There have been 446 orders placed,
upon the greater part of which, bills
have been checked, approved and pre-
scented for payment. In addition to
the, above, GO orders were placed with
the multigraph department.
The market conditions arc in such
an unsettled state that it is with
great difficulty that orders can be
placed for the goods we enquire for

inents. Large mercantile houses who
have heretofore carried an extensive
stock of commodities are now carry
ing very light stocks on account of
the uncertainty OF production and
prices; and in many cases are sold
out between the time they quote and
the time the order reaches them. In
many cases they are unable TO procure
these goods making it necessary for
this Office to get new prices elsewhere

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Report OF The SECRETARY

The Vermont State Board OF Health,
in cooperation with the other states
through the conference of State and
Provincial Health Authorities of North
America, has entered into an agree
ment with the American Red Cross
and the National Tuberculosis Associ.
alton i'll regard to public health nurs.
Ing. BY this agreement the Red Crosi
and Tuberculosis Association agree to
cooperate with the State Board OF
Health in placing public health nurses
in local communities, and it is further
agreed that where such, nurses are
emploed they shall be under the
supervision Of the State Board Of
Health. Community or pubic health
nurses have already been placed In a
number Of towns in the state, and sew
eral other towns have nursing or
CARNATIONS formed and are waiting
only to secure q nurse in order to
start the work. This will be a dis.
tnct advance in public health work
i'he logical outcome of this will be
the employment OF "a nurse in each
OF the sanitary districts of the state.
This nurse would be under the direct
supervision of the district health Off.
GER The present program, through
cooperation with the Vermont Tuber-
ulosis Association, calls fer FIVE such
nurses whose duties viii largely con
sis: of tuberculosis and school work
1t is proposed to finance these nve
nurses from the proceeds OF the sale
OF Red Cross Seals.
The month of August has been
remarkably light one in regard to all
communicable diseases. There are no
epidemics in the state and even ty-
phoid fever, which usually begins to
occur at this time is being kept well
under control Throughout the whole
summer there have been only four
cases of poliomyelitis.
Diphtheria antitoxin to the amount
of s147.51 was distributed during the
