some of us put it off forever, or
until judgment day, when every
thing, it is supposed, is settled.
We ought to be ashamed of it
too. The ethics of the medical
profession forbid it's members to
advertise their profession, far
ther than a small card in the pa
pers, or to put themselves for
ward prominently before the
public in any way, and for that
reason few of us realize just
what our physicians mean to US,
until we are despartely sick, and
then we forget all about that as
soon as we get we'll.
The average physician is not
only an angel of mercy, but is in
variably a man of the highest
type of honor. Into his keeping
necessarily must go family and
individual secrets, which would
ruin half the town, were they
made public. Yet it is to the
honor of the profession that rare
ly is a confidence abused. A
thousand wild horses can't make
a doctor tell things that would
injure even his worst enemy,
when these secrets are learned
by reason of his professional
services. His lips are sealed,

Doctors and the Grippe

The following true preachment,
taken from the Sheridan Head
light, is applicable just at this
time to McCrory, where there
are hundreds of cases of grippe be-
ing cared for, which epidemic,
prevalent in most every home,
is taxing the physical and pro-
fessional capacity of ou r
physicians:
with the grippe raging in
Grant county, just as it is all over
the United States, our demand
for doctors far exceeds the sup
ply. Scarcely a home in Sheri-
dan and vicinity has escaped the
ravages of this malady, disease,
affection, scourge, plague-or
whatever it may be called. Six
hundred and fifty people died in
Philadelphia within three days
from it, and all over the north,
east, south and west it is raging,
and here in Arkansas it is prob
ably in it's lightest form which
is bad enough, goodness knows.
And right here the thought is
suggested that we all ought to
appreciate and honor our phys
icians more and pay 'em, too,
when we can. Since this cpl
demic Of grippe started, every
doctor in town with possibly
one exception has been down
with the disease it having been
contracted while trying to serve
others, and in an attempt to re-
lieve suffering.
All honor to our doctors.
They lead hard lives, lives that
are devoted to service for their
fellow men, and to relieving suf-
fering, the noblest calling in the
world. Imagine how you would
like to roll out of a good, warm bed
at 2 o'clock of the morning, with
the thermometer almost at zero,
when you had slept not more
than three hours for a week,
when every instinct and impulse
was calling and urging you to
go back to bed, then ride ten
miles over bad roads to see and
relieve some person who is i'll
and in pain. You wouldn't do it
twice for all the money in Grant
county, yet such is common ex-
perience of every doctor in Sherl-
dan. and many times they fail to
collect a bloomin' penny for their
labor and sacrifice. We all ought
to pay our doctors just as prompt
ly as possible, but we usually put
that off till the very last, and

INQUIRY IS STARTED
D. c. Heads Investigating
Menace of Trolley Poles on
Busy Thoroughfares.
DANGER TO TRAVELLERS
TOLD IN POLICE REPORT

Spurred by the recommendation
of Engineer Commissioner Kutz
and the Endorsement of his recon-
mendation by the Washington
Safety First Association and
other civic organizations, the Dis
trict Commissioners today started
what they promise will be an ex-
haustive investigation into the
menace caused by trolley poles in
busy thoroughfares. 1t was
learned at the Offices of the Com
missioners that efforts will be
made to have trolley poles re-
moved from such places. where
they are a menace to lives of
motorists and other travellers
along busy highways.
Many Motorists Use Road.
The need for such action was empha-
sized by the fatal accident on the
Bladensburg road Tuesday morning when
an automobile struck a pole. AS a
result the police are keeping a strict
watch along that stretch and a number
Of arrests for speeding were made last
night. The report to police headquar-
ters is that this road is used by a
large number of motorists entering and
leaving Washington, and that it is a
busy thoroughfare and precautions for
the safety of these automobilists
should be taken.
The dangerous location of the poles
on the Bladensburg road was also
brought out at the coroner's inquest
last evening inquiring into the fatal
collision Tuesday morning. Attention of
the Commissioners has also been di-
rected to trolley poles along Con-
necticut avenue in the center of the
thoroughfare by the Chevy Chase Cfti-
zens' Association, which urges that
they be removed to avoid danger at
intersecting thoroughfares.

result of the death of William NJ. Schaf-
fer of sol 18th street. who was thrown

7W0PR0bAbLY Die
IN COLLEGE BLAZE
Members Of the Faculty Of St.
Louis Institution Are
Missing. =

ST. LOUIS. Mo, October 5.-Fire to-
day destroyed the main building of
Christian Brothers College here. TWO
missing, and are believed to. have per-
ished, and an assistant nurse, who
jumped from an upper window, was
seriously hurt.
All members Of the faculty save two
and all students were accounted for.
Most of the students had not reached
the college when the fire started.
Their Escape Cut of.
The two missing faculty members are
Brother Cormac. ninety-three years old,
and Brother Clement. seventy-two
years old. Their room on the fifth
floor Of the inarmary was swept by
the fire. It is believed neither could
have escaped.
The assistant nurse who was injured
was Lewis Mclean, who jumped from
a flfth-story window in the infrmary
as firemen were climbing ladders to
rescue him. His injuries may prove
fatal
The fire was discovered by the COL
lege registrar as he was walking up
stairs to the room where Brothers Cor
mac and Clements were being attended
by Mclean. At that time more than 100
boarding students and thirty or forty
members Of the faculty were at break
fast. The registrar saw flames creep
ing across the fifth floor. Students
gathered on the campus saw Mclean
climb to the window sill and leap. Two
scaling ladders, but just then the flames
enveloped Mclean and he leaped to the
lawn below.
Trouble Getting Water.
The building destroyed was a six
story structure. Apparently the fire
started on the fourth or fifth floor near
the elevator shaft, and spread quickly.
The college building was a block
from the nearest water plugs and fire.
men were delayed in getting streams
of water on the blaze. Water pressure
also was Inadequate. due to the fact
that the building was on a high eleva-
ton.
The sacred vessels in the college
chapel were rescued by brothers. The
natural history and curio museum in
the corridor was destroyed. This fnu-
believed to have perished in the fire.
About noon the fourth floor of the
college building collapsed and seven
TO twenty f1remen plunged to the base
ment. Three were taken out badly In
1ured. Others are in the wreckage.

D. c. Heads to Take Up
Problem on Finishing
Budget Consideration

Just now the District Commissioner
are bending every effort to complete
the annual estimates by October is, and
have little time for consideration OF
other matters. but the Bladensburg road
problem will be brought up at the ear
liest possible moment. It Is probable
that the District heads will look over
the situation at the intersection Of that
thoroughfare with 2sth street, where
the collision Of an automobile with one
of the poles Monday night resulted in
the.death of William NJ. schaffer.
1t is at this point that the poles shift
from the west to the east side of the
tracks. The municipal authorities. it is
stated. have installed additional lights
to minimize the danger at this point
but they believe that the only way en-
tirely to eliminate the danger Is tc
cause the removal of the poles and
their relocation along the curb lines.
This would mean the installation o1
about as many poles again as are now
in place and would involve considerable
expense.
There is some question as to the au-
thority of the Commissioners for sad
ding this expense on the railway COM
pany. and this will be one of the first
matters to be Investigated.
A solution of the problem that would
be most satisfactory to the Commits
sioners would be decision by the rail-
way company to double-track along
Bladensburg road. In this event there
would be no objection to a line OF
poles between the tracks. and the Com
missioners probably would seek an ap-
preparation for widening the street to
ninety feet.
The necessary ground for the wild.
ening of Bladensburg road to ninety
feet has been acquired, but the Com
missioners do not consider the traffic
demands necessitate this improvement
being made at the present time. They
believe that the extension of Rhode Is.
land avenue to the District line, al
provided for in the current appropria-
tion act, will result In considerably
reducing the traffic over Bladensbure
road
