Physicians accuse tha general pub lic of doing themselves considerable harm by their wide use of patent medicines. In this position they are right. But they might as well frankly admit that they are largely responsible for the prevailing prac tice, and the abuse will not stop un til tha physicians change their meth ods: V A man consults a physician. The physician is reasonably certain to give him one or more bottles of medicine. He may not be certain of his diagnosis and he sees the pa tient several times while he studies the case. Nine times out of ten he will give him some mild, inoffensive, useless medicine at the first visit in order to keep him satisfied during the diagnosis stage. Perhaps he says to him: "I find nothing organically wrong with you. I will give you a little tonic and you will soon be all right," or maybe it's a little something to increase his ap petite, or maybe "you are just a little on edge, and I will give you a little sedative or a little bromide." The patient takes the prescription to the drug store. On the way he reads and maybe ' copies it. Ever aftef he takes this medicine when ever he feels he needs it. There is a fair chance that he recognizes the ingredients as being about the same as those in some proprietary medi cine. He notes that the proprietary medicine is a more elegant mixture, looks better and sells for less than the druggist charged him for put ting up the prescription. There is no question but that when it comes to "an iron tonic" or "a little tonic" or "something for the stomach" or "something for the nerves," or a medicine "to make you sleep," a household purgative," a "good headache medicine." or "some, thing for rheumatism," the proprie' tary medicines are better looking and better tastirfg medicines, sell for leas, and are just as good as the medicines which doctors prescribe -in an ofl hand, patient-satisfying way. When you tell a physician, by his practice of giving a little medicine he is laying the foundation for the patent medicine evil, he replies that the patient expects to get some niedl cine at the first visit and the only way to satisfy him is to give him some. The wrong notion on the part of the patient is catered to by the doc tor and he in turn by his indifferent reaction builds up the habit of medi cine taking on which rests the pat ent medicine evil. I ' A better illustration of a vicious circle could not be thought of. In the long run, doctors would be. bet ter off if they told their patients who needed no medicine flatly that they would not prescribe medicine for them. The physicians might as well understand that the public's custom of buying and using patent and pro prietary medicines and refilled pre soriptions will never change mate- rially until the physician quits pre scribing except sparingly and with great discrimination. Causes of Heart Murmurs. W. A. J. writes: "Please tell what a heart murmur is, and if there is a cure for it. What causes the mur mur? " REPLY. - A heart murmur is a sound made by the blood passing through an opening that is somewhat abnormal. We have murmurs caused by nar rowed openings and others caused by overlarge openings. While there are other causes for heart murmurs' the rule is that a heart murmur indi cates a crippled heart valve. The u$ual cause, is some infection such as rheumatism. Tne cure is a mat ter of building up the heart muscle in order to make it equal to the ex tra work it is called upon to do. Babies Don't Use Rouge.

To tha Editor of The Bee: Why not add one more plank to the platform.' Let us have cheap power, by bring ing the water from the Loup river. Nothing could be done to put Omaha on the map as an industrial center as this one would. Every plant now running with coal would, have elec tric power and our city would bej free from smoke. The city should? own the plant, water canal and all. If we had this cheap power all the advertising we need to 'do to get in dustrial plants would be to tell the world of the cheap power. Nebraska. is a state without fuel, but we have1, the water power and we should utilize it and not depend on fuel that has to be transported so far at in creasing expense.

Then the city can take-over the street rail way and electric, light plant and w will then have started all right. F. A. STROUP. Friday night ltt order to register at the final hour. It la very true that all ot these people, and Also tha great crowd that was gathered at the elec tion commlssioner'a office, should have probably registered before this final hour, but I want to call your attention to the backwardnesa of tha city of Omaha, and tha lack of ef ficiency in tha city of Omaha, to their voting population on thla regis tration proposition. It seems that every woman voter, because practically none of them have ever registered before, and every citizen who has moved since the last registration, and of course there are a good many of these, were obliged to register in order to vote at rhis coming primary election on the 20th of thla month. Now It seemsN to me that it was snort-signtea policy to have but on registration place, and that the election commis sioner's office, for this supplemental registration. When I .was in Los Angeies mis winter I saw dozens tt men witn tables down on tha street corners taking the registration ot voters, giving every voter a real oppor tunity to register. ' This town gives nobody practically an nnnortunity to register excepting In a place where- they lack proper facilities, and when it cornea to tha last night, instead or ine wiecuon commissioner keeping his clerks st work right straight through until midnight, or even later, he simply gave the voters one short hour, from 8 to o'clock, to do this register ing, and still not one newspaper In Omaha has tha temerity to protest against this action, or to stand up for the voting publlo of this city. I am quite sure many thousands have lost their vote on account of im proper facilitlee for registration. . V E. H. M DBARMON.

Owing to the northward set of the West Green land currents the bergs of this side are. carried first to the north, and. it is only at about the 74th or 76th parallel of latitude that they begin to make their way westward to come down on the American side.. According to British press re ports, it is proposed to establish an imperial bank of India, involving the amalgamation of the Bank of Bengal, the Bank ot Madras and the Bank of Bombay. The proposition involves a total capital of 5$, 250,000 rupees and total reserve of 37,50ttr 000 rupees. The power for the first woolen mills in Piedmont was water, the old-time water wheel being used. This was followed by the turbine. At the present tme nearly all of the larger mills are supplied with both water and electric power. Very little steam power is used because no coal la mined in Italy and the amount Imported is sold at such liiph prices that it cannot be used economically.
