INViLIDS HAVE DONE MUCH
Comfort for Sufferers in Stories Of
Careers Of Noted Authors and
Scientists.

Those who are afflicted with ill-health
may derive some comfort from the
statement, quoted in a recent book on
Suffering and the War" that Cole
ridge claimed that the greatest works
Of the nineteen centuries were all
written by men of feeble health-Spin-
oza's Ethics BaconS 'NoYum Or

Tit-Bits, was most unprOmising child.
with a frail body and poor &esight.
He showed no aptitude for study, and
was first melted by the desire to ger
ahead of boy who kicked him"
Another great writer who accom-
plished much despite the handicap of
poor health was Herbert Spencer. Like
Newton, as boy he was backward In
his studies. A new life of Spencer by
Hugh Elliot says: "He was very back
ward as boy in the ordinary subjects
OF ehildren's lessons. Morally.
he was extremely disobedient and con-
temptuous of authority" At thirteen
he found the discipline tof his school)
more severe than he cared about. and
ran away home to Derby again, walk
Ing AZ miles the first day" Yet as
man. without money, without special
education, without health. he produced
1S large volumes of philosophy and
science Of many diverse kinds, pub
lished a variety of mechanical inven-
lions, and on endless other subjects,
great and small, he set forth a profu-
sion Of new and original ideas"

The budget SO far submitted to the
Maine legislature indicates call for
appropriations of twenty million
dollars, and to this will be added
many other calls for special appro-
priations. The prospects are that the
tax rate for the next two years will
about double. What this means TO
Ellsworth may be figured roughly.
Last year Ellsworth paid a State tax
of s13,57627. If tile State tax rate for
1919 is made II mills, as predicted,
EllsworIh's State tax would be s24,-

Tell interesting Stories About Their
Trip and the Work They Had
ncgs--o.e Had Six Broth
ers in the Service.

Iondon.--They were sailors and
they were diry-hungry, too. They
were going from one port that begins
with "B, TO another port that begins
with "B." and they had TO stop over
on their way, not because they wanted
to, but because the trains ran that
way. in a big city in Brittany II was
ten o'clock when they got there, tired
and dirty ard hungry. Not very
happy. either: they were being shipped
home because of sickness or injury or
incipient lung trouble. Their train
left at four the next morning. The
station was dingy and sooty and
crowded. Big incandescent lights
glared down on yards of cold. unin-
viting, benchless stone platforms.
Fed by Red Cross.
Suddenly they saw a big red-letter
sign. american Red Cross" They
followed the pointing arrow. The sta
ton was too full to harbor cam
teen. so the Americans had put. up
barracks alongside. The only avail
able ground was full of big trees. so
they had built the barracks around
the trees and whitewashed their
trunks to match the walls. There
was dormitory with double tiers of
hunks and a big wash room and
canteen, long tables and benches and
counter with blue-aproned Ameri-
can girls behind it. They served the
sailors with hot chocolate or coffee
or strange pink French soft drink"
that was cold and pleasant. and salad
and sandwiches or more substantial
food, all for a sum that would have
been reasonable in the United States
before the war.
While they fed them and struggled
with complicated problems in inter-
national mathematics, like taking /
franc Is out of s. and returning the
change in American money, the
blue-aproned girls listened to the
sailors stories about their trip and
the work they had done before and
how they felt about going home and
all about their families.
Six Brothers in Service.
"I've got six brothers." said one
broad-shouldered lad, land every one
of 'em is in the navy or the army, and
my mother and sister are doing Red
Cross work at home" He had strained
his back trying TO lift part of an en-
CINE that was much too heavy for
him and was going back with the
cheerful prospect before him of three
months in plaster cast, but he didn't
care; he had done as much as
he could and perhaps he would be
able to get back into it before it was
over. He had just one regret. Il
had to sell the farm she left me, the
lady l used to drive for in New York.
She made me promise not to sell it,
but when the war came along / knew
she'd rather have me sell 1t and buy
Liberty bonds before I enlisted"
