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.—

WHEN CLAIM IS MADE
THAT “CHILD 18 UNFIT" |
In Exceptional Cases, Where Careful
or State |
Health Authorities Justifies Admis: |
Investigation By Local
sion to School, It le Authorized,
“After three carefully performed but
| unsuccessful attempts to vaccinate a
| ehild have failed, that child should not
| be debarred from school privileges, but
should be admitted. and the Depart. |
ment of Health has provided for this,”
said State Health Commissioner Bam- |
uel G Dixon in an Interview
nia.” continued Dr. Dixom, “called at- |
tention in the recent opinion it handed
down reaffirming the validity of the so-
called vaccination law of June 18. 1895,
to the hardship involved in the twelfth
section of that act when it is beyond
the power of children of school age to
be vaccinated, although they may not
previously have had smallpox nor pre
viously been vaccinated, and even re- |
peated attempts to perform the oper |
ation upon such children are without
effect and vaccination will not take.
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.”
