Family doctor doomed to become ex-

born specialist can make more
noise over a handful OF patients than
the family physician would make over

A "health examination" is a general
physical examination. a general medi-
cal examination, with such special
tests omitted or added as the physician
NAV deem advisable to suit the pat
ron's particular case. No set form
or procedure can be laid down. You
merely go to your physician and tell
him YOU wish TO have a health eX-
animation or a periodic physical ex-
animation. He will do the right thing
or if you do not believe he Will.
then YOU should not have him as your
physician.

thus established is lost by the inability
Of the army to withstand the powerful
forces which the King is now assemb-

nobody In Congress is outwardly ad-
hitting any such possibility, but that
the possibility exists cannot be denied.
Abraham Clark, member from New

members in his characteristic way
when he said today:
"As TO my title. T know not vet
whether it will be honorable or dis
honorable: the issue of the war must
settle It. Perhaps our Congress will
be exalted on high gallows. We

nv to know you would do this. / must
know where you got it and 1t must
go back. We won't go on today until
you tell me the truth about the ball
There isn't anything as important as
that. Now where did you get it,"
II found it under the tree, mother,
lust as I told you," and he looked
straight in his mothers eye and held
fast to that story for more than an
hour.
well, Patsy, there are just two
shops in the town so you and I will
go to them and show THE ball and
ask IL it came out of the shop. The
man will know his ball and know
who bought it or took it. / hate to
have any one know that you did this.
I would rather make it right without
saying anything about it except to
the shopman from whom you took it,
but we will search this town for the
person who owns this ball no matter
what disgrace falls on you and me
through it. You must tell the truth
and you cannot take things"
When mother was hated and
gloved and standing with her hand on
the door knob, Patsy broke down and
told how he went into the shop with
Bud Wesley and how he slipped the
ball into his pocket Then he went
with his mother and in the privacy of
Pop Bentley's back room, told the sad
tale.
Too bad, Patsy. But you won't
make that mistake again, now will
you? Id hate to think that of you.
The first time is a mistake but the
second time would be habit and that
would be mighty bad. chg. ss5

Patsy had been an ordinary child.

the ordinary mistakes of childhood
He broke things now and then and hid
the pieces on the table, in full sight.
He helped himself to jelly and the
fruit if he got the chance. He forgot
to wipe his feet and had to be COM
PEELED to wash himself Just the usual
small boy up to the age of nine. Then
he developed new trait. He found
things.
Mother. see what l found?" and
he held up a new base ball, one fresh
from the shop.
Where did you find it? Surely the
boy who lost a new ball was looking
for it?"

any name on 1t. guess can

Mother was troubled. Patsy had
never taken anything that did not
belong to him and had never told any
stories that amounted to planned de-
ception But how could a brandnew
base ball be lying under the maple
by the gate when to her certain
knowledge no boy has walked past
that three since eight-thirty but her
own Patsy?
After Patsy had eaten his lunch
his moher said, Now Patsy, where
did you get that ball? I am certain
YOU did not get it under the tree. 1t
