THE OLD FAMILY DOCTOR.
Ptaawng of a Onoo Loading Figuro In
Evory Community.
The old family doctor is now but
landmark. He is rapidly passing
out of existence. He has been
crowded from the city. His field of
practice now includes the small
country towns.
Time was when the old family
doctor was a member of the household.
He was the father confessor,
the family adviser, the counselor of
ihe head of the family. His word
was law. He commanded more re pect
from the children than the
president of the United States ever
will command.
He was the doctor of all the ills
the flesh might fall heir to. He
O onl/1 an /I f over ho cot. fl

broken leg or arm; he was the physician
who treated troubles of the
?sr, throat and eye; he was the
food Samaritan who walked with
suffering woman through the valley
of the shadow of death; he was
a potent factor in the affairs of
many homes; his field of labor was
ft rugged one; he labored well and
faithfully, but the old family doctor
lived in an age when the doctor
did a general practice.
We live differently in our present
day and generation. We live in the
age of specialism. There arc ear
specialists, nose specialists, eye spe
cialists, fever specialists, physicians
who make ft specialty of children's
diseases. There are specialists who
confine their efforts to relieving the
suffering ">f the feet. There are
neurologists who do nothing but
treat disordered nerves. If your
heart is affected you go out in search
f a physician who makes this vital
function of life his specialty.
If you should ask the average
doctor of today to extract a tooth he
would laugh and refer you to a
dentist, yet the time was when the
family physician did not hesitate 10
pull a tooth.
Ask the average physician what
to do for an ulcerated eye and he
will promptly wash his hands and
politely suggest to you to consult an
oculist.
However anxious a physician may
be to serve you, he stands on ethical
grounds and because of such sentiments
feels that it is his duty to so
advise you.
Yes, the day of the old family
nhvsician is a dav of the past.?

National Parka.
Sixteen national parks are maintained
by the federal government,
including one in Hawaii The others
are in Arizona, Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
8outh Dakota, Washington and
Wyoming. Yellowstone National
park, located in Wyoming, Montana
and Idaho, is by far the largest, having
an area of 3,348 square miles,
nearlv as great as that of Rhode Is
V c?
land and Delaware combined. Glacier
National park, in Montana, and
Yosemite National park, in California,
rank second and third, respectively,
in size, the area of the former
being 1,534 square miles and
that of the latter 1,124 square miles.
A Bear and a Log Jam.
A big log jam that on one occasion
blocked an Illinois river was
broken in a peculiar manner. A
browr bear was noticed by one of
the rivermen prowling around the
skids and later was observed crawling
over the piled up timber. Gradually
bruin worked his way down to
the key log and attacked it frantioally.
Instantly the mass of logs
broke. The bear was crushed to
T _ a _ _ *1 1 J iL.l
pieces, uater it was learnea mat
the key log was filled with honev.
Brazil's Snaka Garden.
At Butanta, Brazil, there is the
most remarkable and repulsive garden
in the world. It is 700 acres in
extent and is a garden of venomous
serpents, which are maintained for
purely scientific purposes. There
are laboratories which produce serums
for the cure and prevention of
Ae effects of snake bite. The
snakes are kept in a small park in
order that their habits and the best
methods of escaping their attacks
may be studied.
Wild Bm.
Wild bees gather the nectar most
freely in the buckwheat. They also

bees ignore. The bet from the
woods doesn't seem to c.re for propagated
flowers, nor wn" it enter
any hive that has been plat >d lor it,
no matter how enticing th > food
there. It is far more vieiout than
ifa cultivated brother.
How to Succeed.
Believe in yourself, believe in humanity,
believe in the success of
your undertaking. Fear nothing
and no one. Love your work. Work,
hope, trust. Keep in touch with today.
Teach yourself to be practical
and up to date and sensible. You
cannot fail.
