REEKS’ NEW POSITION* Health Superintendent Who Resigned Becomes Epidemologist for State Board—Will Assume Office Oct. 1, Dr. T. Eben Reeks, who recently re- signed as superintendent of the board of health announced last evening that he had been appointed wepidemologist for the state board of health. In serving in this capacity the scope of his work will be materially broadened. His duty will be to suppress and deal with epidemics as they develop through the state. He stated that he was very much interested in the work and had spent yesterday with the state board issuing orders to be carried out. As superintendent of the local board of health Dr. Reeks proved to be a capable man and a success. His pres- tige in local medical circles was shown yesterday when one of the commis- sioners asked him to reconsider his resignation. He expects to enter upon his new duties about the first of October. In entering his new fleld Dr. Reeks has the best wishes far suc- cess of the medical fraternity. ADDED TO FOOD BOARD. Hartford, Sept. 12.—President C. L. Beach of the Connecticut Agricultural college and Dr. Edward H. Jenkins of New Haven, director of the Connect- icut Agricultural experiment station have been added to the committee of food supply and conservation of the Connecticut state council of defense. .'Tfie Greatest| Medical Authorities in the World ‘have made public statements in which they endorse the value | i ! | | | contained in Father John’s Medicine.

HIGH Members of Board Believe $4,000 Salary Will Be Required That rintendent to fiil the va- cancy by the resignation of Dr. T. Eben Reeks which goes into effect October 1 must be appointed at once was the concensus at a meet- ing of the board of health which was held yesterday afternoen. At the suggestion of M. H. Camp a committee was appointed consisting of G. H. Bodley, F. E. Riley and M. H. Camp whose duty it will be to find a man who is capable and willing to accept the superintendeucy. In the meantime Dr. Reeks will continue in office until October 1 and if neces- sary for several weeks after that date if a competent man to fill the place cannot be found before the expiration of his term. As to wha will be selected to take the office is at present food for thought. But it is known that unless the salary which the present incum- bent derives is increased materially the search is liable to be a long drawn out one. On account of the scarcity of physicians in this city practically every ician considered competent for the is clearing considerably over $2,500 a year, the present salary, it is said. Dr. H. T. Bray stated that in the past year four doctors had died, four had been commissioned and only one new physician had established a prac- tice in the town. Dr. Bodley told how he had in view two men for the office and had inter- viewed them. Both the men he said were able practitioners and had estab- lished good reputations here and were temperamentally fit for the office. However, neither of them would be willing to serve the city for less than $4,000 a year. He thought that they were perfectly justified in asking for the aforementioned salary. In this the mayor and all present were unanimous in thinking that $4,000 per apnum was a fair salary. Mr. Camp was of the apinion that the doctor's successor should not receive over $2,500 when he accepted the office. Towards the close of the meeting Mr. Riley asked Dr. Reeks if, at the timé of his resignation, he had any- one in mind to fill the vacancy. Dr. Reeks replied that he had thought of Doctors Bodley and Bray as they were the most logical men for the office. Both these men, he stated. had had some experience with the work that was carried on in the health depart- ment during his and past administra- tions. It was decided that the other two members of the committee would have a talk with Dr. Bodley relative to thé prospects of his accepting the position. A question was raised as to whether the common council could grant an in- crease in salary at any time during the year. The question was settled by the mayor who stated that an in- dividual could ask for an increase at certain times of the vear but if that group of officials thought that the duties of an office warranted an in- crease it could be granted. At the suggestion of the mayor the matter was lald over for a week or so it is probable that the board will meet again before the common council holds its meeting on the 19th of this month. Hydrophobia Treatment. There was considerable discussion anent the money which had been ex- pended recently for -the Pasteur treatment. All cases of hydrophobia which have developed in this ecity have been sent to New York for treatment at the cost of $50 each. The authorities at Washington of- fered the treatment gratis but it was sent in cords, which, because there is no expert chemist in town, could ‘not be wused. Furthermore there are no facilities to administer treatment in this manner. In the past the state eventually paid the required $50 but under a new ruling the law has gone out of effect. The city at present has to stand the brunt of the expenses. Dr. Reeks stated that at present there were two cases which should be treated immediately. “Well the city can stand the $50 ex- pense ,treat the men first and let's talk expense later,” commented the mayor. A bill from James Parker of Stan- ley Quarter for $50,32 was presented for approval. Some time ago he and family were quarantined and the bill s for groceries, milk, etc., which as bought during his confinement. It met with general aporoval aad it was voted to pay it. Olaf Larson also presented a bill on a somewhat similar plea. It was for $30. Because Mr. Larson; who owns a milk route ,had suffered greatly from a pecuniary standpoint by los- ing his customers and the profits de- rived from the sale of milk during his illness it was voted to grant him a similar sum. The milk ordinance which was sent to the common council some time ago has not been changed. It relates to the keeping in bottles all milk which is used by restaurants and soda dis- pensari Before it can be passed the phr: ology will have to be changed. Reports showed that the bills for the month were $1,494.66. Draft Exposes Unfit Men. On the front page of the monthly bulletin of the board of health some good advice to civilians which reads as follows: “The examination of those called in the selective draft shows an ap- palling number of men physically de- ficleht for millitary service by reason of preventable and curable abnormal- ities. The number of men rejected a supe: caused and wholesome body builder, containé mo alcohol or danger- \ ,.ous drugs 7 because of having hernia, varicose veins and hemorrhoids, argues well for compulsory physical examination of all youths every year or two in order that those physically deficlent might be given the proper care in order to conserve the man power for the state. “The want of proper food, hygiene and environment and the failure to FALL OPENING DAYS AT GOLDENBLUM’S SEPT. 12, 13, 14, 15 A Comprehensive Showing of All the New Models in VELVET, VELOUR ai TAILORED HATS An invitation is cordially extended to the women of Hartford and vicinity to visit us on Opening Days and see the splendid exhibit of High Grade Hats in the New Styles. z GOLDENBLUM MILLINERY CO. 188 Main St,, Y.
