II ent5 were made by the institute.
DR.. Amoss began TO speak shortly be.
fore l o'clock this afternoon. the train
cr which he was a passenger having
teen running late.
Seventy-five physicians were regis
tered UP to noon today. The Fair.
This mornings session was opened
at o'clock by Dr. ]. E. RAIDER. the
president, OF Huntington. The invo-
cation was by Rev. II. G. Stoetzer, d.
D., Of the First Presbyterian church,
and the address of welcome was given
by Mayor Bowen. The address of well
come on behalf of the society was
made by DR.. e. y. Henry, of Fair
mont. DR.. c. r. Ogden. of C'arks-
burg, made the repsonse.
During the morning session an ad-
dress was made by Dr.. H. B. Wood,
of the State Health department. who
stated that an epidemic of dysentery
was prevalent in the southern part OF
the state and warned the physicians
to be on the lookout for it, They
were urged to report these cases to
the state because the government
want sto know about them SO as to
keep all soldier camps clear of it.
Dr.. Wood discussed the Pennsyl-
vania state system of health officers,
but he was reminded that the Key
stone State gets an Appropriation of
$3,OO0,OOO, while West Virginia gets
very little in comparison. One of the
PROBLEMS OF West Virginia was to get
the physicians in counties having no
medical societies to be informed of
the work, and this he said also appli-
ed to the lay population.
Dr. w. j. Judy, of Bellevfffe. told
of a case of rabies that existed with a
dog, which bit sheep and SO on until
number Of cases had developed. He
explained how he notified the health
department, which investigated. but
its work was not very effective. DR..
Judy did not crltlcise the department,
hut thought that the laws were
faulty
DR.. S. l.. Jepson. of Charleston,
spoke in the interest of the depart
ment Prior to 1913 the department
had no money appropriated to it. He
stated that Wheeling for long time
was spending more money for public
health than the state itself outside of
| the city. He stated that the Attorney
General had ruled that the rabies
would not come under the health de-
partmtnt.
Some of the members believed that
the registration Of vital statistics
should be kept under the direction of
the county health authorities. An
effective law for the compusion of
vaccination was also urged. Berkeley
county has made such ruling.
DR.. L. n. Yost. Of Fatrmont, advo-
Gated the schools as the best source
of spreading health information. He
thought that each year the county
health officer should give talks with
the aid Of slides. He also believed
that the pulpit should give its sup
port by having Sunday reserved for
/ that purpose each year.
DR.. Fl. B. Wood strongly advocated
! the use of typhoid vaccine especially
in coal mine or other camps, as a
Imeans Of effectively combating the
disease. Cases OF tuberculosis should
ne reported to the state department,
which sends useful information on the
subject to the patient.
At this session Dr., ]. H. Brown
field, OF Fairmont, responded to adj
dress. He had been president Of the
state body for number Of years.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Treasurer
officials today were elated at the re.
turns pouring in from all parts of the
country indicating that the appeal to
raise three billion dollars for the
second liberty loan is meeting with an
enthusiastic response from the public.
Although reports from all large
cities make it appear that the public
welcomes the opportunity to assist
the Government in the present emer.
gency, officials recognize that only a
sustained intensive drive can make
the campaign a success.
It has been estimated that the vol,
ume OF subscriptions must approx
mate $125,0O0,O00 a day in order to
attain the minimum figures OF $4,000,

NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS

The genuine night blooming cereus
is a snaky-looking plant, but from the
time the buds appear in the early
spring, looking like tiny tufts of cot
ton, until the wondrous blossoms are
perfected, the plant is always an OBJ
ject of interest.
The opening of a cereus blossom
can never be appreciated until seen.
There is the quivering of the petals,
the gradual disclosing of the creamy
interiors, within which is most mar
velous mechanism of stamens sur
rounded by the star-like pistil. Only
the white pond lily gives a suggestion
of the wondrous purity Of the &C.
reus and even this the cereus far trans
cends. Yet it is easily grown.
If insects attack, spray or wash off
with kerosene emulsion, wing being
excellent for cleaning this plant. The
scale and aphls are its chief enemies.
Some plants are slow in attaining
blooming size, yet when this is once
reached they are faithful each year.
The humming bird and the rat-tail are
notable for exceptions, blooming nicely
when but few months or a year old
