William NJ. Tyler of Bucks Hill Has
 Been Buying Property.
 William M. Tyler of Bucks Hill is home after a few weeks vacation spent with relatives at Lebanon, Mis- souri, When he reached there the ground was covered with snow and all the trains were running behind schedule time, an unusual condition of affairs in that part of the country. Before returning ~ Tyler bought a handsome block and two acres of ground in the most fashionable part of the town, and while he refused to say whether he intends to occupy it, still his actions showed that there was Likelihood of Waterbury losing one of it's best known and most popular citi- zens. Although snow was on the ground at Lebanon the weather was not chilly and a man could feel com fortable with light clothing. He said there was excellent sleighing there, but one never hears the merry tinkle Iof sleigh bells on the streets of Leb- anon for the reason that such vehicles are not used there at all. The snow does not last long enough for such sport. He noticed snow on the ground all the way home and consid- cred the weather about as cold as he cared to have it. When he started southward it looked as if we were likely to have an open winter in Con- necticut, but judging by what he had seen since he got back he was satis- fled that there was some mistage about this. MT Tyler makes regular trips to Lebanon and while he regards it pleasant place to live in. still he has not yet made up his mind that it has any advantages over that charm ing spot known as Bucks Hill where one can stand on the doorstep and command a splendid view of the l1ills and valleys of old Connecticut.

 ation for Curvature of the Spine.
 New York, Dec 1O.-A rather rare operation to correct a curvature of the spine was performed the other day at the Polyclinic hospital i'll this bor- ough by Dr Royal Whitman on Seth Williams of 30 Willow street, Brook lyn. Williams, who is about 30 years old, came from New Zealand three years ago. He had already begun to be troubled by curvature of the spine, due to heavy fall, and lately had ex- perienced difficulty in breathing.
 To cure the curvature it was neces- sary to force his back by main strength to straight position. In doing this one of the vertebrae had to be broken and reset. He was in formed that the chances were against his recovery, but willingly submitted. After the operation, which was ac- complished with apparent success, the patient was put in a cast, which was later discarded for thinner one.

At Camden. n. j., they were discuss

New Jersey, when Dr. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking OF the
senator's death this afternoon. said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and 1t was there
that he went FOR relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had. resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"

access, and the psychic influences of

wonderful. There are no chill winds to

advice is to send all patients with kid
