Bath Independent. We are glad to
note that the State Board of Health
has made protest against the use of
common drinking cups in railway
trains. We believe that this is some
thing which ought to be stopped.
There's nothing, in our way of thinking
so likely to spread disease as this GUS
tom. Let individual cups be carried or
none at all. There is no good reason
why cities and the State should spend
large sums of money in trying to stamp
out disease when such causes as this
are allowed to exist. At first there
might be little fault finding done by
a few but that would amount to moth
ing. Common drinking cups are one of
the greatest menances to health we
have in Maine TO-DAY

Got it From Skowhegan. Maine"
Mrs PAMELA l.. York has a cat that
counts her kittens A few days ago
the old cat left her kittens in the box
by the stove and went out to catch
some field mice for them. When she came
back she looked into the box. nodding
her head along the box as if counting.
Suddenly she turned from the box and
went to her mistress and meowed most
pitifuly. The cat then went back to
the box. Mrs. York following. When
the cat reached the box she again went
through the form of counting her kit
tens. and meowed again. Mrs. York
had given one of the kittens away, and
as if talking to child she told the old
cat to whom she had given the kitten.
Mrs. York thought no more of it until
the next morning. when she went to the
box and there was that kitten! She was
surprised. for she had given the kitten to
Mrs. Alexander II. Green. who lives out
in the country five miles. 1t seems that
the old cat had gone and lugoed her kit
