MEDICAL CORPS

OF the Army aud Navy = Recon-
mendatIons orsurgoon General.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 22.-The
strongest recommendation In the an
nual report Of Surgeon General Van
Reypen, just made public is that relat-
ing to an increase of the medical corps
OF the navy, He points out that while
there has been a steady increase in the
enlisted force Of the navy for the past
two years and while the marine corps
has been swelled by the addition OF
4 600 men. there has been no suitable
provision made for a corresponding IN
crease In the medical corps, when "
charged with the care Of the health OF
THESE men. Every surgeon VINO Is not
sick is said to be on duty and the ae-
partment has been unable TO supply
surgeons for needed recruiting ana otn'
er duties. Therefore, the surgeon-gen
eraf recommends that the corps PC IN
creased FIVE surgeons and twenty as
sistnnt surgeons and that volunteer
SURGEONS who served in the war and
are now In service be transferred to the
regular rolls and the age limitation re,
moved in their cases. There are 183 OF
these men and in some cases they are
over thirty years old. 1t Is also ear.
nestly urged that the naval assistant
surgeons be placed on an equality with
those Of the army in pay and rank.
At present the army can get all OF the
medical service II needs, while the
navy can get scarcely any surgeons to
serve. There are now four vacancies In
the rank Of assistant surgeon and there
viii be eight more during the year and
the hope Is expressed that the corps will
not be allowed to die out from lack OF
recruits, which must follow unless the
Inducements are equal to those offered
in the army at least. The surgeon.
general calls attention to the fact that
Of the eighty-four casualties during the
war with Spain, only seventeen have
resulted In pension applications so far,
a most noteworthy fact in view Of the
report that eighteen Of the casualties
resulted fatally. In concluding the re-
port, special attention Is invited to the
excellent sanitary conditions existing
in the navy and especially In the Ash
attic squadron during the past year.
Early precautions were taken to pre-
vent as far as possible the III effects
resulting from necessary climatic expo
sure, and to give the best care and at
tention to the sick. The results have
proved their efficacy and the sick re-
ports from the vessels in the Philip
pines indicate high standard Of ply
steal efficiency In the squadron.

The CaterpilIars.

hC SdlCI PlNolos
The caterpillars are rapidly enveloping
themselves in soft silk-like coatings of the
cocoon form and are found in their hid
ing-places everywhere. These should all
be searched out and destroyed. The
fight Of this cocoon period should be as
determined as that we have waged
against the caterpill;...
After two or three weeks out of each
well-preserved cocoon will come moth.
miller of brownish-yellow or nankin
color; the hind-wings, except at base,
are light rusty brown, and on the fore
wings are two oblique, rust-brown
nearly parallel lines. The wings expand
from one inch and quarter to one inch
and three quarters. These moth-milers
will be much on the wing in the evening.
Exposed lights specially attract them.
1t may inspire a worthy zeal for their
destruction to know that leach female
moth is capable of producing from $50
to 500 eggs for the next years crop Of
caterpilars.' During the summer, if not
destroyed, they will resort to the trees
and deposit their eggs. The rallying Of
all our forces for the destruction of these
moths belongs to the third stage of the
campaign. The eggs of the moth-millers
are placed far out toward the ends of the
tree branches, forming a wide kind of
ring or bracelet, in the form OF short CYL
inders standing on their ends close to-
gether and covered with a thick coat of
brownish waterproof varnish. The
caterpillars come forth the latter part of
April or the beginning of May. Here
we come to the eliminating period in the
campaign. These bands or cases of eggs
are the results above all else to be
guarded against.
In Brattleboro and Claremont the vii
lage authorities are paying the children
a few cents quart for destroying these
cocoons. This is good suggestion for
our village trustees to consider.

ought 10 have had it twenty years ago.
Before the street was fenced up it gave
borses quite scare, but the trustees do
not propose to keep the street open
where the roller is being used. The old
roller, which was found too light for the
work, has been returned.

Saturdays Meetings.

The adjourned annual village meeting
will be held at the Town Hall next Sat-
urday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The only
business that can be transacted at this
meeting will be to raise money on the

expenses for the present year.
The adjourned town meeting will be
held Immediately after this meeting to
hear the report of the special committee
on the cost of the Summerville bridge
and transact any other business that
the voters see fit. There ought to be a
large attendance at both of these meet
ings, and there probably will be.
