DR.. Morgan's Plea Vain.

DR.. II. A. Morgan, president of the
university, who came to Memphis spe-
cially to address the meeting and to get
in touch with the sentiment locally as
to the proposed ordinance, spoke briefly.
He said that unless the medical col
lege can control absolutely the staff
appointments, there Is every probability
that the rating of the college will be
reduced in rating from AA l." to "B,55
and that nothing could then be done
but TO close the college and abandon
the attempt to build up in Memphis a
great medical school
Bolton Smith had previously read a
telegram from DR.. Caldwell reiterating
that any medical college in Class A
must either own or control a hospital
DR.. e, c, Elicit merely stressed anew
the fact that II the contract Is not
made, the college win probably have
to close.
DR.. Andrews, in reply, read a similar
telegram. but said that the word con-
troll, in his opinion need not be so
strictly interpreted, and that as a mat

ono can control, no one should control
except the duly constituted authorities,

One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirm ed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to be- lieve it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting it's truth now. The fol lowing experience of a New Britain man is confirmed after two years:
 l.. MichaelH, 40 Winthrop street. says: T suffered from gnaWing pains in my back for some time. This was very annoying, as l had to be on my feet all the time. l suffered great deal, especially nights, and could hardly move around in bed on account of the pain The kidney secretions were unnatural and I was lame and sore on getting up in the morning. I saw Doans Kidney Pills advertised. so 1 began taking them. Two boxes of this medicine cured me of the attack"
 Mr. Michaels gave the above state ment April 17, 1916, and on Decem- Der 13, 1918, he added: "I gladly re- peat all I said in my former state ment in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills Doan's helped me whenever I have had need to use them"

.UTNEYS TO CHARGE
 6 CENTS TO BERLIN
BcrlinitcS Feel That 12 Cent Fare, Caused By Zone System, Is
 Too Much

Although the raise in the trolley fares, through the zone system, on the Berlin line will affect many of the Berlinites, jitney men in this city nave announced their intention of Keeping the fare down to six cents and intend to run as far as Berlin depot for start
 TWO jitneys have been runninp 10 Berlin for some time and will prob ably remain in the business as pros poets are much better with the coming Of the zone system. Whether more To- cal autolsts will turn their cars into public service will remain to be seen put from the present outlook bushes will be good, as Berlinites are object Ing strongly to paying 12 cent fares.
 It was learned this morning that many of the Berlinites will ask that the fare be brought down to 10 cents which they consider ample assess ment for that line. They feel that if the company could afford to have a tive-cent fare on the line three years ago, a ten-cent fare should be enough at the present time. The two-fare system is favored by the community one fare as far as Berlin depot and another fare to the end of the line.
