Christmas Eve,
TIip jo of expectation is only
equaled by the fruit of realization
Tonight childhood In unsuspecting
innoconce lies down to Its happiest
sleep, to dream out its fondest hopes
of Santa Onus. The father and
mother wonder If In all their anxiety
to satisfy they really will succeed In
averting a suggestion of disappoint
ment in the morning. For after all
that tho childish mind has spoken, the
little heart still treasures for Its own
secret something It wants Santa
Claus to bring, but feols that It dare
not rovcat.
nut this Is the picture of the child
with a right to expect a merry
Christmas. Sot off in contrast with
tho little one to whom chill
penury dcnlos such right, we catch
full force tho deep pathos the other
sldo, as it were, of Christmas, with
which,, unhappily, many little ones
nro all too familiar. Hut to them the
blight cannot possibly be as bitterly
withering as to their parents, who
lovo them as fondly as the other par
enta love theirs. No sadder picture
than a home with little ones forgot
ten by old Santa was ever thrown
upon the canvas of life.
So iri your giving, In your Joy, if
we remember such we thus make the
festival of Christmas richer in meaning.

efforls to tho nation-wide fight on
fce-Hpllttlng, which, according to re
port, has centered. at St. Louis. This
la a vicious system, entitled to no
consideration at the hands of a pro
fession which makes so much of
ethics. The system haa been built
up from within and must, therofore,
bo destroyed from wlthlh tho frater
nity. It has spread to every part of
the country arid nothing short of a
natlpn-wide movement Will eradicate
It. No reputable physician or Bur
geon would daro openly to defend tho
system. Lot none dare, thereforo,
covertly, td resist this attack. Now
that tho trumpet of war has sounded,
the medical profession cannot afford
to muffle Its guns.
Fee-splitting results In so many
qbvloun evils na to call, It would
seem, for only general condemnation.
For ono thing, where praotlced be
tween family physician and surgeon,
It tends to put n cheap prlci on life
and subject Ihe pationt to tho high

ity. It passes comprehension how a
profession that would punish a mem

vertising, would hldo Its face in such
malevolence as this. It Is to be
