Now Glasgow is try ing out a plan to sell medical servh wholesale. ' * What Glasgow Is striving Io «Io Is th is: Divide ¡he city in districts ami provide tree (li»|H‘nsarles ami fr e <loc- tors to all who need tnedical at •ut ioti. It Is claimed that such a scl.« „• will reduce the death rate, because many .poor ptMiple now skimp their fn u til.e -* in the m atter of health precautions. And the doctors like It. also. They work few er hours and a standard pay Is guaranteed. W ithal, the Glasgow plan <*f whole sole doctoring Is -»»hl to he cheaper than our old-fashioned retail method “G irdnl” w rites In the Philadelphia Press. ” American cities have made half a step tow unl such doctoring of the peo ple In wholesale lots. We have boards of health and health bureaus. They adm inister In a gen eral way and they adm inister In whole sale doses. An order goes out and It goes for all the people. It Is economical and wise, as every one knows, during such an epidemic as the “flu” was last year. Doctoring by wholesale saved m il lions of lives In that one calamity. Uncle Sam did the Insuring of Ills own soldiers by w holesale In the lust war. Public schools supply educutlon In wholesale quantities. Our spiritual wnnta are supplied Ln a fashion wholesale through the churches. So wholestfle doctoring Is only an other day’s march In th e general d i rection of a socialistic empire. :5,8C0 BO LSIEK I CAPTURED BY A r a b ia •lie of Orest Britain. t ,Æ r a - A ugust . * X T u e sd a ys • and Ppógpam * T“ S a tu rd a y s ’ *•-» * of E ach E fiJ e c k Popular Prices, 30c and 15c, Prevail Unless Otherwise Specified Show Starts Eight O’clock .■ - y » I E r a {d •<v‘* " S a tu r d a y A u g u st 2 8 t h “ Sundown Trail” w i t h F r a n k M a y o s ta r r in g his is a Western Drama, a Special Production, at Popular Prices and a 2-reel Comedy rr.fr C a p i t a l cf the Philippine».
