The fees from Jan. 1, 1903, will be: For visits between S a. ni. and 6 p. m.. $1.( to S3. For visits between G a. m. and S a. m., $2 to $i. For visits between 6 p. m. and 10 p.. ni.. $2 to $4. For visits between 10 p. m. and G a. m.. $3 to $5. For visits at stated time, $2 to $5. For visits during oftice hours, $2 to For emergency visit (where every thing must be dropped in order to make it immediately). $2 to $5. For consultation visit, $ to $25. An extra charge may be made for bad roads or inclement weather. The only change is in regard to the first item which has been raised from $1 to $3 to $1.50 to $3. There are more changes in other parts of the fee bill, especially in the surgical schedule. There are many ojerations now of almost daily occur rence which were unheard of 10 or 15 years ago. when the old fee bill was f6rumlated. The reasons for the slight, increase in the amount of the fees are that much more is demanded of physicians and surgeons now than formerly arid the vastly increased cost of living. The following named physicians have pledged themselves to the new fee bill: Rock Island Drs. Joseph A. say, Carl I'ernhardi, Eli Bradford, C. C. Carter, II. H. Chase, J. P. Comegys, ft. ft.

After giving a fair and patient trial to each of many alleged cures for Sleeplessness the writer stumbled across a simple method of inducing somno lence that has the merit of being harm less and inexpensive. To smokers the remedy involves no cost whatever, but of nonsmokers the capital outlay of the price of a pipe is required. It must be a wooden pipe and curved, not straight. Having retired for the night, the suf ferer should lie perfectly flat on his back, discarding pillow rests, and puff steadily at an empty pipe until he feels thoroughly drowsy. The desired result usually is achieved after from about sixty to a hundred puffs have been made. The puffing should be done slowly, with a deep inhaling movement. The expelling motions must be made deliberately with narrowed mouth. During the entire operation the pipe should not be removed, as each displac ing aud replacing movement tends to wakefulness. Those capable of great concentration of thought should, if smokers, imagine they see volumes of smoke, and those who eschew the burning weed will be helped by counting the puffs: As sleep is often successfully wooed while yet the pipe is in the mouth, bowls of meerschaum or clay are not recommended, since these are liable to be broken when the coming of slumber allows the pipe to 6lide from the mouth.- Nervous people may be reas sured that there Is no danger In falling asleep with the stem edge of a curved pipe caught between one's, teeth. Sleep always occasions the grip to, be re moved. That may hold also of straight Dines-, tut for otiec.ajQdpbyiqusrea- sons" these are less sultanie man tflose with curved stems. New York Mall and Express. LONDON'S LORD MAYOR. Ilia Power aa "Well aa the Area He Knlea la Limited. The lord mayor of London is not the all powerful official he is thought to be on the continent. He is not the mayor of all London, but only of the city of London, and the City is but a frac tion of the whole. Greater Ixmdon has, roughly, a population of 0,000,000, but In the 050 acres that comprise the City there is a resident population at night of only 38,000 and by day of little over 300,000. And even within this area the powers of the lord mayor and of the twenty-six aldermen and the two hun dred odd common councilors are by no means autocratic. Much of what used to lie within his and their province has been taken over by the London county council. In fact, the average Londoner never thinks of the lord mayor as an edict making, law giving otiicial. He stands altogeth er apart in the popular mind from ques tions of rates and assessments, schools and police. Very few people could say what legislative functions, if any, he fulfills. They may have heard that he is the chief magistrate of the courts, but beyond that their knowledge of his precise duties does not stray. It is the social and decorative side of his position- that impresses the public. The lord mayor is never without his badge and rarely without his robes and chains of office. He rides abroad in a magnif icently gilded couch, with powdered coachmen and footmen in cocked hats and silk knee breeches, sending a gleam of gold through the dirty drab of London. The lord mayor's .show on Nov. 9 is one of England's few annual pageants and, uncouth as it is, has a warm place in the hearts of the populace, and, be sides all this, he has some rights and provileges of 400 years' standing. No troops may pass the City boundaries without his leave. The sovereign him self has to ask permission to enter the city walls, just as ho has to ask for permission to enter the house of com mons. Harper's Weekly. Her Trick. A cantankerous old farmer, who hardly ever agreed with anything his wife said .to him, came home one wet day aud, placing his back to the fire, stood up to dry. After some little time his wife turned to him and said: "John, you'd better watch yoursel or you'll burn your flannels." . To which John replied: "I think I'll need to burn my trou sers first." "Indeed. John,' you'll need to do naeth ing of the kind. They're burnt al ready." London Tit-Bits. Improve. It is a solemn duty devolving on all to make the utmost possible out of themselves. Men seek the highest de velopment of their flocks and herds and grain and flowers. The result is the improved flora and fauna of these days over those of prior ones.
