LADY'S FOOT LARGER

American convention was correct. the
latter remarking: MY experience is
that the English women's feet are
bigger than the feet OF American wo-
men. We do not stock anything less
than As. because they are not wanted
now. Indeed, young women Of eigh-
teen to twenty-five years take sizes OF
6 and Z, whereas their mothers wore
as small as and 3. But 1t does not
follow that because the girl OF today
is taller and bigger than her ancestors
and her feet are larger and developed
by the amount OF outdoor exercise in
which she INDUCES, that they are less
beautiful. On the contrary. the feet of
the present-day girl are more symmet-
rical than they used to be. We have a
customer who wears rs and her feet
are really beautiful Another wears

 'Dr. Corwin, 1 think.'
 "Thanks,' said the stranger, "the youngest fellow don't generally charge as much as the older ones. Where's Dr. Corwin's office?"
 He was directed toward the office of Dr. Corwin, veterinary surgeon, and started up that way. About fifteen min utes later he returned. sought out Felten and asked, in tone of injured dignity {:

Authorities are After Italians in Lime
 Rock Who Sell Booze
 The authorities of the town of Sails bury and especially the people of Lime Rock. are determined to root out the illegal liquor selling in that section, which has been extensively and boldly carried on by certain Italian residents.
 Deputy Sheriff Hornbeck has raided several of their places and confiscated large quantities of beer and liquors Most of the offenders have settled their cases without a contest. There was one however, Pete Bonezzi, who, although tcaught with the goods on him." made mp his mind to fight the case. But be- fore it was brought to issue he changed his mind, as it was his second offense and settled up by paying $lO0 and costs.
 It is asserted that whole carloads of beer and hundreds of bottled quarts of whiskey have been received regularly by these illicit sellers.

THE SCHOOL REPORT
SECRETARY GIVES FIGURES ,+
 SHOWING COST PER PUPIL
North Canaan Pays Less Per Capita of School. Attendance than the Average of Schools as Enumerated in the Whole State

The secretary's report of the School boards expenditures for the last school term of the year 1910. as printed else where in this issue of I he News is 8 gratifying showing, and should silence criticism of the school management, in the matter of expenditure especially.
 The document gives some enlighten- ing information which should interest every citizen. Is shows that the num- Der of children of school age-over four and under 16 years of age-in the town. enumerated Oct. 1, 1910, was 402; the number registered in the town school for the fall term was 365, and the aver age daily attendance, fall term, BIO.
 According to this report it appears that the daily cost of the schools. per child, computed on the basis of the October enumera tion. was 10 cents and mills; daily cost on basis of enumera- tion of all towns in Litchfield county, 10 cents daily cost on basis of all towns in the state, 10 cents and mills.
 On the basis of actual attendance for the fall term, 14 cents, mills; on the basis of average attendance for the en- tire school year of 1909-1910, IA cents, 3 mills-showing an actual reduction of cost per capita of school attendance, dur. ing the last school term, of one mill, in spite of extra expense incurred in the engagement of an additional teacher.
 On the face of the report it is manifest business-like fashion, and in a manner showing due regard for the welI-being of the pupil as we'll as the interests of the taxpayer. ...
 The policy of publicity adopted by the school board, ill the matter of publishing these details is a commendable one. especially i'll view of certain criticisms that have i'll the past been aimed at the school management, along the line of school expenditures. The showing made in this report, that the per capita cost of educating the children of North Canaan is materially below that of the average throughout. the state. will tend to eassure those who have held to the opinion that this town is paying too much for it's schools.
 The school board, through Secretary Freeman, indicates it confidence in its methods, and gives expression of it's good faith by inviting any citizen interested in school matters in any detail, to call at the office of the secretary and inspect the books or any item of detail employed in the management of the schools or the administration of the affair of the school department.

A J UTOIST IS SUED.
THEOPHlLE TOUISSANT
 WANTS $10,OOO DAMAGES
Teddy Cassasent Arrested and Bank Account Garnished in Case Alleging Reckless Driving Near East Canaan Last April.

Deputy Sheriff like" Hornbeck. of Falls Village, last week served papers in Q $10.0O0 damage suit brought by Theophile Touissant of Canaan against Teddy" Cassasent. formerly proprietor of the old United States Hotel in Litch- field. Defendants money in Litch field was garnisheed and his body attached by the deputy sheriff. and the case is returnable at the February term of the superior court, at Winsted.
 The action grows out of an automobile accident" in East Canaan on April IF, last, when it was alleged that the defendant, driving his machine at high and reckless speed, collided with the wagon in which the plaintiff was riding. near the Whiting River fill, hurling the horse and wagon into ditch beside the road and infiicting upon the plain tiff serious injuries. including several broken ribs and many severe and painful bruises, besides wrecking the wagon. It is clalmed that the auto was running recklessly on the left-hand side of the road, at the time of the collision.
 J. Clinton Roraback of Canaan is counsel for the plaintiff, and Frank B. .Munn of Winsted for the defendant, 'Cassenet, it is said. claims that he did not approach the Touissant vehicle, even closely.

DID BROOCH DIE OF
 INFANTILE PARALYSIS?
Evident Disagreement of Physicians as to the Character of East Canaan
 Boys Fatal MaIady.

Young James Broggi, of East Gan. aan, whose illness was reported in last weeks News, died in the Winsted Hos pital Friday,
 There seems to be some question over the nature of the fatal malady. An nounoement was made that this was the first case of infantile paralysis in this section." Dr. Lee, the health off, cer. however. states that when the case came to his attention he diagnosed it as u case of spinal meningitis. The boy had been afflicted with an ear trouble, and it was thought probable that he may have fallen while skating, and sus- tained injuries which resulted in his sickness but there was no evidence of paralysis, Dr. Lee said, and no meas ures were taken to quarantine the house. Dr. Pratt of Winsted, who took care of the patient at the hospital, gave the cause of death, on the death certificate, as spinal meningitis.
 Dr. Adam, who attended the boy up tn the time he went to the hospital. is of the opinion that it was a case of in- fantile paralysis. He says the symp- toms corresponded with those attending that disease, according co medical au- thorities, and were decidedly unlike those of spinal meningitis. pr. Adam admits that he had never had case of infsntile paraly sis in his practice, and says very few doctors in this region have ever seen a case of it. He had called Dr. Hamant, medical examiner of Norfolk, who has had experience in the treatment of infantile paralysis. and he agreed that this was a case of it. The hospital authorities had the boy placed in the isolation ward, which indicated concurrence in the sme view, for while it is known that spinal meningitis is not contagious, it is not known that in rantile paralysis is not, and due precau- tions are generally taken. The fact that the Canaan health officer ordered that the casket be not opened. was con- sidered judicious action.
