TO get into overeoats readily. They
would find it much easier to use capes.
At present, the inspector stated, the
difficulties these old men encountered
in getting into overeoats inclined them
to go out into the cold weather often
with no overcoats at all. If they had
capes they would use these because
it was so easy to wear capes.
The inspector says that the squad
rooms at Togus showed lack of super
vision by company officers and then
turned his attention to the statistics
which proved that rations for the nom
commissioned officers mess cost 5 per
cent. more than the rations for the
general mess. This is improper" the
report of the managers to Congress
declared. "A ration should be ration
throughout the entire branch"
The difficulty in getting good milk
is experienced at other branches of the
National Home than at Togus, but the
inspector commented upon the fact
that at Togus there was no milk to be
had in the general mess hall, because
none was left over from the Hospital.
He described supper in the mess hall,
Sept. Is, which, he said, consisted of
"prune sauce, tea, bread and oleo-
margarine" The sauce he added,
seemed thin and the supper poor in
consequence" He alluded TO the
waste of bread at Togus and com
mented upon the large consumption of
coal at the bakery This was twice
as large as the consumption of coal
at the bakery in the Southern branch.
THE service of suppers in the in
sane ward" the report continued, lis
poor. Some of the patients need more
assistance. The food of others is cold
before it reaches them. More super
vision by surgeons and trained nurses
is required" He added that the i'm :
sane patients should be moved down
stairs, where they could have better
quarters and where they could be bet
ter taken care of in case of fire. The
tubercular patients were the subject
of some attention in the report, as the
inspector believes they can not be
properly cared for at Togus and
should be moved to some more con-
genial climate. He pointed out that
the death rate at the Togus home dur
ing the past year was 1S409 per thou
sand as against 1o9l4 the previous
year.
The precautions in the branch
against fire are not adequate in the in

By the School for the Deal

Before the committee on appropria

resolves in favor of the Maine school
for the Deaf at Portland and the
Bar Harbor hospital h 'R Plummer
of Lisbon, trustee of the latter insti-
tuition appeared in place of the princi-
pal and president who were detained
and explained briefly the needs of the

ings for which an appropriation of
$4,000 was asked, $500 for a laundry,
and the usual sum of $685. 900 and 81, 800
for the ,.ears 1924 for maintenance.
From the State of New Hampshire
the school receives $4,000 each year for
the care of % pupils sent there. and
there are now liz pupils at the school
with ten teachers besides the princi-
pal and ten employees. The $4,000 for
additional land and buildings was
asked of the last Legislature but
they We're forced to wait till the
States finances would warrant that
appropriation. A statement of facts
will be forwarded the committee by
the principal of the school on request
of the committee.
Senator Patten and Representative
Sherman of Hancock county appeared
in behalf of the usual appropriation
of $4,000 annually for the Bar Harbor
Medical and Surgical hospital and the
committee was told through letters
and statements personal of the great
work done especially among the 5000
coast residents and especially those
reached by the Sea Coast Missionary
society whose president sent a letter
detailing the extent of the charitable
work done. The hospital costing
s45, 900 was built by subscription and
has free beds but is in need of
larger quarters for nurses and ma

To the operations performed free in

Dor who charge nothing for services

they can afford To the hospital.

posed amendment to the law would injure
the fshermen in the least. Mr. Albee
said the fishermen of Monhegan were
prosperous and offered to bet the COM
mittee that an equal number of tho fish
ermen had more money than the COM
mitteemen did.
County Atty J. b. Perkins of Lincoln
county appeared for the fishermen
against the amendment. They felt it
would interfere with their means of earn
ing "a livelihood and hurt fishing during
the open season, he said.
Linwood Davis, a Monhegan fisherman,
said his expenses had been paid to attend
the hearing on behalf of his fellow fish
ermen all of whom opposed any change
in the present law for fear that the fish
ing would be injured during the winter.
He said there was better winter fishing
now than before the summer close time
had been adopted. Previous to that time,
all the summer residents and hotel guests
ate short Holsters. he said.
William Brennan of Port Clyde spoke
briefly against any change and Rep. Sar-
gent of Portland favored it. He said a
summer close time was a mistake The
matter was then tabled for executive ses-
sion.
w. B. Blaisdell, Esq, of North Sullivan
appeared in favor of the bill providing
that smelts should be taken only with
hook and line in the waters of Egypt
bay, Franklin bay and Taunton bay and
river in the towns of Hancock, Franklin
and sullivan in Hancock counties He
said 81 a day could be earned by fishing
with hook and line and that the use
of nets and weirs prevented the fish from
running further up.
Percy Clark of Franklin. who appeared
for the remonstrants, argued that the
waters mentioned might well be closed

Speaking of the branches in general

conditions are quite satisfactory. But

Togus, prevail in other branches. There
are many complaints about the cloth
