It wa* open in Wilkes-Harre from May 2nd. to May 9th., and at the elating ses sion Dr. W. (i. Weaver announced that the following-rules for the pre servation of health will here after be printed on the covers of all school books used by the ten thousand school children of the city. The Wyoming Valley Tuberculosis dispensary at Wilkes- Mar re is meet ins); with great success. It has at present three hundred and sixty eight patients actually under treat ment. 3lany of these are early cases who the physicians feel can be treat ed successfully in their homes while working. A new feature of the work at the dispensary is the class system of iu struifing patients. A large black board ha? been hung in the waiting room and on it is written the names of the patients having the best rec ord during the month, as told by Ihe record hooks in which the patient* enter daily tic amount of mi Ik, raw eggs and and other food they have taken and bow many inuus they have spent in sitting out of-doors. Jiy this (.lass system the dispensary is able to arouse a spirit of rivalry among the patients and there is a contest every mouth to see who can show the nrost progress. I POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Chatham. N. If. Itet* Correspondent New Toi% (Mate Orange NEW GRANGES. New York OrganUer Givea Bome Prac tical Suggestions. John N. Stowe, a special deptty of the New York state grange, gives some sensible suggestions about or ganizing new granges. He says that it is not bost to call a meeting until at least thirteen of the prospective mem'* ; bers' fees are paid. Twenty or thirty j charter members mate a good number i to start with. At the first meeting, ! when all who intend to become mem bers have signed the application list and have paid their does, those not desiring to join should be requested to retire from the room. The ballots should then be taken on those names which were on the list prior to the meeting to ascertain if they are willing to affiliate with each other; then bal lot singly on the names presented at the meeting, and If any ballot Is un favorable return the fees to the appli cant and allow him to retire. Induce ments in respect to grange stores, trade j discounts, co-operative purchasing, etc., should not be held out for persoua to join the grange. They are likely to overestimate these advantage*. "I be lieve," said Mr. Stowe, "that the grange that, is organlted 'for education al purposes first and co-operation aft er will accomplish the greatest good." Let great stress he placed on the first object of our Order—namely, to d* velop a higher manhood and woman hood. The obligation should be made ' very Impressive. It should be regard- J j ed as a sacred thing and should be ad- ; | ministered and assumed with the In- | tention that It is to tie sacredly kept. ' Anything short of this is not an ot* j ligation. The duty of each officer should then be explained, and then I proceed to the election of the officer* I and Instruction In the unwritten work. | Installation may take place at this j meeting if there is time. After the ; officers-, arc Installed they should be as sisted in opening the grange In du« form, and so far as possible assistance and Instruction should be given in the different degrees; then proceed with the Instructions for the closing ceremony. ARBOR DAY PLANS. A Suggested Programme For Arbor Day Meeting. The Arbor day observance should be * arranged at a previous meeting, com ; inittees being appointed to awaken an . interest in the matter and to superin tend the setting of such trees as are placed In public parks or other public places. All the people, whether mem bers of the grange or not, should be I made interested if possible in the work, j On the evening of Arbor day a meet ing should be held at the grange hall ! and appropriate exercises presented. This meeting can be a closed session jor open to the public. The following is ; suggested as an appropriate pro i gramme for such a meeting: Address- "The Origin and Object of Ar ! bor Day Observance." Questions For Discussion—What are the : advantages of each of the following meth ods of Arbor day observance In this lo cality? Setting trees for growth of wood or timber, and what variety should be set? Setting trees for fruit growing, and what varieties should be set? Setting trees for shelter and shade around tho home, and what varieties should bu set? Setting trees along the highway and upon j public grounds, and what varieties should be set? ■ Essay—The setting of evergreen trees and rules to be observed In setting them. ! Essay—The name and characteristics of j all varieties of trees by tho roadside be tween my home and.the grange hail. i Five minute talks by members, each stating what action he has taken In the day's observance. Supper. Of course this is intended only as I suggestive, for many other appropriate exercises might be named from which to select. I v ■ Qrinat Dairyman's Leaaue. Watch the Gates. The grange Is growing by leaps fcaA bounds in many states. Large classes i are being initiated. Let them uot be ; too large or BO large us to comprise • some members who will be better out than !n the grange. In Kentucky the grange has taken a new lease of life. Five hundred new grange balls have been or soou will b* completed \v that state. Family Secret.
