fever this past spring has demon
strated the d%esirability of a detention
hospital. Not a pest house" but a
hospital to which any respectable
citizen need not feel ashamed to go.
The proposition received additional
force from the number of small pox
cases and a few instances of erysipe-
las.
Such a hospital would be a great
beneht to the whole community. I'm
der our present system of quarantine
our health officers are almost power
less to prevent the spread of a con-
tagious disease. Wherever the quar-
antine label is attached the neighbors
are in constant danger of exposure
and may carry the germs to other
parts of the city A detention hos
pital would render it possible to so
Genuine the disease as to almost en-
tirely eliminate the danger of con-
tagion to others.
Such a hospital would be of bene-
fit to the members of the afflicted
family. AS it is now, generally all
the members are placed under quar-
antine. This subjects them in parti-
cular to the grave danger that the
whole family may be affected by the
disease. Occasionally the one or the
other healthy member is permitted
to leave before quarantine is declar-
ed. This often prevents the loss of
income to the w~age-earner and ena-
bles the BUSINESS man to look after
his interests, but it also requires ex-
ira expense for board and lodging.
With a detention hospital the pa
tient would De removed from the
home. All the other members would
be at liberty to go in and out at
pleasure and the additional expense
for outside board and lodging would
be saved which means much in a case
of protracted illness. ....
A detention hospital would be of
benefit to the patient. The advan-
tages of a hospital over the home in
case OF sickness are recognized more
and more. Here the patient woul5
receive the proper attention of a
trained nurse. Proper diet, proper
ventilation, proper baths would be
provided for, which can often not be
done in the house. The peculiar
wants of convalescent patients, which
plying family-members are in the
habit of satisfying. contrary to the
instructions of the attending physi-
clan, would not be considered in the
hospital. thus preventing a fatal re-

Sixteen of the lady friends of Mrs.
T. FL. Kelley perpetrated a very hap
Ply surprise on her the latter part of
last week. Mrs. Kelley expects to,
leave in the course of another
week for the coast country to make
her home for the present, and these
good friends desired to express
something of their regard for her,
consequently they got together and
prepared some nice eatables, and at
$ o'clock in the afternoon they call
ed at the Kelley residence on Third

ton as to the surprise of Mrs. KEEL
ley when the friends reached her
home, but she made the most of the
situation, and provided them witch
chairs on the porch to enjoy the hour
before the fine lunch was served.
Pleasing conversation was engaged
for the hour, while the committee
went to the Kitchen to prepare the
luncheon, and when ready the
guests were invited to the dining
room, where a fine spread was serv-
eel. After the refreshments were ov-
er Mrs. James Lyons, on behalf of
the friends, presented Mrs. Kelley
with a handsome solid silver souve-
mir fork, which she said conveyed to
a small degree the friendly feeling
that they had for her and wished the
best of success in her new home in
California. Mrs. Kelley and the
children expect to leave the latter
part of the month for Berkely, Cal,
where the children will be placed in
school.

that sometime he would succeed in Sc
curing a complete set.

state Pension Agent George +.
Dodge of Carmel has inaugurated the
practice of sending the vouchers with
the pension certificates directly from
his Office to the pensioner instead of
to the town and city treasuers, as for
merly. The pensioner presents the
vouchers to the treasurer of the
municipality where he or she resides
as they are substantially orders upon
the treasurer to pay money. The
State pension agent is sending out let
ters to the treasurers, some of whom
seem in doubt about the matter, in
forming them that they can pay the
vouchers when properly signed by the
pensioner at the close of the quarter
specified. as the vouchers upon pay
ment become receipts for the towns
reimbursement.
The State pension agent has receiv-
ed of late numerous inquiries in re-
gard to payment of State pensions to
those residing outside the State. He
is sending out the following statement
in reply to all such inquiries:
No State pensions can be granted
to, or paid to those residing outside
the State Pensioners temporarily
away on visits or on business lines for
short periods can upon return to place
of residence be paid awards in the
lawful manner. In all cases where
pensioners have moved out of the
State the certificate will be revoked

By THE GOVERNOR.
A Proclamation.

The return of the season of seed time
reminds us that We may become cola
borers Will; the Giver of every perfect
gift in assisting Nature To adorn the
earth ana bring happiness into the
lives of our felloWmen.
/. therefore. pursuant to the statutes
of this State, hereby designate Friday.
the 10Th day of May, as Arbor Day
and | recommend that it be observed
by the people of our State in the
planting of trees. shrubs and vines, in
the adornment of public and private
grounds. places and ways, and in such
other efforts and undertakings as shall
be in harmony with the general char
aeter of the day.
One Of the most valuable of our ma
tural resources is our great forest
area, not only as a commercial pro-
duct but one that greatly assists in
conserving the waters of our rivers
and causing a more even distribution
throughout the season. A large pOr-
ton of the most valuable of these for
ests has been cut off and hills that
were once the admiration of all who
looked upon them now show great
scars where the woodsman's AK and
saw have done their work and black
patches caused by fires stand out as
blots on the otherwise beautiful land
Scape.
We cannot correct the errors of the
past but tine present Is ours and for
the future we are also responsible. We
can teach the children to love the trees
of Maine,
Love for nature, for the shrubs, flow
ers and trees should be inculcated In
the youth Of our State and trust that
in our schools the teachers will on Ar
Dor DAY impress upon the minds of the
boys and girls the many ways in
which they can do an important part
in giving our State greater charm
and making it more dear to all its
people The planting of the tree and
the sowing of the seed should be fol
lowed by exercises that will make the
dav distinctive in the lesson that il
teaches.
The homes and farms. the parks and
highways Of our State should hear

their future beauty and utility were
kept in mind by those in whom their
stewardship had heen placed. This we
