MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS
Considered at Meeting, Thursday, of
the State Board Of Health.

A meeting of the State Board of Health
was held, Thursday, at the secretary's
office, at which several matters of con-
siderable Importance We're up for con-
sideration. The first matter under CON
sideration was what precautionary meas
ures shall be taken to forestall the inn
portation of bubonic plague into our
State from Porto Rico, Cuba or any 9TH
er place where it is present.
Nowadays. In the light of what is
known about the ways in which plague
is spread and its Infection is commu-
nicated to man, the picture of the dan
ger from that disease is very different
from what it was formerly. That dread
malady is now considered first and es-
sentially a disease of various species of
rodents. including rats, and from them
it may be communicated by tieas, acting
as Intermediates between diseased rats
and human beings The problem of safe
guarding against the Importation of in
lection is, therefore. more the preven-
ton of the Importation and landing of
plague infected rats than it is of the
admission of persons suffering from that
disease.
The secretary of the board and the
committee on quarantine of the State
Board of Health We're instructed to learn
what additional precautionary measures
should be arranged for at our ports of
entry, and particularly at some of the
smaller ports, where there is POSSIBLE
ity of the entry of ship from some in-
fected place without the observance of
efficient safeguards against the landing
of rats from such vessels which may be
the carriers of infection. In connection
with this work the secretary was in
structed to communicate with the sur
geon general of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service at Washing
ton.

The Council fixed upon Aug. 10, at

next meeting
Defends Malaga Island Action.
DR.. G. C. Kilgore- of Belfast. ad-
dressing the Council said that he de-
sired to call his brother Councillors
attention to a portion of the annual
report of Alexander P. Mcdonald,
missionary for the Maine Sea Coast
Missionary Society which referred to
the Malaga Island and Long Island
colonies. He read the following:
"One of the dangers of all benevo-
lent efforts is that of pauperizing the
people 1t is difficult sometimes 10
give away even secondhand clothing
without encouraging it. That man is
an adept in the art of giving who can
do SO without being imposed upon.
Our State has been very generous in
the care of orr poor. but the State has
been IMP ssed upon, Many persons

out of the unfortunate ones caused
much needless expense to our State
Ne are glad that the State officials
have taken in hand the settlement of
the pauper question on Malaga Is
land by scattering the inmates and
providing fer them in State institu-
tons. This colony of eolored people
was a disgrace to our coast. and the
method of management a disgrace to
our State
I'VE were able to cooperate with
the State in adjusting conditions In
other places, transporting in our boat
a member of the Governors Council,
the Governors messenger and court
officials and officers appointed to deal
with these pauper questions. Thus the
CRATER has been checked, the able
bodied boys and girls have been set
to work, true worth is recognized and
given self-respectiBg labor. and every
effort is being made to keep persons
from becoming paupers. We have
saved the State many hundreds of
dollars by caring for persons who
would have become paupers without
the timely assistance of the mission"
Councillor Kilgore then went on to
describe, with some detail. the condi-
tions that We're found at Long Island.
saying that 40 people have been cost
in the state from $700 to $500 quar-
ter, that men have been grating from
the State. in some instances to the
tune of $500 year. and that in his
opinion there still remained some very
important work to be done in that
section.

The new legislation in the state of
Massachusetts which forbids the shipping
into that state of meat from slaughter
houses in other states where there is no
inspection of the earcasses to determine
whether they are diseased or are in a
fit condition for food has been creating
so much anxiety among the local BUTCH
ers in this State that to help them out
the State Board of Health has found it
necessary to take some action. The sec
rotary, who had recently been in CONSUL
tation with the secretary of the State
Board of Health of Massachusetts, re-
ported to the board the results of his talk
with Dr. Richardson of the Massaehu-
sets board.
The secretary is now prepared to adj
wise persons who are Strengthening ant
mails for shipment to Massachusetts and
the local boards of health of their towns
how they MAY cooperate with each 9th
er and with the State Board of Health
in arranging for a system of inspection
which will satisfy the health department
of Massachusetts. A circular letter will
be sent out Immediately to persons who
think their interest may be affected and
to the local boards of health and the
State Board of Health would be glad to
receive the names and addresses of per-
sons who are interested in the matter.
The secretary made verbal statement
regarding the matters which came up
for consideration at the conference be-
tween the surgeon general of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service and
representatives of the State Boards of
Health. Among the matters which were
discussed at that conference We're the
control of typhoid fever and cerebro
spinal meningitis, and the examination
of disinfectants for the purpose of de-
termining their true germicidaI value
In connection with this matter the state
adopted and approved the method of
standardizing disinfectants which had
been perfected in the hygienic laboratory
of the United States Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service
Another topic, which was under consid-
GRAFTON, was the report of the New York
milk committee. a conference on the
milk problem, held under the auspices
of this committee in New York City, in
December. 1910, resulted in the adoption
of resolution requesting this commit
tee to appoint a commission on milk
standards to consist of representative
experts from different sections of the
United States.
The commission which was appeiuted
carried ON an exhaustive study of milk
standards for nearly year. 1t was the
report of this commission which was
considered by the State Board of Health,
Mr. Evans, the director of the state lab
ara f4f
board and advising it on some points
The result was that the State Board of
Health unanimously and very heartily
approved the report. They consider it a
very valuable piece of work
