DOCTORS AND THE BALLOT.
INTERESTING EVIDENCE, Some rather interesting information regarding doctors' appeals from the .ballot was given by Dr. Valintinc, Chief of the Public Health Department, at tho Military Service Board in Wellington on Monday (says The Dominion). Dr. Valintine asked for the exemption of a New Plymouth doctor, and this was granted temporarily. The military representative with the board asked Dr. Valintine if he proposed to appear in every doctor's appeal. Dr. Valintine: If the district will be short and will unduly suffer by his going. The military representative: If an appeal is referred to you, and you don't support it, it can bo taken that you think the man should go to the front. Dr. Valintine: Yes. Dr. Valintine added that the board had had before it quite recently the appeal of another doctor in Taranaki, and that though the appeal had succeeded the doctor should not have been exempted. -' The name of the doctor referred to was handed to the board, and the chair* man remarked that the case had not been disposed of yet.
