1T is due to the splendid work of
the medical corps of the army and of
the Red Cross and other nurses that
the death rate has been so low among
our soldiers throughout France" said
one eminent military authority; hut it
is due also to the splendid physique,
nerve, endurance, and clean life of our
American boys in the army. Has any
one ever seen company of our Amer
lean soldiers marching, without being

, vietion that surely country defended

One has only to glance through the
county news appearing in The Reformer
from day to day to realize the extent Of
the influenza epidemic in the small towns
hereabouts. In proportion to population
it has been far worse in the rural dis
tricts than it has been here, and the
scarcity of doctors and nurses in these
districts has made practically impossible
lanything like an organized effort to com
bat or check the disease. With solemn
regard for the possibility of another re-
currence of the epidemic in towns we
may still be thankful that its past vista
tions have been no worse.

The Meddler

Sight of the auditors at work on the
town accounts recalls the fact, agreeable
i'll one respect at least, that it isn't very
long time to town meeting. While it's
yet too early to give anything approach
ing a definite statement as to the past
years finances it is probably safe to as
sumo that the period has been one of un-
usual expense. All years are that nova
days, and besides we have only to re-
member that every quarantine sign post
ed by the health officer is an expense to
the town to be convinced that that par
ticular department of public affairs will
appear in the forthcoming statement with
unusual prominence. The Meddler is
hoping that the selectmen will be able to
appear before the voters without the
usual number of temporary loans to be
met, for it is the accumulation of such
loans that has done more than anything
else to swell the towns bonded indebted
ness. However, so long as we persist in
voting tax rate instead of allowing il
to be determined by authorized expendi
lures temporary loans are certain to be a
portion of our annual inheritance.
