 A wholesale poisoning took place in Waterbury last Saturday. nearly score of people being made seriously ill by ptomaine poison contained in ice cream which they had eaten. Ptomaine acid is formed by the decomposition or pu- trefcation of animal matter. When it occurs in ice cream, it is usually caused by the milk or cream which, under cer- tain conditions, manufactures ptomaine quickly. The straw wberries or fruit used in favoring the ice cream, uniting with the milk or cream, may have caused decomposition and have thus been responsible for the presence of ptomaine.
 Michael F. O'Hara of Waterbury, son of MT and Mrs Peter O'Hara of Win sted. was stabbed in the face by an Ital- ian at Waterbury Sunday night.

Mark my Words said an observant
gentleman who takes an interest in mill
tary matters, the soldier of the future will
wear armor. We are about to revert to
first principles and will again illustrate the
well-known fact that fashions move in
cycles.
NO; am not joking The conditions of
modern warfare make armor eminently
practical. A small caliber. high power rifle
will carry two miles. and it is next to i'm
possible for troops to advance through the
zone of fire. if it is continuous and well di-
rected. But suppose there was some
method by which they could approach
within say half that distance of the enemy
and keep up steady fusillade without spe-
cial danger to themselves-it goes without
saying that they would win the day, and
there is exactly where armor comes in.
Several of the European governments are
now experimenting with movable shields,
which may be pushed in front of soldiers
as they advance. There is nothing par
ticularly new in that idea-it was used in
the siege of Troy. From movable shields
to protective garment is merely devel-
opment of the same thought.
MY notion of the coming armor is a.
chest plate, leg greaves and a mask made
of Krupp steel a quarter inch thick. That
would turn a rife bullet at mile range
and be sufficiently light for any strong
man to carry. 1t wouldn't be necessary to
shield the back or sides. and troops pro-
tected I suggest could push into the

charge, but bayonet charges have gone out

as to the meaning of the term rabies as
used by him. and as to what evidence he
will accept as sufficient to prove the exist

says the health officer, 1t will be possible to
act intelligently on Mr.. Evans request,

to the prevalence of rabies, or at least to

Operations Undergone During "the In
terval" Generally Successful.
ron no Nayr


From the New York Herald
The frequency of appendicitis, the coca
sional deaths which follow operations for
its relief, and the successful results In other
cases give strange interest in disease to
which every one is more or less liable
Three cases In point illustrating different
phases of the malady, were recently report
ed in the Herald. One OF these was that Of
young man who Is reported 70 have had
an attack Of the disease as the result Of a
playful boxing match. another In which
fatal pneumonia followed an operation for
appendicitis and still another in which ex-
tirpation of the organ was successfully 40
complished during the Quiescent period az
ter an acute seizure.
From what is now known of the actual
cause Of appendicitis, it is not by any
means probable that a blow on the abdo-
men was a FACTOR In the case. 1t Is more
than likely. on the other hand, that the
trouble commenced before the injury and
that the latter was a mere coincidence.
The same may be said regarding the pnel-
monia in the other instance, there being no
distinct or direct linking Of the two dis
eases.
Most of the cases that prove fatal in spite
or operation are virtually hopeless from the
start, inasmuch as rupture If the appendix
has occurred and peritonitis already exists.
In the milder forms in which a patient re-
covers from an acute invasion the spp< n
elk. although damaged and altered IN stI.uc-
ture by infammatory changes, remains in
tact until there is recurrence OF the trouzr
BILE In order TO prevent the latter il Ia
considered safer. so far as risk is concerned,
to operate during what is called an interval
of the disease, when all the symptoms are
quiescent, rather than wait until forced to
interfere when too late. As operations per-
formed under the former conditions named
are seldom fatal, 1t is no surp Use TO learn
that the patient whose appendix WIS re-
moved during the interval mas made a
recovery.

The Old Clothes Market.

Another market place Of special interest
is the Marche du Temple, a clothes market,
in the Rue du Temple. Here dealers in old
clothes ply their trade on the spot where
the Tour du Temple. once the stronghold of
the powerful Knights Templar. formerly
stood, and from which the place takes its
the Tour was used a royal treasury.
Later it served as the prison of the royal
family during the revolution. In 1911 this
old building, dating from 1212. was ruth
lessly torn down. and today this historic
spot is the foundation Of :. 100 secondhand
clothes stalls.
Other markets in Paris are the horse
market. the cattle market. the fowl market,
the wine market and On. There is even
the market for modes in the Rue de la
Grande Chaumiere and Place Blanche
where artists come every Monday morning
to hire men and women to pose for them,
the former at four francs and the latter
at five francs a day.
