Yet this is true. A carrier Is a per- son who has germs in his throat but | does not have the disease. Although he may not become affected himself, he can spread the disease, A carrier gets the germs either from contact with a diphtheria suf- ferer or another carrier. When a carrier s discovered he s immedi- | ately isolated and treated so that the germs in his throat may be cleaned out. After a period of isolation, cul- tures are taken, If two cultures taken 24 hours apart are found to be negative, the carrier s declared cured, It sometimes happens that germs again develop in the throat, but cases of this type are unusual. Health authorities consider the carrier of far greater danger than a persop Wwith all the symptoms of diphtheria. The latter can be iden- tified and removed from contact with the public, but the former, uncon- sclous that he is a walking menace to the health of the community, may mingle with his fellowmen and cause an epidemic. People have been known to garry the germs of cerebro spinal in- gitls and typhoid without being ill. Tt is suspected that there are also scarlet fever carriers but this is not | known positivel Although winter has fixed a firm grip on this part of the country, we find the subject of mosquitoes one of the most absorbing of the day pe- cause of statistics which have been complled by the Connecticut Anti- Mosquito association, It was news to us that there have been 100 mild cases of malarla in the town of Rerlin this vear, but Dr. Stanlcy H. Osborn, state commissioner of health, is authority for this state- He also says there were 80 cases in the town of Newington in Sykes, medical director of a Hartford insurance company, estimates that the toll of human life in Connecticut, from malaria, in the past 50 years, has been 3,244, Plac- ing a value of 00 on each vic- 5 $10, ,000,. In parts of the state where alti- tudes are high the malarial deaths were comparatively few, as might be expected. The mortality in New Haven and Fairfleld counties, was highest, Hartfoxd county stands in third place. The average person takes the mos- quito as a joke whereas the pest actually affects the death rate and makes economic inroads in the state. The anti-mosquito association , de- serves support as it contributes not only to the comfort of the common- wealth but to its prosperity as well. Ve e For several vears the Observer has advocated the reduction of the il to a small group 1g to note that the being seriously consid- common cc and it is subject 18 lared by the committee revising the harter. Several leaders in the council appear to favor the pgpiect but 1t 1s doubtful if it is adopted by that body until a long discus- sion has ensued, At present the common council consists of 30 members, four coun- cilmen and one alderman from each of the six wards. The business of city would not be seriously af- cted i this number were smaller, councilmen and one alderman ward, for example, if yeates of a large council in- sisted on holding to their views. Tha benefit would he greater, in the Observer's opinion, if the sugges- ward F. Hall of the charter revision committee adopted.

It is ex- | pected that the attendance will be | fairly large because of the great | numbers interested in stalking game or whipping streams, One of the subjects which will probably ba discussed will be the issuing ‘of a combination hunting | and fishing lcense. Under the law at present, it is necessary to take| out separate licenses for each | branch of sport and there is strong | sent{ment in favor of a change. | Fish and game conservation wi'.l: also come up in the course of the meeting.

P:AULTIESS FITTING FOOTWEAR CLOTHING hoe Dept.” COR. MAIN AND WEST MAIN ¢ It appears t ‘when ‘Wi graduated from Rochester univer- slty, at Rochester, N, Y, he came to New Britain to live with his dad until he became ldentified with & future calling/ In the course of & short time h¢ became afiliated with an insurance company and wrote a good-sized life policy for a man in Now Britaln, The young man's com- mission would have amounted to more oney than he had ever handled ¥ to that time, The polley was sent to him to dellver. When he arrived at the house of the Insured he found the latter in his oellar, where he was engaged In manufacturing home brow. At the same time the gentle- man was considerably intoxicated. Young Schenck instantly decided not to deliver the policy, although such an act meant a serious finan- clal loss to him at a time when per- sonal funds were not plentiful. He felt sure that the examining physi- clan had overlooked what the com- pany might regard as an essential point in the character of the in- sured, He returned the pollcy to the company with a letter explaining why he had not delivered it and awaited %he company's instructions. The company sent a letter ot con- gratulation, stating thdt it was con- trary to the policy of the company to insure the llves of persons who drank intoxicants to excess. The company retained the policy and young Schenck lost & good commis- sion but was happy in reallzing that the concern appreciated the exerciso of good moral principle by agents, Six months later the gentleman who didn't get the insurance policy died. It is not stated whether his death Was due to the excessive use of intoxicants or was remotely con- nected with such use. The fact, however, {8 that he died. When the opportunity came to promote young Schenck to 3 lucra- tive position in New York the com- pany acted promptly. The son of the pastor today enjoys the emolu- ments of this position in the metro- polls and it s safe to say had the complete confidence of the compapy in every action performed in the line of duty. Some men profitcer and make a sucpess of it. Some men try it and taM. Others fail without even try- ing and sometimes honest men have hard Yuck. Just which classification fits an east side landlord the Ob- server does not say, but here is the story. A man owned a tenement block. It had apartments for four families and two stores. There were several window panes missing. The stair- ways, back and front, were in a conditlon bordering on dilapidation. The building brought in a ren’ not extremely high, but all it was worth, The place was sold. The new landlord * proceeded to show his rights of possession by an- nouncing & material increase in rent. Today there is one family in the building. Three apartments and two store rooms are empty, and the re. maining family is sald to be looking fpr another apartment. Some time ago the Herald printed a story showing what had become of members of New Britain's first high school football team, and their ultimate success was interesting. Another interesting incident oc- enrred recently when Fred O. Rackliffe, recently elected repre- sentathve to the general assembly, was called upon to address a meet- ing of the Parents and Teachers' association of the Monroe street school. As a dignified legislator, who had just completed a term as the youngest Rotary club president in the world, Fred spokp in the same room and faced the same formidable rows of seats he had faced on his first day in school, just 24 years previous.
