Confidential Communication
Please inform me whether pr1c-
ticing physician is required by law
to keep a confidence q patient gives
him or whether such physician Is
permitted to divulge to any third
person such q confidence under any
circumstanceA- X. e. n.
Answer-Both by his Hippokratic
oath and by law the physician is re-
quired to keep all such conhden-
tial information secret. The courts
hold that anything the physician
learns in the course Of the consul
tation as necessary to q full under
standing of the case or its proper
treatment, must be kept invfolate'
But in some circumstances it may
be permitted if not required that
the physician shall disclose the ex.

held that the physician did right in
disclosing to hotel keeper that q

cent and very communicable stage

dangered those who came in contact

that the patient in this case refused

would, there would have been nc

FARMERS ASK ADVICE
REGARDING new law;
ORDER COAL DIRECT

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. IA number
of the county associations have report
ed to headquarters of the Indiana Fed
Grafton of Farmers Associations that
they have been experiencing extreme
difficulty in procuring an adequate
supply of coal for the winter through
their local dealers, and requested in
formation from the Federation as to
how they should comply with the new
state law in the distribution of the
produce where they ordered direct
shipments. President John G. Brown.
in company with B. F. Catherwood, of
the Tippecanoe county association.
called on the coal commission at the
state house during the last week and
Mr. Brown issued the following state
ment to the Indiana farmers:
After an investigation of the coal
situation we would advise all county
associations contemplating buying coal
in car load lots from the mines in
this state. to take out the regular IL
cense before placing such an order.
1t is possible that such license might
not be required where it was shown
that the coal buying was not for the
purpose of gain. but for the purpose of
getting a necessity at a reasonable
price, out 10 dFOld any QlllCullleS
which might arise, it would be our ad-
vice to procure this license. We have
on file at headquarters the blank ap-
plication forms for such use, which
may be had upon request of our gen
eral secretary.
Handling Charge High
I'VE advise this course only where
coal can not be procured from local
dealers. or where dealers exact I'M
reasonable handling charges 1t is
our view that handling charge of
S2.25 a ton. as allowed by the state
coal commission. is too high a margin
for farmers who haul their own coal"

HOGS $3.50 lower
THAN IN JULY, 1919;
FEEDERS ARE LOSING
BY WILLIAM r. sAheoRN

The drift in hog values and the
Losses suffered by feeders of high cost
corn and commercial feeds can best
be shown by following brief state
mcnt:
Besides being $40 per 100 pounds
below the high week for this year.
only five weeks ago, last weeks
average price for hogs at Chicago was
the lowest for any week since Febru-
airy, 1917, at S1260 This was also
$3.50 below the highest week of record,
in July of 1919.
| The bulk of sales on Saturday went
at $12.40 to 1905 and the top was
S13.15, at which price very few crossed

Chicago expects that prices will hold
around present figures and that the
! packers will be content to pay $12 or
J little better for their droves. Sat
urday's average price was $12.70, a
! shade better than the average for
the week
Steers S1s at Chicago.
Prime steers made a top of SIS at
, Chicago on Saturday. which is about
the daily range, very few head of thar
class coming in. Good to choice steers

The tops on native and fine western

! $3.50 to $3.50, and ewes at a top
Of $685.
/ Indianapolis had liberal receipts OF
hogs during the past week and was
weak in correspondence with western
prices, only barely holding it's parity
with Chicago markets. The same may
be said for Pittsburg and Buffalo.
Grain Markets Uncertain.
: Corn showed more strength than
wheat at central markets last week.
! but there was no noticeable gain in
prices. Spectators who have made
| large export sales for the coming 90
days are growing nervous. The stocks
! of wheat in market centers are grow
ing very low, and the threat of farmers
! to hold for higher prices is strong
bull factor Wheat was hammered
after sales for export had been made
at much higher figures, and should
farmers really hold grain until after
the holidays, it would upset many
carefully engineered deals to break
the wheat market.
Prices at Glen Miller.
The local stockyards very naturally
! followed the general trend in prices
during the past week. With that de
cline came falling off in live stock
receipts, which fell to five car loads,
the lowest in some time. The largest
delivery of the week was made on
Saturday. by Ollie Newbern, of New
Paris, who delivered 81 hogs which
brought IL, the top of the day. The

at the courthouse Saturday evening.
was we'll attended, all the war horses
and officials in the various townships
being present, almost to man.
The principal business of the even
ing was the election of officers. For
the first time in the history of the To-
cal organization, which is but one year
old, however, and possibly the same
is true as to the state, a woman was
added to the executive roster. Mrs.
S. A. Beeson. an enthusiastic Rich
mond federationist, was made fourth
vice president.
A glance at the roster shows no
radical change in the makeup of the
official directory. Theodore Davis, of
Greensboro, was reelected president.
and Earl Crawford. of Milton, first
vice president. Andrew Kerber, sec
ond vice president, was elected secre-
tary, and A. l.. Baldwin, of Webster
succeeds Mr.. kerber in the official
board; Gaar Eliason of Centerville be-
ing elected third vice president. and
Mrs. Beeson, fourth vice president as
noted Arthur Curme was reelected
treasurer.
President Davis and James Harris,
of Centerville, were chosen delegates
to the state federation convention, to
be held at Indianapolis Nov. 1916.
A Gt-Toeether Affair.
Theo Davis and Earl Crawford were
complimented on the fact that they
have been present to address fifteen
meetings in the various townships
since the drive was inaugurated. Mr..
Crawford, who was appointed county
organizer month ago, has been on
the job at all hours, according TO
President Davis, and his addresses at
the meetings have been very effective.
