THOSE OTHER SCHOOLS

Every little while some good
reader desires to know which
school of medicine we follow.
We follow none. We support
them all. And that includes not
only the older medical schools of
healing but also the various
modern schools. No one school
of healing is all right. Every
school has something good in it,
and probably also something not
good. One must be very narrow
minded indeed to blind himself
to the good often accomplished
by other methods or systems Of
healing than his own. Ignorance
is bliss in the healing line. Your
ignorant healer, no matter which
system he employs, is the one
who insists that all other meth
DDS or schools are all wrong.
Unfortunately the standards
of fitness, mental and moral, for
the right to engage in any given
method of healing are variable in
actual practice, whatever the
written laws may provide. Thus,
while one system of healing re-
quires at least six years of
schooling as a preliminary to
licensure, another manages
somehow to obtain the right to
practice with much less prelim-
mary training or none at all.
This is shamefully wrong and a
great injustice to the people who
employ healers.
The great need of the country
is a fixed and unalterable stand
ard which every candidate for
license to engage in the healing
of human ailments shall be re-
quired to meet, irrespective of
the methods or system he may
intend to employ. Such a stand
ard would be q blessing to the
people, because it would very
soon do away with all petty dif-
ferences between the various
and bring the entire heal
ng profession together for the
Universal welfare.

April Is to 2Ois Clean Up Week
for the State of North Carolina.
Let us hope thatit will be enthus-
iastically observed by the peo-
pie of Rosemary and Roanoke

appropriately called Conservation
Week, as its observance con.
serves health, conserves prop

risk, and incidentally conserves
our self respect and civic pride.

assume charge of the movement,

tons of trash and garbage on

For years when Mr.. Verify was liv-

Mr.. Frost claimed the present Mrs.

intimate friends. They had homes not
more than a block apart in Rockville
Center.
Suddenly all association between the
two households ceased and the divorces
and their aftermath followed. Neither
couple could be reached yesterday, al
though friends and relatives confirmed
their new marriages.

Can t Chew Corn on
Cob, Sues Dentist
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 2.-Should a
set of $3.50 false teeth be sufficiently
strong to enable the wearer to gnaw
corn off the cob?
That's the question Supreme Court
Judge will have to decide when the SUIT
or Dr. Reuben Jetferey, of Norwich
n. T., against Dr. Harry G. Webb, of
lhIs city, comes to trial.
In his complaint DR.. Jefferey says DR..
WEBB promised him that for $3.50 he
would make him a set of teeth that
would be so natural that he would
never know he had a false tooth in his
head. Relying on this promise, he got
the teeth and paid 500 down. Then,
he says, he discovered they would not
stay IN his mouth long enough for him
to determine whether ne could chew
anything with them or not and that
he was unable to chew corn off
the cob. Therefore he brought suit
asking Tor the return Of the $10O.
Dr.. Webb, in his answer says the
teeth do not fit because he has been
unable to get Dr. Jefferey to his office
for fitting and that it was impossible
Tor him to fit teeth to jaw unless he
had the jaw to fit them TO- He asks
that the complaint be dismissed.
