20 Automobile Tours from
Woodstock.

The Woodstock Inn is just issuing
a new booklet Of automobile tours
from Woodstock which will pe ol
much interest to motorists. Twenty
nine separate trips are outlined
varying i'll length from 25 to l0C
miles, Burlington being the farthesi
point reached. There are two maps
one showing the main roads leading
TO Woodstock, and the other show
ing the Connecticut river and the
relation of the principal towns to
Woodstock.
There are few towns from which
rs many attractive tours over good
roads can be made as from Wood
stock. In the past few years there
has been remarkable improvement in
the highways here as in other parts
Of New England and this guide is
therefore of very practical use to the
pleasure seeker.

In dentistry more than any other

Is clearly beyond that of the Euro
pean. This is so generally admitted
that many European dentists go to
America for regular or postgraduate
course and proudly display an Amer
lean diploma.
Scant courtesy is paid the Ameri-
can doctor in Europe, and even dis
tinguished physicians from that coun-
try might find it difficult to obtain
permission to practice in Europe. The
American dentist. however. Is sure of
q chance to make good, and they are
eagerly sought as tenants of office
buildings.
The pioneers of these expatriate
dentists were Doctor Sylvester Of De-
troit, who was the professional attend
ant of Emperor William, as well as
his personal friend, and Doctor Evans,
who aided his royal patroness, EN-.
press Eugenie, to escape after the
downfall of Napoleon III.

Always AFFLICTED With yellow Fever.
Guayaquil 10 one of the most I'M
portant ports on the western coast
OF South America. 1t has the only
first class harbor in Ecuador. and be-
cause of this lack of competition the
city refuses to worry about its sani-
tary condition.
According to the report of CHIEF
Quarantine officer J, c. Perry, U. 8.
p. II. and NJ. H. s., Guayaquil is al
ways afflicted with yellow fever.
Even in the dry season, when the
stegomyia yellow fever) mosquitoes
are fewest, the disease is to be found
in some parts of the city. This Is due
to a great extent to the fact that
only three streets are satisfactorily
paved, and many depressions exist
for the formation of pools, providing
breeding places for the mosquitoes.
Half of the city is forced TO depend
upon accumulated rain water for Its
water supply, while the other half
housing some 10000 persons, Is fed
by an 11-inch main from Bucay. to-
tally inadequate to carry enough wa
ter for the needs of the Inhabitants
In addition to this, the barrels and
tanks used for the collection of patn
water are unscreened and form excel.
lent breeding places for the death

Smallpox Is also prevalent In Quay

It's spread, 1t marches on practically

little disinfection is attempted and
general vaccination has never been
tried.
'Leprosy,' according to Doctor
Parker's 1911 report. 'is frequently
seen about the streets of the city.
Five cases OF this disease are always
reported on the bills Of health for
the information of health officers. but
the actual number of cases is un-
known and no attempt at segregation
is made"
But it is not because of her yellow
fever smallpox or leprosy that the
United States fears Guayaquil and is
considering taking steps to close the
port--it is because OF the bubonic
plague, which stalks unhampered
through her streets.
Brought into Ecuador by Asiatic
ships in 1907, the dreaded scourge OF
the Orient spread rapidly through the
crowded, dirty city until people died
by the hundreds. DIR. B. ]. Lloyd, the
American health officer then sta

the government treasury to fight the

smallpox, reduced the deaths from
yellow fever to minimum and had
begun to make inroads upon the
