STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Quarterly Meeting Yesterday and Important
Matters Discussed.

At the second quarterly meeting of
the State Board of Health held, yes
tcrday, at the state House. the fol-
lowing members We're present: DR.. G.
d. Smith. Portland; Prof +. c. Robin
son. brunswick; DR.. NJ. {. Wedgewood
Lewiston: Or. y. Il. q. Smith. North
Whitefield; and the secretary. TIL
secretary reported to the board the ac-
tion which he had taken in connection
with the late threatened invasion Of
smallpox in the northern part OF the
State.
The president Of the board. who at
tended the conference Of state ANA
provincial boards Of health at Atlantic
City. y. j., made his report to the
board on the work done at the con
ference. One Of the principal topics
for consideration by the conference
was the sanitation Of schools. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of the members;
present that the closure Of schools is
usually not the best way of controll-
ing outbreaks of infectious diseases.
and that such action is seldom ncces
sary ana rarely advisable. a long and
Interesting discussion took place upon
the subject of distinction and the
practical methods pursued by the diff
ferent state boards of health partic
ularly with reference to formaldehydc
diSinfection.
The committee on legislation for the
State Board of Ic3iftll- was instructed
to draw up Il bill to be presented to the
eXt Legislature which shall authorize
the State Board of Health to make
rules and regulations relative to the
precautionary measures which shall be
taken in connection with the Transport
tation of the bodies of persons who
have died from infectious diseases. As
the rules and regulations on this sub
jcct, which We're, some years ago, ap-
proved by the conference Of state
boards Of health, have been adopted
and put into operation in a large num-
Der Of the states. and have also been
adopted by most Of the railway sys-
TENS, it is the wish Of the board to be
enabled to form rules and regulations
bearing upon this subject which will
be as nearly as possible uniform with
those which are used in the other
states.
TWO communications We're presented
to the board which had been received
| indicating that two of the principal
| lines of railway in this country. at
| least. are making an earnest and in
| tcligent inquiry into the best modern
methods of disinfecting the cars in
| their service. Each of these railways
| has engaged the services of competent
| scientific men to determine for them
| efficient methods of freeing their cars
| from infection.

STATE HOUSE.
Significant Observances of Old Home
Week at Clinton,
GIeanings From the Different Departments at
the Capitol.

Inc Investigations of Hon. s. w
Matthews. secretary of the Maine Old
liome Week Association, show that the
principal celebrations will be held in
Portland. Bath and Rockland. Among
the other attractions arranged for
these cities will be the presence of the
North Atlantic squadron. In addition
there will be enough to attract the
largest possible number.
When the people have visited those
places. they may return to their old
homes and pass the remainder Of the
week in quietneSS Although there is
no evidence that there will be such n
spread in the other places. yet it will be
the form of Il reception that the people
from other states will most welcome
In many places the celebration will be
an ssemblage in some hall. or Il gath
ering, quiet but none the less crafty
ing. at which the people who have
gone away will be able to meet their
old towns people.
1t is doubtful if any place in the
state will have more cause for an OBJ
SerVance than Clinton. Nearly a year
ago Hon. w. w. Brown of Portland
announced that he should give a free
public library and building to the
town. Mr.. Brown was born in Clinton
and has always manifested a great in
terest in the town. He has carried out
his expressed intention and the library
building is now completed. The only
thing lacking is that the building be
dedicated. The library is being ar
ranged and that work will be COM
pleted in 4 short time. The towns
!. nDlr have thought no more suitable
tinc could be arranged for the dedica-
ton than during Old Home week. and
50 have decided on that date for the
exercises. Then a large number Of
the former people will have returned
to the town for the week. In the
presence Of these people the exercises
will take place.
