Zurich Herald, 1915-10-15, Page 3SCARCITY OF PHYSICIAN Call of Young Men to Wax Cripple Profession in England 1:7r TORTURING SCIATICA Semi -Fitted Dresses Smart Will The semi -fitted dress has become and will remain for some time a fav- orite. This is not odd, for it is not swiss The dearth of medical men in the United Kingdom is not only serious at present on account of the war, but it will continue for years afterward, in the opinion of the Lancet, the or- gan of the British medical profession. In a recent issue the Lancet says: • "That our medical schools will go very short of students is certain, anti this will mean a dangerously small list of medical practitioners to mini- ster to the needs of the country in the near future. The position is inevit- able. The spirit which will lead young men of the military age and the educated class to join the army must have this effect, but it is the duty of the medical profession to face the difficulty and to make the best of it. "The great work which the medical contingent with the navy and army has accomplished in the present war will act later as a stimulus to enthu- siasm for our calling, and the short- age which must occur in our ranks for the three or four years following, say, 1917, will speedily remedy itself when our social work resumes, as far as altered circumstances will per- mit, the scheme which we had, with considerable fack of prevision, come to regard as the normal one. "The war found the number of the medical profession in this country al- ready .disquietingly low, and: -with in- dications of further sagging in those numbers.' The figures indicate 'a' seri- ous shortage of medical men for the years following the war. Not only has a large number of young men otherwise would be beginning or pur- suing their medical studies been ab- sorbed, but, unfortunately, a serious toll was taken last autumn of those who, being already nearly qualified, would have been able to practice their profession as qualified men in a few . months. "The future will see an increased demand for medical Hien, and tlieir prospects of success will be so great that the aspirants will assuredly be numerous. And there will be an im- provement in the conditions which have prevailed in the past, not only because the profession of medicine will share in sociological progress, but because the record, of the work of medicine throughout. the war has been such that it -must lead to a closer relationship, between the medical pro- fession and the ublic. "The British public are. taking a more intelligent interest in these things, and the energy with which lay bodies are working in operation with the medical profession in carrying out various schemes for the well -be. ing of the people may be taken as an indication that the health of the nation will be a first consideration of the immediate future, which means that there will be a great demand for medical men at the close of the war. And this is the essential message to the students now in the schools. AUSTRALIA'S PART IN WAR. Colony Has Raised 117,000 Men and Sent 76,566. A comparison of the manner in which Australian and Canadian trade have been affected by the war and an official statement as to the number of soldiers Britain's Antipodean colony has contributed to the allied cause is contained in a report to the Govern- ment by Trade Commissioner Ross in Melbourne. Australian trade during 1913-14 totalled $812,812,658, as compared with a. Canadian total of $1,113,562,- 107, but in 1914 her trade- was but $608,662,014, as compared with Can- ada's showing of $1,078,173,240. Since the declaration of war on August 4, 1914, the Commonwealth had organized, equipped and de- spatched 76,566 troops for active ser- vice abroad. At the present time 40,400 troops are in camps in Aus- tralia for despatch to the front, To date the grand total of the Australian expeditionary forces raised has reached 117,000 men, excluding 8,000 troops of the citizen forces mobilized For home defence. Reinforcements ere going forward at the rate of 5,300 a month, and this number will be in- creased to 10,600 in October and 10,- 000 in November. Knocked Out.

Modern Store With Its "Ads" An All - Year -Round Fair. In the days before our era scientific and mechanical improvement began, a great deal of the work of distributing goods was done through the means of the fair. Merchants of all kinds would set up their booths at the fair, and the people from allthe country- side would come looking for bargains. Wants that arose after the fair was over had to remain unsupplied until the opening of- the next fair, unless the customer could make the toilsome journey to the nearest large town or could prevail upon some neighbor who was undertaking such a journey to execute his commission. The fair still survives for special lines of goods or for special occasions, but for general trade it has been supplanted by the established store with its advertise- ments in the daily newspapers. "A day too late for the fair" is a prever- bial expression of costly and wasteful tardiness. The person to whom it was applied in theold days had lost the chance of doing profitable business. Anyone who fails to read and heed the advertisements in his newspaper wastes his money just as did the poor wight of old who was "a day too late for the fair," and had to supply his wants at great cost. The modern store and the modern advertisement constitute, in effect, a fair that is open all the year round and that affords such bargains as the hagglers and chafferers of old days never even dreamed of. A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food that Helped Her. "When I first read of the remark- able effects of Grape -Nuts food, I de- termined to secure some," says a western woman. "At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a com- mercial traveller. "I. had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting, Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only tem- porary relief. As soon as I began to use Grape -Nuts the cramps disap- are en ire pealed t lI y am to -day petted- ly well, can eat anything and every- thing I wish, without paying the pen- alty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape -Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I reecived that he has been recommending Grape -Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells it to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape. Nutsvery generally'. There is some satisfaction in using a reallysciefti fically prepared food."

Hours for Sales Fewer Than Before— Prohibition Gaining. The prohibition wave which is pass- ing over England is gaining rapid headway, and drastic measures are being adopted throughout England, and the order just issued by the Cen- tral Control Board in charge of the liquor traffic in Liverpool and the Mersey district is typical of what is beteg done. This order prohibits the sale of any intoxicating Iiquor in hotels or any licensed premises or clubs for con- sumption on the premises during all hours of the day and night which are not included in the special meal hours designated. 'These hours are between 12 noon and 2.30 in the afternoon and between 6.30 and 9.30 in the evening. Except between the hours just men- tioned no person will hereafter be permitted, either by himself or any servants or agents, to sell or supply to any person any intoxicating liquor to be consumed on the premises. The order also prohibits the actual con- sumption of any liquor, even if it has not been obtained or purchased on the premises. ,The only hours during which liquor may be sold for consumption off the premises are between 12 noon and 2.30 p.rn. and 6;30 p.nl. and 8.30 pain, The silver Ii hbr to to ' %i'eat' " many Every Siff Joint Limbered, he matism Cured !

Whether it's toothache, earache, headache, neuralgia,' lame back or a 'cold, Nerviline will cure just as readily as it will cure rheuma- tism. For family use nothing equals Nerviline. A Blow to Her Pride.. An old Scotswoman, who had re- sisted all the entreaties ofher friends to have her photograph taken, and who was at last induced to consent in. order that she might send her likeness to her son in America, is the heroine of the following anecdote: On receiving the first proof she failed to recognize the figure thereon represented as herself, so, card in hand, she set out for the artist's studio to ask if there was no. mistake. "Is that me?" she queried. "Yes, madam," replied the artist. "And is it like me?" she again asked. "Yes, madam; it's a speaking like- ness." "Aweele," she said, resignedly, "it's a huniblin' sight."

"Oh, George," she replied in broken tones, "you didn't send me a kiss 'in your seventh letter!" George thought like lightning for a moment before he replied: "I know I didn't, petsy, but I had steak and onions that night for sup- per, and you wouldn't like me to kiss you after eating onions, would you?" clouds is nothing but moonshine. .ED. 6, ISSUE 42—'15. ENGLAND FOR INDEMNITY.• Germany Would Like to Realize Old Blucher's Wish. The British newspapers are incul- eating thebelief in the minds of the people that the ultimate object of the Kaiser is to secure en indemnity from England. In the minds of the Ger- meals the wealth of England isfabu- lous. It is not expected that any in- demnity can be secured from Russia, Italy or France, and in case the Ger- mans win all three of these nations will be bankrupt at the close of the war. England alone will have money and property, and can be looked to to recoup Germany for her immense ex- penditures. To do this it will be ne- cessary to take Calais, sweep the English Channel with the German guns, drive off the fleet and land the German army in England. The rest is thought to be easy and London will realize old Blucher's wish when he Never Missed a Chance. looked out over the city and said: "Mein . Gott, what a rich place to loot."

Mark Twain told how, when travel- Iing through India several years ago, he greatly enjoyed the humiliation of a very pompous member of the judiciary. He was strutting back and forth on the platform of a wayside station when a perspiring Englishman rushed up, touched the judge on the shoulder, and asked: "Tell me, is this the Bombay train?" The judge drew himself up, brushed the stranger's arm aside, and cuttingly remarked: "I'm not the stationmaster, sir!" "Oh! you're not?" said the Englishman, evidently surprised. Then with an air of extreme exasperation, he demand- ed: "Well, what the dickens do you mean by swaggering about as though you were?" The saying that a woman doesn't like to tell her age may be a cruel I slander on the sex; but it was true of Mrs, Thomson. She never missed a chance of letting her friends know she was years yonger than her hus- band. "Yes, George is 50 years old," she remarked to a visitor one day, "and there are ten years between us." But the visitor. was an elderly spin- ster, with a sour disposition.' "Is that so," she exclaimed, in well-a"ssutned surprise. "Now, really, you look ,quite as young as he does!" It is almost as difficult to be a good neighbor as to have one. Purely Herbal -No poison- ous coloring matter.
