that the disease had been arrested to

is related in a pamphlet written re-
Gently by DR.. Dean and DR.. ]. T. Me-
Donald, Of the United States Public
Health Service.
The pamphlet. published by the
American Medical Association, said
that there had been a well defined
development not only in method but
also in the synthetic production of
the fatty acids OF chaulmOogra oil.
"As has been pointed out,
there is no way of demonstrating
that any person has been cured absO-
lutely of leprosy. but the ninety four
patients who have been paroled are
believed to be free from the dis
ease" the pamphlet said. Up to
the present time no one Of the pa
tients paroled since October ]. 1913,
has shown a recurrence of the disease
1t is probably to be expects ID that oc-
casional cases will show recurrence

An interesting story is told regard
ing one of the most popular songs in
the world, The Old Folks at Home
lis author was stephen Collins
Foster. Who has been called "Ameri-
cas- premier balladist." He wrote 40
songs, including "Old kentucKy
Home" "Old Black Joe" and "Old
Uncle Ned"
when he had written "The Old
Folks at Home" he was displeased
with the name OF the river given IN
the second verse; in the original the
verse runs:
Way down upon de Pedee Ribber,
Far, far away,
Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber.
Dere's wha my brudders play.
He asked his brother Morrison for
a better name for the river:
What Southern stream do you
suggest instead Of Pedee?'" Morri-
son offered YaZoO, which stephen
thought wouldn't do. "Well let's con-
suit an atlas" said Morrison. ON q
map of Florida they found niue
river called Swanee. That's 1t ex-
actly," cried stephen.
Although millions Of copies OF F'Os-
ter's songs were sold. his life Was a
tragic one. He gave his hrst Two
songs to friend, who made S1Q.80s
out Of them. Marrying In 1850. hts
life was very unhappy. Eventually
he went to New York, where he be-
came a yagabond.
1t was at this period Of his life that
he strayed one day into shop and
sitting at a piano, won from the keys
the wistful, pleading tune, Come
Where My Love Lies Dreaming" A
man who was present offered him -
for the song. and he accepted crate
fully.
Foster died in a public ward at the
Bellevue Hospital, New York, and Ii
entered on the records as laborer.

IF any one doubts the benefits OF
vaccination and hygiene regulations

said Mr.. Embree yesterday. "Small-
pox patients in an active stage Of the
disease go about the streets; typhoid
fever is rampant; anemia from hook
worm and other intestinal parasites
seemed almost universal.

gren is expected in Portland early
this coming week. He is now on his
way from Cleveland, Ohio, where he
has been coaching at Western Re-
serve college since lie close of the
Bowdoin football season. 1t is ex-
pected that he will pass Christmas
with relatives in Boston and will ar
rive in Portland either Tuesday or
Wednesday when he will consult with
Portland members of the Bow6on
Athletic Council and will make his
final decision relative to the Bowdoin
offer.
A committee from the Bowdoin
Athletic Council approached Coach
Ostergren before he left for Cleveland
in November and asked him to return
to Bowdon next fall as the football
coach 1t is understood that an in
crease in salary over last fall was one
of the stipulations of the new con-
tract. Coach Ostergren was then I'M
decided relative to the matter. He
told the committee that he was pleas
cd at Bowdoin and liked the place
and the students very much. but he
wanted to get. eventually, into more
serious profession and he felt that
he should got into something which
would he a round year position. He
promised the committee. however.
that he would not make any final de-
cision until they had > chance to talk
with him again.

at Bowdoin to retain Coach Oster-
gren. The alumni from all over the
country have flooded the college with
MESA ges both direct and indirect to

other year. The Athletic Council has
been in lengthy meetings In an en-
deavor to find solution and to make
il possible for the successful coach to

first topics of conversation is on the
successful Bowdoin football season

Coach Ostergren will return.

the job OF Goa ching at Western Re-
serve college for next year which
would mean an all-round year posi-
ton. 1t is understood that he has
had offers from other colleges. at
least one or two in the New England
States. But it is known that he
would return to Bowdoin next fall
provided he could obtain an all-round
year position, if not with the college
itself, then one which would allow
him a couple months in the fall off
TO coach at Rowdoin.
Arrangements have been made for
him to stop off in Now York on his
way to New England and to meet
several prominent New York alumni.
1t is understood that they have some
thing up their sleeve to offer Coach
Ostergren in the way of an al-round
year position which will make it pos
aible kor him to coach football in the
fall.
/ Unusual interest centers in the f.
nal decision of Coach OsterGren on
the matter. Bowdoin has an exceed
ingly hard football schedule next fall
and Bowdoin alumni and undergrad
yates are particularly anxious 10 re-
peat another season the success Of
last year. With a man the caliber Of
Coach Ostergren at the helm sue

FALL RIVER SCHOOL
HOUSE A TOTAL LOSS

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 26.-The
Henry Lord Grammar school was to-
tally destroyed by fire tonight. entail
ing loss estimated at 100000. The
cause Of the fire is believed to have
been defective wiring.
The school was a modern 21room
structure. nine rooms of which We're
completed and IL rooms were under
construction. When completed the
building was to have capacity OF
200 pupils.
One fireman was injured when part
OF the south wall collapsed. At 1890
the fire was still burning fiercely. but
owing to calm weather conditions and
the location of the building it was BE-
Aeved that the spread of the flames
to neighboring buildings would be pre-
vented
