A patient sued DR. Jones for $4,000
charging IN his suit that the doctor had
operated on his leg and had performed
the operation so unskilliully that infec-
ton had set IN. requiring the patien. to
undergo a serious operation
AT the trial of the case. two surgeons
testified that Or. Jones had been care
less in operating on the patient. ex-
planning that the condition Of the leg
as they found 1t showed plain evidence
Of negligence
DR. Jones insisted that he had been
careful and had exercised his usual
skill and care To further convince the
court OF his skill as a surgeon. he
brought into court several doctors to
testify as 70 his good reputation for
being skillful and careful surgeon.
The Court, however. refused to hear
such testimony. stating
Where the physician or surgeon Is
charged with negligence, and not with
lncOmpetency. the matter OF his fitness
IS not an issue. and evidence to show
competency and skill is clearly inadmis-

Its bearing upon the issue is too re-

What Scholarships Mean.

A scholarship may mean the oppor~
tunity for one of your family to obtain
a higher education 1t may mean an
additional opportunity for one Of the
younger children to enjoy the same
privilege as an older child. For those
and other reasons every mother should
encourage her children between now
and examination time to study without
stint
Scholarships are not generally under
stood and they deserve some explana-
ton. Scholarships vary with localities.
institutions, alumnal organizations and
so forth They confer on their re-
cipients. or holders, all sorts Of benefits
from the payment OF all expenses 10 the
payment Of tuition or part OF It,
Before applying or attempting to
qualify for any particular scholarship,
child and parent should study the pos
sibilties carefully. 1t Is practicable to
obtain few college catalogues. and
compare carefully the scholarship aids
listed in them Alumnal organizations
in ones own locality will usually BE-
glad to assist any local candidate, and
many Of these organizations offer aids
themselves.
Scholarships generally are for the
amount Of the yearly tuition. This is
true mostly Of those scholarships which
are intended for private or privately

But when the girl tand he is sure she

Don't Be Your Own Doctor!

How can a person with two per-
sonalities blend them into ono? For
example. The one self is extremely
timid. and can't assert itself. The
other is almost an exaggerated ego, 1t

You can readily understand the torture

Sonalities conflict They have already
caused an organic trouble that has
brought about paralysis. DO YOU think
that person who knows about his

The patient who treats himself is
said TO have a fool for a doctor. 1t Is
still truer that he who makes his own
diagnosis. especially I'm any mental kind
of difficulty is pretty sure TO 60 wrong

Not that a patients notion OF his
own illness should be set aside. BY no
means. But often false notion Of

disorder. Sufferers from mental diff

methods to dislodge it. And until that
is done YOU can't take the first and
most important step toward relief
