Correspondence.
\ Timely " ord.
ELLSWORTH, Me, Oct. s, 1918.

ELLSWORTH. M E., Oct. ., 1913,
To the Editor of the american:
trust that my long acquaintance with
men OF medicine, my position as one OF
the official mentors OF The community,
and my earnest desire to be Of help in
every time Of need, may be the grounds
upon which pardon may be granted me
for apparent assumption in this article.
With the appearance OF the dreaded in
fiuenza in our city, certain things should
be kept clearly in mind.
First. We should cooperate heartily
with the board Of health in every re-
strictiye measure it lays upon us. The
gentlemen composing the board are the
chosen guardians of the public health;
their sole desire is to protect US from the
ravages OF disease. Let US, then, comply
cheerfuIly with their requirements, and
do our part in seeing them fulfilled.
Second. Keep cheerful. The effect of
a fearful and depressed spirit is serious
in the extreme-not only upon the
individual possessing it, but upon all
whom he may influence. Not every one
will have grip-in fact the percentage of
cases per capita has not been large, even
in Massachusetts,. Portland with 1000
cases would have but two per cent. Of its
population invaded. Bangor with 225
cases would have less than one per cent.
And in spite of the long death list in
assschusetts, many days have shown
a death rate OF but one to two per cent
of total cases. Keep up coursgeously;
offer to the assaults OF disease a calm,
strong, cheerful defence. Eat well, sleep
long hours, get into all the sunshine
possible, and do not worry.
Third. Be self-constituted guardians OF
the public health. Guard especially
against common colds. II there are colds
in your household, admit no visitor with
out a statement of the conditions. II
your children have colds, keep them
strictly apart from other children, and
allow no child to enter your house until
the affection is over. Avoid all people
showing evidence OF throat or nasal Cliff
culties. Keep away from all gather
ings OF people, even of the most informal
character. Unless your service is really
needed, convey your interest in, and SYM
pathy for the sick over the telephone wire.
These things are but simple observances,
yet il rigidly adhered to will help US all
to keep we'll, and also to aid our neighbor
in his struggle for health. Again 1 ask
for a general amnesty because OF my
temerity, especially from my medical
friends, into whose service may have in
truded. r. B. MATHEWS.

The Dead Speak to You.

CONSTITUTED by publicity manager for the
Woman's Liberty Loan Com mittee)
Within the past week, two Ellsworth
boys have been brought home under the
flag in whose service their earthly life
ended. AS we RENE m Der how they went
away not long ago. bravely, cheerfully
looking into future they did not dread
to meet, we would SO gladly speak to ears
that hear not, our appreciation of their
sacrifice that we may live in peace and
safety.
That that sacrifice shall not be in vain,
the work they attempted must be carried
to a successful conclusion, the ranks
must be filed, their places must be taken
by other Hancock county boys. To US,
the non-com batants, is the privilege of
supplying the ''sinews OF war" Con-
gresham Peters quotes Gen. Pershing as
saying that if we can get enough men to
him, ne has strong hopes of ending the
war year from this fall.
But to get men there will take ships, and
to build ships will take dollars-millions
of them. The treasury department has
said in q recent leafiet addressed to the
women liberty loan workers: "A liberty
bond is the most direct and immediate
contribution any non-combatsDt citizen
ca n make toward the winning of the war"
The most fitting tribute of sympathy
and appreciation that every man, woman
and child in Ellsworth can place on those
flag covered Baskets, is ssFig hitting
Fourth" liberty bond, ''that liberty shall
not perish from the earth.n
