PHYSICIANS NOTICE.
May TO- q

Since the beginning of the present
war in 1914, almost every article that is
used has advanced in price. Drugs and
physicians supplies were the first to feel
the advance, as we were dependent on
the importation of many Of the drugs
and instruments from Germany. Now
most all of the drugs and instruments
are being manufactured in this country.
but owing to the increase in the cost Of
labor and materials, the prices remain
high. With the increase in cost Of do
ing business, it is therefore necessary
for my own protection to make an in
crease in the price of outside visits.
The new schedule to 60 into effect on
the fifteenth of this month. $500 a

for each additional mile, with further

PATRIOTIC TO PROTECT BIRDS
Helping to Save Our Feathered Friends
Means Also Helping Save the
Food Crops.

The work done by birds IN saving
food by destroying injurious insects
and weed seeds is almost unbelievable,
but the figures given here are vouched
for by scientists. For instance:
A scarlet tanager ate $50 gypsy-moth
caterpillars in IS minutes, which is at
the rate of 200 an hour.
The quail. most hunted Of birds, has
no bad habits and eats las species Of
insects In summer and 100 kinds OF
harmful weeds seeds In winter.
A flicker was found to have eaten
1000 chinch bugs; a nighthawk, 600
grasshoppers; Maryland yellow
throat $500 plant lice In 40 minutes.
The stomach Of a cedar waxwing
contained 100 canker worms; a snow
bunting was found TO have eaten 1000
pigeon weed seeds. Bob White made
a meal on 5000 seeds Of the same
plant, and a mourning dove ate 1900
seeds of yellow sorel.
Professor Beale estimated that in
Iowa the tree sparrow eats S75 tons OF
weed seeds every year.
The robin, the flicker, the thrush, all
found frequently in the game bag OF
the hunter. subsist largely on a diet
of ants, beetles, bugs, files, grasshop-
pers, caterpillars and spiders.

On more than one occasion Senator
Borah has taken exception 10 allu-

party I'm the senate" In doing so the
Idaho senator disclaims any title or
right TO be considered leader" hut
he objects to any body Of self-consti-
tuted LEADERS" speaking for the Re
publicans Gf the senate. The last oc-
casion when he adverted to this sub
ject was at the time of the appoint
ment of Charles f. Hughes as an in
vestigator of the aircraft imbroglio.
Now, II is a fact that some Repub-
licans felt the selection of Mr.. Hughes
was a shrewd move on the part OF
President Wilson that would tend to
shut Off any possible partisan criti-
cism that could be made ia regard to
aircraft production, especially IL the
findings should be that there had
been no misuse OF money or crimi-
nal action. Some newspapers pub
lished stories TO that effect and attrib-
uted the comments to Republican
leaders"
Senator Borah repudiated the idea
that there vas any Republican objec-
ton TO the selection of Mr.. Hughes.
little later Senator Smoot remarked
that Mr.. Hughes selection was as
remarkable as II was admirable"
