WHAT PRESS AGENTS SAY


During the engagement of the Devereux
company here at the Grand theater they
will present Edmund Rostands delightful
play "Romancers' on Saturday.

1894 when the great French dramattst was
only twenty five years old 1t. is a peetical
play of exquisite beauty, and the transla-

rhyming verse.
The story opens with the youthful lovers,
Sylvette and Percinet, leaning, over the wall
that separates their homes. They have been
forbidden to have anything to do with one

deadly enemies, after the manner OF those

what medicine is suited to his all

Noteworthy among Maine COM
munities for its progressive spirit
in matters pertaining to public health
is the town of York, York county,
where full time health officer has
been employed for the past five
years. It is unusual for a single town
Of comparatively small population to
take upon its shoulders the expense
Of full time health officer. but at
York the people are cheerfully bear
ing per capita expense Of one dollar
year to pay for such. an officers
salary and equipment, per capita
rate far in excess Of what larger
town or a city would need to assume.
There Is a very practical reason
why York is listed among the pion-
GERS in Maine in health work and the
health story Of this town Is well
worth the attention Of cities and
towns throughout the State who are
yet weighing the advantages of full
time man. York is reaping not only
physical well being but financial gain
from it's investment It's prosperity
depends in large manner upon the
thousands OF summer visitors who
throng its beaches and tax the capa-
city OF its hotels and cottages during
the summer months. Just previous
to 1915, the town found this great
source Of income imperiled for fire.
quent outbreaks Of typhoid fever
were driving vacationists to more
healthy summer resort centers.
In October, 1914, a health survey
was made and was followed by the
appointment Of full time health Of

Technology School for Health Off

Since that date the health interests

and its summer resorts have been I'M

once menaced their popularity. w.

Portland was the second Maine
municipality to fall in line in the
health crusade and on June l, 1916,
DR.. Thomas Tetreau was chosen for
full time officer there. He has been
on duty ever since and has with the
Portland Board Of Health conducted
a vigorous campaign against conta-
gion and disease which has lowered
the city's death rate appreciably.
Bath has to its credit the third full
time health officer in Maine. Chester
S. Kingsley. formerly with the dag
nostic Laboratory Of the State De-
partment Of Health at Augusta and
now in. charge of the branch state
laboratory at Bath. holds the posi-
ton. Health work with a full time
trained man was begun in Bath as a
war measure under the auspices Of
the federal government and was con-
Quoted for over a year on trial
basis. So convinced were Bath Off
Gals Of the efficiency Of the work,
that recently. following the with
drawal Of government support, it was
voted by the city government to put
the position Of full time health officer
on permanent basis and Mr.. Kings
