so you WANT 4 sPECIAL1sT?

so YOU WANT A SPECIALIST?
 A request constantly recurring in the mail suggests that keeping up with the Jonses has a good deal to do with the high cost of medical care.
 The request is something like this :: "Have been treated by several local doctors for over a year and have tried several (near-d -doctors) too. They do not seem to help me. Please recommend . good specialist in (city)."
 Apparently people who decide to consult a specialist believe a spe- cialist is a superior type of physi- clan, g super-duper-doctor who knows more or has more skill than ordinary practitioners or mere "lo- cal" doctors have.
 That is foolish and costly mo- tion. Certainly one physician, here or in a distant city, may know more or have greater skill than arl- other, but that is not because the capable one purports to be spe- cialist, nor need a doctor have greater knowledge or greater skill than his neighbors or colleagues in order to become a specialist in any field he prefers. Medical specialism in America is purely g matter of the personal preference or choice of the doctor himself. Any doctor who has obtained the degree, Doc- tor of Medicine, bestowed by the medical college upon completion of the medical course, and a license from the State or Province, which permits him to practice medicine and surgery, may enter upon gen. eral practice or hold himself out as a specialist in any branch or field of medicine or surgery without further qualification or experience, if he wishes. While specialists rec ognized by the rank and file of the profession command the respect and confidence of their medical col- leagues by reason of years of post graduate study and experience in their chosen fields, there are far too many of the other type of spe- cialists in Yankeela1d.
 I call the other type "brass spe- cialists," meaning they are not genuine. Brass specialists take ad- vantage of popular credulity to ap- peal directly to the public or pat- ronage--not in the honest way of a merchant who buys and pays for publicity, but in the devious ways open to 8 shrewd charlatan who does not choose to quack it openly. They use the prestige the name of specialist" carries in the. mind of the untutored layInan in unfair competition with honest general practitioners. Right there is the outstanding difference between the brass specialist and the genuine specialist. A real specialists prac- tice consists chiefly of work re- ferred to him by medical col- leagues who recognize his special capabilities, or in giving opinion or advice in difficult or unusual cases in which the attending physician seeks his aid. The brass specialist cannot hope to build such a practice, 30 he devotes himself to making a

We are shipping great quantities of American cheddar cheese to Great Britain as part of our nation- al policy of strengthening that dem- ocracy in the war. Therefore we are urged to go easy on cheddar or what is often called store" cheese and use more cottage cheese in our menus. Cottage cheese Is an excel lent and inexpensive source of pro- tein.
 Serve mound of cottage cheese on a lettuce leaf for the simplest of salads. Season the cheese with. salt and pepper, with bit of mayon- naise, or with chilli sauce or catsup Or cut up parsley, olives, nuts, chives, green peppers, bits of onion and mix with the cheese for season. ing.
 SALAD DAYS
 For 8 special decorative salad take the pulp and seeds from a green pepper, stuff it with cottage cheese and season wits salt and pepper. Chopped nuts, chopped red pepper or onion are optional. Let the stuff ed pepper stand in a cool place for one hour. Serve slices of it on let tuce leaves.
 NOT so SOUR
 Sour. milk and sour cream are two other forms of milk important in low cost food defense. Substitute sour milk for sweet, cup for cup, in butter cakes and in all quickbreads except popovers.

 The birthday and the dress size -Forty-worry too many women. This st ruck me repeatedly during the recent fall openings of out standing American designers. Again and again, Forty clothes were fea- tured. Sometimes the house would present Forty costume as such.
 That is, @ model of forty would wear it. Again, alongside. the frankly forty costume, younger mannikins would appear in wonder ful-fOr-forty costumes. Tn short, Forty needn't stick to obviously slimnning or cautiously = young clothes.
 As to the age, consider the Forty whose clothes have set fashions for for millions of women half her age. She's the Duchess of Windsor. Her dress is enthusiastically simple in cut, but she wears embroidery very often, and some decidely spirited motif almost always.

 As to the size, Forty should con- sider chiefly the basic business: g horizontal line, such as stripe, ern- phasizes width; an up-and-down line minimizes breadth. Plaids give an impression of bulk SO better not wear them and add to your own solidity.
 However, you certainly needn't go in for zebra effects. The loveliest Forty I've seen lately-and, one of the most attractiye-looking models wore a plum -colored costume: plum leather shoes and hat and plum -colored stockings too, match ing her handsome soft plum tweed suit.

MIGHT GIVE DRAFTEES A BETTER START


 Of course they were able to shake the gloom off later. But 1t did seem that there was something a little barbarous in that send-off, well- meant though 1t was.
 Wouldn't a town give its selectees a better start by having really gay party for them several days before leaving, skipping entirely the senti- mental speeches and the sentiment tai speeches and the sentimental songs? Just giving them 8 chance to get together with their friends for a grand evenings entertainment seems @ lot better than last min- ute damp send-off.
 And if a family could control its tears and say goodbye to the boys just as matter -factly and with as many goodnatured remarks as if the boy were only going on vacation, wouldn't that be better than an overflow of emotion?

EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD

The people of the United States have
their eyes fixed on one objective-the de
feat of Nazi Germany, which has repeat
edly proved that in victory 1t would be
desperate menace to everything we mold
dear.
People will shout at us on either side
now. On one hand will come the cry,
Turn your eyes to the left-give your
energies to aiding the Soviet Union, that
great citadel of democracy.'
To this America will answer, "BoShi
and keep its eyes straight ahead.
On the other hand will arise the cry,
Turn your eyes to the right let up now
on those things which help to defeat Hit
Ter; after all he now fights the Great Red
Menace
To this America will answer, "Bosh.'
and keep its eyes straight ahead.
Straight ahead lies the first order of
business. 1t is to supply to Britain the
sinews of war. the aid. the support of ev
cry kind that will bring victory over the
man and the system which plunged the
world once more into the fiery furnace
of war.
Nothing else matters right now. The
President promises such aid to the fight
ing Russians as can be given without him
dering pledges already made to Britain,
not because he thinks any more OF the
Stain dictatorship today than he thought
three weeks ago, but simply because that
helps the straight-ahead cause, the de-
feat of Hitler. Any such aid as is given
will not be on a basis Of helping Russia,
but of helping to beat Hitler.
Communists in the United States are
not one whit better than they were three
weeks ago, not one whit more devoted to
democracy or to American institutions
than they ever were. Their policies now,
as always, will be determined by what
they are told is best for the Stalinist re-
gime in Russia.
Russia itself fights today, not to des-
troy Nazism because that system is re-
pugnant to it. After all, Russia had no
violent objection to Nazism three weeks
ago Russia fights simply to save its skin.
1t happens that that fight is serviceable
in what We want also-the downfall of
Nazsm. So that fight will be supported,
for that reason, and to that extent
1t is along that line that the United
States should continue to march forward,

their Goebbled-up press about their con-

LETTERS TO THE EDI TOR
Editor, The PoSt-Press,

Dear Sir:
The supervisors of Imperial county
soon will vote on new budget and hope
that when the budget is approved it will
contain provision for solving the county's
tuberculosis problem.
Imperial county has an estimated $50
cases of tuberculosis in the active or con-
tagious stage tuberculosis is more dang
erous than smallpox because no immunity
has been discovered, and as deadly and
lingering as leprosy.
1t is a disease which can be entirely
eliminated by iSolating the sick from
those in good health; however. only
few of these $50 cases in Imperial county
are hospitalized. They remain in their
own homes to infect their family and
friends; children, some tubercular and
some healthy, mingle in our schools. Thus
we citizens of Imperial county make sure
that tuberculosis will be always with U.s.
To meet this emrgncy, there are 22 beds
available in the county hospital. A doctor
describes the situation as heart-breaking.
From the sick, some selection must be
made, SO that the moderately i'll are chos-
en-, for disqualification, those who have
some hope of recovery. Those who must
die are denied disqualification.
The tuberculosis Association has made
an effort to deal with this emergency.
Tuberculin tests and X-rays have been
used to locate cases. 1t is the county
responsibility to see that adequate care
is taken of these cases.
The following action should be taken
by the supervisors:
l. The installation of a cooling system
Immediately in the county hospital. Hu-
manity requires that this be done without
delay.
2. The building of hospital contain
ing rs beds to supplement the % beds
now available. Such building should
have ward for those who are GONZALES
cent, and private rooms for the desper-
ately i'll. A view of the final stages of tu
berculosis does not contribute to the
cheerful frame Of mind considered desir-
able for treatment of this disease.
A decent regard for humanity requires
that action should be taken Immediately.
