ANNEXATION HAS
SOME OPPOSITION
PETITION AGAINST PROPOSED
UNION NOT MEETING WITH
MUCH SUCCESS.

Efforts are being made by some
citizens OF Woodland Heights, Swans
boro, Forest Hill and Oak Grove to
stir up the residents of the four COM
munities against the proposed plan
of annexation with Richmond.
Two or more petitions are in cir
culation at present. but according to
some of the citizens approached by
the antt-annexationists they have
succeeded in getting only few sig
natures to the papers.
Despite the efforts that are being
made by the ants the citizens boost
ing the plan have not yet renewed
their fight.
From the large and enthusiastic
audience that attended the initial
meeting for the purpose of boosting
the proposed plan, and from what
have learned from other residents of
the four suburbs ] am fully con-
WINGED that the majority of the people
desire annexation. and | don't see
why we should worry" declared one
of the boosters yesterday afternoon.
1t is probable that ANOTHER meet
ing will be called before the COM
mittees from the city council and
board of aldermen begins an inves-
tigation.

Buffalo. n. Y. August 26.-Practical

the hygiene OF the home. The children
Of poor, ill-educated parents often are
tho intermediary through which the
simple goslsl of hygiene and disease
prevention reaches the parents. In the
Philippines, in many instances, it is
only because of the children that the
parents carry out the Instructions OF
the health officers"
Open-ar schools and open school
rooms was the genera topic Of the day,
