The fourth quarterly meeting of tbs
state Board of Health, was held in
the depart ment at the State House.
Monday, all being present. except Mr
E. c. Jordan. who was called to Boston
The secretary, DR.. A. G. Young, re-
ported upon the diptheria epidemic in
the NADIA waska region, and the action
the board had taken in sending 2 doc
tor to help the local boards at Fort
Kent and adjoining plantations; when
the doctor left the region, only two
cases were present. Early in Deccm-
Der, the local board at Fort Kent re-
ported that there We're no cases in the
town, and other reports showed that
there We're no cases in the surround
ing country. There has been some
prevalence in the past few weeks, and
three deaths have been reported to the
State board.
The secretary also reported on the
outbreak of diphtheria in Mapleton.
and surrounding towns, and the action
he took in connection with the out :
break in Lewiston, and one in Whiting
Areport was made by the board which
attended the American Public Health
Association at Philadelphia. in regard
to the transactions of the meeting. -
DR.. Smith as the boards committee
on antitoXin and vaccine material. re-
ported the results of his examinations
of the antitoXin establishments of
milford 4 Co., in Philadelphia, and
that of Parke. Davis & Co, in Detroit.
and he stated that the output of these
two establishments is perfectly trust
worthy. and is now preferable for
American practitioners to that derived
from European laboratories, for the one
reason at least, that it is received in
a fresher condition. 49,.
A special committee, cons ting of DR..
Wedgewood, DR.. A. r. G. Smith ana
Dr. Young. was chosen to- consider the
action to be taken in connection with
unusual outbreaks of contagious dis
cases. and such as that which occurred
in the Madawaska region.

THE NATIONAL GUARD,
Medals and Prizes to Rewird Faithful
-, 49,, Attendance At Drills


The opening of the new year. will see
some important changes, ,inaugurated
One of. the evils now existing in the
| Guard has been the poor attendance al
ordinary drills and meetings. for theor
| retieal obstruction. Only. for a coupis
of months or SO before camp has the
attendance been what it should be
Gen. Richards has been wrestling with
this problem, and has decided upon
two things to help remedy it.
One is to grant medal to every
officer or enlisted man who has a per-
feet record of attendance at all mill
tary duties whatever for one calendar
year. with an additional bar for each
succeeding year of perfect attendance.
Abundant safeguards have. been
thrown around the issuing of this
medal, SO that it may never be granted
to an unworthy man.
The second thing decided upon to i'll
crease attendance is to order that Gen
NewcOmb shall make a competitive in
spection of the different companies and
corps. A blank form has been care
fully drawn up. which will be used by
the general on his next trip. and a copy
has been sent to each company for its
information. The general will mark
the different points concerning each
company according to a system which
is fully explained on the FORM. and
when his inspection is finished he will
transmit. the form: properly filled out.
to the adjutant general. When the en-
tire guard has been inspected the
markings CT the organiZa tions in every
subject will be tabulated. and the
troops arranged according to order OF
general merit. This standing is TO ba
published in orders during parade at
the annual encampment, al which time
prize Will be presented to the COM
pany or corps which comes out ahead.
Under the proposed system COM
pany cannot receive high rating
without a great deal of hard work pre-
vious to the inspection. and it is be-
lieved that preparation for inspection
will be an incentive to better attend
ance and harder work. The plan ha
been used in Wisconsin for several
years, and has produced excellent re-
suits
If captains would cooperate with the
adjutant general and see that their
companies have progressive and va
ried programme of drill from night. 10
night. there is no doubt that our
troops would before many years come
up to the standard of some of tie
crack regiments in other states. where
a record of from So to 100 per cent. Of
attendance at each drill is made right
along. ''
Gen. Richards has also adopted d
new form of monthly return. which
will go into effect in January. 1t is
modelled on, that used by the regular
army. and will take the place of the
morning report blank. the report of in
struction. and the monthly report Of
strength now in use The change WIFI
save clerical labor. and will enable the
adjutant general to know just what
every company and regiment has been
