No Suitable Date for Annual Chest Clinic Special to Post-Crescent New London That it is improbable that a suitable date can be arranged for the annual chest clinic usually conducted by the Wisconsin Anti Tubercolosis association and sponsored here by the New London Improvement league was stated this week by Mrs. Carrie'Hooper, president of the league. In arranging dates it was found that the only date available was Nov. 6 which fell on election day.
Since election is held in this city at the city hall and since there is no other suitable place at which the clinic could be held it is doubtful that a chest clinic can be obtained for New London. eimnNusnKLMi; Li" CUSTOM OF SERVICE SHIPS SALUTING, IN PASSING -SSN-' MOUNT VEGNON, WAS BEGUN BY THE 'M1' BRITtSH. during THE WAX OP B2 4 fWfr INDIANS OF THE EARLY DAVS, SPARED nf 7H THE LIVES OF CHIPMUNKS 7 J0 -E BECAUSE THEY WERE THOUGHT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR f-- HEAUNG HERBS AND ROOTS IN the ARCTIC, BECAUSE OP THE SHORT SUMMERS.
