DUBLISHERS that paid 2
cents and more for white
paper recently will read this
with interest:
The prime minister Of New
foundland announces that the
output Of paper will be trebled
in that country. Two hundred
and fifty thousand more horse
power will be harnessed and put
10 work on paper machines
That is welcome insurance
against another squeezing oper-
alton such as put many of the
weaker publishers out of busi-
ness not long ago.
INTERESTING flying machine
= news. One difficulty is to
lind your way at night in the
fog, or at sea or over deserts.
The French, to establish ma
chine routes of the Sahara Des-
ert will bury a 10th cable" un-
der the sands straight across
the route. The man in the
flying machine is able by an
electric device to follow the
cable. At intervals, along the
cable line through the ocean of
sand, the flying machines will
find supplies. Would a cable
stretched across this continent
enable fliers at night or in the
log to keep a straight course,
with an instrument to warn
them of deviation? Has the
postoffice tried the 10th
cable?
THE FRENCH, with the CO.

officials, are making another
most interesting automobile ex-
pertinent, sending five machines
Of the caterpillar" type 1000
miles across the Sahara. The
caterpillar" crawls along the
ground with grip such as no
other machine possesses, and is
the only machine that can finally
solve the pulling problem. The
difficulty now is the wear on
caterpillar" mechanism by sand
and gravel, quickly wearing out
the crawling apparatus.
THE ORDINARY tractor would

to give as much grip as can We
obtained from a caterpillar"
and a wheel of that height would

THE DEBT of this country is

Almost twenty-three thousand
million dollars. 1t is a large
sum, worthy of earnest thought
by those who would gayly in
crease it to finance Europe and
more European fighting.
The amount is 1926 for every
man, woman and child in the
country. Not all they are worth,
but enough. The comfort is in
other figures.

What Is Public Health!
by
Mrs. A. II. Foster, II. n.

1t is the state ideal of having
thrnout the country men and women
who are 100 per cent physically.
And in as much as the most brilliant
soul must function through the body
by that means the mental and moral
health of the community will be
improved.
Since the war many volunteer
societies bave pointed the way toward
better health There is the Red Cross
whose peace time program is to min
lister to the public health; there is the
National Tuberculosis association
which is doing wonderful work in
disseminating a knowledge OF care
treatment and prevention of tuber-
culouS and is now deVoting It's
attention as well to housing problems;
there Is the Child Welfare association
which by it's literature and posters is
helping to make people take thought
to the health of their communities;
there is the Child Health association
which by its plays for its children,
its health poster contests, and It's
publicity agents make health teach
ing attractive to all ages. Then the
Women's magazines have health and
Better Baby departments, at least two
of them providing free literature and
advice to mothers. Added to this
there Is the Public Health association
to provide nurses who are trained in
the work of Selling Health to
Communities
Many of these activities existed
before the war but it took the war to
popularize health movements. 1t
took a catastrophe like the wart to
sober people into realizing that they
knew more about raising hogs than
children. And even yet many people
are prepared to think the "old way
best" Since the civil war the most
of the states have had their health
departments which like so many
states activities have not become a
personal matter to it's citizens except
perhaps when very serious offense
has been committed against the laws
of sanitation or when the question oil
vaccination or quarantine has been
under discussion.
No state has better health laws than
the State of Maine or better health
is It that so few people patronize their
own department of health? II they
need a bulletin about raising hogs
or turkeys or apples there is no he
station in writing for information;
but when it comes to the feeding OF
infants that seems to be immaterial.
Every woman apparently is supposed
to be born with knowledge of how
to care for her infant although every
bit of her education would lead one to
believe that that was not her business.
Now your own department of health
at Augusta can furnish you with up
to-date information on all your health
problems. In fact the work of all the
organizations above mentioned are
paralIeled by your own health de-
partment. For any information on
how to keep healthy write the depart
ment of health of your state or ask the
nurse.

The Kind Cd Work that Counts
lBy X 7. Pattenl

In our issue of October We print
ed an account OF the theft OF two
coats, Miss Burrils and Miss Nc
Donoughs during the Athens Fair, a
subsequent arrest and the return OF
the garments This is one OF Sheriff
Mooers quick action jobs. 0rdinari-
ally, If a coat Is missing from an auto
mobile when thousands have had the
opportunity to take it, pursuit is deem
ed hopeless but Mr. Mooers does not
take things that way. or course 1t
is not every time that he is able to
make the phenomenally successful
stroke which he did IN this case. But
he often does and is entitled to COM
mendation anyway whether he sue
ceeds or not.
The value of the property involved
In this case of course was not great;
that is not the chief consideration.
Every time thief, petty or otherwise
is promptly caught. all other malefac-
tors are discouraged. From this
point of view it is just as important
to catch and punish man who steals
a hen or pair of gloves as it is to
apprehend anyone for stealing a $4,000
automobile.
We wish Mr. Mooers good luck In
every such effort. The public can
help by word of commendation and
by cooperating whenever called upon.
