SENDS ANTITOxIN TO MANY DOCTORS

Enough antitoxin for 400 cases
of diptheria was dispersed through
the State Health Department by
the physicians of the State during
November. In addition to this,
probably as much again was pur-
chased from the regular drug
stores, so that at least 800 persons
were treated with antitoxin during
the month.
The distribution of this antltoX-
in has been one of the very impor-
tant tasks undertaken by the State
health authorities during recent
months. As every syringe of anti
toxin represents so much power to
ward off and cure disease, health
officials have been endeavoring to
circulate it as widely as possible
BY forwarding his request to the
State Board of Health, every mem
Der of every Board of Health anc
private physician ia the State can
secure the antito1in, at very low
cost, for use in ildigent cases OF
cases in which its purchase would
be a hardship.
The State Hea tn COMMISSIONS
is greatly pleased with the results
of last months antitoxin work. In
a statement given out by him, he
SAYS: "The distribution and use OF
this amount of antitoxin is a great
factor in health work. 1t means
that many deaths were prevented
and that vast amount of sickness
and suffering were saved to the
people of the state. The people
realize what antitoxin will do fol
the cure and prevention at dipther-
ia and they are demanding its gen
eral use. One of the most pleasing
features of the campaign has beer
the readiness with which the coun'
ties of the State are preparing tc
distribute antitoxin to their indl'
gent patients. More than 20 coun'
ties now issue the remedy, free o.
cost, to indigents, and Others art
preparing to follow their example
We believe that the fight agains
diptheria will ultimately result in
practical eradication of the dis
ease"

THREE MILLION MATCHES
ARE STRUCK EACH MINUTE,

By the end of the brief minute
taYen to read these paragraphs the
nations of the civilized world will
have struck three million natehoe'-,
This is the average for every min
ute of the twenty-four hours of the
dav. Seven billion is the enor-
nous number for che entire year,
and those living under the Amerl-
can flag are said to be responsible
for the consumption of one-half OF
this amount.
The Importance of the industry
which turns out the little splinters
of wood tipped with sulphur or
some other material ignited by frlc-
ton is only recognized when the
average smoker tries to contem-
plate his predicament if he had to
90 back to the time when he had
to coax a spark from a finder box.
IOf course, the answer is, he would
smoke a great deal less because OF
the difficulty in getting a light, or
else. on the other hand, smoke con-
tinuously in order to keep alive the
fire at the end of his stogie or Ha-
vana, pipe or cigarette, as the case
might be.
Small and insignificant as it is,
: the match demands perhaps as
much attention in the choice OF the
wood going into its manufacture as
any other forest product. Only
: the choicest portions of the best
trees are suitable. Sapwood,.
knotty or cross grained timber Will
: not do. Instead of being a by
product of otner articles of manu-
facture the little match is turned
r ont at hundreds of mills over the
i country where the by-products are
$ bulky objects like doors, SASH
t shinglet, siding, posts and cord
+ wood. The pines, linden, aspen'
t white cedar, poplar, birch and will
S low are the most suitable mtach

= servation, if applied to the holdings

A gentleman who was at Winthrop
Thursday afternoon said yesterday
that one of the prettiest sights which
he had witnessed for a long while was
afforded by a large flock of gulls at
Lake Nkranocook. The gulls We're of
the large kind known as herring gulls,
bird common along the New Eng
land coast. and there We're fully 100
of them in the flock. They were doubt
less attracted to the lake by the thou
sands of dead smelts which were float
ing on the surface. and We're busly
engaged in getting their fill of the lit
tie fish. Solitary individuals and
sometimes groups of three or four of
these gulls are often seen around in
land waters, and as far north as
MoosehCad lake, but they seldom come
in such large nocks as they did at
Maranocook Thursday. 1t is possible
that the large amount of feed afford
ed by the dead smelts may have been
discovered by one gull, and that he
IN gull language impaired to the others
of his race the information regarding
his find. These birds are strong flyers
ard it does not take them long to make
their way from the coast inland.
