IN MEMORIAM
(For F. O.

Although you would not have it so Tears often come unbidden And bitter, lonely feelings grow keep my sorrow hidden, Far deep within my saddened breast, Far from the prying faces Who might well desecrate your rest With hollow tear-stained traces. And though the world without you is empty thing, Sometimes I hear your sweet lost voice Repeat again these words that someday shall sing Repeat again these words that some day shall sing

Good Evening.

March winds are gathering speed Just some thawng and sun we need Before the coming of April showers Which follow up with bright May flowers When the last of snows are gone And the birds start singing at dawn, And the earth is again quite dry, And it's nothing but dust in your eye, Then you rejoice and you shout it. Winters gone, and long time about 1t. March winds are gathering speed, little bit southward they're planting seed, We welcome the wind and the April showers For they bring us the bright May flowers. In the meantime don't depend too much on that And get good hold on your new Spring hatl

DOCTOR OF PREVENTIVE
 MEDICINE. 2O39


 Canadian reader, telling of the benefit she has obtained from fol- lowing suggestions given in articles on rebuilding youthful stamina, ex- presses need which is growing with the spread of knowledge of hy- giene among the public. She writes:
 ".. now enjoy looking after my family of five, including a three year-old, and go about my tasks with a pleasant and happy countenance. This vite is everything you say 1t is. Do you know, you are the saviour of health and happiness at least to this house. If all doctors would devote themselves to the bus mess or study and practice of pre- venting sickness and sorrow as you do, instead of trying to cure :"
 (Mrs. A. I. W.
 Pay almost any doctor a living wage to practice Preventive Medi- cine exclusively, and there will be no darth of doctors to practice what only preach. You know, Mrs. w., it Is easier to tell in print precisely how to do 1t than it is to do 1t. At least I think 1t is, from my experience in country, city and hospital practice and my experience in preaching health in newspapers.
 Some one inquired seriously the other day what my doctorate de- greeS mean. "Huh?" said, my mind being more on my bowling. "Well, there is a quarrel at our house about 1t, and you've got to settle it." It seemed had referred to myself in some articles as Dr. Brady, D.P.M, MD, F.AM.A., by way of empha- sizing that the ideas were my own. D.PM. means Doctor of Preventive Medicine, MD. means Doctor of Medicine. and F.AM.A. means Eel low of the American Medical asso- ciation. Probably I'm the only doc- tor in the country who sports the degree of D.PM., so far.
 Nearest thing to such a degree now established is D.P.H.-Doctor of Public Health, which young men or women may earn by completing a not too difficult course of instruc- tion far short of that leading to the degree of M.D., and use to advantage in getting jobs with health depart ments, certified milk dairies and the like.
 But the country needs just such practitioners as Mrs. W. indicates, whsoe services will be devoted ex- clusively to building health and preventing health ilnpairment-pro- phylaxis, If your conception of the word is not that of the nasty ads In the pretty magazines.
