WORK TO REDUCE NOR
TALLY AMONG INFANTS

That systematic effort will be
made to decrease the infant mortality
in the State of Maine was told to Il
gathering in the Unitarian church in
Bangor Sunday afternoon by DR.. l.. d.
Bristol Of Augusta, chairman of the
State Department of Health. Alarm
ing reports have been made showing
an abnormal death rate among children
in certain communities.
The speaker said that records will
be carefully kept to ascertain the rate
of mortality in the different communi-
ties, especially infant mortality. He
said that in one locality more than
cne- third of the deaths in the past year
have been children. DR.. Bristol said
that the reason for this had not as vet
neen made apparent. and whether it
was a poor milk supply or whether the
people in this particular community
die. not understand the feeding of in
fants was not as yet known, but the
department was determined to learn
the reason. and try in every manner to
prevent this large death rate of chill
dren.
DR.. Bristol further spoke of the con-
tuberculosis in Paris. and since they
had entered upon the strenuous life he
said that many had shown signs of this
disease, when heretofore there had
been SO such sign. Some method of
controlling this disease must be
found" said the speaker and we must
look out that tuberculosis does not
spread upon the return of these men
from the battle line
He told of the new Department of
Health which has been formed in the
State. He said that trained men had
been placed in each Of the six dis
tricts into which Maine has been di

The gasoline boat is in good condi-

FOR AVER BOYS

Adjutant General George Mel
Presson received letter Tuesday
from Col. Arthur S Conklin, com
handing the 303rd Field Artillery To-
Gated at Aver, Mass, and of which
the drafted men from Maine are
members, in which he states that Col.
Stewart. the chief of staff, has spoken
t" him about a regimental Christmas
tree
Col, Stewart thinks it to be a fine
idea for the State Of Maine to fur
nish about Il large Christmas trees
for the cantonment at Aver, in order
that each of the larger units might
have one. This is not to be a state
affair. but the cantonment is to he
regarded as a New England canton
ment, and Col. Stewart thinks it a
fine idea to furnish the trees.
The matter was referred to the Gov
ernor and Council.
