TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUMS HAVE 499 PATIENTS. Connecticut Institutions Are With 66 of Aggregate Bed Capacity. ca At the meeting of the tuberculosis commission in the capitol at Hartford Monday arrangements were made for advertising for bids for canned and bottled articles of food for the dnsti- tutions in its charge. It is expected that the participation of Italy in the European war will have the effect of increasing the price of olive oil mate- rially. At the present time there are 499 patients in the state institutions. This number is within 68 of their aggregate bed capacity. There are no vactnt beds in the infirmaries. The commission is not able at present to take another in- firmary patient. The infirmaries are for the exclusive use of advanced cases and the patients given treatment are in bed. The failure of the general as- sembly for increasing the infirmory ac- commodation in the tuberculosis insti- tutions will prevent the commission from taking care of more patients than ;helr present accommodations will al- ow.

On Monday in Boston the newly or- ganized Hopkins & Allen company of ‘Massachusetts took over a controlling interest in the stock of the Hopkins & Allen comgnny of this city, which within a very short time the plant here will be a very busy place, running day and night,with large additions, The new company, as has already been stated, has a contract at a very attractive price from the British gov- ernment for 400,000 army rifies and has further contracts which will give them work for two years. Those at the head of affairs will at once start on planning and laying out the work, and within a short time the work of installing new machinery here will begin. This is already being made by the companies with which the Mas- sachusetits men ai the head of the en- terprise are affiliated, including the Union Twist Drill company of Athol, the L. C. Starrett company of Spring- fleld and the Bausch Machine Tool company. These concerns are thor- oughly familiar with the work of get- ting out the tools for gun making. As the work develops, the present factory of the Hopkins & Allen com- pany will be too small and it is ex- EECted that other buildings here will e used. Just what these may be, is not stated yet. In the new corporation Mr. Watts will remain as treasurer, so that the Anterests of the loca] stockholders, both old and new, will be safeguarded, while the business reputations of the men at the head of the new concern CHILD CONTRACTED SCARLET FEVER IN NEW YORK. Mrs. Tafel Arrived Hefe Sunday After- noon With Her Daughter. A case of scarlet fever in the four year old daughter of Joseph Tafel of No. 69 Mechanic street was discovered hero on Sunday and was reported to Dr. N. B. Lewis, the health officer, Mrs. Tafel came on here from New York on Sunday afternoon, arriviog on the 2.10 train. She had been visiting in New York, having the child with her, and the little girl had caught the disease in New York. The health officer put the house un- der quarentine and also had the car in which Mrs. Tafel had come from New London on the New Haven road disinfected. In consequence of the New London railroad authorities receiving a report that it was a case of smallpox, several coaches of the train were fumigated in New London Monday by the health department. BANKRUPTCY HEARING. Before Referee Shields in Case of Max Rabinovitch. The continued hearing in the bank- ruptcy case of Max Rabinovitch be- fore Referee in Bankruptcy Thomas H. Shields, was held from 10 to Monday, when additional witnesses were examined. Miss Sadie Rabinovitch testified re- garding the $250 given her by Mr. Rabinovitch, her father. She received the money in February and since that time has disposed of all of it by tending the “movies” and the “big shows” that came to town and by buy- ing articles that she wanted. It was reported that she told the court she could spfnd $500 2 day if she had i Mrs. Max Rabinovitch told of receiv. ing $600 about 11 years ago and of placing $350 in the Dime Savings bank and carrying the remainder in her pocket. The money was later used in paying for the property the family now occupies. The deed was made out in Mr. Rabinovitch’s name and remained so until just before the fail- ure, when it was made out in her name at her solicitation. Nathan Rabinovitch said he loaned his father $500 Dec. 1, 1914, but knew nothing of his father’s financial dif- ficulties. He said he is 24 years of age and has been in business for 10 years. About a year ago he purchased a wagon. His father paid for it and he in turn paid his father. He could not explain how it was that the name Max Rabinovitch appeared on the wagon. About a month before the failure the name was erased from the wagon. Nathan said he had never been in business with his father. He was the concluding witness. The ex- amination was made by Trustee V. P. A, Quinn for the benefit of the cre itors. It was instigated to ascertain what became of the insurance money recelved on the burned stock just after he had entered his petition in bank- ruptey. AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. Those who attended the matinee and evening performances at the Auditori- um Monday saw one of the best musi- cal comedy shows that has ever ap- peared at this theatre, according to public opinion, and the applause which greeted every number in this clean, classy little entertainment was well merited. The big honors went to Jim Burton, an exceptionally clever come- dian, who did a truly wonderful im- personation of the famous photoplay comedian, Charlie Chaplin. His make- up was most complete and his manner- sims perfect. He was capably assisted by Jim Howells, a light comedian with a good tenor voice, and Stella Ford, a comely miss who was heard in several song numbers and who wore fine cos- tumes. There was a chorus of nine bright, lively girls who sang and danced well, and on the whole the bill was considered one of the best of the season. On the feature programme King Baggott in The Five Pound Box was deserving of special mention. BODY RECOVERED. Oscar F. Erikson Found About Where He Was Drowned. The body of Oscar F. Erikson of No. 18 Whitaker avenue, who was drown- ed Sunday evening in the Thames river at the dock northerly from the Thermos dock, was recovered Mon- day morning about 6 o'clock by Po- liceman Frank 8. Henderson and Wil- liam W, McNaught. They dragged the river a large part of the night and be- gan again at daylight, Just before the body was discovered the searchers decided to move a float near shore and found the body under it.

Assured by Completion of Hopkins and Allen Deal—Soon to be Running Night and Day—Big Growth of Local Industry Promised—Contracts That Provide Work for speak for its successful and promising tuture. The ultimate intention of the new company is to liquidate the old com- pany, exchanging their preferred stock on advantageous terms for any stock of the old company still outstanding. The new cz_ga.niuuon includes not only some of Bostons’ leading bankers and financiers, but a large eggregation of the best mechanical talent in New England. The same interests control industries which have grown very fast and brought large returns to their stockholders, and it is the expectation that the new enterprise will be a splen- did thing for Norwich and that its se- curities will no doubt yield to the in- vestors a very large return on their money. The entire desired amount of 9,000 shares of preferred stock in the new company has been subscribed for, as the balance after the preferred stock had been offered in Boston, Norwich and New Haven has been underwritten in Boston. John_A. McGregor, president of the Union Twist Drill company, and direc- tor of the L. S. Starrett company, is president of the new organization, George S. Watts is treasurer and di- rector, and other directors are J. A. Eden, Jr., vice president of Baush Ma- chine Tool company, J, H. Drury, treasurer and director of Union Twist Drill company, and Augustus P, Lor- ing, president of the Baush Machine Tool company. The new organization is capitalized at $4,000,000, with $1,250,000 preferred stoek and $2,750,000 common stock. _—mmmm—m— HELD UNDER BONDS FOR SUPERIOR COURT William Hamilton and Michael Golumb Were Before City Court.

James Denison of Hartford in the superior court there last week asked to be divorced from Sarah A. Denison, whose home before marriage was Es- sex, and who is now supposed to be in Boston. They were married in West- erly, R. I, Jan. 15, 1908. The woman /was charged with deserting him Dec. 19, 1908. The desertion alleged was in Hartford. Denison said he got home one day and found that his wife had moved much of the furniture from the house. Before his wife left him, how- ever, he had spoken to her about go- ing out and around wit hother men. He said they lived happily until a young woman came to live in the home and after that his wife and the young ‘woman went around together consider- ably, and he got no satisfactionn when he spoke to his wife about her conduct. The judge continued the case to Friday of this week, that there can be addi- tional proof that Mrs. Denison had knowledge of the suit. Cracker Tins Spilled Out.

C, who was unable to come here Monday evening to give a canning demonstration in the town hall un- der the auspices of the New London County Improvement league yet the good sized audienee were pleased with the demonstration given by Miss M. E, Sprague and C, A. Brundage, both of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege, wlhose services were secured to take the place of Miss Snyder. Miss Sprague and Mr. Brundage worked under difficulties as the great- er part of their demonstrating appar- ratus did@ not arrive and so they did the best they could do under the cir- cumstances. Their explanations of the various methods used in cannin were made very clear, however, an the demonstration as a whole proved interesting as well as valuable. The meeting was called to order at about 8.15 o’clock by E. C. Jewett of the Improvement league, Mr. Jewett said that very few farmers, bankers or business men realized fully the economic changes now going on. The fiscal year just closing will re- veal astonishing facts regarding con- ditions in this country he said, Im- ports will show a decline of 22 per cent. while the exports will show a four fold increase. It behooves us, one and all, to work along economic lines. In closing he spoke of the demonstrations being carried on by the government in an effort to induce people to join in the economic move- ment. He then introduced Miss Sprague. Miss Sprague toid of the enormous waste of fruits and vegetables in this country and spoke of the conservation methods carried on in Europe. The movement is nct only a matter of economy she said, but is also a matter of good health. We cannot keep our health without fruits and vegetables. During th sulnmer these products are plentiful, but during the winter we have only those products that can be stored in the cellar. These varities do not carry all the nutritives we need. ‘We get these nutritives from fruits and succulent vegetables. It is not a difficult matter to can, said Miss Sprague, for canning may be carried on a little at a time. It is a matter of convenience to ‘have canned fruits and vegetables on hand, especially when unexpected guests ar- rive for dinner. As for the young people it gives them a chance to make money. It is quite possible for a boy or girl to have a small piece of ground to raise tomatoes, for in- stance and to can them and dispose of their canned goods at a profit. Miss Sprague told of an 11 year old girl who canned at a cost of 5 cents a can and disposed of her goods at a selling price of 15 cents a can. Miss Sprague then went on to tell of the methods used in canning differ- ent foods. The first step in canning is to sterilize the product and can theroughly and the second step is to seal the can tightly so that no_ bac- teria can get into-the product. Vege- tables are blanched by dipping them in scalding water. The blanching re- moves objectional acids and in the case of greens, reduces bulk. Blanch- ing loosens the skins of tomatoes, pears, apples, eac., so that the skins may be easily removed, In cooking vesetables for canning it is well never to put them into boil- ing water, but to steam them. It cooked in boiling water the vegetable loses much of its nutritive value which is thrown away with the water. It is better to drink the water and throw away the vegetables cooked by this process. After blanching, the product should be plunged into cold water. The blanching serves to bring the color near the surface and the cold water serves to retain the color. The next move is to pack the pro- duct into jars. Here Miss Sprague showed how strawberries are packed into jars. (The stems in the case of pears and other fruits being turned away from the sides so as to improve the appearance of the fruit.) The fruit should be packed in solid, but not solid enough to crush, and the syrup then poured in. ~ After the Jjars are filled the rubbers should be put on and the covers partly sealed. Then the jars are placed in the boil- er and allowed to remain there the necessary time. After removing the jars from the boiler the sealing is completed. The tops should never be remover as this allows bacteria to enter and the product will not keep. The yars after being fully sealed are then turned bottom upwards. This for two reasons: First, to discover if there are any leaks; and second to al- low the syrup to become evenly dis- tributed. After labeling, the jars should be put in a cool place where they should be kept until needed for use. Miss Sprague gave her audience sev- eral pointers regarding the purchase of jars and rubber rings. Mr. Brundage demonstrated the method of canning greens and then showed how tin cans are sealed. During the evening pamphlets is- sued by the United States Department of Agriculture were distributed. Regarding the use of tin cans one of the pamphlets says: The use of tin cans in the canning of surplus fruits and vegetables In entirely practical for the average farmer, trucker, and fruit grower. The question of soldering and tipping the caps is a comparatively simple matter. A child, 12 years of age or over, can readily learn to successfully seal a tin can. It requires a hand capping iron and tipping copper, a little soldering fiux, a small brush, sal ammoniac, and a little practice. The use of tin cans for the canning of surplus fruits and vegetables is important because of the ease with which these packs are handled in transportation and storage. ‘When tin cans are used for the canning of green vegetables, meats, fish, oysters, etc, it is highly desira- able to use tke lacquered or enameled carns. This is not absolutely neces- sary if the proper precautions are taken w:th reference to sterilizing of cans, blanching, and cold dipping of products before packing into the cans and before the final sterilization.
