FEE-sPLlTTINo CRIMINAL
Unnecessary Observation-Disclosures and
Surgeons Should Each Send Bill.


Surgeons Should Each Send Bill.
San Francisco, June 21.-The sec
ret division Of fees between physi
clans and surgeons is criminal dis
honesty said Dr. William d. Hag
gard of Nashville, who addressed d
meeting here today OF the Fellows OF
the American College Of Surgeons
"Fee-splitng." Doctor Haggard
declared. is criminal because 1t
leads first to unnecessary operations;
second, to incompetent work result
ing in unnecessary death; and third,
10 a constant lowering of the moral
and professional standards in medl-
cine. The practice has all through 1t
the element of THEFT.
when a physician refers patient
to a surgeon the latter is to divide
with him the fee collected the crime is
not primarily ore against the pocket
book of the patient. 1t is a crime
against the health or life of the pat
lent. This practice means that the
physician auction off his patient to
the highest bidder who naturally is
the most incompetent and unscrupu-
lous surgeon available.
another evil is that the surgeon
feels under obligation to accept the
diagnosis of the physician to operate,
whether or not ON examination he
agrees with the diagnosis of the ply
stefan If he does not operate in
such cases he disoredits the ability
Of the physician and loses further
business with him. Thus is perpetrat-
ed the meanest of crimes an unneces-
sary surgical operation
THE sovereign remedy for COM
mission giving by surgeons and bribe-
taking by physicians is publicity II
we don't cure the evil by eXtermina-
ton the public will do it by legisla-
tion and the elimination of the unfit.
The physician who diagnoses case
is quite as much entitled to compen-
sation as is the surgeon, but separate
bills should be rendered by the ply
stefan and the surgeon to the patient
In other words, the patient should
always know what he is paying for,
To stamp this practice out of the pro-
fession of medicine is one of the
chief tasks of the American College
Of Surgeons"

The death Of "a Dartmouth. graduate
who was attending the commence
ment exercises of the college and
killed two or three days ago in an
automobile accident was apparent
ly due to the reckless driv-
ing of a White River juno
ton garage employee This is
only one of many. A well known
citizen of Bennington few days ago
told the writer that he had stopped
hiring cars from certain garage be-
cause the drivers they sent out were
too reckless and insisted OH speed
ing in spite of the protests of the
passengers. Others have andoubt-
eddy had the same experience.
The work of driving al automo-
bile appeals to an active young
man and it is not strange that he
likes to run the car at speed WHICH
is distasteful TO many middle aged
and older people who are not so ac-
tive or so daring and who also desire
to enjoy the beauties of the country
instead Of shooting along the high
ways with the speed of a railway
train. Garage owners would do well
to pay more attention to this branch

COOLING Water Without Ice.

TO cool water without using ice get
slender glass test tube from any
drug store. Half fill it with nitrate of
ammonia salts, fill up with water, cork
t;s3,tly. Shake till the salt is dissolv-
cd. BE careful to wipe the outside of
the tube dry in order that all traces of
the nitrate may be removed. Place
this tube into glass of water and agi-
tate as you would with spoon. The
water is rapidly chilled. The nitrate
of ammonia salts can be bought at any
chemists.

Mother.

The one who loves you most, the one
who is the most loving, is the one who
is the easiest TO please. And that is
the reason children can please their
mothers when they cannot please any
body else. The mother sees something
that nobody else can see. 1t is never
difficult to please your mother; she
loves you so.

IT is somewhat peculiar circumstance that
the high crisIcs and msdcmcanors of which

tite jury appears to have believed, while the

Barnes was not libeled and Colonel Roose-

there is no reason. apparently why it should
