The Tuberculosis Exhibit of the
Pennsylvania Society for the pre
vention of Tuberculoids has been
helil In twelve cities of the State
with splendid success, over oue hun
dred and fifty thousand people bav
ins' attended. 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.

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.

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.
