Health Department

Tne Maine State. Department OF
Health took. up new quarters Friday
in one of the buildings formerly oc-
cupied by the United States Arsenal
on the east side of. the Kennebec
river in this city The department,
since its reorganization last sam
mer, has occupied the rooms in the
basement Of the State House. which
had long been the headquarters of
the STATE Board of Health.
In making the change in location.
tn, department is materially increas-
ing it's effectiveness. The diagnostic
laboratories and the Division of SAM
tary Engineering which have recent
ly been housed on Water street will
now occupy the same building as the
administrative offices, making the
department more of a unit in the
public health w ork. The six divisions
of the department which will have
offices in the Arsenal building are the
divisions of Administration, Conf
mnnicable Diseases. Diagnostic Lab
oratories, Sanitary Engineering. Vital

Vaccination Necessary.
Vaccination should be universal
says the. State department of health
in a statsment issued Friday. The
statistics Of six states for 1916 re.
porting TIL VAGINAL status OF small
pox eases shows that OUT of 1916
cases 1907 Or 92.5 per cent had never
been vaccinated, 239.or 81 per cent
had been. vaccirated.xwi within seven
years before, while 76Apr rs per cent
had been vaccinated Awithin seven
years. The State deIt ment points
out that saccination Isl the only sure
preventative OF aalipox. Epidemics
are impossible IN districts where
vaccination is general Wherever
vaccination is properly done there is
mo- danger Of bad er-effects.

The MainesEhild Welfare move
ment Is gaining monentum. A con-
sidera&k number of .leeers have been
reseiykd at the State House indicat-
ing 70 keen interest and general
desire to have a Child Welfare Con-
ference called at an early date. The
recent letter sent out by the heads of
four State departments outlining the
need s:and pointing to the Possibility
OF SUCH a meeting has brought an in

Charities and Corrections

The printed annual reports of GER
tain cities and towns coming into this
Office of the State Beard Of Charities
and Corrections contain the names of
claimants for aid as mothers with de-
pendent children under fourteen years
of age. The State Board believes
that such publicity is entirely con
trary to the spirit of the law. It Is
of course proper that the amount Of
money expended by any town on this
account should be reported 1T must
be. But there does not len 10 be
any good reason, why ire narnes of
the claimants Should be printed. On
the other hand there seems to be
every reason why they should not.

FOR DISTRICT AIMS
HOUSES OR INFIRMARIES?

+ s.Nhat do you think of the chances
|of the enactment of a law by the.
next legislature providing for county
or district infirmaries in lieu OF the
present municipal almshouses? This
question was asked of Secretary Bag
ley of the State Board OF Charities
and Corrections.
They seem to he very good. The
sentiment all over the State in favor
of such q law seems to be over
whelming. saw a good many Of the
municipal officers at the assessors
conference recently and also our
supervisors of Mothers Aid come
very directly into contact with these
officers. We are also coming into
daily contact with sspersons, all over
the state. who arc interested in social
welfare. All of them believe that
such AN institution is needed. No
one opposes it. l believe that the
only reason the. law failed of. pas,
sa ge in 1917 was becaues of the pros
visions of the bill which was intro
duced We're misunderstoods In ORDER
to secure the passage OF such 4elaW
in 1918 it is only necessary to maif9l
sure that. the bill introduced shall be-
simple and that its provisions are
such no no undue hardship shall be-
imposed upon any town or city which,
lis already maintaining an almshouses
There is no opposition to the princi-
ple involved. tits only q, question Of
duplication of details to the existing
situation.
/ The state Board of Charities and
Corrections hopes to be able to ar
range a Series OF conferences with the
overseers of the poor and other in
terested persons in each county in
! the State during August and Septem-

Of spirited mules headed towards

the mules was reported badly cut
also, its head being driven
through the glass. How the oe-
cupants of the car were not SER

hension. Mr.. Bertram said when
he noticed the wagon coming
ahead he stopped his car short in
