This provides for the reporting to the health officer Of all cases of tuberculosis the destruction, under the supervision of the proper offi- cial of all articles belonging to tuber- cular patient. that might scatter the bacilli and the enforcement Of these pro- visions.
 The music of the Bessemer orchestra and stereopticon views dealing with the subject under discussion were special fea- lures of the evening.

Bran- don as a committee to effect a perma- nent organizatio and name a date for another meeting pr. J. c.

Public Spraying DemOnStra-
lions to Be Held

The success attending the conducting
of spraying and plNning demonstrations
in different parts of the state by the
State Horticultural Department of the
Agricultural College and the Horticul-
tural Department of the Experiment
Station during the early spring has
been unprecedented.
Plans are now being made for holding
spraying demonstrations for the control
of the coddling moth and plum curculio.
II is hoped to be able to hold them in
each county of the state The officers
of the department firmly believe in such
demonstration work and it has shown
to be the best means Of disseminating.
The people of community are invited
to attend a spraying demonstration and
also to see the results of the treatment
in the fall.
Every one who has apple trees should
spray them Just as the blossoms fall
with a solution made by combining two
pounds of arsenate of lead and one and
one quarter gallons of concentrated lime
sulphur TO fifty gallons Of water. The
Psychologists are recommending lime
sulphur as fungicide in preference to
the Bordeaux mixture for the first
spraying, at least.
All peach trees should be sprayed
with arsenate of lead two pounds. and
slack lime three pounds, to fifty gallons
of water, just as the calyces or shucks
are falling oil the tiny fruit. This &C.
ours about ten days after the blossoms
fall. This spraying will aid in prevent
ing injury from the plum curcuho
through whose punctures brown rot and
other deases enter. causing the fruit
to rot later on.
These treatments applied at the pro-
per time which will now be shortly
throughout the state. are exceedingly
important. 4. Il; 81 MONS,

in race riot at Laurel, DEL. several
weeks ago. is reported dangerously i'll
at the Peninsula General Hospital, Sails
bury. He was taken to the hospital by
his father to undergo an operation for
appendicitis a week before the parent
met his death.
When Hudson was shot he was rushed
to the same hospital in a futile effort to
save his life. The son, who was just
recovering from the effects Of the oper-
alton, saw his father on stretcher. The
shock almost killed him. The news of
the death of the father was kept from
the son for some time. When he learned
the truth, however. he suffered re-
lapse and typhoid fever developed. His
recovery is reported unlikely.
