LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
All Not Guilty Because One oversteps
 Bounds.

6oun0S.
 MT. Editor: The comment of Ob- server on certain medical questions is interesting and thought -stimulating and 1t raises fundamental points
 1t is, indeed, distressing that in the medical profession there are those who will split fees, take percentages on prescriptions, and profit in the stindry low-beiugs tn misfortune. But Ob- server commits this fallacy-of sup posing that because individuals over step the bounds. all medical men are combined in trust that threatens the liberty of the people, and that no long, CT is a mans house his castle when the doctor knocks. There Is a tyranny, if we wish to call 1t such-the tyranny of Nature, from whose laws no man may escape-and the medical man, as seeker, and interpreter and supporter of these laws as they apply to human health. may indeed be a tyraht. But we prefer to regard him as man who by his knowledge of Tact, points the way to the freedom that comes with law and order. It is not so many years ago that Stevenson wrote of the physician as "the flower (such as it is) of our civilization; and when that stage of man is done with, and only remembered to be marvelled at in history he will be thought to have shared as little in the defects of the period. and most notably exhibited the virtues of the race;" and we imagine that there are people still left to agree with him.
 Judicial standards in any conrnu- nifty reflect fairly accurately the ci1sr- acter and the state of enlightenment of that community. It is not a par ticularly pleasing commentary if there cannot be found there. for the exam ination of our school children, men of requisite skill and of honor. In the field of preventive medicine-and 1t is cheaper to prevent than to cure dis- ease-there is no work much more ir1- portar1t, educationaily, economically or sociologically. than proper attention paid to the growing child. Get rid of adenoids, cure defective sight check incipient tubercu1osis-to mention the most obvious things-and there is un- told increase in efiiciency and happi- ness. The work should be done-it matters little by what officer or under what system.
 We agree with Observer that there are many things best left with God. but we are not sure that germs are among them. We do not believe that Observer would be willing to subtract from the progress of mankind the work and the results of the work, of Pasteur and Koch and Lister, or even in our own generation that Of Tru- deau and of Strong. It may be cruel wells island, but Observer, we ven ture. wouldn't like to have her cook ing in his Kitchen 1t is true that all our science. and medicine in particu- lar, is just a drop in the infinite un- known, but here we are, willy -tilly, in world of entrancing mysteries and possibilities. and why not ham mer away at some of them as best we can, believing as our philosophy of life that ito travel hopefully is better than to arrive, and the true Success is to labor.''

 MT. Editor: I want to say a few words In regard to birds. For the past ten years have had a box in tree close to my house in which to keep feed from ThanksgivinE to spring. This morning I counted at one time six bluejays and about twenty small birds. They seemed to think 1t was all right and had a good time My wife wanted to see if they would come closer and wanted me to put some grain on the window sill, which I did. In a short time the birds were eating there just the same. I was reading my Bulletin at the time. Now hardly know which I like best-the birds or my morning paper.

They are the Montenegrins Of the in

rickety residence in the lower east side
quarters which had been vacated by a

One room served as kitchen, dining

filled with beds set as close as pos
