An old stroller about the water front
recalled yesterday the arrival OF the
labrador some years ago, and the cap.

porter II there was anything fresh, re-

at the mouth OF a sewer. and If you don't
think so come down and SMELL"
The incident was suggested by the re-
port OF the cases OF typhoid fever attri-
buted to the carelessness OF certain ItaI-
IAN sailors who saw tit to eat mussels
soaked with the sewage of the city.
The stroller went on to say that he

little knew they were dropping their
hooks into the dumping grounds of the

been carefully scanned by the more
thoughtful and while there may be many
contributing causes apart from the In

fish toilers, nevertheless it might be we'll,
in the interest of society to put a safe
guard against such infected spots, just
as you would put red flag of danger
on the case OF small pox or other infec-
uous diseases. Further application is
not necessary, for it is obvious that fish
gathered from veritable cess pools must
be as dangerous as tainted fruit. polluted

The crowded condition Of the Deering
Center public schools, which were sup

pupils there lacking quarters.
A Deering councilman said vest erday
that an effort VIII be made next year to
secure an appropriation for a new school
