Nor do mean to condemn the young doc tor who takes job medical inspector Tn school. should not hesitate to take such job myself if I were nurse doctor and needed tirely to the local health department the local school board and the state health department and the state education department. They are the moral grafters who plan and carry out these great socalistic schemes which encourage the class of undesrables in America that seeks med ical care at the expense of the public.

That bus load of Paw Paw children being led to slaughter makes one wonder what the coun- try is coming to.
