Whooping Cough

This is very dangerous disease
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoric'
codeine or other opiate is given, is cas-
lily cured by giving Chamberlain $
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that.it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy IS
given. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of whooping cough. with prom
ounced success, 1t is safe and pleas
ant to take.

C.. & C. Inspections

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections has made public it's re-
port of it's last inspection april 22)
of the Poland Town farm, which in
cludes the following:
Superintendent and Matron, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Thompson: salary
$3.50. A farm hand is employed in
summer. The previous superintend-
ent, Mr. Needham, who retired with
April 1, 1921, is given a word of APP
probation for the way in which he
left things. He left a good supply
of wood in stove lengths, canned
goods and vegetables. ut is unusual
for superintendent to show so much
consideration for his successor"
But one inmate, man over 60. He
has a front, downstairs room, with a
fire of his own; eats at table with
officers and is much pleased with his
treatment. No fire protection and no
toilet facilities, except earth closets.
Drainage adequate. Well water is
hard, and should be analysed to find
out what will soften it. Recommen-
dations--Paint the buildings; repair
piazza floor: install three liquid fire
extinguishers; reshingle barn.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-05-24

In most cases. too. the people who
are seeking care have no means with
which to pay the original admission
fee.
"Not infrequently, these requests
come from overseers of the poor of
towns which have no almshouse or
only small one, with no suitable &C
commodations for taking care OF
those who need little active medical
ton, but do need a good deal of over
sight, who are not actually sick in
bed, but nearly so. The hospitals
throughout the State are filled with
people who are susceptible Of i'm
provement from treatment and even
if they were not they cannot afford
to take care of these aged or inf1rm
persons for the prices the cities and
towns can afford to pay.
1.-THE longer am on this job, the
more / am convinced Of the need Of
a county or district inf1rmary to take
the place of the almshouse or as is
the case in most of the towns, no
almshouse at all. If all the members
of the legislature could do the work
that I am doing, for only few
months. any reasonable bill for the
establishment of such an institution
could be passed by unanimous
vote"

the losses thus far for 1921 in COR

STATE HOUSE
meeting Council, Friday June A.
Standard Time

The Executive Committee of the
Maine State Grange met Monday
forenoon at the Agricultural Depart
ment's offices at the State House and
gave it unqualified endorsement OF
the proposed establishment of CEN
trail purchasing organization for the
farmers. The full committee was
present, including State Master w. j.
Thompson of South China, Lecturer
c. o. Purinton of Bowdoinham, Sec
rotary +. II. Libby, L. +. McIntire of
East Waterford, F. T. Clifford of
Winthrop. F. a. Potter of Bangor, and
Ernest I. McGlaufflin of Pressure Isle,
and the conference was with Com
missioner of Agriculture Frank ?.
Washburn and Charles NJ. White,
chief of the Division of Markets, of
that department.
The agricultural situation in Maine
was canvassed at length and the con-
ferees were of the unanimous opinion
that, inasnuch as the local cooper
ative organizations were proving that
the farmers are able and capable to
conduct this line of cooperative work
in business like manner, that the
next logical step will be to develop
in a business like and efficient means
of obtaining the supplies needed by
communities as near the producer
and manufacturer as possible.
This is in line with the spirit of
eliminating all unnecessary expense
in the distribution of supplies, which
is becoming very strong throughout
the country.
After discussing many details as to
the proper form of organization and
means to be employed for the proper
financing. it was unanimously voted
to heartily endorse the efforts of the
Department of Agriculture and other
farmers organizations of the State in
