ADDRESS GIVEN ON
 FIRST AID TO INJURED
Dr. James j. Donohue Talks to the Y. N. c, 4. Gym Class and Friends.


 Tn the health talk series before the '. M. c. A. members and friends, at the association Monday evening, Dr. James ]. Donohue spoke on First Aid to the Injured, and said:
 In discussing the question Of First Aid tonight, it does not come within my province to say whether or not four ounces of alcohol is a food or a rcison, as has been stated here to you on previous occasions, but can assure you that if you will take four ounces often enough, yru wilt have plenty of opportunity to put into prac- tical use your knowledge of lrst aid to the injured.
 I suppose that is one Of the reasons why so many of the accidents occur on Monday, and on days following a dition cf the nerves, following holiday indiscretionE.
 But, regardless of cause, the fact stands out that a person is more lia- ble to accidental death than any other single cause, with the exception Of consumption and pneumonia A per- son is twice as liable to die from acci- dent as from old aga.
 In the United States, 11,0oe, 900 nou- fatal accidents occurred in 1908. That is about 39,o00 people injured each day. A person ig 100 times more lia- bIe to receive an injury than a cass of consumption.
 When more wcrkmen become indus tr4ally interested tangibly, it will greatly facilitate measures which may be advanced for the conservation cf energy and the prevention of industrial accidents.
 He referred to the znany kinds of henCrrhageS, broken bones, burns. bites, spTaing, reconciliation, resEira- ton, and poisous.
 When a man loses an arm Of a leg, even though VIC had all ideal work Iuan's compensation act, and he re- ceived stipulated price for that lost nembcr, still the earning power Of that man has gone, and rhe com munity bas suffered direct loss. The burden has been distributed, but the loss is still the same.
 If, from aa economic standpoint ou- iy, to say nothing of humanitarian, it behooves ths general public to con- slider more carefully the question of caring for and safeguarding the sim ews of the nation. The general pub lie settles for the caveIessness, directly or indirectly, in every case, whether by loss of services of the one de- stroyed or by taxation Of the com munity to support a widow and de- pendent children.
 It is estimated s3,09e persons are killed by accident in this country ev- cry year, and one-half of those are caused by machinery in motion, so it would hardly be just to pass the sub aset XeitheRta Ss6sEsaoe ts aemesmsaRa

After a ten day shutdown for the annual inventory at the Norwich branch of the McCrum- Howell com uany, work was resumed at the plant on Monday when about fifty hands were there getting things in readiness for the full complement of hands to- day. There is plenty of business for the local plant of the company, which is now operating under receivers. and it is expected that the plant will be run steadily, there being over 200 hands employed there.
 Monday is the date announced when the plant closed that work would be resumed, and the receivership has ap- parently had no affect upon the busi- ness which the company does in the heater and radiator line.
 Continuous Demand for Products.
 L. c. Ryce, who went to New York Tuesday by request to meet the re- ceivers of the McCrum- Howell com- pany, some of whose stock Is held by Hartford people, was seen at his home Sunday, says the Hartford Courant, but declined to say anything about the condition of the company except that everybody concerned was working as hard as he could to check up all val ues in the balance sheet and that the orders morning in indicated a contin- uing demand for the company's pro ducts. The receivers are operating the plants, taking orders, and delivering gods. When told of the report that the stockholders were to appoint an investigating committee of which he was to be chairman, MT Ryce con scnted to be quoted as follows:
 "The report ahoat in Hartford that the stockholders of the McCrum- How ell company are to appoint an investi- gating committee does harm to that company. There is no such commit tee, either in fact of in prospect, There Is no occasion fo rone The report

PERSONAL TAX DUE
 BY FIRST OF APRIL.
Nearly $4,oOo Paid in Now, But About $S,o00 Moro is to Be Collected Yet.

The tax collector is expecting busy time for the rest of this week and the first of next week receiving personal taxes In order to accommodate many who cannot get to his office during the day, he is to keep his office open the last two nights of the week and next Monday night.
 The personal tax is due the first of April, and at the present time there has been paid in to the collector $5,S34, leaving about s6,00O more to be re- ceived by him before the entire amount is in. It is expected that there will be some errors, but the greater part of the sum will be se- cured. Not so many complaints as usual are received by the collector over paying this tax, and one man who paid the tax said he was glad to do it, for it is a tax which reaches all men be- tween 21 and 60, many of whom would in no other way contribute to the ex- penses of the community, but live off the taxes paid by others, hoard up money and send it out of the country.
