DOCTORS REFUSE
TO ENDORSE DRYS
Against Riding AntiSaIoon-
League Political Water
Wagon

Pennsylvania physicians refused to
be made an adjunct TO the Anti-Saloon
League political cart. They went on
record as recognizing the evil effect
of excessive use OF distilled liquors as
beverages, but they said 1t wasn't
the province OF the Pennsylvania Med
ical Society to ENTER the political
field, either for or against liquor legis-
lation." In the bal gain, many of them
admitted that they liked their cock.
tails, and because they liked them
couldn't consistently vote against
them.
The refusal of the medical men to
Jump into the thick of the liquor fight
was only one of many important de-
velopments at the third days sessions
of the 65th annual meeting OF the
Pennsylvania Medical Society at the
Bellevue Stratford. Heat was ad.
vanced by noted men as cure for
cancer and tuberculosis. Provision for
safeguarding persons mentally depress-
ed and likely to commit suicide or de-
velop insanity, was advocated. Uni
form legislation through the country
that will prevent inexperienced sur
geons from performing major opera
tions also was urged.
Dr. Ida Stewart-Cogill, one of the
states leading female physicians, and
DR.. William II. Walsh, superintendent
of the Children's Hospital, forced the
liquor issue with resolution condemn
ing the use of whisky and brandy ant
asking the state society to support leg
| islation against them. The committee
to which the resolution was referred
recommended mo action and tina
was the action taken.

more and more every year to be pop

house thereby injuring an6 humiliat-
ing herself, she summons an attorney
and alleging that Mrs. AS stairway
was not safe anyway and that Mrs A.
acted maliciously negligent and with
premeditated aforethought allowed
her to walk on the stairs, she files
petition for damages.
But One Breach of Promise Suit.
The number of criminal cases fled

one breach of promise suit was filed

In 1915 sixty-two insanity com

With the possible exception of one
or two all the cases resulted in con

An even more striking comparison
is that between the exposition arrests
