CONSOLIDATION OF MEDICAL OFFICES
 WILL BE OPPOSED Proposed Ordinance Looked on With Disfavor by Ma jOrity of Commission MEDICAL OLIGARCHY
 CHARGES BARBER Appointment of City Physician to Be Made at the Next Meeting.
 Open Opposition to Dr.
 Copeland

At conference held in the office of Commissioner Ward yesterday between the members of the board of education and the commissioners, 1t was indicated that the proposed ordinance of Commis- sioner Barber for the consolidation of the offices of city physician and medical su- pervisor of public schools would meet with defeat in the event it came up at the next meeting of the commissioners.
 Commissioners Hornady, Ward and Truss were frank in their views on the subject and made it known that they would oppose the passage of any such measure Dr. J. H. Phillips, Dr. E. P. Hogan, Ben M. Jacobs J. B. Gibson, Mrs. D. A. Echols and Commissioners Hor- nady, Ward, Truss and Barber were pres ent at the conference. Several talks were made by various members of the board Of education, in which it was clearly pointed out that the dut1es of the city physician and those of the medical su- pervisor were so foreign to each other and required such a different medical procedure, that it would be impra cticable and false economy to attempt to com
 
 that the work of the medical supervisor among the children in the public schools was highly satisfactory and that the de- partment had done more than the public could possibly be aware of for the pre- vention of contagious diseases and minor ailments of the children.
 GOOD WORK OF SUPERVISOR
 Tt would be folly to stop this great cooperation and good work by the com bining of the two positions of city phy- siclan and medical supervisor" said Dr. Phillips No one could be more prof. cient and capable than the present med ical supervisor, who thoroughly under stands every phase of this work.' Dr. Me- Lester is the present medical supervisor of public schools and it was evident from the sentiment expressed at yesterday s meeting that he would remain in this ca pacity and the proposed ordinance of Mir Barber would meet with defeat, in the event 1t was brought up to vote by the commissioners on next Tuesday.
 Rumors prevailing about the city hall are to the effect that Dr. Cecil Gaston will be named for the position of city physician, although nothing definite has been done as yet nor have any of the commissioners expressed themselves open- ly for him.
 It is evident that the appointment of the city physician will be acted upon on next Tuesday and that MT. Barber's re- quest that the office of city physician be taken out of his department will be unan- imously indorsed and voted upon accord 1ngly at the next meeting of the com mission. MT. Barber appeared to be net tied at the opposition ot the remaining commissioners in regard to his recommen- dation of pr. c. P. Copeland for the posi- ton of city physician

TO GET MORE GOOSEBERRIES
Lay Down Tips Of Branches and Cover
With Earth-Also Cut Off the
Top Of Old Bush.

In many places it will pay to plant
more gooseberries. If you have a
few old bushes that you like very
much, the way to increase them is
very simple. Lay down the tops Of
the branches this spring and cover
with earth. They will take root and
may be removed in the fall.
A still better way, but it involves
the loss of one crop of fruit, is to cut
off all the tops of the old bush close
to the ground and cover an inch deep
with earth.
Anywhere from IL to so sprouts
will start up. After they are six
inches high, fill in with three inches
of earth.
In the fall you will have al many
well-rooted plants as there are shoots,
which may be cut off and set in q
row.

the latter is past remedy. Bulbs,
planted hopefully in autumn, appear
not at all in the spring, or only in the
shape Of sickly plants, whose life sub
stance has been gnawed away. Muir
sery ard orchard trees here and there
put forth no leaves, and an examina.
ton Of the roots discloses the nature
of the damage.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots,
beets, aud other vegetables are eaten
by pine mice, both while growing and
when stored in pits or lying in piles
in the field or garden. Potatoes part
ly matured or left long in the ground
after maturity are eaten, and the In
jury is attributed to moles, because
tunnels supposed to be the work Of
moles lead to the place OF damage.
The writer has investigated numerous
cases of such injury and has invari-
ably found either that the tunnels
were made by pine mice, or, If mole
tunnels, that they were f~requented by
mice. Traps set in the tunnels at the
potato hills captured pine mice, and
the starchy material found in the
stomachs Of those caught proved that
they, and not moles, had been eating
he potatoes.

VALUABLE FOR THE GARDENS
Composing Manure Increases QUAINT
ty Of Plant Food Available
Fork Over Occasionally.

Composing manur is valuable to
almost any farmer, since composing
increases the quantity of plant food
available and also put the manure
and other materials in excellent con-
dition for application to land. It is
especially valuable for use on gardens
or truck farms.
Compost consists Of mixed and
rotted organic matter, particularly
manure and litter. It is best to make
it in a level place on puddled clay
soils to prevent drainage. For the
bottom layer use leaves, straw, sod,
etc. On top of this put a layer OF
manure, weeds. spoiled hay, and the
like. Repeat this order. making layers
about four inches thick, until a height
OF about four feet is reached. The
pile may be made IS long or as wide
as is desired. 1t should be kept packed
and forked over occasionally. In dry
weather keep it moist by applying wa
ter or liquid manure This is i'm
portant.

RATION TO FATTEN CHICKENS
Feed Recommended by Poultry Hus-
bandman Of Nebraska College 40
Being Most Economical.

Just q little time spent in fattenine
birds will greatly improve their quail
ity. The following ration has been
recommended by the poultry husband
man Of the Nebraska College of Agri-
culture as being most economical, and
giving satisfactory results in fatten-
ing chickens: Sixty per cent cornmeal.
40 per cen low-grade -four, 20 per
cent wheat middlings. Mix with skim
milk to the consistency of q batter,
and feed morning and night. Starve
the birds for IL hours previous to
their first feeding. This will sharpen
their appetites. Fatten for two weeks
in a small pen or crate, until ready
for killing. This will deprive the fowls
Of exercise, and the muscles will be-
come soft. Fatty tissue will he taken
on between the muscle fillsrs. which
will greatly aid in the cooking process.
Don't kill the bird when the crop Is
full. Starve for "a hours and provide
all the water they will drink. II the
chicken Is to be roasted, remove the
crop either with the viscera or by
making an incision next to the spinal
column, where it will not show when
the bird is severed. The cords or ten
dons Of the thigh may be easily re-
moved by partly severing the shank
at the hook joint. Then, after locat-
ing the cords by making a lengthwise
incision in the scaiy portion Of the
leg, fasten the leg securely and pull
| steadily until the cords teal loose.
