More than fiftV-fiVe thousand doctors

medical practices and lettering the health

War removed them to far away corners

consider vital questions affecting the
medical profession. A medical officer
recently addressed a plea to every ply

home front. He said: please help keep

Commenting on this mute appeal, Med

mittee to help preserve free medicine.
Such committees should tell the doctor
in service about the problems they're up
against and how they're attempting to
counter them. Let them assure him that
if it is humanity possible to do so his CT
william colleagues will keep political OPP
portuniSm out of medicine.
More than anything else, the men who
who are fighting for us want chance
after the war to pick up where they lett

try to assure them that chance. Legis

OUR GOLD

The possibility that the United States
would corner the worlds gold supply di-
minished still more during 1913 than in
the previous year. The net physical gold
increase was S21 100000 Smallest since
1922 but ear-markings actually cut
United States gold stocks by more than
S700,000,000 the largest drop in the ma
tons history. The apparent contradic-
ton is explained by the fact that many
countries, not wanting to take their gold
home because of shipping dangers and
doubts about the world currency situa-
ton, have left it in the United States ear
marked for their accounts. Argentina is
one country taking its gold away, appar-
emily because it fears deteriorating re-
