First Act Under New
Insurance Laws.

The first attorney authorized under
the act passed by the recent Legisla-
ture namely: Chapter rs, An. Act re-
hating TO inter-insurers and authorizing
the business transacted thereby. was
declared with the required authority,
Monday, by State Insurance Commits
sioner Blunt. John c. Bardwell of St.
Louis. Mo-. was authorized as attorney
for the subscribers at Wholesale Groc-
ers Reciprocal Indemnity Exchange
This is law heretofore unknown in
this State. and one that has been put
in practice to greater extent in the
Western states. 1t is really system of
inter-lnsuring, whereby person or
persons, through the power of attorney,
insures himself or themselves The diff
fereic between this and a corporation
is seen on the face, the organizations of
persons is not a corporation, nor even a
partnership, only that a group of per-
sons, or even n single person, appoint
or give the power of attorney to anoth-
er persons, to whom they agree to pay
certain dividends in order To provide
indemnity from casualty and other
losses.
Section / of Chapter 1876 says: 1.-The
making OF contracts between individu-
ais, firms or corporations, providing in
demnity among each other from casu-
atty or other contingencies or from
loss or damage to their own property,
shall not constitute the business of in
suranee. except as herein provided, but
where such contracts are exchanged
through an attorney, agent or other
representative acting for such indiyid-
uals. firms or corporations the said at
torney. agent or other representative
shall file with the insurance commits
sioner of this State a declaration iii
writing. verified by the oath of such at
torney, agent or other representative
Section of the same chapter further
states that the said attorney shall be

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting Of Governor and
Council, Tuesday, July 20, 1918, 10
A. M. Special Session, Saturday,
Jutv 10.

The closest scrutiny of the referen-
dunn petitions on the Public Utilities
law by its many friends has, it is un-
derstood, brought to light defects,
which may or may not be material
when the validity of the petition is
tested. The defects have been called to
the attention of the Governor and in
accordance with the referendum law it
rests with the Governor to decide
whether the petition may be allowed or
not
The matter of paying solicitors to OBJ
tain signatures To the petition has not
met with strong favor among many,
and this matter in itself may be tried
in the courts. There is a strong inclina-
ton on the part of the many friends Of
the DILL To contest this procedure which,
il is understood, was used by the circu-
lators of the petition in the obtaining
the requisite 10000 names. Should the
courts decide against this method, the
efforts of the petitioners would be in
vain, but, however. it seems hardly
possible no matter how bad bill pass
ed b. the Legislature be, that 1DU06
people of the State volunteer their sig
natures, by coming to the office of the
secretary of State.
However, it is thought that the de-
fects were not of such nature as to
delay the action Of the petition. as the
Governor has stated that he will call a
special session of the Council and pro-
claim a special election at which the
people Of the State will vote on wheth-
er they wish to keep the Public Gtili-
tics law or do away with H.
A few of the defects found by the
friends of the bill We're that some of
the petitions We're not certified as they
should be. and others seemed to have
several names in the same handwrit-
ing, but however, this might be caused
by several reasons, and seems net To
affect the validity of the petition ma
teriaiy. Several other minor defects
We're found on the petitions which
v ould afford loophole for the uphold
ers Of the bill 10 demand that the Pc
tilion be thrown out.
That the friends Of the bill as we'll as
its enemies are intensely interested in
tie outcome of the special election, is
manifest by the increased conversation
aboEt the State Capitol.
lrasGueh as the Governor las seen
fit to state that he Will proclaim a spe-
cial election, ii would appear that the
matter of soliciting the signers of he
Pc tillon is the only protest left.

Meeting of State
Board of Health.

The secretary reported to the board
that within the last six or eight weeks
there have been but few serious cpl
demic outbreaks in the State, at a
meeting of the State Board of Health
which was held at the State House,
Monday. His records of the cases of
that disease which have been report
ed to him or which he has seen indi-
cate that there have been in the State
within the last two or three years a.
little over a dozen cases of pellagra.
Not many years ago that disease was
thought TO be very rare one indeed
in tins country: later it was found to
be seriously prevalent in the Southern
states, and within the last few years
has been found pretty frequently in
many If the Northern states. The
cases which have been found in Maine
have been in various parts of the
State from AroostooS to Cumberland
county and from oxford county to
some Of the seaboard towns.
Some of the newer powers and duties
of the State Board of Health which
were provided by the last Legislature
in a widening of the scope of the rules
and regulations Of the board were con-
Sidered: among others, the making OF
orders or regulations relating TO the,
control of the use of drinking cups, it
was deemed best to proceed carefully
in this work, and so these mattersI
were referred to one of the committees
of the board to do some preliminary
work. with instructions to report To theI
board at a special meeting which will
be held before long.
There was some discussion on the,
subject of disinfection. and the desir-
ability of a revision of the rules re-
lating to disinfectfon. This matter was
referred to Mr.. Evans, the director of
the labora tory. and the committee onl
the laboratory to consider the desira-
biiity and practicability of doing some
experimental work for the purpose of
testing few disinfectant preparations

his children from which quote as follows
"Our two-ycar-old BABY was very sc!

losing her. We had the best doctors
but they did not know what the trouble
was. In the first sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said it acted
like scarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think it could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DIR. True's Elixir was recommended.
and after two days use she passed several
worms from two to three inches in length,
and is now well and strong and sleeps at
nights withoutfretting, tossing and starting

the opinion handed to Deputy Stat
Sealer of Weights and Measures l.. 6
Pennell upon his request. by Attorne,
General Scott S. Wilson.
In relation TO Section one of Chap
ter 81 of the Public Laws of 1913, i
seems to me clear that it was the IN
tention of the Legislature to reqnir'
all dealers in milk to have all thei
bottles and jars sealed.
TT is true that although the act o
1913 expressly provides that all deal
ers in milk shall have their bottles OF
jars sealed, the only provision in tn
act which expressly imposes a penalty
on the dealer is in relation to bottle
purchased after it takes effect. Sc
that so far as this act is concerned. NJ
penalty is imposed on the dealer VIII
is using unsealed bottles purchased
previous to the taking effect of The
laws of 1913.
However. although Chapter 81 re.
peals Chapter pa of the laws of 1909
Chapter 254 was only an amendment
TO Section II of Chapter 80 of the Re
vised Statutes, and the repeal of thu
amendment leaves the section as
originally stood, and in Section III i,
found a penalty for using unseale'
bottles. In addition to that, an act
was passed in 1909. Chapter 242, which
is substantially the same as Section II
of Chapter SO of the Revised Statutes
and Section two of Chapter 242 of the
laws of 1909 was amended by Chap
ter So of the public laws of 1911, So
that as to local dealers, there seems
to be in force. in addition to Chapter
81 of the laws of 1913, the law as ex-
pressed in Section II Of Chapter SO o;
the Revised Statutes. and in Chaptel
30 of the public laws of 1911, excep'
as the same has been modified by
Chapter 81 of the laws of 1913, by al
lowing certain maximum variation
from the exact measure.
Il am of the opinion. therefore, tina,
any dealer who fails to have his hot
ties sealed, will. if they We're purchase
before July IL, 1913, be viola ting Chap
ter SO of the public laws of 1911 and
il he uses unsealed bottles purcha seG
after July /, 1919, he will be violating
the provisions of Chapter 81 of til.
laws of 1913, the penalty for which lat
ter offense think is contained in Sec
tion Is of Chapter "A of the Revised
Statutes.
