WILL MEET TO CONSIDER
CHANCE FOR A TWILIGHT
LEAGUE BASEBALL SERIES

A meeting for the purpose of talking
over plans for the proposed baseball
Twilight League will be held next
Tuesday evening at I o'clock in the
Hanson. Weber & Durham building,
Just above Browns tailor shop. near
the electric waiting room. The pro-
posed league will be broader in its
scope than anything before attempted
In local baseball. At first the plan was
tor an industrial league" taking in
the different occupations in town, but
this would have shut out the fraterni-
ties, which were anxious to get into
the game, as we'll as one or two young
mems church clubs. The result has
been that the. doors have been opened
wide to admit all who are interested
In the great American game and want
to see some good sport In Waterville
this summer. There is a lot Of talent
in this city. and while there will not
be the speed perhaps that is witnessed
In some Of the towns having semi
professional teams, yet there will be
lot Of first rate fun at small expense.

Delights Of Camping Out.

The camper-out who is real lover
OF nature will enjoy roughing it in the
woods or on lake or seashore, but he
should first make sure that his phy-
steal condition renders it safe for him
to undertake the venture. When in
camp, every care should be taken to
avoid needless exposures and to OBJ
serve the plain rules Of health. Out
fits should be selected and modes of
living In camp should be planned I'M
der advice Of some experienced per-
son, and 1t would be we'll if such a
one could be member of the camp
company. A camping party should
not be large; a few congenial COM
panies are better than a crowd of
unassimilated people. Properly pre-
pared for and wisely carried out. a
brief sojourn in tent or cabin in the
wilds should build up the average man
or woman in bodily and mental health
and vigor and supply fund of pleas
ant recollections and good spirits for
months succeeding. Not a few hard
workers in various fields attribute
their staying power and success to
the invigorating effects of their annual
bark back to wild nature. To those
requiring complete change of sur
roundings this plan commends itself
as a means beyond compare of re-
storing wornout nerves and faded

Typhus and Coal Oil,

The following letter, signed by Chas
5. Braddock. Jr., late chief medical
inspector, Siamese government, is
printed in the New York Times:
The epidemic of typhus fever in
Serbia is serious matter, not only for
the Serbian people but also for all of
those noble doctors and nurses who
have responded to the call, and will
probably mean death for many I
hope that some of the lessons learned
from fighting bubonic plague. which is
carried to human beings by para
sites-the flea, bedbug and mosquito,
as we'll as personal infection from the
pneumonia type-may be of some
benefit. Typhus fever is carried by
the louise, and l believe also by all
OF the blood biting parasites such as
the flea. bedbug and mosquito. There
is also a possibility that typhus may
be carried by the breath of the pa
tient in similar manner of pneu-
monte plague.
l never lost a doctor, nurse, attend
ant or guard in either pneumonia or
bubonic plague. They were compell-
ed to battle their bodies all over twice
daily with carblic soap. and this fol-
lowed by pouring coal oil all over
their bodies. No patient was ever put
inside house, but attended in a lit
tie shelter raised from the ground
and with roof to keep off sun and
rain, but open wide on all four sides.
The best investment the volunteers
going to Serbia could make would be
a cargo of shelter tents about twice as
large as used in the army, supplied
for two patients and only used as
a roof-open on all sides. Put
the whole population in tents and
in the houses; use plenty of
coal oil everywhere, using sprinkl-
ing pots to sprinkle over the premises
and in the cracks in the walls Thus
we killed the f1eas and other parasites
IN plague and conquered the disease
after killing all the rats. not, Of course,
emitting all other sanitary means and
precaution. l believe that if the pa
tlents were attended in open tents or
shelters the death rate among doctors
and nurses would be cut down won
derfully. especially if in addition to
great cleanliness plenty of coal oil was
used on the clothing and body | used
coal oil for three weeks at a time and
outside of slight dermatitis no in
convenience was caused 1t was no.
t1ced first in Calcutta that none of
the coolies employed by the oil COM
panies got plague. simply because the
coal oil on their bodies kept the para
sites away or killed them.

A Creek Tradition,
(Letter to New York Times)

Netter to New York Times)
There is tradition sometimes quot
ed among the Greeks of today which
has an added interest by reason Of
recent events in the Dardanelles. T
heard it twenty years ago in the vi
cinity Of Thermopylae, but it is sun
posed to have originated centuries
ago. or soon after the Turkish power
was established in Europe. 1t Is to
the effect that when Constantine
and Sophia shall occupy the throne
OF Greece then the Turk shall be
driven from the imperial city of the
Greeks and the cross shall replace the
crescent on the dome Of the patri-
archal church Of st. Sophia"
