Shortage of Rural Doctors
Massachusetts Farmers Ask the
State for Relief

BOSTON, March 2O.-Migration of
the country physicians to the city has
stripped some parts of rural New Eng
land of medical men. Committees of
grangers, banded together to protect
their homes from disease, are asking
state aid in compaign to relieve the
situation.
A bill is now before the Massachu-
setts Legislature to permit any town
which has no doctor to appropriate
money to induce a physician to estab-
lish himself in the community. In
some cases the proposal has been put
to vote at town meeting and re-
jected.
Several towns have voted to guaran-
tee $500-a-year income to obtain a
physician. Questions of the legality of
the proposition held up final action,
which will be adjusted by the ruling of
the general court,

Holland Faces Problem i'm
Naming Minister to u. S.
incumbent at Washington Must
BE Wealthy, According to
General Relief

THE HAGUE, Feb. 25.-selection of
new Dutch Minister at Washington to
succeed }. I. Cremer, resigned, has pre-
sented difficulties TO the Dutch For
eign Office because of the high cost of
living at the American capital. While
the entertainment allowance made for
ministers is considered ample in most
capitals, the incumbent at Washington
generally is presumed to need per
sonal fortune.
Much interest has been aroused in
diplomatic circles of The Hague by the
decision of the American Minister,
William Phillips, to take up his resi-
dence for several weeks each year in
Amsterdam, which is nominally the
capital, though The Hague is the resi-
dence of the Queen and the seat of
Parliament.
Mr. Phillips is doing this in order to
meet the financial and commercial lead
ers of Holland. His first period of
residence there has been scheduled for
late in February or early in March.

Wheeler Doubts
Any Drug Stores
Will Handle Beer
Announcing Fight to Over
rule Palmer or Change
Law, He Says Red Tape
Prevents Sale at Fountains
From The 7ribunc's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON. March 20.-Tormer
Attorney General Palmer's beer ruling
will be fought until ''the effect of the
opinion is overrued or changed in the
law" Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci Of the Anti-Saloon League, declared
here to-day.
Mr.: Palmer's statement that "beer
can be sold at soda fountains" was
characterized by Wheeler as an cas-
founding proposition" and he emphati-
cally disagrees with it by citing the
provisions of the law governing the
dispensing of liquor.
Even If part of the opinion is good
law and beer may be prescribed as a
medicine" Mr.. Wheeler said, "the law
says that no physician shall prescribe
liquor unless, after careful cxamna-
ton or IN emergencies upon the best
information obtainable, no prescription
shall be filled more than once and
each prescription shall be marked can
ceed when filled"
Mr.. Wheeler believes that druggists
and physicians will be reluctant to
handle beer because of the red tape at
ached to its issuance. "a complete
record lphabeticalfy arranged" Mr..
Wheeler said, must be kept in a book
prescribed by the prohibition commits
sioner. 1t must show the date of issue,
the amount prescribed, the purpose or
aiiment for which to be used and di-
rections for use, and the amount and
frequency of the Dose The prescrip-
tions must be accounted for before a
new book is issued. No prescriptions
shall be issued or filled except on these
blanks, or except in emergencies, where
the record must be made imme ediately
thereafter.
"The records of the doctor and the
druggist are open to inspection. No
one but licensed pharmacist may fiji
the prescription. The doctor or drug
gist may have his permit revoked at
any time he violates the law. Those
restrictions will prevent the sale of
beer at soda fountains. The hazard in
the trade will be such that reputable
physicians and druggists will refuse to
handle this booze medicine in most
places. Only % per cent of the doctors
are willing now to accept the hazard
before this opinion. This opinion ap-
plies only to about nine states. The
druggists went on record in 1919
against selling even whisky in drug
stores. 1t is to be hoped that they will
oppose the converting of their stores
into booze emporiums under this ruling
Of the ex-Attorney General. The pre-
scrlptlon can be filled only at drug
