The breath of chronic catarrh patient is often so offensive that he becomes an object of disgust. After time alteration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, source of discomfort is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat, some- times producing inveterate bronchitis, which is usually the exciting cause of pull monary disease.

MUCH discussion has been caused by the reported bad sanitary condition of the Windham county jail at Brooklyn; so much as to cause the raising of a special examing committee by the last legislature, which, however, has never met; also to cause the holding of meeting at Willi- mantle this week of representatives of the state board of health, with the county commissioners and other county officers, including Health Officer King. The fact Is brought out that the jail is much over crowded, and that it lacks sanitary at tachments which of late years have grown to be regarded as more essential than at the time of it's building. Jailor Sibley, considered one of the best, if not the best, jail officials in the state, makes report that is a wonderfully good showing for the institution with all it's disadvantages
 ''During the past thirteen years, with an average population of twenty-six, there had been but three deaths, and one of these was caused by fit, a second con- mitted suicide and third died from pneu- mOnia, with which he was ill when con- mitted. In the entire thirteen years only $207 had been expended for medical at tendance, and during the entire time no case of fever, malaria or acute disease had ever developed in the building, the only cases of fever, two in number, were in the persons of men ill when committed. The jail had been a source of profit for many years and did not interfere with local la- bor."
 Undoubtedly much of the agitation ovel the jails unfitness comes from those who wish new jail building of location more to their liking, or to qualification of sell fish interest in the matter of location. The present jail is too small for the needs of the county, as we'll as antique in the matter of sanitary conveniences and safe guards. This is the worst that can be said of it.
 The spring meeting of the Connecticut Library Association is to be held at Otis library, Norwich, On Wednesday, May 30th, at 1O.3O a. m.
