PARALYSIS EXPERTS HERE
DIR. Lovett of Harvard and Assistant with
Vermont State Board of Health Men
Advise Individual Treatment
in 48 Cases.

DIR. Lovett of Boston, who is consid-
cred Massachusetts authority on
poliomyelitis. together with his assist
ant, Miss Wright. came to Barton
Friday night. Drs Chas. Dalton, H.
A. Ladd and E. S. Towne of Burling-
ton, of the State board of health, ac-
companed DR.. Lovett.
The clinics were held at Sunshine
Home" Miss Austin's sanitarium
Saturday, both in the forenoon and
afternoon and again on Sunday morn
ing. DR.. Lovett and Miss Wright treat
ed 48 cases here, which lacks but two
of the number recently treated at Bur-
lington. The fame of this doctor had
become so widely known, that pract-
cally every person who had been afflict
ed with this disease within radius of
twenty miles. came here for examina
ton and treatment. The treatments
were very explicit and were very
thorough and special course of mus
Gle training was given in each separate
case. the patients.being most thorough
ly examined. All of our local physi
clans attended and were much interest
ed and among physicians from out of
town were DR.. Waller of Lyndonvlle.
DR.. 'Cushman of East Charleston, DIR
Getchell of Beebe Plain. DIR. Temple
ton of Irasburg, Dr. Wells of Orleans
DIR. Wright of Orleans and DIR. Buck of
Glover
Thlrty-six of the cases were treated
during the day Saturday and the clinic
commencing early in the morning con.
tinued throughout the day. Some of
the cases showed only an affected hand
or fingers but there was one case that
DR.. Lovett stated was the worst case
of paralysis he had yet seen. The
patients at Miss Austin's were not
treated until Sunday morning at which
time twelve were treated in oil, inelud-
ing the five at Miss Austin's home and
DR.. Lovett treated one patient on the
train when leaving here. DR.. M. F.
Prime. the health officer here, materi-
ally assisted throughout these clinics
and it is probably true that more cases
have come directly under DR.. Primes
care than any single physician in the
/ state.
The state seems to be doing all in it's
power to relieve the suffering and
crippled condition of these paralysis
affected patients and while as yet
there seems to be no actually known
remedy or preventative for the dreaded
disease, every ything is being done to
| find such remedy and it is probable
that at no very late date an antitoxin or
something of that nature may be found
| Proper exercise of the affected mus
cles is the only means of improvement
for patients now known and the dag
nosis of effete muscles and prescribed
exercises was the work done by DIR.
! LOvett and assistants.

The Story Recital.

The story recital given by Miss Ger
trude Skinner of New York at the
Gem theatre Wednesday Dec. Goth,
was we'll attended. The proceeds went
to Sunshine Home" the infantile
paralysis sanitarium here, conducted by
Miss Austin and while the admission
charged was very small nearly twenty
dollars was realized. The rec tai was
novel and very interesting and the
adults seemed to enjoy it almost as
we'll as the children, although the
feature is exceptionally attractive to
young folks. Miss SINNERS manner
was charming and the simplicity and
naturalness of her story telling capti-
waited every child in the audience and
made them believe at once in fairies
and "br'er rabbit The stories were
we'll and appropriately chosen and in
cluded, Kipling's, "How the Camel
Got His Hump; 1.-THE Ogre and the
Jackstraws" by David Starr Jordon
a Southern Nonsense Tale and three
Christmas stories: 1.-THE Golden Cob
web," translation from an old folk
story; "The Little Gray Lamb, " an
adaptation by Miss Skinner. herself
and "The Joy of the Beautiful Pine,
a story written by Thornton w. Burgess
for the children of Springfield, Mass.
for the Pageant of 1913. Miss Skinner
was assisted by local talent, Mrs. Ruth
Webster and Miss ReGfeld and Mrs
Florence Pillsbury in vocal and piano
solos and duets and the Rev. A. B
Blake reciting short original poem
dedicated to Miss Austin's work. Miss
Skinner is to be congratulated on thi:
work which she has taken up during
the past two or three years as she il
most certainly perfectly adapted tt
story telling and she cannot fail to fee
gratifed at. the congratulate onS ant
appreciation which have been tenderet

The New Years ball at. Seavervs
opera hall on New Years eve was well
patronized and success from all
points. There were about thirty coup
pies on the floor and quite few people
watched the dancers from the balcony.
The hall was very attractively deco
rated in red and green papor and bells
and after the serpentines had been
used was even more attractivein its
muIti-colored paper streamers. Nearly
everyone wore the paper cap favorS
and the new year was ushered in with
considerable horn-bIowing and confetti.
A large party of young people came
from Orleans and helped very much to
make the affair success.

Two Murders and Suicide.

mrs. Charles Wheaton, wife of a
FARMER living on the outskirts of St.
JohnsDnry, and VIM. Lane, a farm
hand. were shot and killed Monday by
a former employee of the Wheatons, j.
~ !uglas London, who later committed
suicide. London is believed to have
been insane.
Details of the atrocity indicate that
London, armed with rifle, went to
the Wheaton farm during Mr. Whea-
tons absence. Lane fled to the barn
on hearing London's announcement
that he intended to kill him and
received bullet through the abdomen
when London fired through the door.
London then entered the house and
pursued Mrs. Wheaton toward front
room. His first shot missed but as the
woman closed door, London fired
through the panel. the bullet piercing
MRS Wheaton's heart.
Returning home, London told Mrs.
James kilburn, with whom he boarded,
that he had killed Mrs. Wheaton and
Lane and ordered her to give the alarm
as he was going to kill himself. After
Mrs. .kllburn had fled. London went
into the barn and shot himself.
London had been in the habit of
visiting the Wheatons every Sunday
and made his accustomed call the day
before but his actions did not appear
unusual. Mrs. kilburn said that -for
the past month London had talked in
an lncoherent manner about the Whea-
tons, but that very little attention was
paid to what he said.
Mrs. Wheaton is survived by hus-
band and six daughters Three of the
girls were being driven to school by
their father when the mother was killed
and the other three witnessed the
tragedy
