DOCTORS BILL NOT DREADED
United States Consul Deedmeyer, Sta
toned at Prague, E~numerates
Physicians Rates.

According to a report from United
States Consul Frank Deedmeyer, sta
toned at Prague, one may at least be
Ill in Austria and not dread the ex
orbitant doctors bill that follows:
THE city of Prague, with a popula.
ton of about 100000, has only about
800 physicians, or n for every 7,500
persons. A doctor charges for a day.
time call in the middle class family
only 60 cents. or ten cents more than
II the patient calls on him in his Of.
nee. 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-
scriptions.
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 80 cents q
day for the first year, with an annual
increase of 20 cents a month; at SAM.
tariums, from six to eight dollars a
week; at private houses, from eighty
cents to IN dollar a 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,
80 cents to 81; amalgam filling, 80
cents to So, 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,
$1,400 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"

GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food.

strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by selecting food that

The Education Of the Will.

"Know Thyself" is an important
precept, but Govern Thyself" is not
less important. Parents should never
speak of breaking a child's will"
They might just as wisely speak of
breaking its backbone. The aim must
be to educate the will, not to break it.
Great is the peril of the boy who can
not say No" Such a boy is mere
driftwood on the stream of life. Moth
ing truly great is achieved in life with
out a resolute will. 1t is the executive
power of the soul. Nothing is more

at Leon Reconciliation in
Mexico Is Looked For.

Washington.-Coupled with reports
from Mexico that the Carranza Gen
eral Obregon had won an important
victory over the forces of Generals
Villa and Angeles at Leon, it was said
that informal efforts-as yet without
official sanction-were being made by
Mexicans identified with the Villa
ton with the view of establishing a
reconciliation with the Carranza fac
ton with the view of establishign a
Government that could claim recogni-
ton at the hands of the United States.
Eliseo Arrendondo, Washington rep
resentative of General Carranza, re-
ceived a message from a Carranza
Consul on the border saying he had
been approached by a Villa official,
speaking presumably with authority,
to learn what could be done to initiate
peace negotiations. The message
was forwarded without comment by
Mr.. Arrendondo to General Carranza
at Vera Cruz.
Il have nothing official, and can,
therefore, make no comment" said
Mr.. Arredondo.
Enrique c. Llorente OF the Villa-Za-
pata coalition said he had no official
advices that any peace parleys had
begun, adding that he believed any
preliminaries in this connection would
be arranged through his agency. He
said he had received a telegram from
Miguel Diaz Lombardo, Secretary of
State of the Villa-Zapata Government,
in which the latter announced his de-
parture from Chihuahua for Leon to
confer with General Villa on the gen.
eral situation.
