HEALTH BOARD
PROHIBITS ALL
VERMONTFA|RS
Action 7 AIKEN Because ofPar-
alysis Epidemic
68 CASES AND 5 DEATHS
Order Also Applies to Chautauquasr
Street Fair CarniVals and
Cireuses.

Burlington, July 1S.--A most sweep
ing order was issued last night at
the office of DR.. Charles F. Dalton
secretary of the State board Of health,
dealing with fantile paralysis in
the State OF Vermont.
At the conference, at which Cover
nor Graham was present, the question
was raised as to the propnety OF
holding fairs, both State and county,
Chautauquas, street carniyals or cir
cuses. and after considerable discus
sion the board made an order forbid
ding the existence Of such entertain
ments in the State of Vermont until
further notice. The order in full is
as follows:
Burlington, July II, 1911.
TO date we have had in the State
GS cases of infantile paralysis this
year. This is a greater number OF
cases than we have had in any year
during the last five years, with one eX
ception. have been confined to Wash
ington county. There are good reasons
for hoping that this outbreak may be
checked at this time. In past years
we have had reason TO think that
large general gatherings of people
from many towns have distributed
this infection. August and Septem
ber in past years have been ouI
worst months as far as this disease
is concerned.
In view of these facts the attention
of local boards OF health is hereby
called to Act No. 194 Of the Laws OF
1917. and such boards are directed tc
make and enforce regulations in the
several towns whenever local condi
tions require such action. When one
or more cases develop in any town
the local board of health should take
action either prohibiting all pubic
gatherings or excluding all childrM
under l6 years Of age from such gatl
erings, also from lunch, soda watel
and ice cream counters and othei
public eating and drinking places.
1t is hereby ordered that no fairs
Chautauquas. street carnivals or cir
cuses be held in the State of Yer
mont until further notice.
BY order of the State board o
health,
Charles T. Dalton. Secy.
The board also voted last nigh
that strictly local gatherings may b.
forbidden at any time in the discre
ton of the officials of the State boar'
of health, as circumstances may wal
rant.

In making corn bread be sure to get
the proper kind Of meal; otherwise it
needs flour to keep 1t together. Ask
for the old southern milled conmeal.
1t is very fine, white and needs no
flour a good recipe for corn bread
is as follows: one and one-half cupfuls
of cornmeal. one-haf cupful of milk. a
pinch of salt, piece of butter the size
OF an egg, one-half teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder and one egg 1t must not
be too stiif. Put in pan that will
make the batter about one and one-half
inches thick and bake till brown. 1t
is impossible TO make the southern

CUTTING TIE ROSES.
How to Remove the Flowers Without
lnjuring the Plants.

There is right as well as wrong
way to cut roses. II not cut cor
rectly the blossom producing proper
ties of the plants may be seriously In
iured. This applies particularly, Of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
such roses win be largely of the per-
petual blooming sorts.
When rose is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes of the current
seasons growth of that branch should
he left on the plant. This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
blossoms should be cut TO the ground.
lt will seem like destroying the bush
to take so much off, but If the object
is the production of roses the cutting
away of the surplus wood will simply
further the desired end.
II the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
To have long, naked stalks and short
stems TO the flowers. In such case
only one or two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
flower is cut so as to stimulate as
much growth as possible from The base
Of the plant
The temptation is great to leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one Is open. This
had practice can be avoided by pinch
ing Off all side shoots after . hud has
formed on the end of branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and

APPLE GROWERS TO EXHIBIT

Maple Sugar Makers


A joint meeting and exhibition of
the Vermont State Horticultural so
ciety and the State Sugar Makers as
sociation is being arranged 1t is
proposed to hold the meeting in Bur
lington the first week in December.
The use of the large assembly rooms
in the city hall, free of charge, has
been offered by the mayor of Burling-
ton.
1t was stated by Prof. NJ. B, Cum
mings, secretary of the Horticultural
society that this would be the first
time these two associations have met
in Joint session, but in view of the
fact that the work of members Of both
societies is largely with trees and tree
products, there should be much in
common,
A combined meeting and exhibition
of the two associations is likely
therefore, to be of very great mutual
advantage, Mr.. Samuel T. Merri

KNIrTERs ARE KNITTING
Eighty Garments Forwarded by Ben
nneton Navy League Workers


Through Mrs. A. S. NJ. Chisholm,
chairman of the Bennington comforts
committee of the Navy League. con-
signment Of 80 knitted garments,
sweaters. helmets, wristlets and mui-
fiers, has just been sent to the Wash
ington headquarters OF the comforts
committee. Although women through
out the country have been knitting
for months there is a continued de
mand for the garments to outfit the
navy. Considering the small amount
of agitation that has been attached
to the effoIts Of the Navy League
workers in Bennington the results
have been very gratifying. Women
who before the opening OF the war
we're far from expert with the big
needles have acquired skill in their
use and the product Of their labor has
conformed to the requirement to a
remarkable degree
With the increasing Importance at
taching to the aviation department
of the navy and army comes de
mand for aviation helmets and this
line of work viii undoubtedly be
taken up at an early date by the Ben
nington knitters of the Navy League
To properly do his work, especially
if attached to the navy, an aviator
must be clothed in the warNest OF
garments.

Othef states.
Washington, July 17--With only
seven States to be heard from, and
all draft registrants serially number
ed in the other forty-one common
wealths, and in the District of Colum-
bia, there is tonight a fair prospect
that the actual drawings of the key
numbers will take place on Thursday
Brig. Gen. Crowder, the Provost
Marshal General, is hopeful that the
last seven States will be heard from
tomorrow and he is making his plans
to begin the drawings on Thursday.
The drawing of the key numbers will
place within twenty-four hours after
the last State has reported.
The order in which each OF the
5000 and odd key numbers is drawn
will determine the order in which the
registrants in each district, who have
corresponding numbers, will be liable
for military duty. 1t will determine
the order in which a sufficient num-
Der of registrants is to be obtained,
based upon State quotas, to raise
6S7, 900 men by draft, after exemp-
tions have been allowed The larg-
est district contains approximately
5000 resistrants.
The number of key numbers to be
drawn will correspond exactly with
the number of registrants in this
largest district AS the aggregate of
Lav y,ur, barc d,.o NJ, will nOr,acpond
exactly with the total number of per.
sons registered in the largest dis
trict, the aggregate of about 5000
key numbers to be drawn will be
large enough to more than cover all
the serial numbers in each registra-
ton district throughout the country
| The first key number to be drawn
will determine that every man bear
ing that number in any district will
be the first man liable throughout all
districts having that number Thus
| If 1t is the first number drawn 1t will
| be the key number determining that
1850 men in as many districts will be
the first men in those districts to be
examined for the draft, and so on un-
til the serial numbers which the ex-
| emption boards have been assigning
to the registrants have been arrang-
ed in the order Of liability to service
AS far as can be told now, every
registrant will have to be informed
not only of the serial number placed
on his card by the local Exemption
Board but also of the exact number
Of registrants in his district Other.
wise he will be unable to know until
he is ordered before the board what
his order Of liability is.
With his own number and the total
number Of registrants in his district
any registrant can figure out quickly
what place he occupies in the line as
soon as tho results Of the lottery are
announced If there are 1900 regis
tered men every serial number above
that will represent a blank in that
district when IL is drawn, and the
rotation numbers of the drawing
will pass them over Thus, il No. LAPS
should be drawn hrst, No. 1869 sec
