are executed around the miserable
wretches as the fagots are lighted and
the regular doctors proceed to burn
them at the stake.
Now, as a matter of fact, 1t would
be Just as logical to condemn the en-
tire medical profession because of the
who perform abortions, and indulge
in other forms of Illegal practice.
Let it be admitted that folk get sick,
and that most of them would get well
if they behaved themselves, breathed
deeply of fresh air, took a bit Of exer-
else, forgave or forget their enemies
and kept away from doctors and medi-
cines of any kind. The taking of medi-
cine, however, has a certain psyche
+, logical effect, and some drugs possess
the property of changing conditions in
the human body. The practice of
medicine, at best is simply a game
/ of guess work, because the action of
| drugs varies to a remarkable degree
upon different individuals. The rea-
son there are so very many doctors
and SO very many medicines is because
the dear people demand a variety, SO
they can change from one to another
when results are unsatisfactory, which
is frequently the case.
| In America there are some 10000
patent medicines. and possibly 2 pei
cent are downright fakes and frauds
The other 9s per cent are made from
formulas probably written originally
by regular" physicians. although we
are unable to tell you what regular
physician Is. Now, 1t seems that IL q
man makes good remedy. 1t is hardly
criminal to let the public know about
1T, and the best way to let the public
know is by advertising. If a man
advertises remedy that is not good
it only question of time until he will
find no sale for it.
\ 1t happens that men who advertise
very often get rich, while men who
don't advertise very often go broke

of the business established by adver-
Users of patent medicines, and for
quite a while have been trying to get
a monopoly on the medicine industry
through the enactment of laws. That
is to say, if they can make it illegal
for anybody but an organization doc
tor to treat people who are ailing. they
will soon be able to sell their Fords
and buy Packards.
WHAT is THE loGlC7
Now, if the doctors cured the peo-
pie they treat, we would be up in front
shouting our heads off for them, but
the various graveyards scattered over
the countryside are mute testimony to
their impotency. The possession of a
sheepskin is not proof of skill, and a
doctors frequent duty is to fill out
death certificates. What Is the logic
of the reformers who demand that
none may sell medicine except grad
yates of a medical college? Why, ii
is analogous to insisting that no one
shall write books but college gradu-
ates no one shall touch upon religion
but ordained preachers; no one shall
go into business but graduates of a
/
publish a paper except graduates OF
school of journalism; no one shall
bake a pie except those who follow the
recipes in The Homely Ladies' Jour-

BOOST

Boost, and the world boosts with you;
Knock, and you're on the shelf;
For the world gets sick of the one who
kicks
And wishes he'd kick himself.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain:
If you happen to fall, don't lie there
and bawl,
But get up and boost again.
Boost for the towns advancement,
Boost for the things sublime;
For the chap that's found on the top
most round
Is the booster every time.

appeared before Governor Mccall, asking him to appeal to congress to enact prohibition law for the period of the war. Bishop Lawrence said
 The change in public sentiment on prohibition has been simply enor- nous. There is the question of econ omy of grain and other products. the question of drawing men now manu- featuring liquors into munitions and all kinds of production, the question of saying money in police. iails, and aims Houses the question of creaing Q more efficient and thoroughly healthy body of troops All these things are going to strike home hard for prohibition.
 Dr. Charles W. Eliot pointed ou, the need of protecting tho health of our armies by the prohibition Of al- coholic drink:
 The greatest sap of the efficiency of an army in the present war in EJrope is venereal disease Before prostitution and brothels always goes the saloon or the free chance to get Q drink. As a military measure We want prohibition first of the saloon and next of the brothel Here IS a chance to use the military power of the government to prevent these enormous evils which exist wherever large numbers of young men arc gathered together separated from the usual restraints of home and friendly neighbor
 The experience of the Canadian and Australian troops after they ar rived in England and now on the French front demonstrates the fact that the venereal disease is one of the worst enemies cf the efficiency of an army"

 .Business as usual would aggraVate ever yevil growing out of period or expansion, causing the government to receive least value for it's expenditures and hampering it at every point Tn the conduct of the war. Every economy Tn the use of the product of labor and every increase in the efficiency and output of labor cannot fail to be di- rectly helpful to the government in its war efforts and will render easier the industrial and commercial but 1t IS ln-
 evitable that the diversion of effort from channels of peace to those of war

 Credit is easy and conditions are gen. orally favorable for the flotation of this districts share of government loans.
 With such huge financing, temporary dislocations of funds can hardly fail to appear here and there, but the sec retary of the ertasury will deposit in member and non member banks the proceeds of payments on Liberty Loan bonds, withdrawing the funds as need ed.

 How Women Can Help
 The ways are many but one of the. best is to study economy and conser- vation not only of food and money but of time and strength Economy and thrift are much abused words but to me mean teh opposite of waste
 The old proverb 'Willful waste brings woeim want, We had best accept as an axiom than prove by experience.
 There is much wasting of time these days. The woman who can spend hours on an intricate pattern of crocheting to decorate a guest towel to be laid away for future use is as unpa triotic as the woman who throws the remnant of yesterdays loaf in the garbage can.
 There are several ways of economiz- ing. I think that haven't been men, toned. The delivering of goods is ex- tfenenly wasteful as it is practceG al most everywhere. l have in mind a store in another city that gave d con- siderable discount but no goods deliv- cred. Half the delivery of goods mighv well be saved if women would exercise a little thought and cooperate with merchants and these things will be 'iNNSLN h'luS No us WHtH our UltI De- gin leaving for the front.
 We must look out for false economies Don't curtain expenses unless you must else hoarding will begin and don't make your first try by turning off the wash woman. The person who can afford lamb chops should buy them and nui cheap cuts.
 The right spirit was shown by a wo- man of wealth who said they were m9t ing some extensive improvements this year on their house and grounds but also added we are going to try and save all the fruit that has formerly gone to waste and plant some food crops sto 1 help out and I will give money to hell the Red Cross work for I would be ar 1 inefficient worker in the sewing room l but 1 can help with materials.
