PROCEEDINGS
OF MEDICAL
SOCIETY
BY DR.. A. G. Maybe.

The St. Tammany Parish Medical
Society held its regular monthly
meeting at the Southern Hotel last
Wednesday.
1t being the annual business ses-
sion, scientific papers and report OF
cases were dispensed with. only busi-
ness matters were considered, the
most important of which was the
unanimous adoption by the society
of following minimum fee schedule:
Office consultation, $500; day
calls, $500; night calls, $500; OBJ
stetrical cases, $500; consultation
with other physicians. $1,000; calls
out of town or city limits, $1.0O per
mile.
In commenting on the above it
must be remembered that the doctor
has to pay as much for the neces-
saries of life as the layman, that
drugs, medical supplies and instru-
ments have risen in cost from 25 to
800 per cent, that a doctor, especial
ly the country doctor, must be pre-
pared to properly handle and treat
any and every case in an emergency,
to do which his medicine case must
be we'll stocked with fresh and active
drugs, and in view of the fact that
the majority of drugs deteriorate
and become inert very rapidly. the
constant renewal of same is quite an
item of expense in itself. 1t was
shown that two years ago doctor.
by adding one dollar to the price
of two visits could buy a barrel Of
flour, to-day he must add two dol
lars to the price of four visits to buy
that same barrel of flour, and SO Is
it with all other commodities of life.
Again, the doctor has many another
expense forced on him by his posi-
tion and standing in the community.
to say nothing of his social obliga-
tions.
At the expense of becoming stale
and a "has been" in his calling. q
doctor must keep in touch with the
progress, advances and new discov-
cries in his profession, to do which
means the constant buying OF medi-
cal books and journals, which have
risen 100 per cent in price.
Among those who took an active
part in the discussion Were Doctors
Van Zandt, Paine, Polk, F. F. Young,
Jr., Gautreaux and Maybe.
The application of DR.. Fred r.
Jones. of Madisonville, was referred
to the membership committee.
The next meeting will be held at
Vaudeville on October 9, 1918.

PRICEOF SUGAR
EXPLAINED BY
FOODCOMR.

To All District and Parish Food Ad-
ministrators:
The new seaboard price of nine
cents ex-ref1nery basis bulk granulat-
ed sugar, works out ss follows:
The Wholesaler receives thirty-five
cents per cwt. margin for his Ger
vice. The retailer receives one dol
lar per cwt. margin, and therefore.
the total margins between seaboard
price and the consumer should be a
maximum of one dollar and thirty
five cents per cwt. plus actual freight.
Therefore, you should, through your
city and county administrators, fix q
maximum price to the consumer for
bulk upon above basis. ThA only
applies to sugar sold by reflnertes
after September 9Th.
Neither wholesaler or retailer will
be permitted to average cost ON any
old sugar with any new sugar. They
should not be allowed to advance
prices until present stock at old pric-
es are exhausted, and you should re-
quire any person who advances the
price to new basis to justify it to
your agents.
An example of price on bulk gran
ulated is as follows:
Chicago freight is about 48 cents
per cwt. plus seaboard basis of nine
cents, plus wholesaler and retailer
margin of $1.35 equals $.1083 cost
to customer.
The regulations limiting persons
to two pounds in city and five pounds
in country may now be rescinded,
and you may allow the purchase of
one weeks family supply in large
cities and more in sparsely settled
districts according to decision of the
zone boards, but in no event to ex-
ceed one months supply.
Please notify all retail dealers that
this rule is fair and must be adhered
to literally. Cost of sugar must not
exceed actual invoice cost, plus actual
freight to receiving point. No other
cost item to be added. Violators Of
this rule will not be given a second
chance. Please make clear and i'm
pressive that proper price is as i'm
portant as the limitation per capita.
Administrators please Ax definite
maximum price for your territory
and see that it 10 adhered to. Give
all publicity possible.

Food Administrator Of Louisiana.

Boys Working Re.
serve To Have
Uniforms

Baton Rouge. Sept. 10.-The War
Department has sanctioned a nation
al uniform for the United States
Boys Working Reserve, according to
information received by State Di-
rector Harris from H. w. Wells. as
sociate national director of the or
ganization. This uniform will be
both durable and attractive, and Its
distinctive features will make 1t easi-
ly recognized as the Uniform OF
patriotism for those Louisiana boys
who are so situated that they can
enroll in the Reserve and render val
liable agricultural assistance to the
Government in its prosecution OF the
war.
Assistant Director Wells letter to
State Director Harris. describing the
uniform in detail, follows:
This will inform you that the
War Department has sanctioned a
national uniform for the United
States Boys Working Reserve con-
sisting of hat. coat, belt. breeches,
leggins and shirt.
"The material of the uniform Is a
twilled cotton of an olive drab. On
the right sleeve of the coat is en-
blazoned in red silk ~. 81. The
same design appears in red upon the
shirt, '.B. W. R."
There is a green band around the
hat to signify agricultural service.
and a maroon band around the hat
to signify industrial service.
1.-The cost of this summer uniform
is 1890. We are asking for bids
upon a winter uniform to be made OF
moleskin. Therefore the cost of the
winter uniform cannot be estimated
at this writing.
"At present the War Department
will not pay for thA uniforms, but we
are In hopes that ultimately the De-
partment will decide to pay for them,
and we have some reason to believe
that 1t will.
I'VE are having sample uniforms
made to be sent I'd every Federal
State Director, and You will receive
your sample uniform in the near
future.
please inform al. the officials OF
your organization, 1ncluding the
county directors and enorlling Of
