PROHIBITION is MAKING
OF YOUNG MEDICOS, SAYS
No Longer Need They Sacri-
flee Best Years of Life

CHICAGO, H., April 12.-The day
Of the struggling young physician who
worked for years on scanty income
while he built up paying practice Is
past. providing national prohibition
continues in force, according to Cap
tain Hubert Howard, prohibition en-

Instead of sacrificing the best years
of his life to the struggle to make
both ends meet the young medical
school graduate will not step into an
assured income ranging anywhere
from 500 to $500 month. This IS
the roseate picture painted by Captain
Howard.
The present prohibition regulations
limit physicians to 100 government
prescription blanks for liquor per
month. Chicago doctors are charging
all the way from 81 to 50 for the
blanks.
