was 4456 per mile.
Tho balance Of the mileage OF state
highways, amounting to bout ITO miles,
were maintained as plain gravel sur
faced roads by patrolmen: Some OF
the mileage was not taken for main
tenance until about July first, when it
was completed by the contractors; al
though the most Of it was under main
tenance for the entire season. The av-
erage expense Of maintaining these
roads by patrol method was ST. per
mile. These were all new roads. COM
pleted the fall before or during the
early part Of 1915. It is probable that
the traffic averaged $50 automobiles per
day and fifty horse-drawn vehicles Of
all kinds. It is estimated that full
seasons maintenance by the patrol
method will average to cost 500 per
mile.
Where sections were surface-tr treated
they were swept and prepared for the
treatment by the patrolman with q
horse broom. The tar was applied from
a motor truck distributor by the parties
from whom the material was purchas-
ed, at cost of nine cents per gallon
applied. The tar was applied to- one
half the road at time and after few
hours 1t was covered with very light
coat of sand; the next day or day after,
the other half of the road was treated,
The state does not own any mainte-
nance equipment.
Patrolmen furnish their own teams
and equipment and are paid SIS per
month.

There are few women who are not
called upon at some time to care for the
sick. The importance Of good nursing
cannot be overestimated. In many cases
the recovery Of the patient depends more
upon the care in nursing and in follow
ing the doctors instructions than In
medical skill. Nursing is not done by
instinct, although instinct often helps,
but it is done by thorough knowledge.
The things necessary for health are
~ pure air-for impure air brings about
a devitalized condition of the body which
makes it susceptible to disease; a. sun
shine and light, (0 proper food which
has been well cooked and thoroughly
masticated; ~ rest, recreation and ex-
ercise; 90 cleanliness.
In the sick room good air should be
had day and night. This should be
carefully adjusted to avoid direct drafts.
AS much sunlight should be let into the
room as the patient can stand but 1t
should be properly tempered to suit each
individual case. Sunlight increases the
vitality Of the patient and decreases the
vitality of disease germs.
The temperature of the sick room
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-13

should be little lower than in an ordi-
nary living room. In certain diseases
such as pneumonia, typhoid fever and
tuberculosis, the windows are kept wide
open.
Cleanliness is absolutely essential both
in the sick room itself and in the per-
sonal care Of the patient. For this rea-
son, dust-collecting, non-essentials should
be taken out Of the room. Quiet and
cheerfulness are necessary to help the
patient to recovery.
The common symptoms of illness, or OF
an abnormal condition in the body are:
Headache. aching back and limbs. nau-
sea. coated tongue. diarrhoea, cough,
irritability Of temper and listlessness,
sore throat. or fever. If any Of these are
observed in members of ones family.
some step should be taken at once to re-
lieve the condition. A safe thing to do
is to give hot bath and put the person
to bed. following this treatment with a
dose Of castor oil. If necessary. If any
symptom does not yield at once to home
treatment, a good doctor should be con-
suited. This saves time and strength
and often money.

State Aid Maintenance.

during 1915 we maintained TT miles
or state aid froads. These were dis
trlouted among substantially five hun
dred townships. This work was done
through the local road forces, after our
representative had looked the road over
with the local officials in charge of or
binary road work, and laid out what
should be done. The most of this mile
age was gravel surfaced, less than 25
miles OF 1t being macadam. The main
tenance work consisted of ordinary re-
pairs such as dragging the surface,
raking rocks, cleaning bitches and Gull
verts, trimming shoulders, mending
guard rails and repairing culvert end
walls. More or less new gravel surface
was applied. The average cost of do
ing this work was $3.50 per mile. The
method is not satisfactory, as local Of
