 M1nding your own business, as is suggested in this article, is one thing. and looking out for the welfare of a town, Is quite another, and the prayer that IS suggested at the end of this very able letter which I presume must have originated in the brain of the health officer, might be used by him. self as we'll as the rest of the citizens of Berlin.

Berlin To an outside party one would DC led to think that writers of these articles were the only ones interested ! In this matter which I think every one in town feels indignant in the way our health officer has handled these cases and for that reason I for one wish to express my feeling in the matter.
 Our health officer seems to go to
 all parts of the town, north, south and
 east for the starting and spread of
 this disease. Why don't he come
 right to the center of the town and
 give us some explanation of this case
 where there has been some we'll de-
 veloped cases of smallpox gone

 plainant without a quarantine being
 placed there, and the children playing
 every day with other children, anu
 more than that, a boy from this fam
 fly has been delivering the Sunday

 past four weeks to my knowledge for

 who would not be? If this had hap
 pened forty years ago two-thirds of the inhabitants of Berlin would have been paralyzed.
 Not word or two about this case in the center of the town, the article signed by Dr. R. M. Griswold, says there can be no trace of the con,- plaints coming from Kensington. ! understand that the teacher who is
 B member of the family mentioned was brought home sick from the school where she was teaching and apparently has had the whole run of the complaint and if this is here the $100 offered by the health officer to charity might be forwarded at any time. He was the family physician | at the time and called it a very ser ious case of chickenpox, and when the citizens of Berlin were not satis- ned with his diagnosis of this case, they had one of the, leading citizens of the town go to him for a more definite guarantee of the case. This gentleman put the question directly to the health ofiicer-"Is this a case of smallpox?" His answer was mo and l whoever says 1t is a d. liar and l you can tell them 50 from me-"
 Now the fact in the case is that there mas been B. IAnllv QuaraHClneO with this disease and the head of the family says if ours is a case of small pox. the other is also. for what we have came from that family.
 Now as 1t appears to me- can see no reason in a case like this where there Is . question whether it Is chicken pox or small pox. which as l l understand there is some similarity, why a doctor cannot call in someone

STARS AND STRIPES | TO FLY AT CENTER
Women and Children to Donate Flags to Home Guard and Town
OBSERVE REGISTRATION DAY
Suggest Demonstration When Old Glory Is Flung to the Breezee- School Children Make Generous Ra. spOnse-COWlcs Enlists-Briefs.

Responding generously to the ap- peal of the committee representing
 the surgical dressings workers, the women and children of the town have
 ma4e up a substantial fund for the
 purchase of g. flag to be donated to
 the Platnville company of the Home
 Guard. The contributors have been
 so liberal in fact that the committee
 now believes it will be possible to take
 up the suggestion that flag be se-
 cured for the soldiers monument plot
 in the center of the town and they
 announced today. through the chair
 man. Mrs. s. S. Gwillim, that the
 campaign will be continued for an- other week in the hope that the ad- ditional donations will bring the amount collected up to the amount
 required to permit of the buying of
 two banners.
 Mrs. Gwillinl stated that the re- ceipts to date are over $30, more than one half of which represents pennies and nickels which they gave to a pa- triotic cause, sacrificing sweetmeats and other confections which they would have purchased under ordinary ClrCumSIAuCeS. ] H0 CullOTou 1nAQ0 8 splendid response to the appeal for their aid and the committee in charge of the campaign is well pleased with their showing.
 Responses to the invitation of the committee to take part in the cam paign have been made by the Bay View club, the Ideal Whist club, the Ladies' Benevolent society of the Con- gregational church, the Woman's club. the w. c. T. U., the ladies of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church, the Ideal Whist club and the Pussy Willows club. Other societies with which women are affiliated are also expected to show their interest in the movement. There have been some individual contributions and more are expected during the next week.
 While the amount collected does not reach any very. large proportions it must be regarded as substantial in view of the fact that it represents the donations of large number of people the committee having announced that it sought small contributions from large numbers rather than large con- r tributions from a few.

named to purchase the Home Guard flag and 1t is the intention to present it to the company before Memorial Day that it might be used in tho parade to be held in connection with the Grand Army observance.
 The amount. remaining will be used in purchasing flag for the center. The activity displayed by the women will no doubt cause the men of the town to get busy and with the an- nouncement that 1t Is the intention to get a flag for the center as well as for the Home Guard, 1t is probable that steps will be taken by male pa- triots to secure pole from which the banner will fly
 The raising of the flag in the center could be made an occasion for Plain ville's patriotic demonstration and would make an admirable feature of the towns observance of Registration Day, June 5. The nation is to cele- brate the registering of its youth for consoription and thero Is no reason why Plainville should be content to sit still and look on while it's neigh bors have demonstrations of a worthy character.

Boosters to check them.
The real Scotch part Of the program
is in charge of the celebrated Mac Phail
