Winter leaf buds of the shagbark
hickory are very large and noticeable,
being from one-half to three-quarters
of an inch in length, says the Ameri-

alternate, from eight to fourteen inch

rarely seven, leaflets. These are at

danger of our having to do without

FACTS AND FAKES

A great housecleaning process has
haen begun to rid the country OF
those who pose as practicing the art
Of healing the sick, but who are not
qualified by education or training to
undertake this great responsibility.
There have been many newspaper
xnd magazine accounts about "d1pio-
ma mills" and fraudulent doctors and
people are just begi inning to
realize the danger Of permitting these
Illegal and ignorant practitioners to
treat so delicate a piece Of mechan-
ism as the human body. Few people
would take delicate watch to
boilermaker-but many have not
hesitated to trust the treatment of
disease to those who know nothing
Of disease and practically nothing OF
the human body.
The science Of medicine is COM
plex study carefully for thousands
Of years have the results Of expert
ence and research been handed down
for the benefit of posterity; but more
valuable knowledge has been ac-
quired in our own generation than
for centuries previous. One factor
that has revolutionized medicine Is a
knowledge of germ life and it's sig
nificance in disease production. Much
that was heretofore an unsolved mys-
terry has been clarified by the labora-
tory worker, and the modern instru-
ments of precision make possible
greater accuracy in diagnosis. The
chemical processes of the body, and
their relation to digestion, tissue
changes and elimination of waste, are
making possible the successful treat
ment Of many heretofore but little un-
derstood diseases. The student of
medicine must spend seven years in
preparing himself to be worthy the
great trust imposed in him when his
advice is sought.

should be protected from the ineffi-
cient. People are just beginning to
distinguished intelligently between
the qualified and unqualified - they
are no longer willing to countenance
the fake doctor, follower of this or
that vague and unscientiflc theory,
who could not tell smallpox from
measles, treats everything from can
Ger to mumps by the same method,
has no knowledge Of chemistry, bac-
teriology, endocrines, principles of
sanitation, or preventive measures,

which take years in richly endowed
medical colleges to acquire.

by an inserted band of crepe.

That this will be velvet season

house in that neither tenant is an

the two homes will be described. The
