During the year 1904 we have gained 5000 telephones in Connecticut, and we can but believe that this is largely re- sultant of our efforts to furnish the kind of telephone service that pays.
 We do this because, from our stand point also, it pays; for, while the tele- phone has become a permanent insti-. tuition, our success and growth depend upon the good will and cooperation of our subscribers.
 We believe that you, as we'll as the 5000 others mentioned above, can use the telephone to advantage, and we should be glad to send a representative at any time to discuss all matters per taining to either business, residence or toll line service.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
MET AT HOME OF SECRETARY
 LINDsLEY.

Doinss of Recent Conference to be
 PubIished-BIIls to be Brought Be-
 fore Legislature-AnnuaI Report of
 Board voIuminous-Interestins Facts
 Given.
 A special meeting of the state board of health was held last evening at the home of pr. c. A. Lindsey on Elm street to consider the recent conference of the board which was held in Hart ford on the 18th and 18th of the month During the meeting it was voted to authorize the publication of the preceding conference. The legis- lation of bills to be brought before the legislature was also considered. ANNUAL REPORT OF STATE
 BOARD.
 The health of community is meas ured by its vital statistics, says the in troduction to the twenty seventh an- nual report of the state board of health of Connecticut, which has been sub mitted to Governor-elect Roberts in sac- cordance with the law, for distribution to members of the incoming legislature. An essential element of vital statistics Is the population to which the statis- tics apply. The movement of the pop ulation of Connecticut during the last forty years presents some peculiar and interesting features. In 1860 thirty five towns, enumerated in a table in the re- port, had a population of 239,516 while in 1903 the same tows had 71S,705. an increase in forty three years of 479, 189. The remaining 183 small towns with a population of 23S,0 ,043 in 1903 have gain ed only 17.412. Since public hygiene has been pursued by scientific methods we have had cleaner streets, public water supplies of usually reliable purity and public sewer systems.
 The annual report of the state board is quite voluminous, showing by means of scores of tables, statistics of various natures which come under the eye of pr. c. A. Lindsley of New Haven, the secretary These figures and tables travel by mathematical roads from births to deaths, following life through infantile stages to old age, and even quoting the divorce records of the state, Those things which make for the health of the individual and the community are matters of separate chapters. In 1903 there were 535 divorces granted by Connecticut courts.
