There is no evidence that the Ger

GERMAN SOCIALIST PRISONERS

have been recently captured in the

the socialists of Germany are merely
continuing the war for the purpose
of making certain a revolution in

en- prisoner in the capture of the IA

just come from the aeroplane factor

some time previously employed. He
stated he was member of the Soc

to state his objects of the war, he
gave the novel reply:
Each belligerent should pay its
own costs involved by the war, Bel
gium included. Alsace and Lorraine
should be returned to France"
But why are you then making war

Merely to make a revolution GER

DR.. Richard c. Cabot, who is head
Of the Massachusetts General Hospi-
sal, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
.ect of Better Doctoring for Less
Money"
He says that "a new era has come
N the practice Of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage of
medical work in which the doctor was
peddler selling goods from house to
mouse, into the more advanced and
sensible era in which the doctor stays
at his place of business, like anyone
else who has goods to sell, and the
people who want these goods come
20 him. The shop where he has his
goods to sell is generally called a
hospital and he has associated with
him there a body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers of any Industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings of satisfactory division
of labor and specialization of func-
ton. Therefore, he can give the pub
lie much better article for less mon
ey.
"The article l refer to is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This is just what DR.. Pierce has
been doing at the Invalid's Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. DR.. V. NJ. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee H.
Smith, who is vice president and head
surgical director and operator, and
there are dozen other physicians
and specialists as well as four chem.
lists, and the poor and the very ricf
get the best medical attention. AS DR.
