Connecticut Doctors
The expose in Connecticut of fake
physicians operating under false di-
plomns from more or less shadowy
medical colleges has revealed condi-
tions calculated to arouse consterna—
tion as well as resentment. -
As a. whole. society has made
great strides in the conservation of
health. The study of precent 21- me»
sures has taken on a measure of im-
portance hardly second to the act-
ual treatment of disc-use. '

their profession. but that there
should be no doubt as to the authen-
ticity and prestige of the Igcl‘iciel
through which they secured their
right to practice.

Apparently there are exceptions to

Dr. Arthur J. Cramp. of is
recent meeting in New Haven said
that every state but two. Connecti-
cut und Arkansas, have stiff dand-
ards that will keep out the inadeo
quately trained. These two states. he
declared. by retention of the Eclec-

"When the welfare of the state
and the health and life of the in-
dividual are at stake. it seems essen~
tial that some definite and uni-

diseases should be required though
the method of treatment may vary.
The State of Connecticut owes this
to its people as well .as to its own

form of treatments may be. there
must be fundamentals upon which a
common agreement may be based.
Where there is no such agreement
the state is morally bound to play

RICHMOND. Ind.. Nov. 22.——New
laurela have Just been added to hon-
ors piled on E. Curney Hill. grand
old man of American rose growing.
with the presentation of his new
creation. “America."
For fifty years Hill has been grow-

greenhouses here and has captured
many prizes for roses.
Five years ago his rose "Columo
bin" n the prize for the best rare
broug during the preceding five
years. His ”premier" captured one
of the annual prises soon after. This
year. in three exhibitions. his "Am-
erica" carried off the gold medals
for the best rose developed since
1919, awarded by the American Rose
Grower‘s Argunisation. also went to
Hill on this rose.
The "America" is peach pink in
color with just a tint of cream color
It is large and has a stem large

it dump. as many roses do. It may
be compared in size to the American

him to the United States in 1851. He.
was born near the home of John
Bright and John Jo-enh Gurney.
then famous Friends. and was named
after the latter. Although his fath-
er_ was a member of the Church
of England he always was a. great
admirer of the Society of Friends'
church in America.
During the early years of his life
he was connected with the firm of
'1‘. C. Maxwell 8: Brothers. in the
nursery business at Geneva.’ N. Y.
There he received his early training
in flower culture and grew to love
the “queen of flowers" above all
others.“
About fifty years ago he moved to
Richmond. where he has been in
business since. It was not until 1904
that he found two roses which he
felt were high grade enough to pre-
sent to the world. These were the
"General MacArthur" and the “Mn.
Theodore Roosevelt." In 1905 he
sent out the "Richmond" rose. An
international honor came in the
Paris gold medal for "Rhea Reid"
in 1908. as tested in the Bsgatells
Gardens. And since that time his
reputation has increased steadily.

there isn’t any doubt but that Hill
knows what he is talking about.
He has eighteen greenhouses at
his plants west of Richmond. In
these various bonus the roses are
developed and grown. One house
is set: aside for experimental pur-
poses. and there the various seed.
tings from many kinds of roses are
worked together and tried out. Hill
has been five years developing "Am.
erim". There isn't a new rose any-
where which isn't tested by Hill
.and tried in various combinations
with others.

Then there are certain types of
plants which will not thrive in all
parts of the country. The newer
varieties _of the mock ounce. of
which there are many. he said. and
the various kinds of lilacs should
be more freely used in diaerent. parts
of the United states as they thrive
and are very beautiful if properly
cared for. For porches and pillars
the Mcburlana of roses will make it
fine feature. In the middle West
especially this type will thrive and
add much to the beauty and value
of a home. The regressa type is also
very suitable for ornamental pur-
poses. It produces a scarlet effect.
The World War had its effect on
home flower gardens. according to
‘Hlll. who declares that many peo-
ple who never thought of it before
haverfound pleasure and have been
able to forget the horrors of the war

“Plant flowers. bushes and trees

message to all the people. ’

In spite of the general rumor to

bootlegger worthy of the name
would deprive his customers of their
daily drink even though he had to
make it himself. says the Bridge-
port Telegram.
And this is , precisely what the
bootleggerssi‘c doing. according to
the report of Federal Prohibition
Director Candeld of New York. Hear
him: “Unless you have a steel
stomach duly guaranteed to with-
stand eating liquids, unless you have
iron kidneys ceriiCed to resist burn-
ing liquors, unless you have a. metal-
lic heart assured to absorb abnormal
action and unusual reaction. and
unless you have an asbestos covered
liver attested to be immune from
ulcohollc diseases. don't drink the
fraudulent and intoxicating liquors
being paddled and sold by the boot-
leggers. Out of every hundred bot-
tlgI of liquor sold as real whiskey or
gin. only one has any legitimate re-
lationship to real liquor.”
According to Government Chemist
Quillen. the percentage of straight
whiskey sold the public since» pro-
hiblton has fallen from 60 per cent.
the first year to 1 per cent. at the
present time. That is to say. not
more than 1 per centh pure. prop-
erly distilled and aged fit for hu-\
man consumption. The other 90 per‘
cent. are “noxious. unphoiesome.
semi-poisonous. synthetic whiskeys
