This committee will have as it's duty the securing of names of merchants who are willing to enter the proposi- ton of Dollar Day, and they will also solicit funds for the advertising.
 The merchants present were unani- nous in the opinion that merchandise offered at prices that were exception ally low would be a good drawing card for people from out of town, and it was felt that by giving due notice of the bargains offered there would be a generous response among the patron izing public.
 There will be a general meeting within a few days, to be called by the chairman.

LISBON MAN ELECTED A VICE PRESIDENT.
 J. B. Palmer Among Officers of New England Agricultural Society.

J. B. Palmer of Lisbon was one of the vice presidents elected at the an nual meeting of the New England Agricultural society at its meeting held in Boston on Tuesday.
 The principal subject discussed was the new rule made by the railroad companies that freight on all articles, including cattle, shipped to agricultur- al fairs, will be charged for both ways Hehetofore it has been customary for the transportation companies to re- turn all exhibits free.
 This difference in the cost of exhib- iting cattle and other other agricul- tural products, it was declared, means the discontinuance of many exhibitors and this means a great loss to the fair association.
 The claim of the society as voiced at the meeting is that the transporta- ton companies make large profit from these fairs through the increased passenger traffic that attends them, and that for this reason they should be willing to help in every way. to develop the business of the country through which their lines pass, both for their own interests and those of the communities they serve.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
 HAS BEGUN WORK.
United Workers Committee Announces
 How Her Services Are Rendered.

Miss Elizabeth M. Culver, R. N.. began her regular work as the public health nurse of the United Workers on the morning of Feb. 1st.
 The following is the plan and regu- lations adopted to govern the work of the nurse, which is under the gen. eral direction of a special committee of the United Workers. of which Mrs. R. R. Graham is chairman:
 Calls for the nurse may be received at the United Workers house, No. g Washington street. Telephone No. S7e between the hours of s.30 to g a. m., and 12 to 1 p. m. daily, except Sun days.
 1. The duty of the nurse is to visit sick persons in need of nursing care, to care for them at their homes. and to teach the families they visit the simple rules of nursing and hygiene.
 2. A fee of 50 cents covers the cost of the nurses visit. The nurse will collect as large part of this 50 cent fee as the patient is able to pay. The payment of small fees. 35 cents, 25 cents, or 10 cents, for each visit makes it possible for the society to care for a larger number of those unable to pay anything.
 B. The nurse responds to every new call, but she continues with the care of the case only in conjunction with the physician in attendance.
 4. The nurse is subject to the au- thority of the physician in care of the case and is expected to observe pro- fessional etiquette.
 5. The nurse is expected not only to give bedside care, but to teach clean liness, and to prevent the spread of disease.
 6. Waiting maternity patients will be visited as soon as reported. The nurse is not on call for patients at time of delivery, but after visits to maternity patients will be made. F z. The patient in greatest need re- ceiVes the first visit, therefore the nurse cannot promise to visit any pa- tient at a fixed hour day after day. Only necessary visits are made on Sundays and holidays.
 8. The nurse is entitled to a va cation of one month yearly. without loss of salary. As this time is intend ed for rest, it is required that she shall not exercise her profession. Nor is she at any time expected to work for remuneration except her regular sal- ary.
 g. The nurse shall be responsible for all articles loaned to patients and re- quire that the same be returned in good condition.
 10. The nurse is not allowed to re- ceive personal gifts of money from the patients, nor shall she give money to patients.
 II. The nurse shall not interfere in any way with the religious views Of the patient.
 12. At the meeting of the nursing committee, held on the first Wednes- day in each month, the nurse shall submit a detailed report of her work during the preceding month, this re- port to contain statement of number of visits paid, number of patients un- der care of nurse, nature of disease,

Catarrh is as much a blood dis ease as serofula or rheumatism. It may be relieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It breaks down the general health, weakens the lung tissues, and leads to consumption.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla is so suc- cessful in the treatment of eatarTh that it is known as the best remedy for this disease. It purifes the blood. Ask your druggist for it.
