Tree to Decorate

With proper attention and care,
trees of small size will thrive in small
patches of soil where larger trees,
with their spreading root systems,
might languish, says the American
Tree association of Washington, D. G.

trees is dignified and decorative, and
gives fine touch of green to a street

wood, Nd, as q preventative of
colds, whooptng cough and other
diseases Of the upper.respiratory
tract when he addressed the con.
vention OF the New Jersey Sanitary
Association at Haddon Hall.
Colonel Vedder, who has been ex.
perimenting with the DESTROYER" of
the battlefields with the object Of
making it a beneficial agent az
medicine, said that out Of 1929
cases treated with gas for acute
colds or bronchitis, 81 per cent
were reported as cures, 80 per cent
as improved and 6 per cent as no
change. He explained that the idea
OF using the gas as a cure for
diseases Of the upper.respiratory
tract had been suggested by the
fact that the influenza epidemic Of
1913 had passed by the Englewood
Arsenal when chlorine gas was
being manufactured there and this
fact led to extensive experiments
with astonishing results as to its
efficacy in the treatments of colds,
u think" he said, In speaking
OF the application Of the treatment
to school children, ives estimate
that from one.quarter to q third of
the diseases that incapacitate school
children are infections acouirad
through the respiratory tract. 1t
is quite practicable in any school

troduce, chlorine into the main
Ventilating duct, in such Quantities
as will maintain a concentration IN
the class rooms Of .015 mig. liter.
This could be done for an hour two
or three times a week under the
supervision OF the school physician.
similarly chlorine could be used
IN theaters, and movies when colds
or influenza are prevalent. Ii
could be used for an hour at night
In barracks and dormitories. There
Is also a possibility that this may
prove an effective treatment for
