GEN. WOOD STARTS HEALTH
CAMPAIGN IN PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS.

MANILA, P. /, Nov. * by Mail.)
Governor General Wood Gas started an
intensive campaign to improve health
conditions in the Philippine Islands by
teaching the people how to avoid and
combat the most common diseases which
sap the vitality of the country He has
instructed the director of the Philippine
health service to prepare a circular set
ting forth the causes of various diseases
and the methods which can b. used to
prevent them and stamp them out. The
circulars are to be posted in public places
in every municipality of the islands, and
are to be read to every class in the pub
lie schools throughout the archipelago
ave must spare no effort TO improve
general health conditions in the islands, ="
said General Wood. 1--WE must especi-
ally pay attention to the need for COM
batting infant mortality. We must avoid
unnecessary wastage of life"
Addressing the women's clubs of Ma
Mia, .General Wood said: Politics has
been and still is being played against hu
man life, but We are going to stop 1t here
in the Philippines. We must have
centralized control of the sanitary sys-
TEN of the islands-one that will act
without political hamperlngs. We need
more hospitals throughout the islands,
we need more nurses throughout the
provinces.
Two thirds Of the abies who die in
infancy could be saved. One third of all
babies born die in the first year and two
thirds of these deaths are preventable.
The sanitary system is responsible for
many of the deaths. Undernourlshed
mothers form the second great reason for
the many deaths, and too much polished
rice is the chief reason for undernourish-
ed mothers. More meat and vegetables
and unpublished rice should be eaten"
Governor General Wood mentioned
four necessities for better living:
FIrst-More hospitals throughout the
provinces.
Second - More dlspensaries in the
provinces.
Third-Better distribution of medicines.
Fourth-Additional nurses in the is
lands.

PROGRESS

In 1922 there are more than 20 billion
dollars invested in railroads. With 7

Because freight traffic is lighter at this
time than it has been for several years,
several men employed in the freight and
car repair departments OF the Maine Gen.
trail railroad here and at Northern Maine
Junction have been laid off indeflniteS.
and 600 men employed in the car repair
shops at Waterville, Portland and South
Portland have been given a two weeks
vacation.
Experiencing the same conditions in the
freight business, the Bangor * Aroostook
railroad has laid off 300 workmen at the
Derby shops for one week, from Tuesday,
Dec u, until Tuesday, Jan. 8 No reduce
lions have been made in the fright de-
partment, however, although it is said
that the personnel of this department is
much smaller than it was last year at this
time.
Ordinarily the Maine railroads do big
business with the lumber companies and
potato shippers during the winter months.
This year. the volume of pulpwood and
potatoes hauled by the Maine Central and
Bangor u Aroostook S almost negligible.
Paper mills have large supply In reserve
and are not cutting this winter. Other
numbering concerns are Inactive. Con-
sequently, no supplies such as hay, grain,
and groceries are being conveyed into the
woods and no pulpwood is coming out.
Aroostook farmers. dissatisfied with the
market price offered for potatoes, are not
shipping their product to the metropolitan
markets, Bangor ComI.

THE DIFFERENCE.
From Chicago Tribune.

Democratic senators say that the four
ply treaty is Article X of the covenant
OF the league of nations in a new Dress
II is about as much like that article as
Henry Cabot Lodge is like Senator Wat
son of Georgia
Article K would have involved the
United States in troubles where it had no
stake. The four ply treaty extricates
the United States from troubles in which
it has stake.
Article x would have made the United
States responsible if Roumania UNDER
took to invade Jugo -Slavia or Russia
tired to get into Poland. The proposed
treaty makes Great Britain responsible
II Japan tries to hop the Philippines or
Hawaii.
The difference between Article X and
the proposed four ply treaty is just this:
In the former we were to pledge ourselves
to saw Europe's wood and use none of it.
In the latter we saw our own wood with
the help of France and England.
Ii the Democratic senators think the
treaty is Article X, they will vote to rat-
~. The United States should worry
what they think or say they think.

Many complaints are being received by
the street department in Biddeford about
sewers being blocked and storm waters
backing in cellars in several sections of
the city. For the most part these cases
of blocked sewers are caused by the man.
ufacturers of home brew dumping mash
into the sewers. The street crew hardly
gets one sewer in working order before
they are called to open another one block
ed by the same cause. During the past
week the men received two complaints OF
blocked sewers and after many hours of
hard work they uncovered sections of
pipe that was choked solid with the ingre-
dents of home brew.

MAINE CORN AT CHICAGO.

For the first time of the world famous
International Hay and Grain Show, held
in Chicago, the greatest show of its kind
held in the United States or Canada and
one of the greatest in the world, Maine
this year sent to this exhibition some of
its farm products for competition with
the world.
Word has just been received at the De-
partment of Agriculture that Dr. II. II.
Brock of Portland had won second place
in the Northern Zone with his exhibit of
8-rowed flint corn, 10 ears, and fourth
place with single ear of 8-rowed corn.
The Northern Zone of exhibitors in
cludes Canada and the northern tier of
the United States, from Maine to the
Pacific coast.
This achievement of Maine exhib-
itor of Maine grown farm product in
world contest undoubtedly will mean
larger number of exhibitors next year at
Chicago" said E. l.. Newdick of the
Maine Seed Improvement Association,
"and it also undoubtedly means that
Maine will bring home at least as many
prizes as this year and probably more"

LARGEST ROOM IN THE WORLD

Visitors to the conference are amazed
at the immensely Of the passenger con-
course OF the Union station Few know,
however, that it is regarded as the lar
gest room in the world under one roof
II is 100 feet in length, and an army Of
10000 men could be accommodated with
ease on its floor.
The other rooms of the station are Of
similar gigantic proportions. The main
waiting room is 220xl30 feet in area,
with height of 100 feet, the circular
window in each end being rs feet in d-
ameter.
The Union station itself is larger than
the Capitol, with length of 100 feet and
343 feet in width. Daniel Burnham was
the architect, and he copied some of the
details after the great triumphal arches
of Rome. The material used was YER

BUS VS.. TROLLEY

Electric railway systems can never be
supplanted by motor busses, in the opin-
ion of the bus men themselves
In recent speech G.. A. Green, gener-
al manager of the Fifth Avenue Coach
Co., New York City, said:
IN my opinion, the theory that the
car systems in any of the larger cities
can be supplanted by any standard type
OF bus now obtainable is absurd and not
worth any serious consideration. No
man with any elementary transportation
knowledge would think of backing such
astatement. The bus is not more econ
omical than the trolley car on the basis
OF cost per passenger carried, which is
the only real basis"

that if we do so no power on earth can

 Vitaminss
 Thousands of men and women arc falling offin health and vigor because the food they eat is lacking in ono element, without which they cannot keep fit. This element is Vitamine. Ordinary meatsand fish do not contain 1t. Milk is not rich in it. Manufac- tured foods have the Vitamines destroyed in the process of manufac ture. Some fruit juices are rich in Vitamines. A careful examination of experiments conducted by both British and American authorities shows that Oranges contain an abun- dance of both "B" and "C" Vita mines and Apples contain relatively largeamountofthcse vital substances.

3,I36 LICENSES
 UNDER SUSPENSION S4 of These Motorists Operated
 Cars While Intoxicated

The licenses of 528 motor vehicle past three months. according to in formation given out at the state mo- tor vehicle department. Eightyfour of the suspensions were due to the operation of automobiles by persons under the influence of liquor and thirty eight to fatal accidents. It brings the aggregate of licenses un- der suspension August 1, to 3,136.
 Thirteen specific reasons are ascribed for the suspensions of the past three months, not to mention those listed under miscellaneous reasons. June, with 257 cases, had by far the greatest number of sus- pensions, followed by July, with 165, and May with 106. Reckless driving cost the licenses of thirty-three op- orators; evasion of responsibility, 15; falsification of age. 4; driving unreg- istered vehicles, 2; taking automo- piles without permission, &: adjudg- ing of operators as improper persons, 3, failure to appear in court when summoned, 15: overlooking cars, A. second or tIlTu COllNlCLlOl Ol NlOld- ton of motor vehicle law, 8; physi- cal infirmity, l.; theft of motor ve- hicle, 6: miscellaneous, 105.
 The suspension of licenses of oper ators discovered with trucks greatly overloaded reached a high point in June, when there were thrty. The motor vehicle department is doing everything in it's power to cooperate with State Highway Commissioner Charles J Bennett in his effort to conserve the roads by keeping off of them trucks so heavy as to damage the surface Licenses of drivers found to have been operating over loaded trucks are suspended for ninety days.
 The names of 162 persons reported for driving motor vehicles while with out operators licenses were written into the department records during May June and July. This file is con- suited when new application for an operators license is received and the fact that an applicants name appears in it is sufficient to cause the re- jection of his application.
