The White PLAQUE
Considered Tuesday by the
State Board of Health,
Board Encouraged by Interest
In Its Exhibits al the Fairs.
Antitoxin Law Now in Effect and
Working Very Smoothly.

The State Board OF Health met yes
tcrday at the State House and consid-
cred various questions relating to
tuberculosis which have d bear
ing upon the success of the cam
paign against this disease. The opin-
ion which the secretary expressed on
one of these points, that the very great
majority of cases OF human tuberculo-
sis originate from the infection from
other tuberculous persons, was unani-
mously supported by the board, and it
is the opinion of the board that it is
very desirable to concentrate very
largely the forces in the fight against
tuberculosis directly against the spread
OF the infection from infected human
beings.
The secretary reported that at the
three State fairs, and at other place
where the exhibit of the board on
tuberculosis had been shown, the peO-
pie had shown an amount of interest
in the matter which is very gratifying
and encouraging to the board, and the
secretary was authorized to make some
further expenditures in improving thu
exhibit and in sending it to Other
places in the State. And he was alsC
authorized to extend the exhibit tf
school hygiene. rural hygiene, anc
hygiene of children.
The secretary reported that the an
titoXin law has gone into use very sue
ccssfully and smoothly 50 far as he car
learn. a letter was received from the
South Carolina Board Of Health invit-
ing the Maine board to take part in q
conference to be held in South Caro-
lima on the subject of pellagra, which
is disease found to have wide ant
fatal prevalence in a pretty large num-
Der OF states. Though the Maine
board is interested in the subject anG
is watching this disease it is deemed
inexpedient to incur the expense OF
| sending a representative to this con
ference.
The Health Department of Pcnnsy!-
vania called the attention Of the Maine
board to the fact that the existence OF
anticipating laws in so many OF thf
states had made it difficult for the
through transportation lines to comply
with the diverse requirements of tho
boards of health in the various states
through which they pass. The conse-
quencc is that the requirements of sc
many boards would badly deface tht
cars and cause them to look like fences
for bill posters, if eight or ten sets OF
rules were posted on each coach. |,
was suggested that the various states
agree upon the following as placard
for general use in all the states, to
wit:
The laws of the different states for
bid splitting in public places under
penalty"
This suggestion received the approx
al of the board

Charles kIein's Latest Play, "Ths
Third Degree" Tonight.

OSS'SSt boSuSues
One of the most notable productions
of the curren. season is, undoubtedly
Charles Kiein's latest \play, The
Third Degree" which Henry i. Har-
ris will present at the Opera house
tonight. Mr.. Klein is the author of
THE Lion and the Mouse" q play of
such dramatic strength that it at
tracted the attention of every theatre
goer in America, by reason of it's at
tack on the financial and political
| methods employed by those high in
| the councils of state and speculative
commerce. The story deals with Il
young man. who by reason of his mar
ridge to a girl of the people. is dis
| owned by his father member of the
old knickerbOcker set. Through the
death, under peculiar circumstances,
of a man, suspicion is laid upon the
boy by the police. who, challenged
for their inefticiency and cropping
| wildly for possible suspect, use
every effort in their power to fasten
tic chains of guilt upon him. His own
father refuses to come to his aid. The
girl, by force of character. woman's
| ingenuity and fearless courage, fights
SltlSle-nandeu against the powers tnat
have sworn to mako Eer husband a
| victim of misplaced justice. 50 virile
and at the same time striking are the
methods employed by Mr. Klein in
dealing with the situations, :hat tie
intensity of '"The Third Degree" has
seldom been equalleG in the annals of
the stage.
Prominent among those in the cast
are Marion Kerby. Margaret Drew,
James Seeley. George SeybOlt, Law
renee Eddinger. A. w. Ellis and others
equally as notable. Prices so, IS, $l00
& $50. Curtain rises promptly at s

HOW TO GET FAT.
Use Samose. Say Druggists Bowditch
Webster G. Co. and Put On Good Flesh

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of Il
simple and scientific method Of max
ing thin people fat, increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics. when carried to an extreme.
often result in straning the vital organs.
How much better it would be for the
average person to regain health strength
and flesh by using Samose. This flesh
forming food is assimilated soon as it
enters the stomach: it helps the organs
to assmilate the food and extract the
flesh forming elements: it builds up the
muscles and rounds out the limbs into
shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in MAX
ing thin people fat and restoring the
