DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL
HEALTH ASSOCIATIONS

In organizing a local Public Health
ASSOCIATION Augusta is falling in line
with other cities all over the country
in a movement the value Of which
there can be no doubt. There are
approximately 10000 local health So
cieties in the country. 1t is a great
volunteer movement which has en-.
listed more than half a million public
spirited men and women in all walks
OF life. Augusta Is the third city in
Maine to organize a distinctly local
society although there are numerous
county health associations in the
State.
The work Of local society is car
r,cd on through committees such az
q nurses committee, a fresh-air
school committee. committees on
clinics and speakers bureau. The
successful public health organiza-
tons include in their membership
business men. physicians dentists.
labor leaders, farmers, nurses, club
women and educators. In fact. the
more representative such an associa-
tioa c.a he. the greater will be ITS in
Euence and success. The plan OF
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-09-22

having a broad and representative
membership is being adopted in Au-
susta.
In every state in the nation there
is a state organization that compares
with the Maine Public Health As
socation The majority of these or
carnations are anti tuberculosis. but
many Of the states are following
Names example and are reorganizing
their societies into state, public health
associations. The Maine, Public
Health Association and affiliated So
cicties cordially support the con-
stituted health authorities and sup
plement their activities. They
recognize the leadership of the medi-
cal profession in health matters.
The value of health work on
broad scale has come to be fully APP
prcciated only in the last few years.
Now, business men are quick to
recognize it's Importance as an
economic factor in the development
Of q community. Women and es-
pccially mothers have a keen ap-
probation of health work from the
standpoint of family economies and
happiness. Grange leaders instantly
see its great value.
Regarding the effect of this health
work, Walter D. Thurber. executive
secretary of the Maine Public Health
Association. points out that it is
shown in the mortality statistics that
the cooperation Of the people of the
state with the physicians and health
officers is proving a wonderful serv-
ice. The average length of life in
the past 20 years has been extended
more than five years; in the past 10
years the average length of life has
been extended three years. AS health
work continues to develop it is rea-
sonable to expect that still more
years will be added to the average
lifetime.

THE FARMERS MARKETING
PROBLEM

The proposed wholesale produce
market for Augusta seems to
hold much promise as a partial
solution Of the marketing prob
lem which confronts the average
small farmer in Maine. If by
pooling their interests a fair price,
regulated by the law of supply and
demand, can be maintained it means
prosperity to many a farmer who is
now unable to get even fair price
for his produce. On the other hand
it will mean something to the con-
Stunning public in stabilizins price and
quality. The surplus naturally would
have to be shipped, but by gathering
this surplus in one place with trained
shippers to handle it, it can be
graded properly and put on the
market at the proper time. Just as
combined purchasing power can COM
mand the lowest price. SO can COM
bined selling power regulate and con-
troll its markets. All success to the
new movement. We feel that the
Chamber of Commerce is the proper
body to handle this matter since it is
organized to work primarily for the
benefit of all classes and its inter-
probation of the community as
Couptywide matter is worthy of
commendation.

Recipe Of Sage Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
TO make it-at home. which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe. improved by the addition
of other ingredients,-at a small cost.
Don't stay gray. Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.-Adv.

The Ex.kaiser's Marriage
(The Washington Post)

(lne WdSulIlSlO ION IOS0
The official announcement of the
approaching marriage of the former
kaiser to Princess Herminie Won
Schoenaich- Carolath has only caused
a mild movement of curiosity
throughout the world. The medi-
OGRE interest taken in the event
gives the measure of the extent to
which the former ruler of Germany
has politically become back
number" A few >ultraconservatives
among the Prussian royalties arc de-
clared to be perturbed at the decision
of the exile of Doom, as they main
tain that such mesalliance as his
union with menu CT of an obscure
princely house will render his return
to the throne impossible.
AS there are many and much more
important reasons why William II
should not return to his throne, he
need hardly worry about the political
aspect of his forthcoming marriage.
1t is quite possible that the fact that
this union renders his return to power
out of the question is precisely the
reason why a large section of the
German monarchist party approves
it. They will now be finally rid of
his possible candidature in case of
monarchist restoration. Up to the
present the former kaiser was a mill
stone round the neck of the German
monarchist party. AS partisans of
the theory of the divine right of
kings, as long as he officially main
tained his claim to the crown they
could not dispute it, in spite of the
fact that the deep disfavor in which
he was held by the mass of Germans
dature hopeless.
BY contracting such a marriage the
former kaiser, by imputation, aban-
dons his claim to the throne, as by
German law the woman he is about
to marry could never share it with
him. This probably explains why
the crown prince has been so prompt
in giving his approval of the match,
as it now places him officially in
the front rank as candidate for the
royal dignity.
Another section Of the monarchist
party which is said to be completely
reconciled to the marriage is that
from which the so called service of
honor" at Doom was drawn. In
order to maintain the royalist 5dea,
a miniature court was formed there,
with chamberlains. aids de- camp and
other court officials, who voluntarily
furnished their services. 1t would
appear, however, that the atmosphere
of this miniature court was SO deadly
dull that these volunteer officials we're
bored to extinction. Exile has not
had the result of making William of
Hohenzollern any more amiatle or
one whit less autocratic than he was
as ruler. These partisans are there
fore delighted at the prospect of being
relieved from further service at Doom
castle and escaping the necessity of
making any further pilgrimagcs to
what has been up to now the mecca
of Prussian reaction.

Berlin Dreams of

Berlin. Sept. 21.-Will the air over

as mere pipe dreamers," dealing in
Just ordinary castles in the air"
The proposed ships would each
nave gas capacity Of 10000 to
100000 cubic meters. They would
tear through the clouds at the rate
OF l4O miles an hour unless there
was no urgent demand for speed. in
which case they would slow down
TO 100 miles. Such a vessel would
be 275 meters long, 35 meters wide at
It's greatest diameter, and 80 meters
nigh from the top of the gas-bag to
the bottom of the body. The power
would be provided by five motors of
500 horsepower each.
It's carrying capacity would he 20
900 Kilograms, of which 10000 would
be required for fuel, food, etcetera
the remainder being for mails and
passengers. The estimated passen
ger accommodations would allow for
