year for common schools was $2l, ,64S. .96;
and the amonut spent was $l7, 1854 AZ,
leaving a balance unexpended of 49,
8S4 4S. The amount expended for high
schools was $6,242.27, and there is sn
unexpended balance of $1,200.01.
On the whole the schools of the town
seem to have been prosperous during the
past year. Clarence A. Dyer In bis re
port as principal of the South Paris High
School called attention to the need Of
more room In the high school building
and he thought the union high school
plan suggested . few weeks ago by Super
intendent Morrill, of the Norway schools
that is, q building between these vii
lagos for the accommodation of students
from each town-the most feasible plan.
The present building could be used for
the grammar school or junior high
school.
The same condition in regard to room
exists In the West Paris High School
building according to the report OF Prin-
oipal Ray ymond W. Blaisdell.
Miss Helen Barnes reports that consid-
erable progress has been attained 10 mn.
sic In the Paris schools this year. One
concert was given this year by the grade
schools of South Paris, assisted by high
school girls, and the operetts, "Polished
Pebbles" given by the West Paris High
School. This year two concerts are
planned, one to be given at West Paris
and one at South Paris.
The Board of Health reported that
there were 275 cases of Spanish influenza

Some people claim that the vitamines
are lessened in efficiency in remade milk.
This does not seem to be true, as it has
been proved that 'cows' milk, during
the process of desiccation, loses none OF
the haracteristlcs which are necessary
for the support of normal growth In In
fants. Teething and walking begin at
normal ages, and there is no greater
liability OF ricketts, and sourvy." Vita
mines are also presumed to be present
In butter which means that additional
growth promoting substances are added
In rsmade milk, and the process OF
assimilation is enhanced by controlling
the percentage of fat In infants milk, an
essential for real nutritive value.
In conclusion, I certainly am very
enthusiastic concerning the future oi
remade milk, and feel certain that there
will be large increase in its consump
ton, especially when the real signif
canoe and appreciation OF the product
are realized. There are unlimited oppor
tunities for remade milk 10 warm oil

eat candy with their luncheon. The
government used to be able to control
the amount Of sugar that could be
used In candy, but government con-
troll OF food consumption is d thing
OF the past. Very few efforts are
made toward conservation. It is
true that the food administration

Indeed, Secretary Houston en-
phasized the fact that it was to a
large extent outside the home. in
the restaurants, cafes, soda foun-
tains and pastry shops where the
consumption of sugar had risen,
although the extravagant use OF
pies and other sweets in the home
was by no means a small factor in
the SO pounds per capita consump-
ton last year.
Not Excusing the Pr0fiteer.
Nobody, on the other hand, ex-
cuses the profiteer who has taken
advantage of the demand for su-
gar to raise prices, but if the de-
mand hadn't existed the profiteers
would never have had their oppor-
tunity. Some people here are in
clined to think the coming of ma
tional prohibition had a good deal
to do with the over-consumptiOn of
sugar, but it will be observed that
the figure SO was the average for

Charles H. Markham, who today
enters upon his Goth year, has been
president Of the Illinois Central
railway system the last 10 years.
When Mr.. Markham went to work
at the age of 20 as a day borer,
it would have seemed rash to pre-
dict that he would one day be num-
bered among the foremost railway
executives in America. Clarks-
vile, Tenn, was his birthplace,
and his education was such as the
public schools of his native town
afforded at that time. In 1881 he
began his railroad career as a sec
ton hand on the Atcl ison, Topeka
and Santa Fe lines. A few months
later he became connected with the
