CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Are
AVerse to Calling in the Aid
of Physician.

The cost of doctors visit in China
ranges from five to ten cents. One
would think that, inasmuch as they are
so cheap, nobody would be without
doctors visits in China, but as a fact,
the Chinese get along with as few of
them as possible. The reason IS said
to be that the Mongolian doctors use
such abominable medicines. Extracts
of all sorts Of creeping things enter
into the Chinese drug list, and people
are averse to taking them, except in
case of extreme necessity.
1t is possible that doctors have pur
posely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as means of self
protection. It-would be very wearing
to be popular physician at five cents

get no sleep. He accordingly makes

Eyes, i will go OUT exclaimed Mr.,
Bowser, as he brought his fist down
on the reading table, land ! will let

ignoramus in the case. If you know
more than do"
Mr.. Bowser went out. He inter.
viewed the carpenter, u grocer, a
butcher and a builder, and, though
they didn't call him names. they
looked at him with amazement and
contempt that hurt his feelings.
The builder went so far as to say
that he might as well buy out a junk
shop and try to sell the old iron, brass
and copper to the papermakers; and
the grocer intimated that as long as
there were such men In the world
the price of butter and eggs could
never be brought down to the old
standard.
Mr.. Bowser realized just what
would happen when he re-entered
his house, Mrs. Bowser would be
reading a book. She would lay that
book down with smile of triumph,
and she would expect an apology
from him. He would feel crushed
and Inundated, and, though she
would not crow over him, he could
not hold his head up again for a
week.
Mr.. Bowser fingered by his gate.
He also fingered on the front steps.
He turned the doorknob quietly and
he walked in without his scuff OF
the feet. Yes, Mrs. Bowser sat there
with a book. She laid the book down
with a smile, but she said:
"Mr. Bowser, a rat has gnawed a
hole and found his way into the
kitchen. Won't you set trap for him

That was all--aIl except that Mr..

Il have not the smallest fear that
the Germans will produce decision.
for a decision means the wholesale
destruction by death and surrender
of great portion, If not the whole

ITO me the most hopeful fact of
the situation is that this looks like
a last desperate gamble of the Ger
