HARD TIMES FOR THE DOCTOR

WHY HE RAISED HIS FEES.

Doctors' fees have gone up, and some people are grumbling because their .medical men are charging them double what they paid before the war (says the London "Daily News"). A family practitioner, interviewed, protested against the statement that dbcors are profiteers. "Wo have to live, ,, ho.said, "we have to maintain a position, and we have to make allowances for- bad debts—which are certainly a bigger item with many of us than they used to be. When workmen," he added, "demand more■ waßes < they are held to be doing something quite legitimate; yet, if a doctor tries to regulate his fees according to the cost of living he is accused of being a profiteer."' Doctors were working very hard just now, he' said, and, nWeyer, had often to give very long credit. And very few doctors made a practice- of suing patients on ,accouiit of unpaid bills.
