WINooSKPS SMALLPOX.
Total of 4s Cases Reported, Two New
Cases Yesterday.

burlington, May 6.--Up to last even
ing. no new cases OF smallpox had been
reported to the Burlington health ON
cials. and the wholesale vaccination oil
school children that is now under way
was believed to have made 1T unlikely
that the disease will gain foothold
here. About 800 pupils have been vac
cinated so far and the measure VIII be
extended to the entire city school sys-
TEN. including the high and grammar
schools, in which pupils unable to SHOW
the required evidence OF vaccination VIII
be temporarily excluded from attend
ance.
The Winooski health authorities had
records up to last night Of a total OF 43
cases in that suburb. Two new cases
were found yesterday and three on sun
day Some 900 or 900 vaccinations
have been made there, it is believed
To-day quarantine will be raised Tor the
first time from a few of the houses ~
Winooski, and thorough fumigations VIII
be made.
"If we had 43 cases of smallpox IN
burlington" said local health official
last evening "you may rest assured that
Ne would close the theatres and moving

The three cases in this city are nearly
ready for lifting quarantine, but Dr

A CALL TO ARMS
AGAINST THE WORMS
Tent Caterpillars Should Be Destroyed
at Once-Work for the Boy
Scouts.

Tent caterpilars have appeared this
year stronger than ever and are spread
ing destruction among many kinds OF
trees that carry leaves. In the past
few days Of warm weather they have
become such an ugly feature they are
causing concern and annoyance Whd
cherry trees and apple trees never before
were so plastered with nests as they
are this year. In nearly every crotch
there is nest with hundreds and thons-
ands OF little caterpillars which eat the
buds and young leaves and almost don'
BILE their own size in a day. In a few
davs they will have increased and spread
out so that they cannot be destroyed.
The attacks on them must be made
early in the morning or late in the even
ing. when they are in their nests, Tor
in the middle of the day they are spread
out all over the branches and nothing
will be accomplished by the destruction
OF their nests then.
How to destroy them is outlined by
one forester as follows: They are large
ly found on wild cherry and neglected
apple trees. If every neighborhood will
organize voluntary gang, many OF
these tents could be destroyed at once.
The arve or caterpillars, leave their
tents about O'Clock in the morning
and return to camp about o'clock in
the afternoon hence they may be de-
stroved BY removing tent and all early
or late in the day. When the nests
are still small, they are easily removed
by hand. Put on some old gloves and
tackle them, crushing them on the
ground. Some use burning torches, but
this Injuries the trees more or less. The
nests high up can be reached by long
pole with swab on the end Of it.
Spraying with arsenical poisons will also
destroy them, but the former methods
are quick and effective. With every
davis delay, however, the larve get larg-
er and eat more vegetation, hence the
earlier, even this afternoon, tie bet
ter.
Here is a call to the boy scouts, and
even to brigade of our leisure grand
fathers. and in fact everybody, to per-
form some en- tetive public service; but
next week will be too late for full ef-
fectiveness."
