WANTS AN ASSISTANT.
Work of Waterbury Building InsPee- tor Has Incrsased-Salary Stands Still.

In 1902 and 1903. buildings costing probably $1,500,000 were erected to replace those destroyed by fire in February, 1902. The above figures Chatfield as part of his argument to duties.
 There is no deputy assistant at ford to be i'll for a day or to take a day off, because if he does the work of his department stops until he comes back. The board of aldermen can ap- point a deputy building inspector at city had deputy inspector, he got $5 a day when on duty, which was only during the absence from the city of MT. Chatfeld.
 The building inspectors office is open daily from 10 to 12 and from 3 to for the filing and inspection of plans. He has to make his trips of inspection before 10 a. m- and between 1 and 3 P. m-. because after p. m if he visits a building he finds nobody on the job.
 If he made only one visit to each job during 1908, it would have been an average of three visits for every working day. and it is very rarely that the work is so unimportant that one call at a building will suffice. The largest building erected in Waterbury last year was the Oakville company's new factory. which he visited twelve times in all A thorough inspection of a large piece of work like a fac tory building requires an hour or two each time. The average number of visits to a new building in Waterbury is nearly half a dozen. MT. Chat fields salary is s1.S00 a year and his office expenses are merely nominal. The city furnishes him with $7 worth of trolley car tickets a month, and h. ha fourths hours during 1909, so that the total expense of the department is less than s2.ooo a year. This is one-twen- tieth of one per cent. of the cost of the buildings. An architects custom ary fee for superintendence is two and one-half per cent.
 MT. Chatfeld is fighting to get an assistant building inspector appointed at $1.000 to s1.20o year to stay in the office while he is on outside work and to assist in inspecting the grow ing number of buildings, also to have the city furnish horse at cost of

PAsTY FOOD
 Too Commonly Used

The use of pasty cereals is not ad- visaIble. A physician says: Tasty cereals are very indigestible and a bad thing for the stomach, causing a de- pressed feeling and quite a train of disorders. particularly of the dntes- tines and nerves.
 Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can be cooked long enough and well enough to fit them for human use but the ordinary way of cooking leaves them in pasty condition-''
 A gentleman from Evansville, Ind, says:
 My physician prohibited the use of oats and wheat for I was in a bad condition physically, with pronounced dyspepsia
 He said the heavy paste was indi- gestihe but that Grape-Nuts, being 6 thoroughly cooked food and cooked in such a manner as to change the starch into a peculiar sugar, could be easily digested-
