On June gath, the finger, which up TO
that time had caused the petitioner
no trouble, suddenly became swollen
and painful. to the extent that surgi-
cal treatment was required. DR..
Parmalee of Auburn was consulted
by the petitioner and he diagnosed
the case acute blood poisoning and
attended the injured finger.
I'm view of the long time between
the date of the injury received while
playing baseball and the date when
the blood poisoning first became ap-
parent, and in view of the nature of
the work in which Mr. Frank was en-
gagged at the mill during that period.
it would seem that the only reason
able and probable cause of the blood
poisoning from which he suffered

Send Out Italians
To Send Home Money

Romel Jan. 17-Professor Ugo
Ancona, former Under Secretary of
Transportation, estimates that at
least 100000 emigrants must leave
Italy within the next two years if
the nation is to prosper. He sug-
gests that the government aid emil
grafton by transforming>cargo vessels
into emigrant ships, because the
greatest present obstacle to emigra~
ton is the lack of transportation facili-
ties.
The professor proposes that italian
emigration should be conducted in a
new and systematic way He has advo-
Gated plan of collective emigration
to include large and complete units of
labor. comprising not only laborers
but engineers, experts, managers and,
if possible. capitalists, who would all
emigrate together to the countries
where they are most needed.
He points out that if 1900, 900 emf
grants were to leave Italy in the next
two years they would send back home
something like $1,000, 100000 which
bringing foreign capital into Italy,
would go far toward raising the ex-
change value Of Italian money. This
value is now SO low that it crushes
initiative and prevents immediate
regeneration of Italian finances.

Ellsworth Summer Camp
War Veterans Again Favored

Ellsworth. Maine, has for the second
time been chosen as the home of the
Summer Camp for War Veterans who
were wounded during the war and who
are studying under the Federal Board
at the Boston University College of
Business Administration, according to
Professor Charles Z. Bellatty, director
Of the camp.
This was the only school of its kind
last summer. Out of 10000 men under
training by the Federal Board through
out the United States, only the So
who went to Ellsworth We're permitted.
to join summer camps. Although the
authorities at Washington were dubious
over the success of this venture, the
scholarship among the students was so
high and the physical benefit SO mark
ed that this year the camp has their
entire approval, and 125 per cent. more
men are to go from Boston University.
Several other Federal Board summer
camps are also to be formed because
of the success of this plan.
Besides the Federal Board men, over
fifty regular students who wish to take
makeup work are planning to go to
Ellsworth. The government pays for
the tuition and books of the Federal
Board men and gives them 500
month for board and incidentals.

The Belfast City Farm
RepOrt of Last INSPECTION

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections has issued an interesting
report of the last inspection of the
City farm at Belfast, which says in
part:
This farm has been carried on by
two generations of the Hayfords.
The superintendent and matron, Mr..
and Mrs. Ralph Hayford, own and
run the farm and take care of all
poor by contract, receiving for this
service $500 per year, which amount
takes care of all expenses except
medical attention. Mr.. Hayford has
had 16 years experience on this farm,
his father before him having charge
of the poor, so he was brought up in
the work. Mr.. Hayford seems to
take great interest in the inmates
and above all things seems to try and
make them feel as happy and con-
tented as if they were in their own
homes and not to feel that they are
paupers. Two men are hired to help
with the farm work. Mrs. Hayford
does the work in the house. The last
thorough inspection was made by the
overseers of the poor on Oct. 1,
1920.
At present there are eight inmates.
all males, seven being over so years
and apparently senile, and one under
so. Two help with the farm work;
receiving small wages, which they
carefully save. and when they get
enough, take week or two vacation
in town.
All inmates appear to be very we'll
contented with their life and sur
roundings and seem happy. All were
we'll supplied with reading matter
and individual towels and drinking
cups. Tramps and Migrants are not
encouraged.
The farm buildings are located on
the road between Belfast and Bel
mont, rather a pretty location. The
inma ties are kept in a small building
directly behind the main buildings,
living room downstairs was neat and
clean. A large stove furnished suf-
ficient heat for the eight old men.
who were sitting around the room,
chewing and smoking and telling
stories. They seemed to be enjoying
themselves greatly. A trip up the
rude but easy stairs brought the in
spector into a long room, used for a
bedroom for several men. Opening
directly off this was another bedroom
of about the same size. which ac-
commodated the rest of the inmates.
The beds were comfortable and clean.

If You know of some one who is

from total deafness. In England
scientists for long time past have
recognized that catarrh is consti-

Sprays. inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into the
middle ear which frequently means
total deafness, or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages to-
wards the lungs which is equally as
dangerous. The following formula
which is used extensively in the damp
treatment and should prove espe-
cially efiicaeious to sufferers here who
live under more favorable climate
conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce

water and a little graduated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times a day. This will
often bring quick relief from Distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the infiamna
ton in the eustachian tubes is re-
duced. Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system and has tonic
action that helps to obtain the desired
results. The preparation is easy to
make. costs little and is pleasant to
take. Every person who mas csaaTrn

chairman of the Maine Industrial Ac-

From the evidence submitted it is
found that the injury complained of
by the petitioner was not received by
the petitioner while engaged at her
occupation for Burnham & Morrill,,
but was received by the petitioner
while fooling with other employees
during the noon hour, and therefore
it was not personal injury by ac-
cident arising out of and in the
course of the employment of the Pc
titioner." says Major Thayer' in his
decision.

the running of expenses of the State

passed last week by the Legislature.
They wish this explanation of the
situation made, because some of the
clerks and others, whose pay has not
been forthcoming. have been inclined
to lay the blame on the treasury de-
