HEALTH DEPT. FIGHT
ING AGAINST DISEASE

An important factor in the sue
cesSful laboratory work which is be-
ing done by the Maine Department
Of Health in determining disease, lies
in the careful preparation, before it
reaches the searching gaze of the
bacteriologist or chemist of material
sent to Augusta for examination or
analysis, and in the efficient prepar-
alton of sanitary outfits for the COL.
lection of such material which are
sent monthly to every city and town
in Maine.
This has previously been consid-
cred a mans work but for the last
five months has been handled by Mrs.
Mabel Gushing in particularly eff
| ficient and satisfactory manner.
Mrs. Gushing sends out each month
practically 100 dozen outfits to the
health stations of which every Maine
city and town has at least one. the
outfits being of four distinct types,
namely, those for material to be ex-
amined for tuberculosis, diphtheria,
typhoid fever and venereal disease.
The health officer in each town. gem
representative of the State Health
Department and to him these sup
plies are sent. Hospitals and scores
of private doctors also receive these
outfits upon request and examination
Of the material is made.
The tuberculosis outfits consist
merely of wide -mouthed bottle
containing little five per cent car
bolic acid, and in this. sputum from
the suspected patient is sent to Au-
gusta. Mrs. Gushing prepares this
material for microscopic examina-
i ton, making the smears or slides for
the use of the psychologists, which
process consists Of q staining Of the
! materials so that the germs can be
! identified. For the chemical en-
gineering laboratory she prepares
the bile solution which is employed
by the chemist to determine the
presence or absence of colon baccili
in the water which is being analysed.
In addition to the laboratory work,
Mrs. Gushing has charge of the de-
partment menagerie. In the base
ment of the Maine Department of
Health building, guinea pigs and
rabbits are kept which are used by
the bacteriologist in making the tests
so necessary for the preservation of
human life. She makes personal
pets of the little animals who look
to her for her daily food and who

Girls as Men at
Girls Club Dance
Prove Big Success

The clubhouse of the Augusta Girls
Community Club on Saturday evening
was the scene Of one Of the gayest par
ties yet held there. and some, delightful
affairs have taken place in that club
house evening within the history of the
girls club, when a party of the club
members held dance, half of the girls
acting as the escorts for the other half
and, to better fill the part, dressing as
men. The party was in charge Of some
Of the girls who are planning to go to
Bryn Mawr in June to the national con-
vention and the affair was open to any
and all Of the club members who cared
to go. The only obligation on the part
of those who wanted to go was to sign
up and pay their fees. Victrola music
was furnished and then Miss Christine
Carey, who really came to enjoy her
self with the other members, was pre-
vailed upon = play at times.
Some Of the girls were dressed UP in
honest to goodness fish and soup, bor-
rowed. from obliging friends. Uncle
Sans military services, the army and
navy, were well represented by sailors,
marines, aviators. dougtboys and just
plain rockies in the crowd. The gowns
of the girls were many and vari-col-
ored, vamp curls, beauty spots and
sparklers added to the general attrac-
tiveness Of the fair sex. Ice cream was
served at intermission and the young
men did the honors up in fine manner.

ADJUSTMENTS
TO
MAKE A PERSON
FAIRLY GASP

Real love- making is an art. Any
girl will say that. when a Man
Loves" the big Vitagraph picture in
which Earle Williams will be seen at
the Colonial theatre today, is one of
the most artistic examples of how
to make love that the world has seen.
So successful is Williams in the
work he does, that he has come to be
called by some the greatest love-
maker on the screen. Anyway, in
this picture, he gives up castles and
titles for the woman he loves. 1t is a
clean, wholesome, refreshing picture
that cannot fail to appeal to old and
young. 1t is so full of genuine love
that men as well as women will find
much to yearn for in the production.
The picture has much out of the or
binary that win interest Colonial pa
irons. Not only are the lives of the
nobility lain bare, but there are
thrills of a nature to bring the spec
tators to their feet. Particularly is
this true, when Mr.. Williams is
called on to grapple with n jiu jitsu
artist and gets the better of him with
Il good old fashioned knockout
punch.
Mr.. Williams has the role of John
Howard Bannister, young English
man, the son of Lord Cecil Bannister,
who is due to inherit a fortune and a
title. His father and Lady Balfour
have arranged that he is, to marry
Lady Balfour's daughter. for good
and sufficient social reasons. 1t ap-
pears that John, by a mere freak of
chance really loves the girl-which
wouldn't have been necessary ac-
cording to the plans of the parents.
But the girl doesn't happen to love
John. He discovers this fact, and
Immediately kicks over the TRACES by
congratulating the other fellow and
stepping out of the triangle. John
goes to Japan to forget. This leads
to some surprising developments.
For real fun, there has been moth
ing given at the Colonial in long
time that has equalled the escapades
Of the Hall Room Boys. They will
be seen in another diversity today
called "A Howling Success" which is
all of that and some more. A new
Burton Holmes Travelogue and the
Kilograms will also be shown.-Adv.
