 of vaccination. The disease is Dracti- cally driven out of Germany because of the laws there. 4 child must be vaccinated when it is quite small, again when it it about five or six years, and again when the age of majority is reached So that case of smallpox is nowadays never heard of in the Kaiser's realm. In the British Isles the law requires all children to e vaccin- ated when they are about year old, and no one is allowed to land in this country without having been yaccin- ated. All emigrants are examined q few days before reaching land and all who are not vaccinated, are vaccinated within the hour. So that taking every thing into consideration, all the statis- tics, stories, fears and everything else regarding vaccination, it will be found that the majority of the intelligence of the whole world stands in favor of vaccination.

 Just at this time when the smallpox scare is hurting business q good way to check it and wipe it out is to prac tice right living and be scrupulously clean. Here are a few pointers on what to eat, and the condition the body should be kept in If infectious disease is in the vicinity it should be remembered that pure blood contains bodies that will combat disease germs These bodies are the white corpuscles and they will enwrap and actually de- your the fatal bacilli of levers and similar diseases. So it is we'll to keep the vital fluid in health by charging 1t strongly with the pure acids of fruits and vegetables. One of the best germicides, however, is again the onion the use of which should not be neglected when fever is about. The cabbage, the caulifiower, the leek, all contain salts and are not only anti scorbutic, but are against germs of evil. They render the blood healthy and strong, so enabling it to combat mi crobes. Watercress contains much iron, and this is real blood medicine. People who desire to have good com plexions should eat of it abundantly, because it is q destroyer of pimples,

MORE REED INSTRUMENTS.
Leader Strickland Dwells Upon a
Need of Our Bands.

II. l.. Strickland, the well known Au-
gusta band leader, in speaking with
journal representative, the other day,
dwelt with much emphasis upon the
need of more players of reed instlu-
ments in our bands. l. is not only
weakness of our Augusta bands, he
says. but Of all our Maine bands and OF
American bands generally. There are
too many brass instruments in proper
ton to the number of reed instruments,
and the result is as though the male
singers far outnumbered the sopranos
in a mixed chorus. Thus while many
of our bands are first class in time.
tune. expression and solo work, nearly
all of them are weak in orchestration.
All of our band leaders recognize this
and seek earnestly to remedy II, but
most learners fear that reed fnstru-
ments are harder to play and so aN 1id
them. Mr.. Strickland declares that
these learners are needlessly friShi r
ened. 1t used to be true also that -.
instruments were more expensive tn n
brass instruments. but this dOes not
hold true today. The reed instruments
OF a well equipped band are pi,plo. l.
fat Clarinet, 3 flat Clarinet, flute, oboe,
soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxo-
phones. and bassoon.
Mr.. Strickland is enthusiastic over
the work of his three organizations, the
Olympia Lafayette and Bodwel
bands. The latter which was organ
lied, few months ago, at the Halo
well quarries will soon be combined, as
was planned at the start, with the
Olympia of this city and it will make q
strong aggregation. Both the Olympia
and Lafayette have a number of good
enga gements ahead. The former i:
