Even with this heavy increase, it

The passenger deficit is said

in accordance with a schedule
adopted by the local medical as

isitors from other foreign
countries also will have to pay
higher rates, IN proportion to the
esteem in which their respective
currencies are held by the local
doctors. Although the dollar
commonly commands the highest
respect Of foreign monies among
Germans, United States citizens
suffer less than those Of a numDe-
,cf other countries in the new
tariff. SWedes will be charged
IS times the usual fee, Swiss ten
times. English and Dutch nine
times. and French and Italians
six times.
New rates for natives have
