more and more difficult.

IS what Major Anderson intends to ar
range at the auditorium for the pur-
pose of raising money for the pipe

And the major is in dead earnest
about it. All the competitors. he de-

although whether a man wears Wf1is-
kers or not, will cut no figure. Further
than that he will be allowed to play
anything from Pagasaini to Old Father
Grimes There is little doubt, however
but that the programme will be made
up of numbers among which the fol-
lowing and more ike them will have
a place: Leather Breaches, Old Zip

A prize of $50 for the winner would
be about right, with a second prize of

we would have to send to Old England

FORSCHOOL INSPECTION
City Board of Health to lnau-
gurate New System.

Under the new ordinance governing
the health department Of the city, the
board of health will hold its first regu-
lar monthly meeting at the Office OF the
city physician this afternoon at
O'Clock
The meeting will adopt a regular or
der OF business, to be followed at all
meetings. 1t will provide for written
reports from the city physician, the
sanitary sergeant, the food inspector,
each of the sanitary policemen, and the
tive doctors who are members of the
board This is something which VIII be
entirely unique in the history OF To-
peka- It is very queer TO think OF
board of health actually being at the
head of the health department. and run
ming things to suit itself. 1t has always
been the city physician who has had
absolute power, though until Dr. StorrS'
time, the city physicians did not care to
wipe out the board of health so com
pleteIy as Storrs has done during his
term of Office
1t was decided to hold the meeting
this afternoon instead of tonight be-
cause of the necessity for making some
report to the council tonight of the fire
at the pest house last week, when
DESTROYED the stable and ambulance
The board will probably recommend
that a new stable be built, and new
decide to recommend that some i'm
provements be made to the pest house
itself
Another thing of Importance which
may be taken up this afternoon is the
plan which has been proposed by Dr. G
F. Menuiuger. chairman of the board,
for the creation of a system of inspec-
ton of school children in the public
schools Of the city
The plan is to secure volunteers from
among the physicians of the city To act
as an inspection board. Each physf-
clan will be placed in charge of one
school building. The physician viii be
expected TO call at that school building
every morning shortly after school
opens The rules Of the school viii be
that every teacher shall inspect the
children in her own room as they come
to their places, and if she sees any
sign of contagious disease shall imme-
diately send the child to the principals
room where the child shall be isolated
until the physician arrives. The physi-
clan shall examine the child and de-
eide whether the case is contagious If
it is decided to be contagious the doc
tor viii not prescribe remedies but
will simply send the child home
1t is thought that this method viii
result in much more effective work in
checking the spread of contagious dis
eases At present the responsibility for
sending children home is placed on the
principal, and it is natural that mis-
takes be made The tendency viii be,
it is thought. to cause the teachers TO
