THE TREE DOCTOR. Mis Method of Treating a Trunk That Is Decaying. When a tree doctor treats a decayed tree he begins by cutting an aperture In the tree large enough to allow him to get at the inside and remove all the flecayed wood. This is essential to the success of the operation. When this work has been done the cavity is ready to be filled. The composition used in se of large fillings contains five parts sandf to one part of portland cement, cept for the outer part, where these beredipnts are used half and half, this as vating ~<belug several thick. To hold the cement in while it is hardening a stout tin zinc is employed, this being secured to the trunk of limb In a way to preserve the natural shape. The tin is put on in strips, being fastened with round steel nails having a broad head and a small shank. The strips are wide enough to lap over upon the sound wood, and the nails are placed from half an inch to an inch apart, acording to the strain imposed. The first strip of tin is put on at the lower part of the aperture and the ce- ment put in until it reaches nearly to the top of the tin. Then a second strip is put on, lapping over the other two or three inches, and the two nailed to- gether, Then more cement is used, and so on until the cavity is filled, the last strip of tin being bent down while the final application of cement is bel puddled {nto place and the cavity tirely filled, and then it is straightened up and nailed in place. In case of extra large cavities large sheets of tin or sheet iron are nailed on the outside to prevent the tin from bulging out until the cement has hardened, when they can be removed. The smaller the cavity the larger are the strips of tin bow- r'my oldte ka employed, as the strain is proportion- | ately less. In twenty-four hours’ time the cement will have hardened com- | pletely, and the tin may all be removed. This remedy is applied successfully to fruit trees as well as shade trees.— New York Tribune.

Dr. Lytle Buys a Property Last evening Auctioneer Charles H. Zeller sold for H. C. and Clar- ence Schock and M. C. Bowman, a property on East Main street fo Dr. S. P. Lytle for $2,000.

In such cases, as the court pointed out, the physician cannot certify that | such child has been successfully vac | cinated so as to meet the requirement of admission to school. The court's de | cision suggested the possibility of the { oH health authorities, state or local, mak- ing a regulation setting forth the con- | ditions under which a child upon whom vaccination will not take, may be per- mitted to go to school. The court also suggests that the health authorities would have to consider whether such | a regulation would be undesirable as affording opportunity for the evasion of the statute. “The Department of Health,” con- tinued Health Commissioner Dixon, “has taken this tendency to evade the law into consideration, as it was obliged to, and yet we have endeav- ored to see that thmse children who could not be vaccinated should be ad- mitted to school. Qur method of ac- complishing this from the first has “When the cases that we received of a borough or city having a Board of Health of its own, we suggested that after two unsuccessful attempts to vae- cinate a child, the third attempt be made by or in the presence of the physician of the Board of Health. If this attempt failed, then the physician of the board, acting in his official eca- pacity, should authorize the admission of the child. “In the rural districts, where there are no Boards of Health to pass upon such cases, I have always asked that after three unsuccessful attempts to vaccinate a child have been made, the name of the child and the physician ade the attempts be referred im- ely to the State Department of Palth. The cases have then been at once investigated by our County Medi- cal Inspectors or some one deputized by them, so that the child might not unjustly be debarred from school privi- leges. These methods of dealing with the situation have been in conformity with the Supreme Court's suggestion that the health authorities assume the responsibility of authorizing the ad- mission to school of children upon whom, after a reasonable number of attempts, vaccination does not take. “Taking advantage of the spirit of this part of the Supreme Court’s opin- fon, we have also endeavored to deal with the cases of children where there was reason to believe that the child's physical condition did not make vae- cination at the present time advisable. The Attorney General of the State had given an opinion that a teacher was not authorized to accept a certificate from a physician stating that the child was not in a physical condition to be vaccinated. It is reasonable to be- lieve, however, that although the sim- ple giving of such a certificate by the family physician would not be suffi cient, the spirit of the Supreme Court's opinion would permit the recognized health authorities throughout the state, after careful investigation, to pass upon such cases. “Therefore when such cases are now brought to the attention of our depart- ment, we have suggested that inside of Health, through its physician, de- cide whether the child is well enough to attend school and yet not in a fit condition to be vaccinated. In the dis- tricts where there are no Boards of Health we are having such cases in- vestigated and passed upon by our “It will thus be seen,” concluded Dr. Pixon, “that the State Department of Health 1s doing everything possible te prevent any child from being unjustly If the par- ent or guardian, however, refuses to permit a child to be vaccinated simply through prejudice. the health authori- ties certainly have no power to inter fere with the operation of the law. In such cases we have done everything by education, so that the innocent child might not be made to suffer be cause the parent desired to leave fit exposed to the ravages of smallpox | rather than undergo vaccination, which | the Legislature of Pennsylvania, in the exercise of its police power, has made one of th» requisites of admission te school.” Lancaster tQ Celebrate Bicentennial The two hundredth anniversary of the seitlement of Lancaster county by ti aGerman Swiss pion- eers in 170) fil be celebrated on uary 5 Sal “The Supreme Court of Pennsylva: | x oxy 4 Ob 13% 24 $20 os yxy o 8 308 NOFA TOILE ur Aim i 0 make Our Store Your Store; To se grade carry of de pendable, seasonable merchandise, so you OLOLOL a large assortment % 20 Ne have a large choice; To serve you To improve all departments of 0, can quickly; sold at Se, now our store pleasure and a profit for you; fully state facts in our advertising, to over-estimate a value.
