KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY
How much better off would you be if we had the reput-
ed ChiupHe relationship between physician and patient?
It is a popular belief in this country that in China (he doc-
tor has a sort of drawing account with his professional
charges as long as the latter remain healthy and that this
is suspended when one becomes ill
In other words the physician is rewarded for his pa-
tients’ being well and is penalized if they become sick
Whether or not such a system is actually in vogue in China
we do not know A lot of Americans believe it is and not
infrequently you bear plaintive suggestions that we might
lie healthier were it adopted in America At the back of the
thought seriously advanced is something of conviction that
the doctors are in a sense responsible for the ills that befall
us at least that physicians' do not cure their patients as
quickly as they should but “farm” cases for the money there
is in such wretched procedure Belief of that sort is un-
worthy of intelligence
There may be a few unscrupulous physicians who
“farm” cases where the patients are wealthy and ignorant
enough to make it appear profitable to do so They are few
however The medical profession is honorable and self-sacrificing
Its great contributions to the welfare of thehuman
family are not made in curing the sick but in discover-
ing methods of prevention and in eddOating the people iii
the use of them The greatest service pet'formed by medi-
cal science has to do with teaching the people how to kepp
the doctor away But for that it receives meager pecuniary
reward The sick are and will remain the “bread buyers”
for physicians And if you think about it you will conclude
that this is the way of justice'” Eor one tiling the sick very
frequently are that way in consequence of their remisness
Had they profited by their doctor's advice they might have
kept him away from their bedsides
Leave out the fellows who pin their faith in harmless
superstitions that have survived age-long ridicule anil give
heed only to facts of common knowledge if it Were more fash-
ionable to use our natural facilities The man who tells you
that he has warded off rheumatism for 17 years by carrying
a couple of “buckeyes” in bis pocket unquestionably believes
he has done that thing in that way If sometime you find
him hobbling on rheumatic limbs and complaining of twinges
in every muscle and joint don't laugh at him He will ex-
plain that he broke the chain that he forgot to get new horse
chestnuts in the fall thus letting down the bars of his pro--teetion
against rheumatism? You cannot shake his belief in
that though you may have' positive knowledge !of the exact
act of negligence on his parr that exposed him to attack -‘
Too often it is our fault that we are sick That is worth
pondering at anytime but now especially Winter approaches
with its great variety of snares tor the unwary If we take
care of ourselves always we will have less use for medicine
And after a time we may be gracious enough to admit that we
owe something to the doctors for their lessons in prevention
It is not their fault if they have not worked themselves out
of active practice by advising the people in right ways of
living
Tie best place for paved streets in Miami right now is
around the court house The deep mud there is an eyesore
to every visitor to the city And the mud will get deeper
with the approach of winter
No mun liveth unto himself No man however rich or
poverty-stricken but is dependent upon the service of his fel-
low men
Herbert Hoover is being talked as a Republican White
Hope in the coming presidential election Already the sup-
porters of Wood and Johnson are becoming worried

coholic content of hard eider fr ’ '

PRODUCING THE BASIS
It is not probable that there is in the existing “class
struggle” any conscious effort to overthrow thrutli Belief
in the accuracy of the proverb “Truth is mighty and will pre-
vail” is universal here is however considerable divergence
as to what constitutes truth Many people strive to twist
and turn it to suit their own purposes The effect of this is
to deny the truth though they do not see it that way
Much of the effort uow under vay designed to improve
the conditions of wage workers would’ if successful over-
throw established trouble 5 If truth Is mighty enough to
prevail against anything those efforts are foredoomed to
failure Wherefore it is worth while inquiring what is the
truth with respect to economic propositions -
One was stated the other day in an address by Nicholas
Murray Butler president of Columbia University lie told
an audience that “if the wage earner can be led to under
stand that his wages are paid out of product and not out of1
: ' capital of out of profits he will speedily assist in increas-
ing production because he will understand that only in that
way is it possible to provide for any permanent increase in
wages”
That led naturally to this comment: “Persons other-
wise intelligent go about the country telling us that it is
mere hypocricy to say that the sets of employer and employ-
ed are the same On the coitrary it is mere ignorance to
say that they are not the same” Acknowledgement of the
truth first stated compels acceptance of the second proposi-
tiou' 1
- Capital thrives ou production It cannot thrive on any-
thing else Ho with labor ‘ '
If production is diminished to a point where it is un-
profitable the business concerned will he suspended or dis-
continued altogether Both capital and labor have a direct
interest in maintaining and increasing production

! FIGHTING “REVENOOERS”
! The setting of a bear trap by Alabama moonshiners to
catch internal revenue officers was noted in the news a few
days ago This is somewhat in contrast with the method
considered the most orthodox for dealing with “revenooers’’
— potting them from ambush with a shotgun
For many years hunting moonshiners in the mountains
of the Bon tli lias been a hazardous outdoor sport and many
an officer failed to return from his quest even in days when
the manufacture of liquor was legally authorized all over
the Southland No that there is no longer such legal man-
ufacture it is not unreasonable to expect that illicit stills
will greatly multiply in that region so peculiarly adapted to
such unlawful enterprise
-If it was dangerous in the old days to track the inoon-
: shiner to his still yet greater risk is likely to be encounter-
ed under a regime where profits in the traffic promise to be
so much greater Under such circumstances the position of
“revenooer” is not likely to be sought by those who prefer
a quiet and uneventful life Yet the government cannot per-
mit violation of the law without making every effort to Bup-
press the manufacture "
1 It is not to he expected that inoonshining will be eon-
fined to the Southern mountains It is already being widely
experimented in but in the more thickly populated regions
detection will be easier The mountaineers have had the ex-
perience of two or three generations in the business and
naturally are much better schooled in conducting it in a man-
ner to elude officers as well as being protected by isolation
and the clannishness of their neighbors
The efficiency of the New York Police in dispersing for-
mer service men enraged by Teuton opera leads to the hope
that some day an equal degree of firmness may b manifested
by civil authorities in dealing with the unpatriotic
The former kaiser wants an injunction against show-
ing of a moving picture film in which he is the principal
character Far be it from a world long seated with his fea-
tures (to object - ' '
Uncle Sam is unable to meet the demand for new money

heavy from the tact that the price
paid laBt week was $4760 tjut as the
buyers only saw fit to pay $45 at the
end of the week very little was sold
Lead remained the same $85 '
The future tor the zjnc industry
Is especially bright on account of the
demand from England and other for-
eign countries and only on account
of labor troubles is the price kept
down 1 - i
A number of the sheet zinc fac-
tories In the East are Idle on account
of strikes and the galvanizing Indus-
try Is paralyzed by the same trouble
Should the coal strike continue
for any considerable time the lead

closed down but many argue that It
would be a benefit as It would allow
the surplus to be sent to the smelt-
ers and leave the slate clean
