Charities and Corrections

The following summary Of conditions
found at recent inspection of the Lew
iston City Farm has been communicat-
ed by the State Board of Charities and
Corrections to the overseers of the poor
concerned:
Lewiston City Farm.
General conditions-Cleanline very
good; repair, good; furniture, sufficient
and suitable; beds and bedding, gener-
ally In good condition. All was clean.
A few of the mems beds had only one
sheet; sanitation, generally good-some
lation. Some plumbing needs to be re-
placed with new. Care of food sup
plies, good.
improvements - Two new flush
closets and a new bath tub have been
put in. The hot water tank recon-
mended last year has been added. af-
fording a plentiful supply Of hot water.
There is now harmony between the
superintendent and the city physician.
The ceilings have been whitened and a
number of rooms painted. Blankets
are gradually replacing cotton puffs.
A better system Of checking up sup
plies purchased Is in use. Rooms used
for the two sexes have been rear
ranged.
Recommendations - Laundry ma
chinery is needed. A daily census rec
ord of the inmates should be kept
Purchase of supplies in wholesale
quantities under competitive bids is es-
sential to economical maintenance.
Written orders for admission and dis
charge, to be made in duplicate and
signed by the city physician or clerk
of the overseers of the poor, one copy
filed in the overseer's Office and one in
the superintendent Office, should be
required in every case. Iron fire es-
capes are needed in place of the pres
ent wooden ones.
Criticisms-Since the previous in
spection the use of the almshouse as a
house of correction has been authorized
by the city government. In this the
city is out of step with the march OF
social progress and preceding back
ward instead u forward, is assuming
duties and responsibilities which, un-
der present conditions. more properly
belong to the county. and which if sat
isfactory results are to be expected,
ought to be assumed by the State
through definite plan of State control
of all misdemeanants convicted of vio-
lation Of the State laws.

other things:
The chemists conducted some large

pressing out an unusually high-grade oil,
the fish residue could economically and
easily be turned into fish meal, which cat

Chance in Soliciting Premiums

A decided change in the method OF
soliciting special premiums has been
adopted by the executive committee Of
the Maine Seed Improvement Associa-
ton, the Journal was informed Thurs
day by Mr.. Rogers. The action was
taken at Wednesdays meeting OF the
committee at the State House, the ma
iority of the members favoring the
proposition that no more soliciting OF
special premiums shall be done by the
association from public service corpo-
rations, but it shall be confined to busi-
ness firms and private individuals.
It is felt by the majority Of the ex-
ecutiye committee that this course
will be appreciated by both the public
service corporations and the general
public, from whom the corporations de-
rive their incomes.

Seed Potatoes

E. A. Rogers, the expert on potatoes
connected with the Maine Agricultural
Department. was at the office Thurs
day and in response to a question as to
the condition Of the potato crop and
market. said:
1.-THE demand for certified potato
seed was never 50 great and cannot
see how the Maine dealers can have
anywhere enough to supply the call. It
is not only pleasing to us all to have
Maine potatoes in such demand, but Is
even more gratifying to know that the
owner of certified seed may get almost
any price in reason for them. Two car
loads are to be shipped out Of Houlton
before Nov. 10 and a car will go at once
from Pressure Isle. The market for the
ordinary potatoes I: strong and the
raisers are getting the best prices they
have ever known. The potato business
is good
Mr.. Rogers will on Saturday eve

Pittsfield Grange, which he has been
invited to address. He has not fully
decided on his subject, but will speak
