A GOOD BUSINESS.

Chicago, April 1.-THE day Of the
struggling young physician who
worked for years. on a scanty income
while he built up a paying practice
is past, providing national prohibition
continues in force. according to Cap
forcement odfcer for Illinois.
Instead Of sacrificing the best years
Of his life to the struggle to make
both ends meet, the young medical
school graduate will now step into an
assured income ranging anywhere
from 500 sto $500 a 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 IS for the
blanks.
