PEN POPULATION
 NEARLY DOUBLED
Increase During the Last Two Years Astounding, Says Report Of
 Commissioners.

Little Rock, April 9.-The per- centage of increase among whites in the state penitentiary is greater than that among the negroes, ac- cording to the monthly report of the penitentiary commission, just filed with Governor Hays. The report, which is the last for the biennial period since the establishment of the present prison commission, says that 'it is rather an astounding fact that during the two years the prison population has almost dou- bled."
 April l, 1913, there were 1S1 whites and 470 blacks and 16 black females in the prison. Yesterday there were 1,249 prisoners, includ- ing 3SS whites, S33 blacks and 28 black females. During March 145 prisoners were received, by far the largest number in one month in the history of the institution, the report says. The prisoners released number TT.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Paragould People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kid
 ney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are many. Disordered kidneys often excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back may ache, headaches and dizzy spells may oc- Lcur and the victim is often weight ed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warn ings and there is danger, Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better endorsed kidney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Paragould proof of their merit.
 F. R. Clark, '502 N. Third St, Paragould, Ark, says: "One of our family complained of lame back and weak kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills strengthened the back and made the kidneys normal"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Clark recommends. Eos ] ter-Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y. (advt. )

DR.. HAGGARD SPEAKS
AT SAN FRANCISCO
Secret Division of Fee Between
Physician and Surgeon.

San Francisco, June 21.-Th
secret division of fees between ply
sicians and surgeons is "crimina
dishonesty" said DR.. William D
Haggard, of Nashville, who address
ed meeting here to-day of the Eel
lows of the American College of sur
geons.
"Fee-splitting," Dr. Haggard de
clared, lis criminal, because it leads
first, to unnecessary operations; sec
ond, to incompetent work resulting
in unnecessary operations; second
to incompetent work resulting in un-
necessary death; and, third, to a
constant lowering of all moral and
professional standards in medicine
The practice has all thru it the ele-
ment of theft.
when a physician refers a pa
tient to a surgeon under an agree
ment that the surgeon later is to
divide with him the fee collected,
the crime is not primarily one
against the pocketbook of the pa
tient. 1t is a crime against the
health or life of the patient. This
practice means that the physician
auctions off his patient to the high
est bidder, who naturally is the
most incompetent and INSCRIPTIONS
surgeon available.
Another evil is that the surgeon
feels under obligation to accept the
diagnosis of the physician to oper-
ate, whether or not, on examination,
he agrees with the diagnosis of the
physician. If he does not operate
in such cases he discredits the abili-
ty of the physician and loses fur
Their business with him. Thus is
perpetrated the meanest of crimes
an unnecessary surgical operation.
1.-THE sovereign remedy for COM
mission giving by surgeons is pub
licity. If we don't cure the evil by
determination, the public will do it
by legislation and the elimination
of the unfit. The physician who
diagnoses a case is quite as much
entitled to compensation as is the
surgeon, but separate bills should
be rendered by the physicians and
the surgeon to the patient In
other words, the patient should al
ways know what he is paying for.
To stamp this practice out of the
profession of medicine is one of the
chief tasks. of the American College
of Surgeons"
