WEEKLY REPUBL CAN Cm- VOLÜME 57 PLYMOUTH. INDIANA. THURSDAY. JUNE 1, 1913. NUMBER 22 y . i - . II f. :'-r CITY GARBAGE Council Hear Report of Health Officer Martin and Consider Best Methods of Providing for the Disposal of Garbage Medical Inspection of School Children. In all probability the next session of the city council will see thepas . sage of an ordinance requiring every body to have a garbaze can for the depositing of the garbage now usual ly thrown into the back yard oral ley. As explained by councilman Clizbe, Warsaw i s a system of this kind and it works admirably. The cans cost $1.12 each, the city buying them and furnishing them to the citizens at cost. The citizens having the cans, pay for the can and also for hauling the garbage away. The Minneapolis plan of having all the garbage wrapped in papers be ing put into the can was elso dis cussed, but a difficulty inthe way of this is that not all of our people have sewer connections so that they can drain the water off the'r garbage, and no place but in the backyard to throw th?ir dish water. Valuable Report. City health officer Dr. Marth made a valuable report to th 3 council last night and all who were present appreciate! the interest he has tak en as well as the good things he said for berieSt 6f the c'ty.- Her . vjewed briefly' ;the speeches -j'the last meeting o the". State Board of Health, giving the important tning? S3id there. Thirty years ago our sanitary system was inaugurated and it ha wrought a marvelous change in aM the cities of our state, said Judge C. 'C. Hadley, in opening the stat meeting. He closed by pronounc 'the highest encomiums upon Dr. J. 7C. Hurty, our state health officer. "The privy vault was condemned as the most unsanitary thing which exists today in our larger cities. State Food Inspector Barnard toll ot the importance of requiring the -aale of pure foods, and placed on the local health officers the duty of "prosecuting violations of the pure food laws. Medical inspection was given a prominent place. The new law r?- rmires that the teacher and parent know the physical condition of the child so that they may know how to deal with him. Proper care of teeth was a prominent thing in the health of the child. Conditions In Plymouth. Dr. Martin got down to loca1 conditions. He said there should be an ordinance providing for garbage disposal. Manure piles should not: be allowed, but should be put into enclosed boxes or cans; privy vaults should be kept closely covered; the sewage which we turn into Yellow river to let run through the city is a connstant menace, he said; flies should be destroyed so they will not carry diseases which kill Tis and our children. Dr. Martin read an ordinance which has been recommended by the State Board of Health covering 11 these points. The council favor ed the passage of the ordinance and referred the matter to a committee and the city attorney report at the next meeting of the. council. Several citizens were present and took an interested part in tl-.c dis- - cussioi of the garbage orunan. The ladies said that garjasre Ja- centaetei were th crying need of the hosuewif e during hrt weather and thy hoped the council would pro vide relief for them n this respect. Mr. Geo. Thaver looke for the school-board and said that the mem bers had cone much in improving the sanitation of the two school buildings and he believed they wouid begin the medical inspection of children next fall under the new law.

Four Plants Recently Started Go To Wall, Some of Them Heavily In Debt. During the last two or three years was a' time for the promotion of cooperative creameries in Indiana. Quite a large number of these were started, and some have suceeded so far, but several have already gone to the wall. Among those that have failed are the Galveston, Reynolds. Kempton and Covington creameries all in the state The Galveston plant cost $5,000 and wjen it closed its doors it had indebtedness of $7,000. Perhaps, not more than $1,000 can be derived from the plant ..and, ma chinery. As is well known, the promoters who-start these creameries care for nothing except, to. rellthe machinery. When: that- is dene t"J 7 let the stockholders Holl the bag." - BARNUM'S BIO CIRCUS.

WOODBURY OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY TELLS HOW WASHINGS WITH COLD WATER WILL HELP. KEMBB14PRAY GOOD F. A. Forbes Receives Letter From State Institution Which Throws Some Light On Problem. The following letter from Associ ate Horticulturist Woodbury of Puprdue University will throw some light o the maple scale now on the trees in our city: Mr. F. A. Forbes, Plymouth, Ind. Dear Mr. Forbes: I have your letter of May 19 en closing specimens of scale insects on maple twigs. This scale is known as Pulvinaria Innumerabilis. It has several oommcn names, such as cottony maple scale, grape vine scale, etc. This is quite common on both maple and grapes. Its outbreaks are generally sporadic and brief in duration owing to a number of diseases and parasites to which it is more or les3 subject and which usually hold it fairly in sub jection. Thjj cottony masses which are just beginning to be pushed out from under the scales contain the eggs which should begin to hatch be- oore very long. Where good watei wsgnre is avauable, the insect can be controlled fa-irl well on tnrB by repeated drenching with cold water from the hose about the time the young lice are hatching out and I rawUn tlnit oy,r tlie tri. Spraying at this time with kerosene emulsion is also effective but of course is more expensive and trouble some. Sprayin with concentrated lime-surphur during the winter is al so good. With best regards, I am, "Very turly yours, C. G. Woodbury, Associate Horti cultural Dept. Purdue University. Double Birthday Party.
