B. F. REID DEAD
Was One Of The Best Known Men
in Waterbury.

Bernard F. Reid, proprietor OF the
cafe at 652 South Main street, died
this morning at his home, 1163
East Main street, after short i'll
ness with a complication OF diseases,
Mr. Reid was born on Niagara street,
this city, 62 years ago, and was a
son of the late Mr. and Mrs Andrew
Reid. He was one of the best known
men in Waterbury and his many
friends will be surprised to learn of
his death, because few were aware
that he was i'll. Years ago Mr. Reid
was prominent in the Senior Tenn
perance society and Waterbury
bands. He worked for years in the
City Manufacturing Co at Benedict
& Burnham's, where he had con-
tract for most of the polishing. Later
he left the factory and engaged in
business for himself. He was prom
inent in fraternal institutions, and
at the time of his death he was a
member of Sheridan council, K. of
c., Court Shields, f. of A., the Mu-
tual Aid association and the South
Emu OoCldl Ilub. IlC " do Illc Till u
grand knight of Sheridan council
and was its treasurer for long time
He was also a member of the gov
eminent board and was instrumental
in having some of the best laws of
the order passed. Though not by
any means an offensive partisan, MIR
Reid took an active interest in re-
publican politics and held the Office
of city treasurer in 1898. He was a
pleasant, good natured man, who
made friends everywhere he went
and held them to the end. Anybody
who ever had an opportunity to know
Barney" as he was Familiarity
known, liked him and will regret to
learn that he will be with them no
more.
Besides his wife Mr. Reid leaves
two sons and one daughter, Attorney
Joseph Reid, Albert and Lucy Reid,
also two brothers, George of this
city and Albert of New York. He
also leaves a sister who resides in
New York.
The funeral will be held Sunday

DISEASE AND BULLET.
The Former Kills Most Men in Time
of War.

Washington. Feb TN wars, dis
ease kills more men than bullets.
Disease, too, is preventable, but many
nations. including the United States,
overlook that fact in the organiza-
ton of their army medical corps. The
result is very serious. 1t often hap
pens that men die in military camps
with barely shadow of cause The
time is ripe now, while we are at
peace, to take measures that will pre-
vent such mortality in time of war"
This is the Judgment of DR. Louis
l.. Seaman, who had experience in the
Spanish American war in the volun-
teer army of America. In the Boxer
rebellion in China. and as a special
observer, in the Russo-Japanese war.
He has made study of the medical
systems of the armies of the world. in
Guiding those of the United States.
England Germany, France. Russia
and Japan. He expresses the opinion
that the American system is seriously
deficient as compared particularly with
that of Germany and Japan, and in
some respects, is the worst Of all.
THE American medical corps sys-
ten in the army is archaic" he de-
clared. cit is far inferior to that OF
Japan and inferior. practically, TO

able 10 muster into our service the
cream, physically, of the men Of the

trouble is We do not give the men that

ter the ranks.
I'm all Of the wars during the past
two hundred years. Il is quite safe To
say that four times as many men have
died Of disease as have been killed i'm
