This makes young men ‘just entering the practice of the profession seek .locations which 'entail'Yéss strain on the physical powers and promise greater! income. accidents, just as do people in more congested neighborhoods. ‘A life often. depends on the promptness of the physician'in reaching the patient. In New England the situation is so bad that it is proposed; in some instances to appropriate public money to induce doctors to locate. If young doctors have ambition to exhibit the best in their profession they will go with true missionary spirit where their services are most needed. It may be too much to expect that many will submerge everything in service, but that phase should not be overlooked. The physician imbued with the best spirit of his profession considers the remuneration he receives but a-small part of his reward. The satisfaction felt in having relieved suffering sumanity is the best part of his compensation. Qi 3 WARNING AGAINST HOME BREW Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who has the reputation of knowing considerable about foods and their relation to organic chemistry in administering to the needs of man, has issued a warning| against the be‘(erage concoctions produced by the home ,brew e spring. Dr. Wiley says that these home-made mixtures,| “will, if indulged 'in long enough, inevitably end in disaster.”| Gastritis is one of the ailments which Dr. Wiley declares will follow the continued use of home-made hooch. - ’ It is doubtful if Dr. Wiley’s warning will be regarded: widely, as persons who have a thirst that impels them to go into the brewing bysiness as a domestic diversion are likely to be| ,gfllided by thenr_ own appetités, if not judgment, and to believe that the calamity forecast by a so-called food expert will not come to them. . sk ;\lllixtures which are likely to be harmless to the home brew enthusiasts are not calculated to excite any particular enthusi- asm on their part, and the result is that experiments of al kinds are being n3ade to provide the desired kick. Drugs of various kmds.,‘not intended for beverage purposes, are finding their way mgo many of the home brew beverages to furnish the zest which is not obtainable with the crude processes of the amateur. - Dr. lee_y does well to issue his warning. Persons who refuse ‘to heed it can hardly expect much sympathy if they end in the ‘disaster predicted for them. 0- SILVER CARTWHEELS ON THE WAY .. . The coinage of silver dollars is being resumed at the Phil- adelphia mint, the first that have been put into circulation since 190_5. In 1918 the Pitman act fixed $1 an ounce as the price at / yvlnch the purchases of silver should be made. The price of silver in th.e open market now is about 60 cents an ounce. Treasury i offlcmls state that about 350,000,000 silver dollars will be ! .coined—enough so that everybody will have some of them. ——o.
