State Board of Health Makes a New
Rule.

The state board of health held a
meeting here Wednesday and adopted
a rule requiring undertakes who en-
balm bodies of those dead from con-
tagious diseases, and ship such bodies
out of the state to hold license from
the board President Alexander will
appoint five Of the leading undertakers
OF the state to act as an examining
board and report on licenses.

rule can be made effective. According
to the law governing the state board of
health, that body has the power to
make rules for the sanitary welfare of
the state. The rule was adopted under
the advice of the attorney general, and
If it is questioned the matter will be
settled by the courts.
DIR. w. d. Swan, secretary of the
board, made his quarterly report I'm
less a special meeting is called to con-
slider the licensing of undertakers, the
board will not meet again until March.

BANANAS
But Oranges Are Plentiful In the
New York Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Commission
men and fruit dealers report scarcity
of bananas for the holiday trade almost
without precedent. The death of the
market is attributed to the Jamaica
hurricane of last month, which was
followed by almost continuous rain and
wind storms which gave the youIg
trees no opportunity to develop.
OF forty steamers which are usually
engaged in the banana trade at this
season of the year, all but twelve or fif-
teen have been taken out of the trade
because of their inability to secure
cargoes of the fruit at West Indian and
gulf ports.
Oranges on the other hand are re-
ported as unusually plentiful and of the
best quality.

PLYMOUTH FOLK
Celebrating the Landing OF the
pliqrim Fathers

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Dec. 22.-Ply-

nusl holiday festivities in celebration
of the double anniversary of the
founding of the town and of the or
gauizstion of the famous Standish
Guards, one of the oldest military
bodies 10 the United States.
The celebr alton Is not in strict ac-
cordance with the results of modern
historical research. inasmuch as it is
now declared that the landing of the
Pilgrims occurred On December 81 in
stead of one day later as was general
ly supposed up to a comparatively re-
cent date.
The historical old tom of Plymouth
has observed the 22d during more than
two and half centuries, and as the
custom is as firmly i'm bedded ss.is the
doubtful If December 81 will ever be
observed as for efathers' day in this
neck o. woods.
