opportunities to make money the present high food

little capital is getting nothing out of it. He has to buy
from hand to mouth and can't get any higher price than
what he paid plus the bare expenses of doing business
But according to him, the wholesale grocer is reapng

This had not been doing any tremendous business,

WANTS DOCTORS, TOO,
TO PREPARE FOR WAR
Medical Journal Tells of Qualities
Needed In an Efficient Mil.
itary Surgeon.

III War Comes" is the heading I'm.
der which the New York Medical Jour-
nal says editorially:
Modern warfare demands the CON-
plete mobilization Of every resource of
the countries involved. Defeat is the
price paid for appropriateness, and the
conquered pays the bills for both sides.
Therefore it pays to be prepared. Ev-
cry war in which the United States
has taken part has accentuated the ne
cessity for and the deDlorable lack of
preliminary preparation.
Surgeon General Lowell in his re-
port for the year 1917 says OF the
war Of 1912: There could be little
doubt that where one man had died
from improper medical treatment ten
had been destroyed from want Of a
knowledge of the many duties peculiar
to an army surgeon The same COM
ment could have been made at the
close of the civil war and of the war
with Spain.

important than In the medical depart.
ments Of the army and the navy. The
public and a large part of the medical
profession enormously assume that be-
cause man Is qualified medical prac.
titioner or surgeon he will therefore
make an efficient medical officer. This
is not true. The military surgeon is
much more than IN efficient surgeon or
a competent practitioner. He must also
understand sanitary tactics; he must
be familiar with the organization of
the medical department and know how
to handle men and material Without
this knowledge he cannot perform the
full measure of his duties. ~. !. IL
Therefore every patriotic physician
should at once enroll in the medical
department of the reserve officers
corps, where he can learn the essen
tials Of military medicine by devoting
q few hours week to home study
without interfering with his practice.
Then when the need comes he can
serve his country acceptably and with
credit to himself and his profession.
Applications for enrolment in the
corps should be addressed to the sur.
geon general Of the army, Washing
