1t is said that at its meeting tomorrow
night the Board of Health will give con-
siderable attention to the consideration
of the ordinance relating to the vaccina-
tion of children who wish to attend the
public schools. 1t is believed by some
that the School Board has been a little
too liberal in the construction of the Or
dinance, and has opened a loop-hole by
which too many may evade the intention
of the law. The ordinance provides that
certificate of vaccination within seven
years shall be required, but the superin-
tendent of the schools has instructed the
teachers that vaccination mark, ire
spective of it's age, shall be deemed a
sufficient certificate, Some of the mem
bers of the Board of Health do not concur
in this opinion and it is said that this is
one of the points upon which one of the
discussions will hinge 1t is claimed that
if there is any virtue in vaccination it
should be performed at least every seven
years,

other Matters of Interest.

There is considerable activity among
the members of Washington Camp, No
112, p. o. S. of A., owing to the approach
ing celebration of the twenty-ffth ami
versary of the organization. This cele-
bration will be the red letter occasion of
the camps history and will no doubt
bring into reunion many people who are
now prominent in town and cities in other
parts of the country and who at one time
were well known and prominent residents
OF this place. During its existence of a
quarter of a century the old camp has
been the scene of many pleasant associa-
tions and some of the names upon its books
are frequently seen recorded in connec-
tion with notable political and CONNER
cisl events in all parts of the United
States. Among its members and ex-
members are men who have taken the
lessons taught in the camp room
as one of their guides in life and have
steadily climb bed the ladder of fame and
fortune, until to-day they shine as lights
among their fellow men. But in all their
prosperity and prominence they never fail
to remember the scenes of their early
happiness and whenever the old camp has
an anniversary the mails always bring in
scores of letters from her graduates in all
parts of the country. Though very old,
and having had many ups and downs in
her life the camp is still as vigorous as
ever. She has healthy treasury, large
and active membership, and takes in new
members at almost every meeting. The
committee which has charge of the
arrangements for the approaching cele-
bration is composed of Messrs. S. L.
| Brown, James r. Lewis, p. H. Gable,
Joseph Lehmler, j. S. Williams and
