 In granting that motion Judge Dickinson said: "A great lawyer, a beloved friend and faithful servant of inc state has passed on. You. as mem hers of the bar of Windham county have prepared resolutions in his honor. It is fitting that his memory should be perpetuated in the manner vou desire. It is therefore ordered that these resolutions be spread upor the records of this court.

In every sense he was a great lawyer and in the practice of his profession he never forgot that his first duty was to see that justice was done whatever else might result.
 The community in which he lived and the state at large, held him in high esteem for his services in public life. As States Attorney. Secretary of the State, Senator and Representa-

State Commissioner
Of Health Delivers
Final Address Of Year

Or. Clarence T. Kendall was the
speaker at the final health meeting at
the Sisters Hospital yesterday after
noon. His subject was "Preventable
Diseases DIR. Kendall is head of the
state Department of Public Health
ana Is we'll versed in the subject on
which he addressed the audience. He
cohhned his talk wholly to contagious
diseases, discussing in the main small
pox diphtheria and measles.
He sketched briefly the history Of
smallpox, telling how in the early DAYS
before medical science found means of
combating this dread disease, whole
communities were swept out of exist
ence within a short time of the be-
ginning of the epidemic.
The speaker remarked an eminent
authority has stated that man should
i've to be at least 140 years old, but
that the average expectancy of living,
at birth, Is 52a years. And after the
hrst birthday this is increased to 81
years. He said that the chance of a
long life has been materially increased
during the last few years.
DR.. Kendall declared that the object
or medical science at the present day
is, first, to prevent disease and, second,
~ SN'tNAO4 oiSNoSC OiNS IL HAS 6ldTI6u,
and third, to teach the proper method
Of living that disease may become of
itself extinct with the ensuing genera
lions. He spoke of the success with
which tuberculosis has been combatted
in Maine during the past 80 years. The
death rate at the present time Is less
than one-half of what it was In 1892.
The speaker strongly urged vaccina-
ton for everyone, saying that unless
people were willing to do this it was
only a question of time when Maine
would have an epidemic of smallpox.
DR.. Kendall stated that diphtheria
might soon become completely under
control. He spoke of the benefits Of
anti-toxin and also told of a method
for incubation which would bring
about complete immunization.
Measles is highly contagious dis
ease. according to DR.. Kendall, and one
of the most dangerous contagious dis
eases, not so much of the measles it.
self, but because of the complications
which almost invariably follow. He
said it was very foolish for parents
to believe that it was advisable for
children to have measles in order to
have it over WITH because, as matter
of fact, the death rate among children
is particularly high. OF the many per-
manent injuries which follow this dis
ease are blindness. deafness and per-
manent impairment of general health.
In closing, DR.. Kendall spoke of the
financial loss caused by sickness and
also of the interest industry is taking
in preventing disease by having
nurses to inspect the working and liv-
ing conditions of their workers.

Possible Alibi
For Man Accused
Destroying Pool Room

While the police are making no

who is believed to have destroyed
the Royal Pool room sometime last
week. an interesting fact concern
ing the case was made public Sat-

nression that the pool room had
bsen wrecked sometime between Sat-
urday night and Monday morning of
last week, as Mr.. Nagem had been
seen on Sunday and also at the rail-
road station, where he purchased
ticket on Monday. However, it de-
yeloped that noise was heard in the
building in which the pool room is
located late Wednesday evening. No
lights were on in the building and
1t is not known for fact that Mr..
Nagem was at his place at that
time. However, it is known that he
slept within the pool room, and link

Waterville Fire
Department Answers
Three Calls Sunday

The Wateryille fire department had
a busy day yesterday answering
three calls, but fortunately the
damage at each of the fires was very
small. The first call came at S.35
o'clock in the morning for a Chin
ney fire at the home of H. T. Muzzy.
Is College avenue. The chemical
truck responded and two chemicals
we're used. While the chemical was
still at the chimney fire. an alarm
was sounded from box 313. In spite
of bad travelling conditions, the fire
apparatus made a hurried call TO 81
High street. Sparks had set fire to the
roof of house owned by Jules Le-
vine. One chemical was all that was
necessary to extinguish the blaze.
The last alarm was sounded from
Box All at mid afternoon. The ap-
papatus went to Oak street where
a chimney was blazing. One chemi-
cal was used. Although it was a cold
raw day, hundreds of citizens were
on the scene of the last fire, only to
be rewarded with ten minutes of
work by the firemen. 1t was very
fortunate that none of the fires got
good starts before being discovered,
as the strong wind might have caus-
ed much damage with the sparks.
