The result these to warrant the expert

the plans for dwelling houses exceeded, in housing

this all the tax should be remitted, especially as

In New York City, it is much more than this.

That the utility OF vaccines and

best not proved is asserted by Drs.
C. w. Mccoy and c. W. Chaplin OF

Antiplague vaccine was first used on

old killed broth cultures in large
doses and claimed that marked re-
duction in the attacks Of the dis

port much less brilliant results. pos
sibly as later work suggests. be-
cause different strains Of the plague
organism affect the efficiency OF the
vaccine. Inoculst'on by living avi-

promising by other workers. but its
value has not been demonstrated.
Vaccination is not known to have
ever controlled a plague outbreak.
Evidence in regard to the prophy-
Tactic value Of serum is meaEer,
they declare. Certainly IL confers no
complete or durable immunity. As
a therapeutic agent. however. serum
seems to have had some success.

 Is Issued to You to
 Go Out 10 Camp Chekota

Have you ever visited Camp Che kota?
 No?
 Well, you have missed seieng a real Scout camp.
 Camp Chekota Is located four and a half miles east of Bessemer, on Shades creek
 The Cherokee word "Chekota" means 'big cabin" Thus the name Overlooking the creek. away above q laurel-covered cliff, and snuggled back among the big pines, stands the big cabin. This cabin was built by Troop 7s of Muscoda. It's a real. oldfashioned cabin-two big rooms, an open hall intersecting. Tn the big room huge fireplace yawns and in it are placed some real old fash toned Andy irons" to hold the logs. The mantel and all the end of this room toward the chimney Is finished in split maple logs. Back side out, around the big hearth, are three old fashioned hickory rockers. The walls are decorated with pennants, knot boards, pictures of different animals g., match holders and decorations too numerous to mention. All are the work of Troop IS. We will now cross the open hall and take a peep into the kitchen, tho most interest ing place.

The Boy Scouts certainly did have a wonderful time with President and Mrs. Harding when they were here this week
 Hundreds of them looked upon their faces, even though some of the scouts hands were dirty-had to be, you know, because they were hard at work--the President and his wife didn't mind that, and reached right out to say, How do you dof with a hearty shake.
 Salutes met these friendly ad vances, and grins from the scouts, of course.
 It is just such things that make a President of the United States happy, just as well ss anybody else--to be welcomed really by the children as well as the grown folks.
 One President once said he knew the children were glad to see him when he went anywhere. He had his doubts about some grown-ups.
 If you read yesterdays edition of The Age-Herald you may have read how the President and Mrs. Hard ing held a regular reception for scouts around their carriage while 1t was parked on the Fifth avenue side of the Tutwiler hotel.
 Mrs. Harding distributed roses to some of the fellows.
 Guess where they put them?
 In their pockets.
 Isn't that the only place a boy can keep anything safely?
 Mrs. Harding said to one boy Leslie stollenwerck;
 You're a mighty little chap to be a Boy Scout"
