RICKETS ARE PREVENTABLE

Contributed by Alice T. Bassett r.
N, Hancock county public health
nurse.)
DR.. Martha M. Eliot, director Of
child hygiene department Of the
Children's Bureau, Washington, D..
C., says: 1.-THE need for the proven
ton OF ricketts, can hardly be over
emphasized. That ricketts, is q
chronic disease starting in the earli-
est months of infancy in about 30
per cent. of all babies, and continu-
ing in many through one, two and
occasionally three years of life. 1t
not only deforms the bony structure
of the body, but is responsible for
much of the undernourished condi-
ton and respiratory tract disorders
of later infancy. 1t is also RESPONSE
BILE for many of the commissions OF
the first year of life.
Sunlight and cod-liver oil are the
only known cures or preventative OF
this child wasting disease. The use
of these two remedies are bringing
results hardly dreamed Of. Babies
two weeks old can take one-half
teaspoonful of pure cod-liver OIL
twice a day, at two months, they can
take one teaspoon twice day, and
after three months they can take
one and one-half teaspoonsful twice
a day. Almost all babies can take
cod-liver oil; seldom it cause con-
stipation, but practically never di-
arrhea follows its use. 1t may be
taken summer and winter, but Is not
so necessary when the baby can have
its sun baths daily.
''To give the cod-liver oil, get the
required amount in spoon and
then, by pressing cheeks together
with thumb and finger, hold mouth
open and give oil, little by little,
and hold mouth open until oil is
swallowed.
elm giving the sun bath, choose
the spot sheltered from the wind or
an open window, remembering that
the sun loses it's rays necessary to
grow strong babies when filtered
through clothes or glass. Expose
at first only hands and face, then
feet, then arms, etc., until whole
body is exposed. The first outing
should be of only few minutes,
and after few weeks, baby should
be exposed for an hour twice a day.
Be careful not to burn the baby, but
these sun baths should result in tan
ming the baby to deep brown all
over Morning sun is BEST, but

BUSINESS MEETING.

The president announced Thurs
day, Oct. "A, as the date for the
next monthly meeting and banquet,
and appointed Walter J. Clark, jr,
Walter Joy and e. F. Robinson as
committee of arrangements.
1t was announced informally that
the date for the fishway hearing
would probably be about the middle
of October.
The matter of continuing concrete
road construction work on the Bar
Harbor road now, so that there
would be less interruption to traffic
next summer, was discussed, and it
was voted to take it up with the Bar
Harbor board of trade and other
boards on Mt. Desert island, to see
If the State would not take such
action.
Representative Foster promised
his cooperation in the effort to have
the work continued now, but ex-
pressed doubt that it could be done
because of financial and other mat
tiers to be considered. He suggested,
as relief for traffic another sum-
mer, to make an effort to have ex-
tensive repairs made on the Bay
side and Goose Cove roads as a de-
tour. Part of this route is only
suitable for one-way traffic now. DR..
Hodgkins, o. w. Tapley and others
spoke briefly on the subject.
A vote of thanks was given to the
ladies of the Baptist society for the
excellent supper, and to the Han
cock County Cooperative Creamery,
which donated the ice-cream

general invitation to the boys and

RESIDENTS OF PERRY POINT
DISFRANCHISED
Court OF Appeals Hands Down
Decision That Has This
Effect

The Maryland Court of Appeals
has handed down a decision that
virtually disfranchises residents OF
the Government reservation at Perry
Point, Cecil county, and in several
other places in the State of
Maryland.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Edward K. Lowe VS.. Mar
garet Lowe. The Loves were resi-
dents of Perry Point, the Govern
ment reservation adjoining Perry
vile, this county. Edward K. Lowe,
docketed suit in the Circuit Court
at Elkton, for divorce from his
wife, Margaret Lowe. The defend
ant filed a cross bill.
Judge Levin w. Wickes about a
year ago, dismissed the bills on the
ground of lack of Jurisdiction, alleg-
ing that Perry Point was a Gov
ernment reservation, and therefore
under Federal jurisdiction. T h e
plaintiff took an appeal last October,
through his counsel, States At
torney Joshua Clayton. The opinion
handed down by Maryland highest
judicial tribunal, not only upholds
the position taken by the Circuit
Court at Elkton, but takes away the
right of residents of Perry Point to
vote at elections in Cecil county,
also to obtain resident gunners'
licenses. Heretofore, the residents
of Perry Point, have been permitted
to register and vote in the Perryville
precinct-in fact two years ago,
resident of Perry Point, was nomi-
mated for an Office in this county.
The Board of Election Supervisors
will be compelled, under the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals, to
order the names of all persons who
reside on the Government reserva-
ton to be stricken from the poll
books. Voters residing on Govern
ment reservations in other parts OF
Maryland, will likewise lose their
franchise under this decision. An
opinion to the same affect was
handed down last year by Attorney
General Thomas w. Robinson.
