, in the bitter contest,
Like an open, two edged knife"

DIET FOR THE WAR HORSES
Quantity of Oats Is Restricted to Make
the German Supply
Go Further.

The German government has re-
stricted the quantity of oats which
may be given to horse to 2@ to 80
pounds daily, and German horse own
ers are afraid that this restriction will
injuriously affect the health and use
fulness of their animals. In a recent
issue of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger
Doctor Klinger, city veterinary, shows
that these fears are grOundless. His
experiments, carried on during many
years with large numbers of horses
convinced him that maize forms a
very satisfactory substitute for oats
At present, however maize is as
scarce as oats, so that some other sub
stitute must be found. The most OBJ
vious one Is potatoes, which are very
abundant and have been stored in
great quantities by all German com
munities.
Potatoes differ from maize, chiefly
in containing a little less starch and
considerably less digestible albumeu.
The deficiency in starch can be met by
increasing the ration, and the def.
cheney in albumen can be compensated
by adding a small quantity of some
food that is rich IN albumen.

is the sweet refrain Of popular hymn.
We don't want to throw any cold water
on the honest efforts of this pious poet,
but we do wish he had directed his en-
ergies to the improvement of the home
down here. When man or woman
thinks of the "Home over there" SO
much that the home below the clouds
get but little attention, we think that
kind OF pety is not practical. Think
of The home that you occupy, and try
to make it better, happier, and purer,
The Home over there is in better
hands, and won't need your exclusive
attention until YOU get there.

Build the silo now, because the

The silo furnishes succulent, palata-

The silo preserves the corn crop
with the minimum amount Of loss, as
the entire plant is made fit for food.
The slo doubles the number of dairy
or beef animals that can be kept on
farm.
The slo economies space time,
and building costs in providing storage
room for the crop.
The slo equalizes the supply Of feed,
by carrying a surplus over, in good
condition, from one year to another.
The silo can be used for ensiling
clover or alfalfa during a spell Of wet

to cure it for hay.
