Rogers died suddenly at his home, 548 Williams street, New London, Friday morning. Heart and arterial troubles caused his death. About 3 o'clock Friday morning Mrs. ogers awoke to find her husband gasping for breath and he died before could be relieved by medical as- sistance. Dr. Rogers who was about 5 Id, was born in North Waterford, where hsi parents sti_relside. As : hoy he worked in his father's grocer: store in New London. He was edu- cated in New London after which he entered Bellevhue in New York to study medicine. After his graduation eh went to New London but returned years to New York after a short time. He soon gained a reputation as a pathologist. For 12 years he was head pathologist at Bellevue and al- lied hospitals. During this time he worked untiringly and it was the strain from overwork while in New, York that brought about the heart condition which caused his death. He resigned his position in New York about 12 years ago on account of ill health and returned to New London, where he has been a practic- ing physician. Dr. Rogers had a bril- liant mind and he was a broad student outside of his profession, especially alonz the sefences. Dr. Rogers was a member of the medical staff of Memorial hospital, of which he was the pathologist. He was a member of the New London and County Medical associations, in which he took an active interest. Although of a quiet and retiring disposition, Dr. Rogers' was held in high esteem by the medical fraternity and by those with whom he came in contact. Fined For Reckless Driving. E. J.

New services were laid to every house, and percolating _Jjoints were put on to all services crossing The department is now going to en- larze the 6 inch main on Willow and Chestnut streets ' from Broadway to Franklin and from Broadway to Bath and_through Chestnut to Willow.

Lack of Fruit and Vegetables the Only Drawback. The efficiency of the community can- nery at the Broadway school is still continuing. The only thing which acts as a drawback is the lack of fruit and vegetables to can. - The Community Canning club have reached a total of 1,019 jars of vege- tables and fruits put up in the 18 working days sincethey opened. Ie- zinning with peas, they have 'added string beans. canned and pickled beets, squash, Swise chard, beet greens, huckleberries, currant ' Jjeily, conserve and chicken. An ideal com- munity spirit has developed which has made this achievement possible. Not only are people helping each other through the club werk. but its influ- ence is spreading to giving assistance in home canning. The officers of the ciub are always on the lookout for any surplus food which would - waste if not conserved They awaited the arrival of the farm- ers downtown at £.30 a. m. this week, but no surplus was to be found. Hence thanks are due to the general public Zfor their cheerful - co-operation and encouraging orders for work. which lave enabled the club to gake this high record and to feel that it is ac- complishing the purpose for which it was organized. g These thousand jars are that much £00d food saved for next winter and that much help toward keeping the wolf from the door of the world. Ail | those who have helped in this work in spite of the high prices are co- operating with those who are willingly Fiving their services to the same end. and both are showing the true spirit of 7@ herhood The assistance of such competent upervisors as Miss Rogers and Miss Harland has been of great value. Only one jar of flat sour has been reported among all the work done. This was a _jar of peas, which developed a week after canning and was due to a bad can rubber. Their advice Is also sought by many who have dome can- ning at home and lost the products and who want to know why they have lost them One housekesper who lost many jars of peas that she canned at home i< now having work done at the club corn it may he of interest to know- that the average is 12 large ears of corn to one quart jar and 19 small ears to one pint jar.
