Health Dept.
Asking $4,000
Budget Increase

An increase of $4,000 for each of
the two coming fiscal years is re-
quested by the state department of
health, according to the budget esti-
mate filed Saturday with the state
budget committee. The previous APP
propria ton was $11S.000. and the de-
partment is now seeking S154,000.
A statement accompanying the es-
Inmates declares that a larger appro-
priation for salaries and clerk hire is
necessary in order to get and retain
efficient and skilled assistance in the
laboratory and elsewhere. This item
calls for $4,000 instead of the sum
of S3S, 900 which has been previously
allowed.
The health department also says
that it must have more money in or
der to do any increased work in pub
lie health, and sets up these itmized
estimates.
District health centers. $4,000 In
place of $2S.000 as in 1923-24.
Nenereal diseases. $4,000 in place
of $4,000 in 1923-24.

Reports of six new forest fires, prac-

state forestry department on Satur-
day. This makes a total of IS fires.

occurred in the Maine woods in little
more than week. State Forest Com

whether the situation has become so
serious that there is likelihood of re-
strictions being placed on hunting.
One fire reported was at West Forks,
Somerset county. 1t covered about
five acres. and was said to he under
control. Another was in Township G,
Range s, Penobscot county. about six
acres in extent, and partly under CON

The living room is usually not
only the largest room in the house,
but it is also the room that is most
used. In most homes it serves as
the sitting room, the psrlor, the
library and the music room.
Because we do so many differ
'ent things in this room, we need
lighting that can be changed and
varied to suit our purpose. For
example, if we wish to entertain
cur friends by dancing or playing
cards, we should be able to food
the whole room with plenty of
soft. cheerful light; if we wish to
read or sew, we should be able to
have the light come over our
shoulder from behind a favorite
chair; if we wish to play the piano
and sing, we should have the mu-
sic we'll lighted. At all times the
lighting effect should be pleasant
and attractive.
! To get these effects, we need
three different kinds of lighting
equipment in the room. First we
have a fixture hung from the cell
ing with which we can flood the
room with light; then we have table
lamps and floor lamps which are
portable ard can be moved about
as furniture is rearranged, to give

New England
Fruit Show Will
Probably Be Held
At Boston in 1925

While no definite decision was
reached at the conference of New
England fruit growers held last
Thursday at Boston, the prospects
are bright for the holding of the
New England fruit show IN Boston
during the first week of November
1925. 1t was decided that each rep
resentative in attendance should
confer with the growers OF the yarf-
Gus New England states and the fl"
nal report will be made during the
first week of December.
G. A. Yeaton. State horticulturist
Of Maine, reports that Massachu-
sets has offered to give the use of
the hall for the show and also for
Massachusetts some of the premi-
ums. The New England fruit show
has not been held for a few years
past. Maine and the other New
England states made their exhibit
at the New York fruit show last
year. The Maine farmers feel that
it would be better to put all their
energies in advertising New Eng
land apples through New England
fruit show rather than going to New
York, for the Boston market is OF
more value to the Maine farmers
than the New York market.
