TO DOCTORS WHO GO AWAY.
rCedar Rapids Republican,

We have to spare $4,000 OF our doc
tors, 1t may, for about that many may
be called for in Europe. Does it mean
that the doctors who remain at home
will gobble up the practices of the ones
who go to the front! We think not.
We think it will be the opposite. The
doctors who return from the front
will get the favors In the future. not
only because they have been doing
patriotic duties abroad, but because
they will come back better fitted for
their work here. The things they are
going to learn in the big hospitals will
count great deal toward their better
equipment for their profession. Those
who go should have no fears for the
future, the people will appreciate what
they are going to do for their sons and
brothers on the battle fronts. In the
end, we do not believe that any one -
going to suffer in the least from aris-
ing to the needs Of the patriotism OF
the hour The men who will suffer
most are those who are not willing to
do their share of the worlds work.
