MODERN METHODS

The Electro-Medical Doctors. as the
name implies. is an association Of ex-
pert medical specialists and electro
therapists who have organized new
school Of medicine. a new and more
positive system Of treating human all
ments. For centuries the world has
been full Of different cults" and
"isms" in medicine: we have had the
old root and herb DOCTOR" with his
bitter potions; the Allopatha with
pills and Quinine in heroic doses; the
aomeopah with his triturations ana
intnitestnlal doses; the Eclectic. the
Osteopath; We were doctored by heat,
by electricity; by baths at springs and
by a multitude of men and methods.
Some OF the patients were cured. some
died who should have been cured. It
was impossible for the average per-
son to say which method Of treating
diseases was the best and the phy5:-
clans Of the various schools were so
biased that they could see good only
IN their own methods of treating Gl5'
eases; all others were necessarily had:
Evidently there MAS some good in all
OF them for they all cured some cases;
also there IS bad in all for all fall at
times and allow misery to remain and
death 10 come when cure should
have been effected.
A tremendous stride forward was
made when the. now system Of treat
ment of the Etcctro-Medical Doctors
was formed. The founders o: the new
system OF treatment consisted az Snt-
cialists from the various schools OF
practlce-Eclectics, Homeopathic, Alto
paths, regulars, and irregulars. vino
dropped their personal prejudicas and
formed a new system Of treatment
thai embraced all the good points OF
the old methods and left out the bad
The result Of :lr2 efforts Of these sre-
cialists of the Various schools Is the
wonderful system Of treatment n1T
used by the Elcctro-Mrdical Doctora.
All this was not accomplished in ?
day or week but has taken years OF
patient work by these specialists IN
their various Offices. Homeopathic,
Allopaths, working side By side, each
throwing away his old ideas when he
was convinced there was something
better, until at last out Of the old
chaos and confusion came the new
and modern system as Is now used by
the Elnrtro-M eiical Doctors.
The loss 10 these specialists was
great. not only by their labor Of form
ing a new system Of treatment. but
also In the effect it cost them to ig-
more their pride in the various schools
in which they were educated. But
their reward has been great. for they
have seen health and happiness re-
stored to hundreds and thousands pro-
| nounced ,incurable by old methods.

CROCERS IGNORE
CHANCE TO SELL
PRODUCE CHEAP

In response to call issued by Mayor
Robbins for conference with the re
tail garden produce dealers of the city.
at the city hall last night, just two
grocerymen appeared. President Bavia
of the board, who was to preside over
this meeting, was greatly disappointed.
The conference was called for the
purpose of suggesting a plan whereby
local retailers could purchase southern
grown produce direct, eliminating the
various middle-men's profits, and,
thereby, selling to the consumers at a
greatly reduced price.
1T appears that the retailers OF this
city are not much interested in pro-
viding their patrons with cheaper pro.
duce," remarked City Food Inspector
George Mckinley.
City May Compel Interest.
Perhaps they will become interest
ed when the city brings in a carload
or two Of first grade produce and mar
kets the same at just prices" remark
ed Mr.. Bavis
He then explained the city's direct
purchase plan. announced in The Pal
ladium recently. to the two retailers
who were present and they expressed
the opinion that the plan was q prac.
tical one.
No plans have been formulated by
the city as yet In regard to marketing
southern-grown produce, at prices es-
tablished through the elimination Of
middle-men's profits. A. . municipal
enterprise.
Mckinley states that certain com.
mission dealers have entered vigorous
protests against the direct purchase
plan and he says that even some Of the
retailers have made objections to the
introduction of such methods in the
fight against the high cost Of living.
Cause Of High Prices
e. B. Davis. a representative Of the
Gulf Coast Produce Exchange which
is leading an assault on the High Cost
% Living. told how a multiplicity Of
commissions boost the prices of food
stuffs
Food products raised in the south
are purchased by local commission
and shipped to Cincinnati or some
other distributing point where they
are sold to a commission in Rich
mond," he said. This causes exorbi-
tant profits to be attached to the
foodstuffs."
Another meeting will be held next
Friday night at the City hall. A rep
resentative of the Gulf Coast Ex-
change will be present.
"The recent food riots in Chicago
and elsewhere justify the large in
terest the city administration Is TAX
ing in the campaign to reduce COSTS"
Bavis told the merchants.

Hollweg Gets Blame
For German Failure

COPENHAGEN. (via London). May
s.-The conservatives and Pan-Ger.
mans have now brought up their heavy
artillery in the battle against Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg and
boldly lay the blame for the long
duration Of the war at his door.
The conservative Deutsche Tages
Zeitung explains that three or four
days delay in German mobilization at
the outset Of the war, due to the chan
cellor's hesitant policy. caused the loss
of the battle of the Marne.
The paper holds that the troops that
were detached to Russian invasion OF
East Prussia would have been suffic.
lent to change the defeat Of General
Won Kluck's army into q victory and
that in that case the war would have
ended in a speedy and decisive Ger
man triumph.
