Already many communities can fur nish examples of the collusion between the medical inspector, whether a doc tor or a nurse, and the private prac- tftioner, the dentist or the optician. Instances could be multiplied of the inspector furnishing the parents with the name of a physician to whom they are urged to take their child for treatment.

DR.CLARkE SKETCHES
 ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Before the Mems Brotherhood of the First Presbyterian church last evening Dr. H. M. Clarke. physician and surgeon of the Crane Valve com pany, outlined the work being done in this big industrial concern in the way of caring for accidents. injuries and sickness of employees.
 Dr. Clarke's address proved to be an eye-opener to many, illustrating very forcibly the value of accident prevention and sketching some of the methods in use to protect the workers at various dangerous occupations. pr. Clarke also told of the immense pro- gress made by Germany in this line "a progress which the manufactur- CTS of this country have long ignored, and have thereby been asleep at the switch,'' to their own best interests.

EXPLOSIONS IN MINES
Work of U. S. Bureau of Mines-How
 Rescue Work is Conducted.
Wonlen's section.

While the efforts of the United States Bureau Of Mines are being mainly di- rected toward a prevention of the ac- cdentS in the coal mines that are re- sulting in such a large death roll each year. the experts of the bureau are not neglecting the rescue work which is necessary following a disaster The bureau has seven mine safety cars and six stations in the various coal fields with practical miners Arained in res cue work, ready at moments notice to respond to the call for assistance. Since the bureau was organized, year and a half ago, its rescuerS have been Instrumental in saving more than for ty lives Of miners. Still more impor- fanf, the bureau has introduced in the coal mine a new system of rescue work which has at last put a stop to the killing Of volunteer rescuers. The heroes who died in the past while en- deavoring to save the lives of en- fombed miners number in the hun dreds
 As every great movement has its martyrs, the Bureau of Mines rescue work seems to be no exception. Two trained reScuers have already given up their lives in this cause, one at the Pancoast disaster, Throop, Pa, one year ago, and the other at Cherry Valley, Pa, a few weeks ago.
 At the most recent mine disaster, at Briceville, Tenn, few weeks ago, the bureaus rescuers brought five men to the surface alive and succeeded in pre- ventilg z the death of any of the volun- teer rescuers. In discussing rescue work of the bureau, Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, the Director, said to-day. "I am glad that not man was lost in the rescue work at Bricev1lle. And may add that I have never anywhere seen a more orderly and we'll directed ha at Pr1 rOr a better class of miners. The equip ment of the Bureau of Mines and the number of men trained in the use of the helmet was entirely inadequate, and as a result the progress was un- fortunately slow. But a few lives were saved: none of the rescuers were lost. The experience gained will be most helpful in future.
 At the Hanna mine in Wyoming, a few years ago. some forty rescuers rushed into a mine in the hope of res cuing fifteen or sixteen miners who had been caught in an explosion, and all of the forty rescuers were killed. It is to be hoped that such an experience will never be repeated in the history of American rescue work American min- CTS of to-day are just as brave as those in any other country, or those of any other time, burt they are learning by experience that there is nothing to be gained by rashneSS in mine rescue work
 Under the new system now being introduced men wearing different types of brea thing apparatus are ex- pected to go into the mine in advance to investigate the condition of the mine, adopt the necessary steps to- ward ventilation, and find and extin- guish smolGering mine fires; also find and rescue any persons who may still be living in the remoter portions of fhe mine This modern type of res
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-28

Where the coal dust in mine is dry and where the explosion becomes general, facts seem to indicate that nearly all of the men in the mine are killed either from the violence of the explosion or from suffocation at the time of the explosion or within a few minutes thereafter. In such cases hope of recovering the men alive sev- eral days after the explosion Is ex- ceed1ngly remote.
 But miners are now coming to un- derstand that efforts will be made to rescue them and they will more and more try to protect themselves behind temporary barricades. Materials suit able for such barricades should be kept in the mines. Some day we may have a breathing apparatus so small and so cheap that every miner may have one of his own to keep in the mine, so that he can walk out through the poisonous gases whenever necessary

Chicken Pox And Small Pox

Special from United Press. ,

Naugatuck, March 28-The frequen- cy with which old chickenpox cases are diagnosed as smallpox coupled with the discovery of six new small pox cases and the prevalence of chick enpox caused the 'gravest fears, to- day. The fact that the disease is pre- valent is no longer denied.

A Miqhty Drinker.

William Lewis, Esq, of LlandisruRn.
who died on Dec. 30. 1898, in the act OF
drinking a "tumbler maur"-that is, a
cup of Welsh ale containing about a
wine quart-had made it rule in his
life to read certain number OF chap
ters in the Bible every morning and by
way of assisting in the digestion of so
much spiritual food to drink no less
than eight gallons of ale every morn
ing. 1t was calculated by some mathe-
NAUTICAL genius OF the time that in the
course of his life Mr.. Lewis must have
drunk enough ale to float a seventy
four gun ship. His size was extraor-
binary. II we may believe the Gen
tleman's Magazine he weighed $50
pounds, and the diameter Of his body
was no less than six feet. Fortunate
ly, says the writer OF his obituary no
tice. he died in his parlor, for it would
have been impossible TO bring him
downstairs in a coffin. Even as IT
was, the undertakers had to use a
crane 60 lift the coffin on to a car
riage and to have the same machine in
the churchyard to let 1t down into his
grave.-Chambers Journal

I PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES:

Last Sunday was very cold, but
the services especially in the even

choir; and the duet by Messrs. Kin
near and Jackson was worthy of
the appreciation accorded.

his series of Sermon Lectures on
"The Young Mans Makeup" TAX
ing as his subject 1.-THE Young
Mans School OF Preparation"
Worthy Americans thirst for know
ledge. A horse eats grass, but man
feast upon knowledge.
If man has plenty of gold, he
is not tempted by brass pennies.
Those getting rich in true know
ledge do not banker after dime

True knowlege is the best safeguard
against all that blights purity and
stultifies intelligence. This is
wealth more than millions.
The test of knowledge is its re-
suit in human life. Facts are
good, but better the development of
the capacity to overcome obstacles
and achieve victory out of defeat,
Memory is good, but far better to
do something worth remem boring.
Intellectual acuteness is good for
by it we may execute mental gym
nastict; but better still is the ener-
getic Character that transforms
knowledge into Immoral Life. AS
virtue is better than theory, as life
is better than fancy, so mortality is
better than intellectually. The
"School of Preparation" must fit a
young man for life, as moral
force and worid-power.
Character is the man behind the
guns; and it is knowledge lived in
TO everyday lie By habit. Envl-
ronment effects weak character; but
strong character is above environ
ment and changes environment
