There have been no epidemics, ana only five cases of in- fectious diseases have been reported: Consumption 1, scarlet fever 1, measles 5. % At two different times during the vear I was called to diagnose & case of suspected smallpox. One case was chicken pos, the other an eruption due to some form of blood infection. All of the, ponds from which ice had previously been obtained, . together with their surroundings, were inspect; od_during the months 87 October and November, 1911, at which ‘time three of them were condemned, aTd the sev- aral parties who obtained their supply of ice from’these ponds were notified that the water was unfit as a source of ice. Theso ponds have not been in- apected during the past three years, but notices concerning the condemned ponds have been sent out yearly. The old slanghter house localed off tho North Windham road, just over the city line, was found to e in poor condition, and the butchering con- ducted in an unsanitary manner. 1 condemned this Dbuilding and a pew one was erected that was satisfactory. A license for the use of this buildinz 2s a place of slaughter has been issued to A. Zemchoft. . At various times my attention has been directed to conditions resulting. Study .

CITY COURT. Percy Brooke,Who Yisided to Tempta- tion to Steal Wheel, is Fined—Lad Brings Sorrow on Relatives. In the police court Thursday morn- ing Percy Brooke pleaded guilty to the larceny of a bicycle from Ward Rose- brooks of South street on Sept. 14 and received a fine and costs of $14.20. The accused went to Rosebrook’s house to see about buying some wood and saw the bicycle standing there. As no one was around, he took the ‘w’heel_ and later sold it in Amston for 2. < Brooke told the court that his fam- ily lived in Chestnut Hill, but that he had two brothers in this city. One brother was in court and told Judge Shea that his parents had done their best to bring the boy up right and keep him from evil ways. It is un- derstood that another charge of the same nature is hanging over Brooke. Normal Cjasses Organi The following officers were elected by the senior and junior classes at the When You Want to Laugh-Eat! And If You Want to - Eat Without Food Fears Take a Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet After Each Meal. Laughter, smiles and mirth never £0 with a “caved-in” stomach. Fancy 2 man-afraid - of-his - food laughing! There is always that haunting feeling that a sick stomach is nothing to be mirthful about. “My old grouchy days ars funny to me now.” o Just make up vour mind to help ature help herself. Give vour body ‘a chance to make good. Heal the raw edges of vour stomach and give your blood thegtools to make digestive fluids with. There is only one way to make the body well—give it the chance to make itself well. Harmful and strong medicines handicap the system. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets go into the stomach just like food. They are dis- solved and there they strengthen the weakened juices of the digestive ap- | paratus until the digestion is made normal. There {8 nothing mysterious or cal about themr. Sclence has ! proved that certain ingredients make up the digestive juices. Stuart’s Dyspepsia. Tablets are these concen- trated ingredients—that is all there is to it. One grain of a certatn in- gredient contained in Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food. This illustrates how you aid nature to restore her worn-out ma- terials. When a stomach which is filled with food receives a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet it 1s more ablo to digest the food than it would be with- out it. The werk is not so hard nor the task so long. When the meal is finally assim- ilated the entire system absorbs more nourishment and harmful food effects are climinated easily, quickly and with the maximum of benefit Every drug store carries Stuart's Dyspepela Tablets. To anyone wish- Ing a free trial of these tablets please address F. A.

Both the Windham Silk company and the Holland Silk company are running full time, but business is said to be quiet and in other parts of the state the silk business is rather slack. The general cause is the war in Fu- rope, which has caused a stringency in the money market. FUNERALS.

Of the 15 towns in the county, only four are in the license column—Xillingly, Put- pam, Windham, Sterling. The other 10 towns—Brookivn, Pomfret, Wood- stock, Thompson, Eastford, Ashford, Chapiin, Hampton, Scotland, Canter- bury—have not voted on the question in years. all having such strong no- license majorities as to preclude all likelihood of a change in policy. They are chiefly agricultural towns. Plain- field is one of the towns that swings back and forth, usually remaining no- license. Scarcity of Rents. More houses are needed in Daniel- son to meet its steadily increasing population. There is again a scarcity of desirable rents, as has been fre. quently the case during the past two years. ~There are a few vacant rents at a low price, but no homes for those Who desire residences with complete appointments. It is expected that this conditlon_will bring about another building boom in the spring. QUARTER'S SUDDEN DEATHS. Twenty-four Reported by Coroner Ar- thur G, Bill for Windham County.
