AT the meeting of the State Board of
Health, held at the State House, yes
terday one of the principal matters for
action was the adoption of measures
for the prevention of the introduction
of smallpox infection from New Bruins
wick into this State. For some tine.
smallpox has been present in the neigh
borhood around Fredericton Junction.
Until recently, it's true nature was not
recognized, and even lately, the dis
agreement among the local doctors as
to the diagnosis of the malady has pre-
vented efficient work. The cases have
recently been seen by the secretary of
the provincial board, and he has pro-
nOunced it smallpox.
AS this epidemic not only threatens
the State of Maine, but the other New
England states to which much of the
travel goes, the secretary of the board
was instructed to apply to the sur
geon general of the public health and
marine hospital service at Washing
ton. to establish an inspection station
at the port of Vanceboro. Mean
while, the State Board of Health has
established a provisional service, and
has already, through previous Arrange
ments and telegram to Vanceboro,
set the machinery in operation. DR..
NJ. L. Young of Nanceboro. who has
formerly served as inspector for both
the state Board of Health and the
United States government. is in charge
of the situation. The rules and reSu-
lations establishing this station may be
found in the Journals advertising col
umns.
The State Board of Health has always
advocated congressional Legislation
providing for governmental control
of our food supplies. Its reasons for
this are that this work can thus much
more effectively and economically be
done for the whole country than IL
can by State authorities, even II It
should be possible to secure legislative
provision for this work in all the states.
The determination of what action snail
be taken by the board In regard to the
bill, which is to be introduced by Sen
ator Hepburn was left with the special
committee of the board appointed
year ago.
Official notification has been re-
ceived at the office of the adjutant
general of the reelection of Capt. G.
F.. Garcelon to the command of Co. ID,
I'd Infantry. n. G. S. NJ, of Lewiston,
| which was held at the armory of the
company, in that city, Tuesday eve
