GOOD HEALTH RESULTS

The past year, which was marked with
lessening death rate for nearly all COM
municable diseases, shows a further en-
couraging sign in the phenomenally low
figure of tuberculosis deaths in Maine
during the past twelve months
The total of deaths for tuberculosis in
all forms in Maine during 1919 was but
789 of which 638 were of the pulmonary
type. Just how markedly downward is
the tendency of this "white plague" can
be shown no more strikingly than by
quotation of the figures for 1892, the
year when Name was first admitted to
the federal registration area, and the first
recorded statistics were made. For that
year there were 1913 tuberculosis deaths
of which 1852 were pulmonary. These
figures indicate that the disease has been
reduced practically one-half in the last %
years and brings the hopeful message of
still further reduction which can be safe
ly predicted for the future.

To Pinch the Speeders

The town authorities ha v e
taken steps to enforce the speed
law in Clay City against automo.
bihsts. The limit is fifteen miles
per hour, and no greater. This
has been brought about on ac-
count of very reckless driving by
some of the younger boys.
1t is often necessary TO speed
up a little to keep the pestifer-
ous urchins from Jumping on q

which, if indulged in, is liable to
get some one in on a charge for
murder when they will not be to
blame.

to put it into it, and buy 1T. The
owners did not want to sell, but
they finally did. We had much
rather they could have arranged
for some one else to publish 1t,
but their failure to make such
arrangements, lets us back
agin" and we shall do our bestto
give the people of Powell a good
paper.
So send in your renewals and
items of news as formerly and
we will be pleased to take care
of them.

gift, because he has sent the gift.
2. Thou shalt remember first the
very young and the very old.
3. Thou shalt buy within thy means,
remembering the spirit of the gift and
not the value.
4. Thou shalt not become a party
to the mere exchange Of gifts. Let
the heart go with each and every
greeting or present thou sendeth out.

thy skill may warrant, inasmuch as
the work of thy hands gives added
value to the offering.
6. Thou shalt tie up no bitter re-
membranes with a gift, but only
peace and good will.
7. Thou shalt have thy gifts sew
eral days before the time of delivery,
that the immediate days before
Christmas may be filled with peace
and happiness, and not with turmoil
and frenzy. -..
8. Thou shalt seek the abodes of the
poor and friendless with such whole
some gifts as may cheer and nourish
their hungry bodies and hearts.

gifts. Thou shalt show thy gratitude
in more sincere ways.
