The following rescripts from the
Maine law court have been received by
Charles w. Jones, clerk Of courts for
Kennebec county:
Somerset County.
John Kolasen vs.. The Great Northern
Paper Co. Rescript, Cornish, j.
Action for personal injuries. The
plaintiff was painting near the ceiling
OF dimly lighted alcove Of the screen
room in the defendants mill, in close
proximity to a rapidly revolving shaft
10 this shaft had been attached a COL
lar seven or eight inches in diameter
from which projected a set screw
about three fourths of an inch. The
collar had been attached ten years be-
fore for the purpose Of running a ma
chine. had served its purpose for two
or three years and had then been aban-
doned. But tie defendant had not re
movec 1t and 1t had been allowed to
remain in disuse. While in the per-
formance of his work the plaintiff's
clothing was caught in the set screw
ana ne was drawn violently around the
shaft receiving grievous and permanent
injuries. He recovered verdict in the
sum OF $4,000. At previous trial the
presiding Justice ordered a non suit.
plalntlfs exceptions to this order were
sustained by this Court and the action
was sent back for trial before a Jury.
Upon defendants motion for a new
trial it is held,
l. That the evidence at this trial Is
practically the same ais at the first.
The defendant introduced no testimony
except the affidavit of a witness for
the plaintiff given on the day of the
accident. tending to contradict his tes-
tlmony. This was admissible for the
purpose of impeaching the credibility
OF the witness but can be given no 9TH
er nor further weight:
2. That under these circumstances
the same question is before this Court
as before. If the plaintiff is not en-
titled to recover as a matter Of law.
the non suit should have been sus-
tatined. The reversal Of the non suit
then is logically followed by the denial
of this motion now.
3. That upon the evidence the YER
dict is not clearly wrong. The Jury
could well find the existence of a dan.
gerous feature. which was not visible
to an observing operative, one that
was not made known to him and one
which the employer should have known
and in fact did know, evidence tending
to prove negligence on the part of the
defendant. 5....
4. That owing to the plaintiffs in
experience. ignorance of the exact sit
uation and lack of warning, the Jury
were justified in finding that he was
himself in the exercise Of due care and
had not assumed the risk
5. That the question Of excessive
verdict is not argued by the defendant.
The plaintiffs injuries were lament
able. Both arms and both legs were
broken and there were injuries to the
back and one eye. The plaintiff has
been subjected to many operations. is
wholly incapacitated from labor and Is
a physical wreck. The verdict is large
but we do not feel warranted in dis
turbing it.
Motion overruled.
Received Nov. I, 1916.

DR.. w. G.. Thomas recently completed
the dental inspection at the Smith school
and stated that the improvement in the
teeth of the children in the city schools
has been very general in the past two
years; that about 30 per cent. of all the
pupils in the sth grade at Smith school
are in fine shape, and that since the estab-
lishment of the yearly dental inspection
in the city schools a marked Improvement
in the children's teeth has resulted. This
is the fifth year since the inspections be-
gan, and the doctor stated that the first
year only about 80 per cent. Of the pupils
teeth were in good repair; that on the
second year it increased to 50 per cent.
and now the percentage is still more
greatly increased throughout the public
schools.

 Dear Sir: Prohibition has been a wonderful blessing to Tacoma. Nor ally, financially, industrially and so cially there has been marked improve ment.
 The effect in reducing crime was immediate. Prohibition went into ef- feet January 1. In the whole month following. there was not case of fighting. or disturbing the peace in this entire city of O,O00-a seaport city with it's mixed population.
 The population of the City Jail has decreased SO that the contractor who feeds prisoners, and formerly had q good thing, refuses longer to take tho job.
 Home life has been greatly bene- fitted. Money that went for drink is now going for comforts and necessi. ties.
 Grocers report a boom in business, and better collections. Merchants re- port larger business, with boom in the sale of clothing and shoes.
 Building has been greatly stimu. lated. In the first six months of 191f with saloons here, the building open ofiOpS amounted fO S21A G76. t1 same months of 1916 without salooS showed building operations of $81 555. Old shacks that formerly used by saloons and xaT1a

son believes in plenty of fresh air
while DR.. Fischer, a prominent bac-
teriologist claimed that his wife had
caught grip riding in "fool. cars" with
the windows open. Harsh words fol-
lowed and finally DR.. Fischer declared
that he didn't believe DR.. Robertson

der to prove his remark challenged
the health commissioner to a novel

The challenge offered Dr. Robert.
son the opportunity Of presenting DR.
Fischer with five baccilli, two of them
grip germs and three innocent germs
Dr. Fischer would then, likewise, pre-
sent DR.. Robertson with five germs
containing three harmless ones.
I'm all ready" said DR.. Fischer
"Ill send my engines of destruction to
DR.. Robertson any hour he chooses
Well settle this affair in an intelli

out the harmless germs and have nc
fear of inoculating my self with the
grip. Speak to DR.. Robertson"
