CURING APPENDICITIS Merely Matter of Exercing Common Sense, According to Meriden Phy- sician

In opening his third illustrated lec- ture at the Meriden Auditorium the other night, Dr. B. F. Beardsley gave Is minute talk on Appendicitis. He said thot it was generally supposed that appendicitis was caused by some foreign substance getting into the tppcndix, which is not true. Appen- dicitls, he said. is due almost entirely to constipation. If persons feeling the pain coming on would take first a large dose of epsom salts, then fif- teen minutes later Q dose of castor oil, then fifteen minutts later again the salts, and in fifteen the oil, almost invariably they, would be relieved. He also said that hot applications were necessary, and that an important thing to remember was that-if pus had formed the heat would increase the pain, while if it had not, the pain would be relieved. In the meantime a physician should be called
 He particularly empha sizedl the fact that at the time one should not hesi- tate or walk. Concentrated foods should eaten except with the heartiestA meal of the day. He recommended that tive apples be eaten just before retiring and that while dressing in the morning two glasses of water be taken
 Following these simple directions and observing entire regularity of ha bits he said would cude the most obstinate ease of constipa tion, and thus remove the danger of the dreadful eppendici- tis

Relative 10 the homestead of Col onel John Durkee, who took such an important part here during revolution ary times, Amos A. Browning has been making 9, thorough search to de- termine the location of his homestead In this he has been successful, and writes regarding it as folI.ws
 At the time of the celeb f.tion of the 250th anniversary of the rounding of Norwich. inquiry was made as to the location of the home of Colonel John Durlee of revolutionary fame. A marker bearing Dursee's name and the ears of his birth and death was plac- ed on a. tree upon the Thomas land, so- called, on the easterly side of West Town street. about half way between Norwich Town and Bean Hill It was understood that this very likely did not mark the exact site of the Durkee house, but it's location was believed to have been in that vicinity.
 An examination Of the Norwich land records points to location of the house lot a few rods south of that i'm dicated, on land now partly owned by Henry J. Kilrow, No. 103 West Town street. and partly by the Weller estate
 In I752 Nathan and John Durkee purchased of the Ephraim Farnam es- tate the dwelling house and a tract of land on the easterly side of Town street, as then called, four rods wide in front and ten rods deep. This was the home of Colonel Durkee during all the later years of his life. and probably from the time of the pur- chase. The house is referred to in a deed of the premises from Gurdor Huntington to Eliphalet Baldwin o1 1S11, as owned many years by Colonel John Durkee" An earlier record, in

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Four vaudeville acts and well se- lected list of moving picture films made up an entertaining and fun-p pro- ducing bill at the Auditorium on Mon day, beginning the week before good sized audiences. With a special bat tleship setting which opens up with a night scene showing the lighted ship, L'AigIon, the flying sailor, does lot of fancy and novel work on the high horizontals and trapeze winning a hand in particular for his human-f fly act in which he walks head downward from one side of the stage to the other.
 Two turns that score biz in the comedy line are The Hamiltens and the Crumbley & Davis team. The first named have neat little duologue~ of songs and jokes with something of the lively soubrettish in Miss Hamilton's work that is a faverita with all who see and hear her. Crumbley 6. Davis are a clever pair of coon shouters who mix up with their funny work some taking vocal selections that make a hit
 Lees Marionettes are done with skill and bring out the laughs for the funny antics of these little people as handled by MT. Lee. The bill as a. whole fills out it's two hours with pleasing enter tainment.

DAY NURSERY.
Makes Rapid Growth in Middletown
 Since Started.

The growth of the day nursery,
 which was opened at S4 Union street
 in December, has surprised even those
 who predicted it's success, says the
 .Middletown Sun. The nursery was
 opened on the 18th of December. No
 children came until the 22d, Since
 then progress has been steady. The
 number of children cared for during
 the last two weeks of December was 30, in January 220, in February 236; Is is the highest number cared for in one day. The committee in charge is care full to investigate all children who ap- ply to make sure that there is neces- sity of the mothers going to work. The nursery will not receive children when the father Is alive and physically able to support them. The arrival of a new matron during the past week was a matter of interest. Mrs. Woodrow of Fairhaven, Mass. is a lady who has ex- perience in many directions, and her coming is regarded as a distinct gain. In the maintenance of such an insti- tuition many. needs arise.
