the tuberculosis Wards He told of
the equipment provided at the Water
town hospital, consisting of open air
living apartments, violet ray house,

is the main method of treatment fol-
lowed in all of the state institutions,

hands fast it Is received and some receiv-

ing in fresh fruits yesterday. the dullness of

nounced than ever because of the wet weather,
which deferred early buyers. Everything on the
list in ample supply and quotations showed
no change other. though the ten
dency in the leading descriptions was toward
lower prices. A STRAIGHT carload of fancy red
