Already Proving Efficacious and Eco- nomical—Plan for Visiting Nurse. Two recent innovations in the line of charitable work in this clty will be watched with interest by the resi- dents of Willimantic during the next few months. One, the United Chari- tles assoclation, has already been or- ganized, the directors elected, per- manent secretary selected, and a large number of organizations have Jjoined. In addition, many individuals have joined as sustaining members, paying o dollar a year or more toward the expenses_of the assclation. Miss Nancy Austin, the secretary, a woman of experience and tact, is daily at the rooms used by the assoclation, on Valley street, in the old armory building and is already doing efficient work, according to the directors. One of them stated Saturday that the sav- ing in needless expenditure and the duplication of effort had already amounted to considerable, In his opin- ion, if conditions had remained as bad as they were in the early winter, even then, under the system now in use, not over 60 per cent. of the goods and money spent and distributed at that time would be used now. ‘Where in many cases the city or some soclety or individual was giving away eight and nine loaves of bread to a family at a time, now flour is given, and bread baked by the —-—an of the family. One case was reported where the wife of a man working in the mill was ill. There was a baby in the family, and it seemed as if the man would have to give up his work for a time, to take care of his wife and child. Miss Austin found a place for the child, where it could receive good care temporarily, and herself carried it from its home to the oppo- site end of the city. In this way, the man stayed at work, and they are being helped over a hard period with no loss of self-respect, and without becoming much of a burden on the town. Another scheme which ought to prove benefit is the visiting nurse idea, put forward by the St. Joseph's hos- pital auxiliary, which will go into ef- fect about May 1st. The duty of the nurse will be to visit all sick persons who may need her attention, and who can be tended at home as well as or better than at the hospital, and to in- struct her patients and others where necessary in the proper rules of san- itation and health, thus preventing disease as well as alding in its cure. The nurse i to receive no compensa- tion personally from her patients, but as their circumstances may allow, small payments may be made by those whom she visits, the money to go to the fund of the auxillary for further work in this line. By an agreement between the two bodies, it is extremely likely that the visiting nurse may be called in by the United Charities when needed, and in this way true cooperation obtained. NORWICH RUNABOUT STRUCK. Mansfield Car Runs Into That of Charles W, Dow, A runabout driven by Charles W. Dow of Norwich and a Ford run by a Mr. Collins of Mansfield were in col- lision Saturday morning at the cor- ner of Main and Walnut streets in this city. Mr, Dow was driving west on the right hand side of Main street, when the Ford car came out onto Main street from Walnut, and col- lided with his car. Mr. Collins was turning to the left to go east on Main street.

Conm. ed by the aldermen state that in such cases the drivers shall give the ene on the right hand the right of way.
