terrnined to carry off the honors. The

WINSTED is HAPPY.
Winsted, March S.--Chief of Police
Wheeler Of this place prides himself
with having rid the town of long suf-
fered nuisance. An examination of the
lookup statistics for the month just past
show that there were but sixteen
tramps lodged there, against 365 dodgers
for the same month of twenty-eight
days in 1895. The change Is said to be
due to the rigid enforcement of the
tramp law by the chief.
DRUGGISTS AND THE LAWS.
Naugatuck, March 8.-Medical Exam
liner Johnson of this place has been
making an examination during the past
few days as to how the druggists have
been complying with the law which re-
quires keeping up registration book
of Ill poisons sold. He has discovered,
after a careful examination, that some
of the druggists have not required the
person buying the poisons to have a
prescription from doctor and also that
the druggists have been negligent in
making proper entry according to the
law He finds that they have also neg.
1ected to label everything else of poi
sonous nature. The druggists, on tha
other hand, do not see why they should
have to label everything in the line Of
poisons, such as Rough on Rats and
Paris green, while the grocers sell them
unrestricted. DR.. johnson said to-day
that the poisoning of a Waterbury dog
led to the investiga ton, as it was dis
covered that the poison was purchased
here. He has notified Coroner Mix of
New Haven of the way the books are
kept by the druggists. 1t is probable
that he will turn the matter over to
County Health officer Carleton e.
Hoadley, as it comes under his jurisdic-
ton.

of the Southern Connecticut League of
