Dr. Jennings, the health officer of the town of Griswold, has prepared the following report which will be is- sued Monday:
 For the town, not including the bor- ough of Jewett City, there is the ut- usual condition of but one case of a. contagious disease reported. There was one case of typhoid fever reported in October last. The disease was con- tracted in Plainheld. There was no case following this importation. There were no nuisances reported. The phy- sicians of the town were informed of the law requiring cases of tuberculosis to be reported. The hotels and board ing houses were notified of the law pertaining to the use of individual towels. The several school commit tees were notified regarding the use of individual drinking cups. There was unanimous response. As the use of individual drinking cups would mean but little, if the formerly used water pail should continue in use. each district provided its school with c drinking fountain, 50 that water could be properly obtained and all danger of contamination avoided.
 Of twenty four samples of milk col- lected from dealers, three had unsat- isfactory showing as to the number of bacteria. One showed aduiteration of
 water. All the other samples were OK
 Reporting cases of consumption to the health officer is not well under
 stood. While it Is of some value to
 have reported cases that have died of
 this disease, that the rooms occupied
 may be disinfeoted, 1t is of much more
 value to have the incipient cases re-
 ported, that the patient and the fam fly may be properly advised how to prevent the disease from spreading to other members of the house. For, while
 many cases are cured. 1t is of far
 greater value to be able to prevent
 the disease from getting e foothold than later to effect a cure
 He speaks of the new sanitarium in Norwich and says: No case will be debarred on account of pecuniary con- ditions or the advanced stage of the disease A few months ago meeting of the citizens was called that they might get information regarding the
 sanitartum. It was addressed by Hon. J. F. Gunshanan of New Haven, and Drs. Donohue and Shahan of Norwich. A committed, with E. J. Carroll, pres ident, and A. c. Burdick. clerk aud
 treasurer, was organized to have the
 matter of raising funds to be used for helping the sick and those dependent
 on them for support. The committes
 now has $500 in the treasury. The doctor says: A unanimous ef- fort should be made to help this com mittee that consumption may not only be greatly curtailed but entirely root ed out, and the community be made | free from this dread disease.

Your articles convey a great deal of information to~the public. I think the newspapers can well afford to pub fish them gratis, for the articles you have been furnishing me lately con- stitute some of the best things that occur in my paper. wish ssou con- tinued success in your magnificent work"
 My Dear Sir:-I appreciate your let- ter. It is not the only one of the kind l have received.
 I know that Peruna has been great ly misrepresented and misunderstood. have not had time heretofore to an- swer these objections. have been too busy in my many enterprises. My great farm, with it's various depart ments, has so thoroughly engaged my enthusiasm and attention in times past that l could give little heed to critics.
 But have taken up the matter now. My farm is in the hands of fn- telligent overseers and my other busi- ness is all organized in such a way that can give my attention to these matters. l am proposing now to ex- plain to the public all there is to say about Peruna, knowing full well as soon as the public understands it that the malicious things said about Peruns will be quickly forgotten.

JEWE'rr CITY
Baptist Church Replaces with Steam Old Heater of ts4o--A. F. Shaw and George MoslIer Resign at Aspinoek Heath Officer Jennings' Annual Report.

Next Sunday. If the temperature is sufficiently low to demand 1t, the Jew ett City Baptist church will be heated for the first time in it's history with steam The church was built in 1S40, being dedicated seventy years ago. At the time of its construction the big hot-air oven, which has just been removed, was built into the church. It was made of brick, ten feet long by eight feet in height, in double layers, with a dome top. Inside this chamber was placed the furnace pipes. It was set on brick posts three feet high, was made of boiler iron, cylin- drical in shape feet by 2 1-2, with the door end set into the brick cham bers. A door in the brick work al- lowed person to enter the oven, where 1t was possible to walk all around, over and under the fire box. The hot air was piped in big 14-inch flues to the audience room above. where it came through the floor in the middle of the aisles. The tanitor es- inmates that twenty-five cords of four foot wood has been required to heat the church each year. For the 72 years since the construction of the church the rapacious maw of this primitive heater has taken in 1900 cords of wood, which at $4 cord, has cost the sum of $7,20O.
 A fine new modern coal burning heater has been installed by the com mittee in charge of the repairs now going on.
 It is probable that the raging of this old heating oven. marks the passing of one of the few that remained in New England of this style of heating, which was in use three generations ago.

POLICE DO THEIR FULL DUTY.
Never Fail to Investigate Complaints,
 Chief Filling Maintains.

Chief George M Filling of the local police force rather resents the yelled imputations of overardent no-license writers that the Danielson police have not arrested as many persons for in toxication as they might have during the past il months. Chief Filling was a little bit warm about the matter Friday morning. When these ~aople see a man whom they think should be arrested for intoxication they should come and make complaint" the chief said in discussing the matter.
 'They should remember that the Danielson police are not members of a paid department The only time they Saturday nights and Sundays, and they cannot be expected to remain about town all day looking for intoxi = cated men; they have their regular duties to attend to.
 If a complaint is made at any time by any person it will be taken care of by the police, but they cannot be ex- pected to be running around all day looking for drunks to arrest. The po- lice have not failed to do their duty
