The fundamental idea of the local
ChautauQua is Community Service"
The financial guarantee necessary to
bring 1t here is shouldered by num-
Der of our public spirited citizens who
have the interest of the whole COM
munity at heart. They are acting un-
selfishly without hope of profit-safe
in the consciousness of having served
the community. They believe in the
ChautauQua: in its Possibilities for
good; in the inspiration of it's mes
sage: in the solid and uncolhrromis-
ing front it presents against all the
influences which deface the commu-
nifty and renders practical common
sense assistance to every good cause.
Believing in it, the local commit
tee has guaranteed the finances nee
essary to bring it here, and it asks
only that the community will come
to-. the fount for refreshment and in
SEPARATION. Recognizing that that
which builds up the community as. a
whole helps every individual in that
community, the guarantors have writ
ten a motto FOR THE COMMON
GOOD" above the Chautauqua and ap.
pealed to the patriotism of every citi.
zen of the community for hearty and
generous moral and financial support

Preventive Medicine Authority
Gives Hints on Bathing and
Maintaining Good Blood
Circulation.

THE skin is very important to
the welfare of the human body,
and therefore should be kept in
the best condition in order to car
ry ont it's functions PROPERTY
says Prof. NJ. p. Ravenel of the
department of preventive medi-
cine Of the University Of Mis-
souri,.
Professor Ravcnel says that in
the care of the skin cleanliness is
of first Importance. For ordinary
purposes tepid water may be used
in bathing. but the last rinsing
should be in cold water. A bland
soap should be used at least once
day with a certain amount of
friction. Highly perfumed soaps
should be avoided, and medicated
soaps should be used only on the
advice of a physician.
In addition to bathing with
water, the air bath is very i'm
portant, and preferably should be
taken upon arising and again on
going to bed. During the air
bath it is advisable to rub the
body with the open hand. which
increases the circulation and
gives a healthy glow to the skin,
enabling it to resist cold.
Use of cosmetics should be
avoided. Most so-called skin
foods contain grease as their prin-
cipal ingredient. Grease tends to
overload the sweat glands and to
clog the pores of the skin. There
is no such thing as a skin food
applicable on the outside. The
skin is nourished only by circula-
ton as are other parts of the
body.
Generally speaking, greasy and
indigestable foods must be avoid
ed, and nourishing, easily digest
ible food must be sought. The
care of the digestive tract is most
Constipation is espec-
tally to he avoided. This can be
done best by regulation of the
diet and not by taking medicine.
To sum up, the hygiene of the
skin depends on cleanliness and
of good circulation.

President Asks Backing.

Washington dispatch to the Chica-
go Herald states: THE President real
ICES that he cannot take the strong
stand which his past procedure logical
ly demands unless the country gives
him unmistakable backing"
This is in reference to the foreign
policy. The President need have no
misgivings. When he takes a strong
stand he will find the country at his
back, but it would take population Of
dodgers to keep behind him in his pres
ent backing. filling and side-stepping.
Another thing: To appeal to the coun-
try to stand behind hinfs with the
present intention to make political
capital of the foreign situation when
the campaign is on, looks like heads I
win. tails you lose"
When we thought, last year, that
the President had taken a Strong
stand and meant 1t, we FASTENED to
give him our backing. We commend
ed him and approved his notes" which
said something" We urged our read
ers to forget political prejudices and
to forgive the mistakes Of the past.
AS one mote" after another appeared,
we approved but noted with regret, no
progress. And finally we tired Of
meaningless repetitions, each, if possi-
BILE. meaning a little less than the last
preceding because adroitly softenjng
the most potent paragraphs. Then we
expressed our disappointment and for
some time gave the administration the
benefit there might be in our failure
to criticise a course that richly de-
served criticism.
Many other newspapers have hon.
estly attempted to stand with the Pres
ident in his foreign policy and have
abandoned the hope as unjust to their
followers.
The President might as well appeal
for support on his tariff folly as on
his foreign policy. His 'bne- track"
mind seems to be too frequently side
tracked.

The Maine Teachers Association is a
great organization. an honor to the State
and doubtless helpful to the educational
interest of Maine. 1t has School Mu-
sic Festival; Maine branch of the
american School Peace League; a
Maine School Masters Club: and other
accessories equally as interesting. Its
work is divided into 20 or more depart
ments' and among them is one called the
Department of History
AT the recent session of the Associa-
ton in Bangor this department held its
meeting in Room 211 second floor in the
High school building. Its program of
topics for discussion and consideration
were:
Aids for the Teaching of Ancient
History; Relation of American History
to Civics': and a Round Table Discus
sion of How May the Present War be
Used to Interest Students in History
This schedule has some Objectionable
features and possesses some merit. And
yet it should not surprise the managers
of this Association if there may be those
of only the average stratum of Maine
citizenship and blessed with Aonly average
intellectual processes who may wonder
why there could not have been discov-
cred somewhere along the course of
Maine History, which has been making
for 800 years. something that could have
been used to interest students in his

world has record of, and now being
waged by nearly every European nation

Representative David J. Lewis, who

livered a speech in the House Jan. 10
in favor Of government ownership OF
