VACCINATION OF PUPILS.
Patrons of Public Schools Advised Of
Laws Requirement,

Incident to the opening of the public
schools in the District Health Officer Wood
ward has issued the first call" for vacci-
nations. 1t has been his custom to remind
the board of education about two or three
weeks before the opening of the schools
every fall Of the importance Of having all
the pupils vaccinated and for 1t to see
that the parents Of the school children are
notified to this effect.
DR.. Woodward yesterday forwarded a
letter to Capt. Oyster, president of the
board of education. in which he called at
tention to the approaching time for the
opening of the schools and suggested that
some steps be taken by the board to &C
quaint the parents of school children with
this fact. He suggested that the necessity
of furnishing vaccination certificates be
publicly announced.
Every child attending the local public
schools must either have been successfully
vaccinatei or else have had smallpox. DR..
Woodward said the only method used by the
school officials in determining whether or
not the children have been vaccinated Is by
certificates from the physicians who vacci-
mated them. Those who have not been vac
cnated and want to attend school this fall
and who cannot afford to pay for the opera
ton can be vaccnated by the physicians to
the poor or at the public dispensaries.

REPUBLICAN FENCES o. K.
Sidney Bieber Back From Tour Of
Middle West.

Sidney Bieber, local treasurer of the re-
publican congressional committee, is back
in town from trip Of more than month
through the middle west. Mr.. Bieber spent
some little time in Illinois, Indiana, Ne
braska and other states, and told Star
reporter today that prosperity was wide
awake and on the move in that section;
that the recent acrobatic performances OF
the stock market had not pestered folks out
there very much and that all political line
riders report republican fences as being In
excellent condition.
Mr.. Beber went west partly for business
and partly for pleasure, but the prior
claims of these did not serve to keep him
from making mental notes of the general
and individual aspect of conditions political.
But he is not turning loose any conclusions
for publication, and when asked how the
friends of Uncle Joe Cannon were feeling
these days Just gr.nned."
