STATE HEALTH STATISTICS.

Secretary Lindsey of the State board of
health, has issued his monthly report for Au-
gust. 1t shows ], 4S3 deaths In 1874 towns.
having an estimated population of 725, 1925
(three towns not reporting), and an annual
death rate of 1913 per thousand. The. towns
and North Stonington. Towns reporting no
deaths in August were: Andover, Avon,
Bethlehem, East CRANKY, Goshen, Hartland,
Middlebury, Norfolk, North BraRford, Old
Lyme. Salem, Sherman. Sterling,
Sterling and Union. Forty-6ve per cent. Of
chief causes of death were: Diarrhoea (under
D., 1926; same, over S, III; consumption 115,
diseases of the nervous system 1875, heart dis
ease SO. accidental violence 80, pneumonia
35, malarial fever %, typhoid fever 80, diph-
iberia and Group "a.
State during August was not as good as in
July. Not since July in 1887 has the death
rate been SO high. From all our correspond
ents, as well as from the mortality reports OF
the registrars, the testimony is that the in
crease of mortality is due to the great preva-
lence of diarrhoeal diseases. Diarrhcsal dis.
eases are in great degree filth diseases
Their prevalence indicates beyond question
the influence of unsanitary conditions about
the homes of the people, which call for
reform. When more than 81 per cent
of all the mortality in the State results from
diarrhoea1 diseases, 1t is proof positive that
the homes of the people are unsanitary. The
oft repeated statement Of our small towns
that we have no need for board of health, ,
there is nothing for board Of health to do,
is large mistake. If before another sum-
mer every town board of health in Conneoti-
cut will enact and enforce the sanitary rsgu-
lations recently published by the State board
concerning privy vaults, cesspools, drains and
garbage, the fact will never occur again to
the commonwealth that 81 per cent. of the
whole mortality will he caused by disrrhnal
diseases, SO long as such laws are obeyed.
Smallpox has occurred In Colchester and Nor
walk during the month. Both cases are re-
covering. The timely and well directed action
of the local health boards has prevented az
tension of the diaeasa.n

All Saints Memorial Church at New

All Saints Memorial Church at New
Milford.
Recently certain newspapers incorrectly
stated that this church was erected in MEM
DRY of Judge Nathaniel Sanford. No such
person is known. The church, which is of
stone, finished In hard woods and costing
$50, 900, is model of architectural beauty
and was built by his widow, Mrs. Emily B.
Sanford, in memory of the late David @.
Sanford of New Milford, who was for ten
years next before his decesse judge of the
Supreme court of this State and long emf.
nent at the bar. OF him it is on record in
the thirty second volume of the Connecticut
Reports: GAS judge he was kind, courte-
GUS, patient and dignifed in his manner;
prompt, impartial and accurate in his ruiz
ings, and he commanded in an eminent de-
gree the respect and confidence of the profess
sion. No member of the court in later years
was listened to in consultation with more re-
spect or with stronger expectation that his
views OF the pending case, when matured,
would be comprehensive and his conclusions
correct. His opinions are on record in the
nine preceding volumes of the reports, and
will compare favorably with those of the
most distinguished members of the court.
They are remarkable for their studied ex-
actness of language and clearness of express
sion.
While possessed of q minute and thorough
knowledge Of technical law he was never yet
disposed to sacrifice justice to mere technical
tiles, where the obsticle was not insuperable,
and no judge ever had higher or more posi-
tive sense Of justice than he. He was a man
of the highest integrity, scrupulously honest
and honorable in his professional practice,
while at the bar; and on the bench absolute
ly beyond the approach of any selfish or inn
pure motive. The virtuous integrity with
which he administered his high office could
not be surpassed. Not even suspicion ever
assailed it."
