indication of going into extra innings
until the last fatal muff by Swiek.
Penner struck out six Claydiggers, hav-
ing excellent control. He walked but
one man and that through, instructions
of Boyle. His wild heave which gave
Bay base, was the only time he ap-
peared, for the moment, to lose con

was slightly ragged for keokuk at

THE HEALTH OFFICERS SCHOOL.

Vermont shines in many a field, but
in no direction is her leadership SO thor
oughly and so widely recognized as In
connection with the promotion of the
public health. The pioneer work of the
Green Mountain state in the establishing
of a state laboratory OF hygiene and in
the instituting Of state health Off
GERS school has been commended in no
uncertain way by various speakers at
the health officers school in burlington.
which closes this morning
This tendency of Vermont to keep
abreast of the times is we'll Illustrated
by the clinics being held in Vermont for
the investigation of infantile paralysis,
and the adoption Of measures to prevent
the spread thereof
| No matter what sort of disease becomes
epidemic or what tho treatment may he
the great lesson afforded by the health
school was that a quarantine Is an effec-
tive way to prevent the spread thereof
In no other direction is there so great
carelessness as in connection with any
disease that is liable to become epidemic
Those exposed fee to the uttermost parts
of the state or Of neiGhhoring States and
in this way disease is spread broadcast
Many things remain to be learned about
infantile paralysis, but quarantine is on
the safe and sure side. If the health
officers school had done nothing more
than to inculcate ana emphasize this les
son, 1t would have been worth all It cost
to have these precautions adopted In
900 of the 2i6 towns in Vermont
While all concerned are to be congratu-
lated on the SUCCESS of the Health Off
GERS school Or, Caverly Of Rutland, the
president Of the State board Of health,
lis particularly to be congratulated in
view of the length Of time he has been
working TO make this undertaking what
It is to-day for the credit Of all Vermont.

putatlon that the doctors enormously
and with intention pronounce sickness
smallpox because they desire the in
creased revenue that comes from wide
spread vaccination.
Those who really believe that the med
zeal profession would prostitute itself in
this way are snall-mlnded Others may
profess to agree with the idea because
Of their desire to allay a scare Both
viewpoints are to be thoroughly con-
domned.
The best thing that any community
can 90 when It is visited by smallpox,
or any other contagious disease, is TO
face the music man fashion, and do
everything possible to stamp it out. This
is much moro to The point than Is grumb-
ling and the making Of yelled inslnua-
'tions against honorable men.
And the best way to stamp out the
disease is to rely on tho experts, the
doctors Their reputation is involved in
this matter and they are the center OF
the gaze of the medical fraternity the
state over. They are desirous Of making
n good record and the health depart
ment and the doctors should receive the
whole-hearted support Of all citizens In
the case Of visitation by contagious
disease Their success depends, in a
arge measure on the cooperation of
the public.

In Poor Robins Almanac for 1897 is
found the well known verse in connection
with St swithin's Day, July 16:
In this month Is st. Swithn's Day
on which II that it rain they say
Full 40 days after II will
Or more or less some rain dlstil
For the forty days following July IL,
the day on which was buried st.
Swithin, chaplain to King Egbert of Eng
land who lived In the ninth century,
believers in folklore hold that the con-
duct of the weather Is controlled by
what occurs on the saints holiday. For
many years shippers would not forward
their goods and travellers would post
pone their Journeys IL that days weather
was stormy. But each year the influence
of the saint over the weather has grown
less until now St. Swithin's day is placed
on the shelf along with other legends
According to statistics complied at the
United States weather observatory the
sa Int hasn't very good batting average
as forecaster. From 1910 until 1915
three of Saint Swithin's days were rainy
and the other two were fair. In 1912 and
1914. the years in which the days werc
fair. Is and 3 days. respectively, Of the
following 40 DAYS we're rainy. IN 1910,
1871 and 1913, in which the saints days
were rainy. out Of the following 30 days,
10, IA and IL were rainy &C one out Of
every 21a days in this vicinity is rainy,
st. Swithin would not seem to compare
very well with Uncle sam as a weather
prophet.
The legend originated in England in sf2,
when the body of St Swithln, who had
just been canonized was removed from
the churchyard of Winchester 10 crypt
in Winchester Cathedral. The translation
was originally planned for July Is, but
was delayed on account of violent rains
which continued for forty days without
ntermisson. From this circumstance
arose the current belief that if rain
fell on July Is. it would continue for ~
days.
