Fruit Trees Planted.

More than 100000 fruit trees,
principally apple, have been planted
In Washington, Oregon, and Idaho
since the beginning of the year, and
IL is estimated that when these come
into bearing in 1912 the apple crops
of the three states will amount to
60,00O0,000 bushels, equaling the
wheat yield Of 1908. One and a half
million trees were set out in eastern
Washington and Oregon last year,
and as many more will be planted
this year il the nurseries can supply
the demand.

Worcester, Mass, has under con-

ling. One Of the features of It is
that II a man thinks he can: get
along without making alleged music
he can indulge himself by taking out
4 license. The Boston Journal, jeer.
ting at the proposed enactment, says
that a tax for sidewalk conversation
will be the next on the list. It also
suggests a fine for all persons who
do not wear rubber heels.

ROME AS A HEALTH RESORT.
Lies Between Sea and Mountains
Has Wiped Out Roman Fever.


Two important factors are almost
always lost sight of in looking at
Rome from a hygienic and climatic
point of view, writes the Roman cor
respondent Of the Medical Record.
These are the sea and the mountains.
Rome is really a seaport, although
the Tiber is not freely navigable to
all vessels. The distance to the mouth
of the river is a short fifteen miles,
while an air line from the city to
the sea reduces the distance greatly.
About the same distance on the
other sides are the Sabine Hills, Mt
Soracte, the. Alban Hills. and further
north the spurs of the Apennies, the
city itself being about 200 feet above
sea level. There is not better wat
tered city in the world and few as
well watered, with it's excellent drink
ing water and copious fountains in
every piazza or open space. Nor is
there a city that affords purer air,
as might be expected from the topo-
graphical situation.
The winter climate is cold enough
to make indoor fires comfortable. and
We always have a stretch Of about
six weeks of unbroken cloudless wea-
Their in December and January-just
crisp enough to be invigOrating. The
temperature OF the summer months
averages about IS degrees. For bron-
chial affections in all their forms and
neurasthenia a winter in Rome Is
usually very beneficial. and you can
be assured of being cooler all through
the summer than in either New York
or Boston.
The municipality evidently favors
open air, whether for prophylaxis or
treatment, and realizing how many
cases of incipient phthisis or those
predispOsed to it may be thus cured
or benefited has established hospices
in the hills for the climate treatment
and recreation of children during the
summer months. These hospices are
entirely sratuitous, the only requisites
for admission being that the child
must be between I and IL years of
age and must have an attestation OF
poverty and physicians certificate
of vaccination.
Roman fever, so called, no longer
exists. 1t was really a malarial fe-
yer with every now and then ma
lignant case Since the Campagna
has been drained and cultivated, and
old portions of the city where fevers
of this nature were of more frequent
occurrence have been demolished and
new buildings with modern improve
ments put up, no one ever hears OF
Roman fever.
To find malaria you must go fur
Their nowadays to the district known
as the Agro Romano, which is to the
south of the Alban Hills and toward
the sea, where are the famous and
deadly Pontine marshes. Even there,
by means of draining the marshes
and planting eucalyptus trees, the
percentage of cases of malarial fever
among the inhabitants is rapidly and
constantly diminishing.
1t is noticeable that employees Of
the customs, railway employees, and
others who live in these districts and
who have the doors and windows of
their cabins closely screened with
very fine wire gauze, through which
it is impossiblefor mosquitoes to pass
remain exempt from malarial fever
which is. however. prevalent among
those who have not their doors and
windows thus protected.
