Dr. Fowler thinks nothing is gained

"If gas is burned in closed room, y
he said, 1.-The sleeper is not benefited
The gas burns the oxygen and only
harm can result"
Sleeping rooms. the health officer
stated, should be we'll ventilated. There
is not always a perfect combustion ir

sons are likely to mistake the odor oi

the small quantity Of gas escaping

Work of Charities Board

the work of the State Board of
U,harlties and Corrections was out
nned IN brief address by CRUDE B.
C.ornlsh, its secretary, who stated
mat there are three phases of the
aepartments work.
FIRST is the supervision of all
charitable and correctional institu-
IONS IN the State. In many cases
alhsnouses should be closed, he de-
elared. They are often a disgrace
10 the town and State.
\, second, there is the department of
Mothers' Aid. under which about 600
women of Maine are receiving aid
Nun the State in varying amounts.
Mr' Cornish told the health workers
nat ne hoped they would recon-
~. hend only worthy cases in order that
hue hue money may be properly distri-
S St.eo. For this purpose there is
n na.e appropriation of 100000, sup
ap;ieeinented by a like amount from
e';les and towns.
hrnnlrd, there is the department of
Sehmieorens Guardians, under which
ssaiHiaren, who are abused or neglect
"; may be committed to the board.

Welcomed by Gov. Baxter
Governor Baxter, in addressing the
" delegates, said that he wanted to
welcome them to the State House,
and to say that we are always glad
to have such organization as yours
hold their meetings here for this is
the seat of government and the place
for organizations that have the pub
lie welfare at heart.
1T is your State House." he said.
hThere are no secrets here. If there
have been any skeletons in the
closets they have been pulled out.
This is a health meeting. There
is no question of deeper interest to
the people of Maine than the health
Of our citizens. l desire to do all
in my power to promote rational
health work in the state.
There is a wonderful opportunity
. to acquire health in Maine. I can
not think of any reason why we
should not head our sister states in
health. 1t is your place and my
place to correct conditions and by
example and precept to tell the peo-
;, pie how they can improve health.
Plenty of exercise, plenty of

food and warm clothing are my
p standards for good health.
Nothing contributes quite so
much to the health of community
q as good water supply, and we have
e been fortunate in this state in this
respect.
/, Il hope your sessions will prove
- interesting and helpful. We want
to be human and look at things
from the human point of view.
p THE state health department is
doing good work. This health
f work must grow Every legislature
has been liberal in it's appropriation
for health work. l have seen a
steady helpful growth in this work,
since I became member of the
legislature in 1905"
During his address. Gov. Baxter
mentioned one or two points which
g he suggested might be worthy of
discussion by the health officials as
sembled. The first was contained
q in letter from the librarian, ask
2 Ing If 1t is safe for public Libraries
to circulate books which have been
in families where there is tubercu-
losis The governor said that he
would hesitate about using books
that had been in such families, and
U that the librarian had said that he
took such books to the boiler room
and destroyed them. 1t is quite a
loss, said Governor Baxter, and I
. would like to see if it is necessary
4 to destroy them.
Another question is regarding the
disposal of carcasses of animals con-
= demned for tuberculosis, whether
any part of such creatures is fit to

IKE to think that any part is con-

AUXILIARY SETS S6OO,0OO
ASIDE FOR SCHOOL EDIFICES
FUNDS FOR NEW WHITE SCHOOL
BUILDINGS FOR THIS YEAR
John B. Hutton of Dover, Succeeds
Henry Ridgely, Resigned, as Kent's
Member on the Auxiliary Board

The Delaware School Auxiliary As
sociation, which has the administra-
tion of the P. S. dupont Educational
Fund, appropriated 100000 for the
purpose of erecting new schools for
white children during the ensuing
year at special meeting Monday In
the offices of the Service Citizens, du-
POnt Building. After a conference of
the auxiliary with the State Board of
Education, announcement of the towns
or districts where new schools are to
be built will be made. Delegations
of trustees from Newark and Days
boro school boards were given a hear
ing. Both towns are planning to
build new schools and are soliciting
aid from the auxiliary. John B. Hut
ton, of Dover, was elected to serve on
the board of the auxiliary in place of
Henry Ridgely, who recently resign
ed. Support Of the visiting teachers
was also pledged by granting sufi-
cient funds for that purpose to the
State Board of Education. 1t is un-
derstood that the visiting teachers
will give considerable attention to the
Parent-Teachers Society, one of the
most important branches of the auXil-
iaTy. Due to the failure of the Leg
islature to make any appropriation
for medical inspection in schools or
for the Dental Unit, the auxiliary de
cided to discontinue their support of
these activities. Notwithstanding
that the benefits to the children were
shown in demonstrations of this work,
the Legislature made no appropriation
and in view of this fact it was decid-
ed to discontinue the auXiliary's aid
