PEOPLES FORUM
(Communicated.)


 At the last meeting of the Bridge port Medical Association one of the members entertained the gathering by describing an intensely interesting case in his practice. It was that of a. child, nine years old, who had developed an abscess and diseases of the bone In her arm as the result of an injury. The child had fallen down stairs and the diseased condition had developed! This is not an uncommon result, for abscesses and even cancers are found to have their origin in some injury like this. This child had had a long siege of fever and of failing strength so that her life was despaired of, but after three years of watehful care and treatment she had made perfect re- covery and the arm had grown to be as strong as if nothing had ever hap pened to it. The case was completely illustrated both by the clinical notes of the physician which were read, but also by X-ray views of the arm, which were shown and also by the patient herself who was present and entered into the spirit of the occasion.
 In the narration of the history of the case a fact was brought out which proved to be of peculiar interest to the medical men. Because it was deVel- oped that this child was ene which tionists,'' so-called, to prove their al- legged terrible results. One of the most rabid of these persons, who is always out looking for game" learn ed of this condition in the left arm Of this child and, blinded by his zeal in his cause and therefore, not dfstin- gushing the difference between a post hoo and a propter hoe, had taken 1t upon himself to beg the question, to diagnose the case according to his own desire and to claim it as a glaring ex- hibition of the terrible results of vac cination. It happened, indeed. that the child had been vaccinated some weeks before but the result showed that she was not susceptible to 1nocu- lation. The vaccination did not take. Yet still. he consistently claimed her as his own and, visiting the family without any invitation did brow beat the mother and tried, but unsuccess- fully, to convince her and make her say that all this trouble was the result of the vaccination.
 We make this case public to show in some way the methods of the SO called "anti-yaccinationists For the terrible tales of disease and even death which they declare are the results Of vaccination commonly have no more foundation in fact than this one has. We are aware of another similar case which we can publish.
 Only by such distortion of facts, such perversion of argument CD can these alleged bad results be gotten, and we take this opportunity, which happened to fall in our way, of mak- ing it public We feel this to be our duty.

Midshipman Dropped
 Because of Inaptitude

Annapolis. Md. Sept. 22.-'Tnapti- tude'' has cut short the naval career of another midshipman on the recom- mendation of Supt. Bowyer of the Academy. Howard Richardson Ecc1es- ton, a member of the first-class at the Academy. upon the request of the Navy Department has rendered his resignation. and it is announced that the resignation will be accepted.
 As an insight into the meaning of the charge of inaptitude it cain be said that the report of the flag officer of the practice squadron, on one of the midshipmen who had been dropped, predicted that this man would, if he remained in the service. probably cost the Government thousands of dollars through running some ship on the rocks" F

BORDEAUX MIXTURE-.HOW
TO MAKE AND APPLY IT



1t is not the object of this article
TO tell just what bordeaux mixture is
or to give in any detail the history
OF this fungicide which has proven
SO effective in the control of dis
eases which affect many cultivated
plants. As everyone knows. bor-
deaux is made by mixing definite
proportions of bluestone or sulphate
OF copper and slaked lime in a solu-
tion OF water. However, the mixing
Oh these two chemical compounds
does not form a mixture but a new
or different chemical compound
since the bluestone and slaked lime
enter into chemical combination; 1t
VIII, therefore, be easily seen that
when bluestone and lime in solution
are poured together in definite pro-
portions the mixture no longer con-
tains bluestone or lime as such The
name bordeaux is, therefore, a mis-
nomer, since it is not a mixture but a
compound formed by two other
chemical compounds.
Standard bordeaux mixture. other
wise known as the U. S. government
formula, consists of pounds of
bluestone, 4 pounds of lime, and so
gallons of water and is generally
known as the $3.50 formula. How
ever, standard bordeaux mixture is
frequently modified to meet certain
requirements, and we have the s.
900 formula, the ALSO formula
and the $3.50 formula. The first
figure in each formula indicates the
number of pounds of bluestone, the
second figure the number of pounds
of lime, and the last the quantity
of water in gallons.
1t is very desirable that good
bluestone be used; much of the blue
stone which comes from the smelters
contains large percentage of i'm
purities, principally sulphate Of
lime, and does not make good bor-
deauX. What is commonly known as
Eastern bluestone, while not chemi-
cally pure, does not contain impuri-
ties in sufficient quantity to be harm
full. Equal care should be taken in
the selection of the lime which
should be well burned. Magnesium
lime should never be used If good
calcium lime can be obtained. If the
latter cannot be obtained, some
what greater amount of the former

Method of Preparing Bordeaux
for Large Operations.

In large operations stock solutions
should always be used as the time
required to dissolve the material Is
saved. These can be prepared Of
both the copper sulphate and the
lime, and may be made by dissolving
each in water at the rate of one
pound per gallon. When the stock
solutions are at hand it is only neces-
sary to measure off the required
quantity of each and dilute with
water before mixing. In preparing
stock solution of copper sulphate,
5O-gallon barrel may be filled
three-fourths full of water, then put
so pounds of bluestone in gunny
sack and suspend 1t in the water so
that the bluestone is just submerged.

Method Of Making bordeaux In
Small Quantities.

Small Quantities.
Where it is desired to make up
only a few gallons of bordeaux, the
best method is to secure two half
barrels which will hold, approximate
ly, 20 gallons each. First dissolve
the bluestone in one Of the half bar
rels by suspending 1t in a gunny sack.
Never put the bluestone into the bot
tom OF the half barrel as 1t will not
dissolve In that way. II suspended in
the sack, solution should take place
in very short time. Where a stock
solution is not desired, the half bar
rel may be filled to 25 gallons, which
is equal to half the quantity OF water
used in the formula. Slake the lime
IN the other half barrel, being care
iul not to use too much water in
shaking 1t. After the lime is slaked
fill the half barrel up to 25 gallons.
If the half barrels containing the
diluted bluestone and lime are placed
on an elevated platform which is
somewhat higher than the spray bar
rel, the two solutions may be run
simultaneously into 1t. This can be
easily accomplished by providing the
two half barrels with common mo-
lasses gates or short pieces of pipe
provided with tight fitting plugs. 1t
will probably be necessary to use a
wooden trough to carry the mixture
into the spray barrel. A brass wire
screen, with twenty meshes to the
inch, should be placed over the open
ing into the spray barrel so as to
prevent large particles of unslaked
lime from entering the barrel and
which would tend to clog the spray
nozzle.

Takes 500 Years to Play Even.

In reading the news items of our pa
pers it is astonishing to see how many
fires occur to property on which no
insurance is carried. It seems to be
trait Of human nature for each indi-
vidual to think that he is so careful
as to be in no danger of fire. At the
present low cost of insurance made
by the Northwestern Mutual Fire AS
ISOLATION of Seattle it would require
five hundred years for the insurance
cost to equal one single total loss on
the best class of dwellings and con-
tents In other words a man would
have to be lucky enough not to sus-
tain a loss for five hundred years
merely to play even. The man who
realizes this will surely not go without
insurance for another twenty-four
hours.
