Dr. Vaughn mado "tho wjrvlco of medicine to civilization" the sub Ject of his Inaugural address. "In tho last century the averago of human llfrf has been Increased by 1C years and this incrcaso could bo duplicated lu tho next 20 years," he said, "If tho facts wo now possess were effectively employed. "Tho further development- of medicine, both curative and pre ventive, depend on scientific inves tigations. Tho public In tho beno ficlary and should In every way en courage medical research. Tho fed eral government and tho states should sustain and promote scientific re search. That government Is tho best which secures for Its citizens tho greatest freedom from disease, the highest degree of health and tho long est life, and that pcoplo which most fully secures tho enjoyment of tlie-o blessings will dominate tho world. "Wo boast of a great civilization, lilt this Is Justified only within limits. Tho historian of tho futuro will have no difficulty in convincing his read ers that those who lived at tho be ginning of tho twentieth cecntury were but slightly removed from bar barism, as he will tell that tho school, saloon and houso of prostitution flourished In proximity; that tho capitalist worked his employes under conditions which precluded sound ness of body; that tho labor union inau dynamited buildings; that white wo scut mlsslonarlus to convert tho Moslems and tho Uuddhlst, 10,000 murdors woro committed annually In our midst, and that a large percent age of our mortality waa duo to pro vcntablo dlseaso."

FINAL action by tho ity council upon-Water rates to be charged suburbanites will bo taken soon. Upon tho decision of tho council depends, to a large degree, fho growth, development and progress of tho ad.jaoont terri tory honoo.of tho city itself. There are approximately one hundred water consum ers outside the city limits.' .Many of them are lUctercd. Xo one who pays motor rates wastes wader. There are approximately twenty-two hundred water consumers within the city limits, very Tow of whom are metered. Many waste water sufficiently to fiU street gutters. Others let it run continuously in the house, in stead of taking ice. Many irrigate market gardens as well as lawns at flat rates. ,u When there is a water 'shortage it is not duo to the hundred outside users, many of whom cannot secure wat er except when the lvsorvoir is full, but rather to the in capacity of tho distributing system and the waste of the 2200 inside users. The proposed new schedule is so high that it is pro nibitivo. It is higher than anyone, unless ho be a million aire, can afford to pay. It makes a water rate of about $2r an acre per month for lawn and shrubbery, on the light soils of the hills. To charge a $2.5)0 monthly minimum with 25 cents a .1000-gallons is. more than is charged in any city in the country for outside consumers. Portland, which charges ji comparatively high rjite to the outsiders, has a one dollar minimum, 22 cents per 1000 gallons for the first lf)00 gallons. 30 2-! cents per 1000 gallons for tho next 150,000 gallons, and i;l U) cents per 1000 gallons for all over 151.500 gallons. The injustice of the proposed increase in rates is iiiiiu ifest when it is realized that the raise wjis made without notice of :iny kind. The suburbanite did not have his day in court. Persons were permitted to plant gardens and lawns, nothing said about a change in the rates that would force a change in plans, until the hot drv weather of sum mer is at hand, and the suburbanite given the option of paying doulile rates or losing the work ot the past few months and lotting improvements die. The struggle iu hard times for a living is hard enough without uniiccessarv burdens that will drive needed de velopers out of the country. council takes a broad view ot former action. STRETCHING A' Scries of Duslucss Talks by A. M. Burroughs, of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. Copyrighted. A Northern Indiana furnlshln? goods concern went out of business a few months ago. When mo stocn was Inventoried some caps were found which wcro made especially for tho Grant-Colfax presidential campaign in 1S72. Tliiuk of that! Stock forty years old. The caps cost about 2-c each and there wero three dozen ot them, cost ing $0 in all, wholesale. Charge up a percentage equal to the cost of doing business against that JO worth or dead stock for -10 years and see what It cost tho mer chant to keep It on his shelves. Ask tho banana man who standn at tho cornor of Seventh -street and Tranklln a von no In St. Louis, how much ho could mako on that $9 in 40 years In his business. Then you will know what It would have pro fited this clothing concern had It not kept that stock on tho shelves If it had mod the capital right. This banana man buys a cart load of bananus every morning, costing him about 'J, and sells them before night lor S20. Since ho works every day, holi days and Sundays, ho turns his capi ta) every day, 30 times a month. On a capital of $9 ho does n gross 1-uslnoM of more than $5000 In tho ulna months ho Is able to work. In 40 )oars ho could do a gross business of S. 92. 000 on that little capital without increasing his capi Resents Attack To tho Kdlter: In a recent Issuo of tho Sun, Juno 19, u half-pugo comparison picture and a two column editorial up pirnicd which 1 would llko to rosont through your columns.

What would he make if ho had 19000 capital and appllod tho same principles? Any wonder the chain store fel lows can keep buying more stores and undersell the "good-enough-for-mo" one-man store? The ownor of a chain of six sloros has never put n single dollar of hi. own money into tho last four stores ho opened. When ho opened his second store ho began buying In small quantities. stocking up every day and scllln,; tho goods before thu bills camo duo. In a short tlmo ho opened hU third store, without putting any of his own money Into It. Soon he In creased his chain to six stores. Now he is doing business almost entirely on tho other inaVa capital. Ho buys In very smnl quantities and discounts his bills with tho proceeds from tho sales of tho goods. If tho retailor provides himself rlth accurato and complete detail In formation about his sales and his stock on hand, ho can practically do business entirely on the capital of tho houses from which ho buys--and mako thoso houses glud to lo him do It. Hut Isn't It better to stand tho ox ponso of adoqualo records nud do n big profitable buslnesn on little capi tal, than to worry along without records and do a jwiail unprofitable business on tho most capital you can rnlio and scrape?
