Marveling at the great work carried
on by the Consolidation Coal company
at Traction Park in staying the cpl

mer, eighty.two physicians attending
the State Medical Society meeting here
Visited that institution yesterday after
noon.
They left the court house in spe-

in detail the research work done at the
institute to combat the disease, While
DIR. Peter Noe, Jr., who had charge OF
the Traction Park emergency hospital,
told OF his experiences there, which
we're along practical lines. Prominent
physicians from all over the state OF
West Virginia were present and they
were astonished at this great WORK
which was carried on in such a salts
factory manner. All of the visitors
were satisfied with the results and
rraise alone was extended to those
who had charge of the hospital.
All Of the thirty.one patients occu'
pied chairs at the hospital, which was
arranged as nearly as possible as 1t
was when the epidemic was at its
height. The "kiddies" were happy on
Tuesday afternoon and with them were
their parents. 1t was such contrast
in the picture that could have been
drawn Just few months before.
Three group pictures were taken.
One of these was composed of all Of the
patients, the members of the State
Medical Society who paid the hospital
visit and DR.. Peter Noe, Jrp and his
corps Of nurses.

PLANT Vegetables TO
CUT COST OF Living

Nothing 50. surprises the foreigner
who is visiting America for the first
time az the fact that so few Ameri-
can homes have their own vegetable
beds. In every suburb most homes
have a lawn. or flower beds. but few
homes indeed plant vegetables.
Possibly the high cost Of living dur
ing the past several years will prove
a blessing in the end, because it is
leading more and more people to use
to advantage the garden space around
their homes.
