An Alarm and a Warming.

Doctor Lucien Stark of Nebraska.

and the country as well. He declares
that this disease is worse than small
pox but he believes there is cure for
the malady when it shall have been
discovered. These alarmist theories.
however, are not fully credited by
other doctors.
Doctor Stark pronounces the disease
contagious, dangerous and difficult to
cure, and advises isolation in every
instance. He says that many physi-
clans confuse this infantle disease
with spinal meningitis. He declares it
even worse than meningitis-worse
than smallpox-more contagious than
any other plague on earth except
cholera, yellow fever or bubonic
plague He says absolute quarantine
is the only method of handling the
disease. and declares that the most
certain proofs of the fact that it is
,! contagious is that it follows ii railroad
from town to town and leaves dead
ly imprint wherever it spreads.
Doctor Stark believes the disease
can be easily conquered if taken early,
and recommends as treatment the
puncture of the spinal cord at the base
and the withdrawal Of % minims Of
the fluid salt solution to the amount
of II minims is then injected, and the
rest of the treatment consists almost
entirely of massage. He says that a
spray of glycothymoline two or three
times day and complete isolation of
the children is the best preventive of
the disease, which is contracted
through the nose and throat.
While this alarm may be exaggerat-
ed and serious in it's import to the
public. it's result may be beneficial in
that it will create a tendency toward
preventive measures and prompt at
tention and isolation of every sus-
pected case in our own city as well as

Aruus and Saqadahoc,

Another propitiOus special from New
Meadows Inn to the Portland Argus
of Friday reads cheerfully to Repub-
licans. who recall that Argus political
specials prophesy always things that
turn out the other way.
The Argus heading We'll Win in

more modest line. which states 1T
| Looks Decidedly Democratic in
| County and these two heads are
given away by the last. which reads
| Busy Workers All Make Fine Re-
ports"
Upon reading this first page special,
| we learn that certain Democratic office
seekers of Sagadahoc county Thursday
met at New Meadows Inn for a dinner,
after which they had a smoke talk at
which there was some plain talk
Not a man present" writes the Ar
gus special, could see anything but
a Democratic victory" which cheerful
vision was natural after the Demo-
cratic stomachs had been filled with
| things Democratic Landlord Cahill
had provided.
But each was conservative" the
Argus hurriedly adds-which is en-
couraging. for Sagadahoc Democrats
have invariably heretofore been radi-
cally reckless,-"and pleaded the Ar
gus special says, that good hard work
be done so that there may be no slip.
up"
So Democrats are pleading" to each
other to forget their rows and hard
feeling that there may be no slip-up."
1t is not so rosy as the head line
states!
The Argus would have Maine Swal-
low it's assertion that the voters of
Sagadahoc. which depends on ship
building, milling and agriculture. will
vote to put in power party that re-
fuses and opposes aid to shipping and
help to shipyards. party which would

The Argus would have Maine believe

tical head they foolishly chopped off at
their recent Topsham convention
that a party of such leaders" utterly
incapable of leading and without any
following of any consequence, an al
most negligible minority in the county
vote,-the Argus would try to encour-
age it's readers by asserting that such
party will win in Sagadahoc''

Democracy openly in it's platform, it's
papers and on the stump threatens to
put through policies if given power
that would rob Bath voters and Saga
dahoc mill workers and farmers of
their wages and work and prosperity?
The Argus VIGOROUSLY foretells what
never comes to pass.
Sagadahoc will throw an increased
plurality for Gov. Fernald and will
elect Republicans to the legislature
