Because it was feared an “gver- _ stuffed. meal” might hinder the afterndon “efficiency and maneuveribility” of Uncle Sam's troops, officers decided that turkey would be the evening meal instead of the midday repast. For most of the 5000 Guardsmen in Indiana, maneuvers will continue until Sunday night. The war games are part of a seven-day field training period ordered before Jan. 1. The: ‘training is designed to put Uncle Sam's hard-hitting first line of defense in the best condition possible. for an emergency.

SWITCHES CONTROL iy HOSPITAL BEY

PY—An automatic Hospital bed; controlled by eight switches at the * patient’s : fingertips, has been installed here at the local hospital by

its inventor, Dr. R. E. Freund. The switches enable the pateint to make himself comfortable without calling for a nurse and they are arranged so that he will not throw himself out of bed should he press all the buttons at once. 3 One switch raises the head of the bed, another lowers- it, others control the foot of the bed, a third sels ‘removes a center section, has steps to make «climbing into bed” a thing of the past. The bar to which trays and redding racks are attached may be’ used by the patient to chin himself when recovery is sufficient to require exercise. The bed weighs about 300 pounds. Dr. Freund, who got the idea while working at Ford Hospital in Detroit, said that he intended to reduce the weight of his invention.

Deer Nice, But 15 Are Plenty

DUVAL, Saskatchewan, Nov. 23 (U. P.).—Kindness has its own reward, but sometimes it pays too many: dividends. Such was the experience of Gunnar Varfeldt, a market gardener, ‘who always has loved animals. About three years ago, he befriended two small deer that had made their home in the bush

But the two deer wrought two

more into the world and they, too,

were petted and fed. That little

‘colony grew until now there are

15 deer, all tame, who linger lovingly ‘around the Varfeldt gardens. Mr. Varfeldt, in despair, has appealed to the provincial government to relieve him of his friendly charges. i

N. Y. DOCTOR FLAYS

- SPLITTING OF FEES:

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 (U. P)— Dr. Terry M. Townsend, president of,

the Medical Society ofithe State of New York, says that the physician who splits fees is a “moral indigent.” “He sells his honor for a fee which he has not earned, and which he obtains in such a way that if the patient weresaware of it, he would get another doctor,” Dr. Townsend said. “Fee-splitting is a disgraceful confession of incompetence. Such

short-sightedness is not unknown among physicians who call themselves professional men. Nor is it unknown to seek a doctor's dole— which is what state control of the practice of medicine will really be. “The price paid for this bounty will be loss of personal freedom and disparagement of the quality of the physician's work.”
