land with Carl Jackson of Portland
as helper and loaded with general
freight from the A. &c p. Warehouse
at Portland with the A. d j. store

which you have helped to lay. 1t
would be a travesty to build cheaply
and insecurity on such a foundation.
Thus the inheritance which you
have given to the State of Maine and
to the present generation is produc-
tive of more than mere material
things-it also supplies us with an
inspiration, the value of which can
not be measured in money.
Health means much and is of
great value anywhere-but to those
of us who live in Maine, Health in
Maine is of prime Importance. Our
bracing air which keeps the blood
astir, our great outdoors fragrant
with our native pine, our abundant
supply of pure water, our love of
the simple things-all furnish an OPP
portunity for health in Maine. Our
association has foundry a careful
comparative study that the average
length of life in Maine is seven and
six-tenths years longer than the av-
erage for the United States. We have
found that those who live in Maine
have as chances out of 100 to live
beyond the age of 65 years as COM
pared with 80 chances out of 100 in
the balance of the United States as
a whole.
with the help of the Maine Med
ical Association. the federated clubs,
the parent-teacher associations, the
manufacturers, the dental societies,
the oranges the state and local school
authorities and thousands of public
spirited Maine men and women the
Maine Public Health Association
cooperating with the state and local
health officers-proposes to continue
its activities until Maine is definitely
and widely recognized as THE
IIealthiest State. The Maine Three
Quarter Century Club-with its
thousands of rugged men and bright
eyed women-supplies striking and
convincing proof that Maine is
splendid state in which to live.
