TREE SURGERY.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

A group of interested spectators upon
a city square are eagerly watching q
man who is doing something" to q
tree. What the something" is no one
seems to know but the man himself. He
a bucket of tar and several brushes. The
other has rough box and paddle for
mixing small quantities of cement The
man has been observed working at that
tree at intervals for several days. Now
he is finishing his work. A number of
branches have been cut off. Now the
wounds are being coated well with the
tar, so that they will not admit mois-
ture and cause the tree to decay. At
one side of the trunk is a good-sized
hole. A squirrel used to live in it and
hide nuts there. The man cleans out
the nut shells, and with sharp tools
chisels out all the decayed fiber down to
the clean white wood. Now he is going
to fill that hole with cement. After a
few years. if he does his work we'll, the
bark will grow over that filling so that
there will hardly be scar upon the
trunk of the tree to indicate that there
once was a great rotten place that would
soon have caused it to die.
The man who does this wonderful work
is called a tree surgeon, and sometimes a
tree dentist. because he puts filings in
trees in just the same way that dentist
puts filling in a tooth. Men, women and
children are interested in his work. be-
times they have known and loved for
years. There We're never so many tree
doctors at work In this country as are
engaged this summer, because the peo-
pie In every state are becoming more
interested In saving their trees.

CARING FOR MILK
TO KEEP IT PURE
Instructions'Issued by Experts
of Department of
Agriculture.

Simple and yet scientific rules for the
care and handling Of milk, which. if fol-
| lowed. will greatly help to reduce the
prevalence of illness of children and
I adults which occur when unclean milk is
used as food, are set forth in statement
issued today by the Department Of Agri-
culture through its dairy division. The
statement tells of the way in which mill
becomes contaminated, how to handle
bulk milk delivered at the home. and
how to keep milk where ice is scarce.
No matter how carefully milk is
handled between the farm and the home
or in how pure state it is delivered a,

come an undesirable food If carelessly

Immediately in the refrigerator provide
on the porch a box containing a lump
Of ice. In planning house, arrange to
have the refrigerator set in the wall
with an opening on the outside 1t is
always possible to provide locks for
these boxes or refrigerator doors and
supply the milkman with one KEY The
interior Of the food compartment
should be wiped every day with a clean
cloth, and thoroughly scalded as often
as once a week. and under no circum-
stances should the drain-pipe of an Ice
box be connected with a sewer.
THE milk should be kept in the orig
inal bottle, and the bottle left in the
refrigerator until needed. Before use
the neck of the bottle and the cap
should be washed and then carefully
wiped with q clean cloth before the
cap is removed. Remove the cap with
a sharp pointed instrument, SO as not
to push the cap down into the milk.
Once a bottle is opened it should be
kept covered, both to keep out dirt and
bacteria and to prevent absorption of
undesirable odors. The original cap
should not be replaced. Instead. place
an inverted cup or tumbler on the top
of the bottle The milk should be used
used milk should not be returned to
the bottle after having been poured
into another vessel. Do not let milk
stand in warm room on the table
any longer than is necessary. Do not
place milk in refrigerator compart-
ment with onions or other food having
strong odor.

Wash the Milk Bottles.

Before returning the bottles to the
milkmen wash them first in cold water
and then in warm water. Do not use
milk bottles for holding substances other
than. milk. Never take milk bottles into

can be spread through milk bottle re-

other home This is a civic duty that
every one owes to his neighbors. If there
is g case of typhoid fever, or other

house, the fairest thing to do for ones
neighbor is to provide ones own clean

vented it splitting apart. as several
similar trees in the same town had
done. He cleaned out rotten places
and filled up cavities with cement. He
cut off branches and unwieldy limbs.
For three weeks he attended to the
trees Of that town, visiting each daily
as a physician does his patients. When
all were in good order he presented a
bill for $500, which the town was glad
to pay.

Mr.. Towers Chandler was pressing
his evening suit in his hall bedroom.
One iron was heating on small gas
stove; the other was being pushed
vigorously back and forth to make
the desirable crease that would be
seen later on extending in straight
lines from Mr.. Chambers patent
leather shoes to the edge of his low
cut vest. So much of the hero's
toilet may be intrusted to our con-
fdence. Our next view of him shall

ance the typical New York young
clubman setting out, slightly bored,
to inaugurate the pleasures of the
evening.
Chambers honorarium was $18
per week. He was employed by an
architect. He was twnety-two; con-
sidered architecture to be truly an
art; and honestly believed though
he would not have dared to admit it
in New York-that the Flatiron
Building was inferior in design to
the great cathedral in Milan.
Out of each weeks earnings
Chandler set aside 81. At the end of
each ten weeks with the extra CAPT
tai thus accumulated, he purchased
one gentleman's evening from the
bargain counter of stingy old Father
Time. He arrayed himself in the
regalia of millionaires and presi-
dents; he took himself to the quarter
where life is brightest and showiest,
and there dined with taste and lux
ury. With ten dollars a man may,
for few hours, play the wealthy
