ANNUAL TONSIL CLINIC
Villas County Children Have
Opportunity to Receive the
Free Service.

County Nurse Ann Christman an
nounces that the Villas County Ton
sill Clinic will be held in various
parts of the county, starting July
18th at Phelps.
Since the tonsil clinic last year,
many inquiries have been received
from parents throughout the coun-
ty, whose children need tonsil
operations, and already thirty-fve
applications have been received by
the county nurse. The Clinic last
year meant not only large saving
in time and expense to parents,
but also the advantages of having
the work done at home by first
class throat specialist. The nurse
and teachers report that of the
ninety-eight children who under
went a tonsil operation last year at
the clinic, all are showing a gen
eral improvement in health and
school work. For this reason, so
many parents are planning on the
clinic, that it is decided to have
the clinic an annual part of the
county health program.
DR.. Flavia M. Doty, eye, ear and
throat specialist from Gary, Ind.
ana, who performed the operations
last year at the clinic, has again
been engaged for the work. She
will arrive July 18th. She will also
be assisted again this year by the
local physicians. After her success
full work last year, nothing need
be said in regard to DR.. Doty's
skill.
Parents who wish to know the
cost of the operation, are advised
that it will be the same as last
year, namely $500 per child. The
treasurer of the Villas County We'll
fare Association, who handles the
financial end of the clinic, reports
that the per capita cost of the
clinic last year was $3.50. Pay
/ iA1CIAb LII NC ICNlIACSOC0 III cdNAN dllCC
this year, to save keeping of rec
ords. There are however, num-
Der of cases which have been inves-
tigated by committee, where the
parents are entirely unable to pay
the cost of the tonsil operation,
and these children cannot be neg
lected. For this reason, the an
nual Villas County Child Welfare
Tag Day will be held July 8th
throughout the county. Everyone
is asked to contribute to this
worthwhile cause. Last year, S518.-
so was raised on the Tag Day
About one-fifth of that sum is
still on hand; the balance has been
expended in part for the tonsil
clinic last year, and for the travel.
dental clinic last fall. The purpose
of the fund is to make medical and
dental attention possible for child
rem in the county who would other
wise have to go uncared for.

 Meanwhile committee named by Governor pinrhot, after q meeting with executives Of anthracite com mmiiics. is preparing today for nal request to miners and operators to resume ncgotia,ions next Wcdncs- day for settlement of the strike.
 Mr. Lewis, addressing the phila- dllphia real estate board last night, said the union was organizing it's defense in tho expectation that inc struggle would continue until the fall of 1926 or the spring of 1927, Should the strike ho prolonged, he said, funds would be provided so that the hungry would be fed and the naked clothed.
 Mir. Lewis continued today 10 | maintain silence regarding the atti- |tude of tho miners regarding the suggestions put forth hy the mayors and hurgcsses of the hard coal belt l for bringing the opposing forces to- i gcthcr. Neither was there any in timatiOn as to how these suggestions would be received by the operators. Mayor Durkan of Scranton chair man of the committee named by Governor Pinchot, planned to hold q meeting of the committee this aft ernoon in his office.
 We shall move forthwith" said Mayor Durkan "to carry out the provisions of the resolution adopted at the conference of executives of the anthracite region with every hope of having the miners and op- orators confer, agree and resume mining operations.
 We will draft no new plan tc present to these gentlemen if they agree to get together again. In our resolution adopted at Harrisburg we left the matter of plans entirely opcr to the two factions so that they could consider new ones. bring UT old ones, or use the governors pro, posals as a basis for settlement"
 The resolution adopted by the eX. ccutvcs invited inc miners and op. orators to resume negotiations al the point where they were broker off last August with the opposing , groups free to consider any plans oi settlement that might be offered.

WATERBURY FIRE DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Loss Estimated at S5O,OOO,-GaS
 Tanks Threatened

Waterbury, Dec. IS Pl-l'irc threatening to explode nearly one million gallons of gasoline, fuel oil and other inflammable oils in the south end last night, held hundreds of residents Of South Leonard and surrounding streets brcathloss as they watched the efforts Of the fire men to confine the fire 10 a small area.
 The fire was located in the char coal yard of the Citizens Coal Com pany on South Fifth street. Seven or eight charcoal sheds with about ten carloads of charcoal were de- stroyed together with a small frame office building, The fire itself, al- though spectacular bcca"se of the highly inflammable nature of the charcoal. was insignificant, compar- ed 10 the danger involved in tho close proximity Of over dozen huge oil tanks, belonging to the Standard oil Company, the Gulf Refining Company, and the Commercial Oil Company. The Citizens Coal Com pany yard is at the elbow of South Fifth street. South of it are the tanks of the Standard Oil Company, containing about S00OO0 gallons of oil and north of it are the tanks of the other two companies holding about 50,000 gallons each. The fire was discovered at 10:30 D. m.
 The first efforts of the firemcn were to stretch lines of hose through the yards of the two oil companies and protect the oil tanks by playing the streams on fire closest to the tanks and the intervening ground. Two extra companies besides the Brooklyn company were on hand and laid hose entirely surrounding the blaze. For several minutes the firemen penned in between the fire and the oil tanks had their lives in their hands. as any minute it seemed possible that sparks would light or the tanks and explode them. Within half an hour however, they had the fire under control so that danger Of exploding the tanks was removed and the firemen turned their attcn- tion to the blaze in the sheds and the office building. The charcoa created such hot fire that prac tlcally everything in the sheds ant the office building were consumed
