Power Of Piant..

Farmers are we'll acquainted with
the fact that the roots Of trees will

tender vegetables is equally surprising.
The one result which has perhaps
attracted the greatest attention is the
discovery that a weight of two and q
half tons can be lifted by the common
pumpkin in the course Of its develop

SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING.
Doctor Says Bubonic Plague Threat
ems the Country.

Washington, Sept 27-That the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the United
States are in danger of an infection
of the bubonic plague, was the serious
note of warning sounded Friday by
Dr. n. X. Foster of California, be-
fore the delegates in attendance upon
ths twenty-third annual meeting of the
conference of state and provincial
boards of health of North America.
He expressed the belief that such an
infection already may have taken
place The address of DR.. Foster, who
is president of the organization
startled the delegates.
4 firmly believe" said DR.. Foster.
that the United States will become
generally infected, not from Cali
fornia, but from ports having COM
munication by water. My object is TO
sound anote of warning, and to put you
upon your guard against an insiduous
and dangerous foe"
DR.. Foster traced the history OF the
bubonic plague from it's start in INDIA,
where, he said, upward of 6,000,0OO
people have died from it, I'VE have
the satisfaction" said the speaker, ''ot
believing that it can never attain such
severity in this country; not that
there is anything in our climate that
precludes it, or that Americans are
immune, but because of our better
modes of life, more sanitary houses
and greater freedom from vermin.
Declaring that if the infection has
not reached the eastern United States
DR.. Foster said there is no reason to
waste time in congratulation, for de-
spite the excellent work and close
guard kept by the marine hospital
service, there is no reason to believe
that the plague will follow other than
its usual course. He said no efforts
should be spared to guard against its
introduction and warned his hearers
that every city and town on the gulf
and Atlantic coasts should begin now
to destroy the rodents, which carry in
lection, and prepare for the invasion
threatened.
