' jConfinement in County
Jail.
Dr. S. Fields will be "auto
matically" dropped from the mem
bership of the Uualia uougias oun
... " L. 1
president of the association.
The association probably will not
take any steps to have Dr. Field's
license to practice medicine revoked,
however.
"That matter should be left to the
county attorney," said Dr. Ellis. "He
should notify the s tate board of
medical examiners of the circum
stances and it will undoubtedly re
voke the license unless an appeal to
liicher courts hv Dr. Fields should
result in a revcrsaf of the decision ini

Fields had remained a member of
our association until he was found
guilty of the charge placed against
him."
Seeki New Trial.
Dr. Ellis explained Dr. Field's
membership in the association ex
pires on January 1 and that his name
will simply be dropped ' from the
, membership roll. The association
will meet the second Tuesday in
January but the Fields case will not
vbe tip for consideration in 'any way,
according to Dr. Ellis.
A motion for a new trial for Dr.
. Fields was to be filed yesterday in
district court,, according to B. N.
Robertson, his attorney,
It is believed Field's appeal bond
, will not be under $10,000. His at
torney said lie anticipated no diffi
culty in obtaining the bond.
Mrs. Fields visited her husband at
the county jail Sunday for a short
time. She was calmer than on her
previous visits when she was at
' times hysterical.
In Solitary Confinement.
Fields is said to have replied to
suggestions that he plead guilty
nd begin to serve his sentence at
once:
have a fighting chance arid I
win ask for a new trial. If I give
up and go to the penitentiary my li
cense Jto practice medicine will be
revokefl and I'll have to go into a
' new business Vvhen I am freed. I'll
take the chance on a new trial."
By his own request Fields is be
ing kept in solitary confinement at
the county jail. "Fields asked to be
allowed to be alone and I have re
spected his wishes," Sheriff Qlark
said today.

' " DUTY TO TELL
'The Way Tanlac Restored
My-Health Is Wonderful,"
Say Wichita Woman.
"I believe when a medicine helps
one who is suffering it is nothing
but right to let others know about
it and that is why I want to tell my
experience with Tanlac," said Mrs.
A. G. Callaway, of 220 North Sen
eca St., Wichita, recently.
"For months' before I got Tanlac
I suffered terribly from indigestion
and other troubles. My appetite
was very poor. I was nervous, and
nothing I ate seemed to agree with
me. I never got any sound sleep
and often lay awake for a great part
of the night. '
"I had frequent spells of dizziness
and terrjble pains in the small of
my back, just above the kidneys.
My strength and energy were slowly
leaving me, and I just "pulled myself
about tUe- house, and it was out of
the question for me to do my house
work. "A neighbor of mine told me how
much good -Tanlac had done her,
and J. began to fake it, and the way
it restored my health was wonder-
ful. I have a splendid appetite now,
and everything tastes "Rood and
agrees with me. I sleep like a child
and am no longer. ervous or dizzy
and the pains have all gone from
my back. In fact, I am a well and
happy woman, and I owe it all to
Tanlac. It's just grand."

cfSuld a father be found who would
be guilty of such inhumanity?"
