Feanton, who attended the opening session of the legislature at Hartford. James Shea, charged with intoxication and breach of peace, pleaded guiity to the charges. A number of witnesses testified in fa- vor of the accused. Shea told the court that he was posted, but he had obtained his liquor out of town.

ALUMNI TEAM WON First Defeat for High School Basket- ball Five, Wednesday, 33 to 26. A larse crowd gathered in the gym- nasium of tho high school Wednesday and witnessed a fast game of basket- ball between the high school tram and a team made up of alumni. Although the students tried hard and played a fine game the old-timers were too much for them and defeated them, 33 to 26. This is the first time that the high school boys have been defeated this season and this defeat resuited from the superiority of the older and more practiced team. In the lineup of the Alumni there were three who have starred on the basketball floor in this city for a numbe- of vears and they are at the Dres o time plaving with the Emeralds, 0.~ of the fastest teams in the state. The lineup follows: Sentenced to Jail. Hiram Williams entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of breach of peace, when he appeared in court. He was arrested early Tuesday cvening on complaint of his wife, who was in court and testified that her husband drank most of the time. He has not guppoged her for some time and he had atfsed her and the children when he had come home under the influ- ence of liquor. This was the first time that she had complained of his actions although the neighbors had complained on previous occasions. The daughter, Mrs. Laura Jenson, Testified to tho same facts as her mother and told how her father abused the members of the household most of the time. The accused told the court that he had Dbeen paving his bills latcly and that he had obtained work Christmas in a local laundry. He stated that he had broken no windows in his house while trying to gain an entrance which had been refused him. He claimed that he had had trouble with his son- in-law whom he had arrested in Boston. The court found the accused Sloan’s Liniment For Stiff Joints. Rheumatic pains and aches get into the joints and muscles, making every movement torture. Reliéve your suffer- ing with Sloan's Liniment: it quickly penetrates without rubbing. and soothes and warms your sore muscles. The congested blood is stimulated to action; a single application will drive out the pain. loan’s Liniment is clean, convenient and quickly offective, it does not stain, the skin or clog the pores.

DR. JOHN T. BLACK ADDRESSES HEALTH COMMITTEE Conpecticut Loses 408 Lives Unnec- essarily Each Year—One-Third of Putnam’s Deaths Might be Avoided. Dr. John T. Black, secretary of the state board of health, came to Putnam Wednesday tafternoon upon . invitation and addressed the health committee appointéd by the Putnam Chamber of Commerce with a view to lmproving local health conditions. Dr. Black sald that from statistics he found that conditions in Putnam were not unusually bad nor were the health nflchi‘l’ln any way negligent or Inefficient. He sald that the first thing to consider was what the city's needs are and then arouss the pub- lict so that it will be impressed with these need. He said that the death rate in Con- necticut is 15.1 per thousand while in states surrounding Connecticut the death rate is but 14.7, or that 480 more people dle every y in Connec- ticut in ptroportion to its population, than in surrounding states. These outside states spend 3.32 cents per capita for health protection while Connecticut spends but 2.24 cents, the deduction from this being thot with the expendiure of 1.08 cents per cap- ita more, this state could save 408 lives. A life bel valued at $2,500 this wo bean t by an expendi- ture of $13,000 more T annum the state would save $1,200,000, Unnecessary Deaths. Putnam’s death rate has been 153 per thousand, or & litile more than s proportion. It has had 180 deaths per year.
