The question of larger pensions for
the veterans is probably the most i'm

the high food prices prevailing and
likely to prevail for some time to
come make it practical impossible

it is generally believed that if this

GEORGIA BEHIND
ON WAR DOCTORS
HEAD OF MEDICAL BRANCH
URGES YOUNG PHYSICIANS
TO VOLUNTEER.

The News is requested by DR.. l..
Sage Hardin, of Atlanta, chairman of
the medical section for Georgia of
the council of national defense, to
publish the following appeal for med
ical volunteers in the war:
1T is quite pleasing to note that
Texas without selective conscription
received 500 volunteers for medical
service, which was over her quota.
1t is indeed a reflection upon the
state of Georgia that at present we
have only 100 applicants out of the
400 required.
The United States government is
handling billions of dollars and as
sembling 100000 men, and for these
need 10000 doctors Immediately.
There have been 1000 applications,
and it is distressing to note that only
1,150 of this number are under 35
years old. Men under this age must
bear the burden of medical work on
the battlefield, as the older men can
not stand up under it, the work be-
ing too strenuous; yet so per cent of
the present volunteers are older men,
Those who have had hospital expe-
rience are urged to make application
at one of the posts for early eXamina-
ton, and it is advisable for those who
are within the CONSUMPTION limit to
prepare themselves for examination
for the medical reserve corps after
they have been called, in case they
do not apply before.
| am mailing to every physician in
Georgia under 35 years of age some
Instructions and asking for informa-
ton which should be answered
promptly, as it is necessary to know
the exact standing of each man with
in these limits, that the government
may know what steps to take in or
der to bring forward the quota of
men for Georgia.
The negro doctor is asked TO COM
ply with these instructions, as he is
also in demand"

GENERAL OFFICERS TO BE
NAMED AT TRAINING CAMPS

Washington, Aug" 1.-The appoint

month is about the best thing for
the laborer that can happen to
him. There is many a man who
would not receive any attention
whatever if his fee was not paid
for him out of his wages. The
man who has been sick or injured
in the mine or the woods does not
object but the fellow who has
kept well is the one who makes
the holler on the fee. The doc
tor fee collected from a family
man also includes attention for
the wife and children and many
a man would be bankrupt ii
forced to pay regular doctor's s
charges for himself and family.
A man taken sick in the lumber
camp is at once taken to the hos
pital and in addition to his med
icine also receives hospital atten-
ton; all for ST a month. This in
itself is worth much to the la
borer especially when hospital
fees are rated from $15 to $50 per
week.

Representative Strand on his

Representative Bessette has in

to collect the one dollar doctor

in some lumber camps gets about
as much attention as sick dog,

several thousand dollars a month
off the men is a steal or rather a

gravel at 40 cents yard is more than
some of the city fathers can under

price besides the fact that the county
