HEALTH FUNDS Low
Little Money Available for
Fight Against Disease.
STRUCTURES BY CONGRESS
Only SO, 900 Available for Personal
Services.
EPIDEMIC MIGHT BE SERIOUS
Salary List Calculated to Eat Large
~ Into This Amount-Dr.
Woodward's Fears.
EPIDEMIC MIGHT BE SERIOUS

The District has s245OO to use this
coming fiscal year for lighting contagious
diseases. Only $4,000 Of that amount can
be used for personal services.
This Is the first time Congress has ever
placed such a structure on the District
expenditures for fighting contagton.
The balance over and above the amount
available for personal services is scarce
ly of great value, say the health officials.
The fight on smallpox, scarlet fever.
diphtheria. ETC., is mostly a matter OF
personal service, they assert
Johnston Hopes for Best.
Commissioner Johnston said today that
the only thing to be done is to use the
appropriation just the way 1t has been
given the District.
But" he added there is no use
crossing the bridge till We come to 1t.
If an epidemic strikes the city it Will
be taken care of all right. There is no
likelihood OF yellow fever or smallpox
descending on this town and finding US
unprepared.
This thing reminds me Of a quotation
L am an old man and have lots Of trou-
bles, most of which never happened
However. those in touch with the stu
alton hour by hour believe there is good
cause to be watchful DR.. Woodward
limited this morning that if long series
Of epidemics should hit the city some
thing would go amiss with the limitations
placed on him.
The health officer is not so worried now
as perhaps he was when II was believed
that the $1O,OOo would have to be spent in
equal sums every month. At that rate a
furry of scarlet fever and smallpox
would scarcely be taken care of.
DR.. Woodward believes he can spend
that $1,000 as it is needed. But at the
to be fought this year the amount would
be expended in about six months.
Labors Of Service.
The contagio disease service covers
much more than the mere placardng of
houses 1t includes investigation into the
causes of outbreaks control of the tuber-
culosis situation, investigation into cpl
denies OF anything caused by milk.
Scarlet fever, diphtheria and smallpox
of course come under this service. 1t Is
always ready to cope with anything like
FLANDERS, cholera or any other plague.
DR.. Woodward said today that he main
tanned an elastic service. That Is. he did
not keep idle inspectors on hand. When
ever the diseases went up In number ne
adds to his force and drops OH meh as
the need for them decreases
Just at present, with little contagious
disease in the city, he has on his roll
only the three heads OF the contagious
disease service, experts of long practice.
together with one inspector. driver OF
the ambulance and the janitors of the
smallpox hospital and the quarantine sta
ton.
This Is about as low as he can cut the
force 1t would eat up more than half OF
the $1,000 with ease.
So 4, can be seen that II another cpl
dernic of scarlet fever, like the one just
mast. should descend on the city next year
there would have to be some maneuver-
ing to play the game within the rules.

pie to agree on some one plan and this has so far proved impossible. There is plenty of water if used only for domestic purposes to last Norwich for years but if an unfailing supply is to be furnished for manufacturing pur- poses, motors and elevators, we must have a larger watershed. One of a city's strongest appeals to manufac- turing concerns is the assurance Of an adequate water supply. and money thus invested might easily be indirectly re- turned many times over; as the pres ent plant gives the city handsome annual income ($33,000 last year) if would not seem utter folly to increase the capital invested.
 It is not my purpose to enter into a discussion as to the adyisability Of raising money at this time or at some other time.

With varying degrees of discomfort dining car and eat at d lower cost on reaching his destination; and if on the journey he munches on sandwich purchased at q lunch counter at a low cost price. it is not with the ex- pectation of not getting more sub stantial meal, but merely of tempora- rily helping matters until he can get it. Norwich's sandwich was those ex- tra inches on the Fairview dam. It may still be good policy to postpone the inevita ble expense. but 1t is for the wise citizen to see that the delay be not so long that his city's Judicious economy turns into parsimonious fol- ly.
 Votes of thanks to pr. Bunnell for his paper and to MT. Turner for his solo were registered by rising vote be- fore the meeting adjourned.

RADIANT HAIR
EVERY WOMAN CAN HAVE
 IT THESE MODERN DAYS

Nothing keeps woman youthful more than close attention io the hair. Any woman whose hair is dull. ihdcd or iusterless cannot be either beautl- ful or attractive.
 Dull hair casts around its owner an environment of stupidness. while the woman with brilliant. lustrous and liiH- uriant hair, though she may be far in- ferior in intellect than her dull haired sister, carries off the hOpors because of her respiendeDt hair.
 In Paris. where plain women know how to make and keep Themselves beautiful. the great hair dressing called Parislan Sage is much in demand.
 And since the introduction of Par isian Sage into America, over three years ago, society women in ail the large cities have learned that the e1H- fest, quickest and surest way 10 turn lifeless, duh and unattractiye hair Into brilliant, lustrous and luxuriaht half is to use Parisian Sage.
 Parisian Sage is sold by leading druggists in every town in America and by The Lee & OsgoOd Co, who guarantees 1t to cure dandrum. stop falling hair and itching scalp ln two weeks or money back.

Whats It's
 Worth? !?

There's been a time in your life when a nights restful sleep would have been considered almost priceless.
 Didn't you have some such thought only few hours ago when your sleep was disturbed and lost by that dis tressing cough?
 Didn't you feel then as though you'd give many times the price or SMi n WHITE PINE for something to ease the tickle, to smother the cough and let you woo 'ttired natures sweet re- storer, balmy sleep?" Of course you did.
 Don't be careless or indifferent to your condition - you can't tell what com plications may set in. Get a bot tie of Smiths White Pine at once. It will cure that cough in the shortest possible time-letting you sleep and rest.
 Price 25 cents.

The Meadow brook reservoir has a watershed of 98o acres, or one and one half square miles. It Is merely a col lecting-not an impounding reservoir it's water being delivered to Fairview by 24 inch pipe 7.160 feet long. Its bed is of such a peaty, swampy char acter that the cost of cleaning it down to hardpan is prohibitive. The water. therefore, cannot be held in storage thereon after warm weather strikes in and the consequent fermentation of vegetation begins, but must all be car ried into Fairvfew reservoir in the spring and early summer.
