Hartford Home Makes a Record in
Bone operations-Not Patient
Has Been Lost.

Hartford, Conn.-Twenty-two spinal
bone graft operations on children
committed from improper homes to
the Newington Home for Crippled
Children, without the loss of single
patient, is the record of three Hart
ford physicians during the year.
The operations were performed by
DR.. ]. c. Wilson, assisted by Drs. f.
M. Yergason and Edward A. Deming.
The operation first performed three
years ago by Doctor Albee of New
York city is one of the most difficult
known to medical science today. The
Newington Home is operated by the
Connecticut Childrens Aid society.
For many years the name of the insti-
tuition was the Newington Home for
Incurables. but because of the num-
ber of cures. both in spinal and hip
trouble and in club foot and paralysis
which the doctors were able to effect,
the name recently was changed.

DESERT WKECkS A MINSTREL
Mule and Trained Dogs With One.
Man Show Perish Of
Thirst.

Pomona, Cal.-Hitched to a light
wagon in the place OF a faithful mule
which perished in the desert, William
Green, an old animal trainer from
New Orleans, arrived here and ap.
pealed to Mayor Vandergrift for aid
He was sick and penniless.
Green left New Orleans last March,
headed for the San Francisco Exposi-
tion. He had show wagon drawn by
the mule. In the wagon were 18 per-
forming dogs. Green himself was once
leading light Of minstrelsy.
The wandering minstrel raked in
the money till he struck the desert in
Arizona and then his fortune faded.
His mule, died of thirst. He bought a
horse and it perished on the desert.
His intelligent dogs, some of which
were valued at $500, dropped off one
by one. He says aid given by passen-
gers of an overland train enabled him
to get out Of the desert with his own
life.
