.A STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF MAINE
Knowing that the happiness, the welfare and the prosperity of our state depends upon the health of its people we desire to bring the following points
■ to you for thoughtful consideration:
The Maine Public Health Association and
its affiliated* local societies and committees
throughout the state is—day after day,
v month in and monty out—fighting a suc
cessful fight, for the safeguarding of the
health and happiness of you and your neigh
bors and friends through every means at
its command.
Public Health Nurses, employed by those
agencies, are ministering daily to -the sick
of our communities, aiding tired mothers in
the care of under-nourished children, estab
lishing conferences of young mothers for
assistance in the proper care and feeding
of infants, giving health talks to groups of
men, women and children. In shor£ carry
ing the message of the importance of health
into the homes of Maine.
More than 25,000 Maine boys and girls
are organized in a society called the Modern
Health Crusade—members of which practice
eleven health-promoting chores daily. With
the constant co-operation of the State De
partment of Education it is planned to in
terest and enroll every boy and girl in the
Maine public schools. Consider what vigor
ous and healthy young men and women
constitute the next generation if this work
continues—and it must!
The prevention of Tuberculosis, Cancer,
Blindness and other causes of human dis
tress is being taught throughout the state
by means of moving pictures, illustrated lec
tures, exhibits and literature.
Maine physicians annually are brought
together in a study conference for consulta
tion with specialists of international repu
tation in various phases of health work in
cluding the latest methods of diagnosis and
treatment of preventable disease. The phy
sicians.cff Maine are alert to the health needs
of our state and appreciate this opportunity
for study near at home.
We believe in this work. We know of its
great value to 'Maine. The activities of the
Maine Public Health Association and its
affiliated branches are of great value to the
constituted health authorities of our state
and are heartily endorsed by the Maine State
Department of Health. The Maine State
Grange, the Maine State Federation of
Labor, the Associated Industries of Maine,
the Maine Federation of Women’s Clubs
and many other representative organizations
have given their endorsement to this work
and have signified their willingness to assist
to the utmost.
Let us all remember at this season of the year that this work is made possible through the annual sale of Christmas Seals at a penny apiece. These
Seals have been sold for thirteen consecutive years and the proceeds used for Health Work. They need no introduction to millions of Americans. Be lib
eral in your purchase of these little messengers of health and happiness. We are convinced that the funds thus provided will be expended wisely and
economically in Maine for the health of the people of Maine.
Your local committee will appreciate your offer of service in furthering the success of the seal sale in your vicinity.
(Signed)'.

—Goods acquired by the government

been dissipated to a very great extent
• and probably constitute a considera

the local street markets.
The Bolshevists confiscated the
stocks of merchants and the contents
of offices and residences and stored
them in government houses which
have been named "loot houses" by
the non-Communlst public.
These stocks were drawn on very
heavily by the army and for other
government purposes. But they also
proved a gold mine for dishonest of
ficials, and the dearth of all sorts of
small articles In these houses indi
cates that pilfering has been pretty
general.
Concert pianos, gigantic divans,
Immense bedroom suites and ward
robes abound, but flat silver, table
linen, small rugs and other household
articles which guards could carry are
lacking. When the American Relief
Administration opened up the houses
where its personnel Jives the govern
ment was to supply all furnishings
under the food agreement.
It was with greatest difficulty that
enough dishes were found in the "loot
houses” for the usa of the Americans
and although assurances were given
that the government stores would
yield plenty of table silver, the relief
workers were obliged to use tinned
iron spoons. Repeated searches were
made in warehouses whore silver was
listed, but it was always missing.
' Many old-time Russians who are
employed by. the American Relief Ad
ministration have recognized pieces
of their own furniture in the lot snp-„
plied to the American Relief Admin
istration houses by the government.
Many of the better pictures from
private houses have been put Into
galleries in Moscow and Pctrograd.
Old furniture and tapestries have
also been saved for museums in
many cases, but the great mass of
confiscated furniture anil carpets has
gone into government offices of resi
dences of government officials.
The property of foreigners wa*
treated the nnme ns that of Russians.
