Dr. Gardner T. Swarts, Secretary of the State Board | of Health, has begun an investigation, i According to Dr. William T. Knoop of Providence, the visiting physician, the deaths can be traced to a single ease of condensed milk. Samples of this milk in the hands of the State Board are ,said to have shown the presence of highly deleterious bac teria. The matter was first brought to the attention of the State authorities some days ago by Frank T. Calef, Overseer of the Poor in East Provi dence. He noticed that tiie death rate at the Myrtle home was unduly large, and that the causes appeared in the reports as "malnutrition," "con vulsions." "intestinal indigestion," "general weakness," "acute menin gitis," "anaemia," etc. The home is conducted by the Lighthouse Mission Association, or ganized last year under a State char ter. At the head of the institution is A. H. Tonrtelot. who stated to The Wold to-day that he is a non-sectarian minister and had never been ordained. The directors are: W. H. Searil, Tbe odosa Doughty, Henry Curtis, Arthur Brtinnell, George Nawhinney and Lillia Tourtelott, all of Providence. The institution solicits contributions from the public. The particular brand of milk which caused the deaths of the infants bore the usual notice that it conformed to the pure food and drug act.

A number of requests for in formation in regard to fall spray ing and pruning reached Prof. 11. A. Surface, State Zoologist oi Pennsylvania, recently. The foi lowing reply to one of the letters received, will be of interest to o\\ ners of orchards every w here: "Replying to your letter asking if you must spray this fall foi scale insects, I beg to say that it is not necessary to spray in the fall, but if your trees are much infested, it is better to sprav both fall and spring. If my trees were not badly infested, I should spray only in the spring when the buds are swelling. 1 consider this the best time of the year to spray and of coure the boiled lime-sulphur wash either commercial or home made, is my choice of material. In regard to fall pruning, I can say that this is as good as spring pruning,the pruning being done it any time when the leaves are oil'. If you will prune your trees this fall, then you can spray them at any time during the fall, win ter or spring and have good re sults in killing the scale. Thor oughness of spraying is necessary and it will be easier for you to do a complete job after the trees are pruned than before. Don't Be a Snail. Did you ever notice how a snail draws himself back in his shell and keeps very quiet when he hears anything? You will probably say that snails cannot hear. Maybe not, but they know anyway. Some people are like snails; when they hear a noise like some news they keep quiet and don't tell the editor. Now who wants to be a snail'.' W lien you hear anything of interest to the public, tell it to us, and when you see it in print you can say to yourself: "I helped publish that paper. - ' Hand in items early.
