WESLEYAN FACULTY INCLUDES EIGHT
 COLLEGE ANCIENTS

Middletown, Conn.,, Dec. 17-Sev- eral members of the Wesleyan Univer- sity faculty are rounding out long memberships and in the university bulletin just issued they are classed as 'tancients of the college" Prof. William North Rice began teaching as a full professor 45 years ago this autumn, Caleb Thomas Winchester 0 years ago, Morris Barker Crawford 30 years, and R. Campbell Armstrong and Herbert William Conn 25 years, and William Edward Mead Walter Park Bradley and Oscar Kuhns 20 years ago, all as full professors.
 The bulletin itself completed it's 25th year. When it's first number ap- peared the faculty numbered but i9 and the student body 19O, the num- Der of books in the library about 8 36, : 900 and the library fund $18,792. To- day the faculty numbers 35 and the student body 415. Among contribu- tors from the faculty on topics of edu- cationaI interest were one or two on the study of history by woodrow Will son.
 The financial statement of the Univ ersity for the year ending June 30, last, shows an increase of $232, 282S in endowIn ent funds, bringing the total of such funds to $2,O46,532. The total payments to the new endowment fund up to June 30 amounted to $545365 The last fiscal year closed with a small surplus after wiping out the accumu-

age in quantities large enough to prove our assertions said MT. Sapborn yes terday Not only have we recovered grease and ammonia and saved fer tiIizer altogether worth between $25 and $3O, but we have purified the afflu- ent absolutely so that 1t analyses less than 300 bacteria to the cubic centl- meter The cost of treating 1,OO0,Ooo gallons is figured at about $6 to De safe but actually it will not amount to that much.
 s.Now all that remains to be done is to demonstrate to the city govern ment that we can do the same in commercial quantities at saving, considering labor, materials and the investment.
 s"rhis is the easiest part of the work, but we do not expect the city government to lay out a large sum until it is demonstrated beyond any doubt that it can be done. We have worked hard on this matter because we were deeply interested in it.
 "Our tests have been larger by far than laboratory experiments. We have done the work on a compara- lively large scale and have used two l, 1,30O-gallon tanks. The result has been convincing and gratifying. We have produced values going as high as $28.75 a ton.
 5 cents a pound and we get about 500 pounds of it from 100000 gallons. From the same amount we get about 1,5O0 pounds of fertilizer worth about SIP and ammonia worth about $2.50. These estimates are low. The cost of the process for materials is about $6 per 100000 gallons. This cost is high but of course does not include the labor or the investment.
 we remove all the grease from the fertilizer, which makes it high class, as grease takes away the value of a fertilizer. It has been tested and will give 50 per cent. of nitrates into the soil the first year. That is an important consideration in a fer tilizer.''
 The work has been under way about 3 years off and on, but deter mined efforts only began about two years ago.
 More than 29, ,o00, 100000 gallons of sewage go through the plant yearly and if the saving can be made on all of it, upward of a half million dol lars would be returned to the city every year, whereas nothing is re- covered now.
 The engineers now have a small plant at the Calf Pasture Pumping station, consisting of a small labora- tory connected with Ine depositing reservoir where the sewage is thor oughly mixed before being sent into Boston Harbor. The thoroughly mixed sewage, assuring a fair sam pie of the bulk, flows into the labora- tory where it is mixed with sulpruric acid gas. From there it runs into two tanks, each holding 1905 gallons. where it is allowed to settle The efluent is drawn off carrying less than 300 bacteria to the cubic centtmetre, and then the precipitate is taken out, dried, the grease and ammonia re- moved, and the rest left as fertilizer. To do the work on larger scale would necessitate the use of presses, filtration or other separation process, to take out the water, whereas it can be done now more crudely. The fact that the effluent is prac- t1cally pure water eliminates the ne- cess1ty Of storing it until the tide goes out as is now the case

Desperate Is Sent
 To Insane Asylum On Governors Order

On order of Governor Baldwin, In Festigator Alexander Morrissey of the Charities department removed from the Lakeview Home Insane pavilion a strange Character registered as Nicho- las Chevanak. Weird stories of the mans record as a desperado in his native Hungary have come in round about ways to Charities officials, who held the man in wholesome respect by reason of his great physical strength.
 Chetanak was placed under re- EtraiTlt-- at Lakeview home two weeks ago. when fellow boarders in a Hal lam street tenement became alarmed at his strange conduct. His apparena insanity coupled with the stories of his record in Hungary made him a terror in the neigh borhood. The charities officials reported his condf- tion fo Gov Baldwin who in a special order authorized his immediate re- moval-

Park City Auto Supply
 Co. To Move By June 1

Alter hearing before the fire com mittee of the Common Council last night, the proprfetors of the Park City Auto Supply Co. who conduct a supply store in State street, agreed to move their repair shop from the vicinity by June 1. A remonsIrance against the continuance of the garage in the To- caIity was filed with the committee by Dr. William w Gray. George H. N Johnson and the Bridgeport Land & Title Co. The remonstrants told the committee they had no desire to put the automobile company out of busi- ness but they wanted the shop re- moved. The matter was settled as stated.
 The petition of William H. Nichols asking to erect two two and one half story buildings at Fairfield avenue and Monroe street within 20 feet of each other was referred to the city attor- ney as to whether this would be legal ly done.
 Gizo Vicsey who asked permission to erect a three-family house in the rear of a six-fami1y house at 363 BostWick avenue, was given leave to withdraw his petition. The petition Of Gabriel Tekin to move a building in East Main street was granted.

My pre- diction came true and I am glad that you are now perfectly well again. It required some labor on your part to follow dietetic instructions, but it cer- tain1y has paid you to do so, ana It should encourage others to proceed along similar lines.

 Dear Doctor:-what is the cause of nosebleed? Is the blood too thick weakness? I am troubled with Ire quent nose bleed and have often won dered if it could be prevented. Am physically strong and well.
 ". O. c.
 Persons who are clronical1y troubled with nose bleed are either anemfc or have too much blood as a rule. Nose bleed is usually insignificant con dition and in many cases gives relief after severe mental strain or for people who are liable to apoplexy. Very often, however, it is so profuse that 1t causes much weakness. Some people are especially addicted to nose bleed. and they are then not well and need trea tnnent- They should not live in a high altitude where the atmos- phere is light and the blood vessels are dilated and easily burst. The ap- plication of cold water over the nose and back of ears is often sufficient. In many instances the plugging up of the nostri1s with cotton will stop the flow. Pressing firmly upon the artery in the temple; holding the head back; or placing in the nostri1s finely minced salt dried beef; injecting a little ice water containing a little salt are all often of much value. Remen- Der that one should never blow the nose under these conditions.
 Noseb1eed may be caused by lack of blood, and in such conditions en- ergetic measures should be adopted so as to prevent frequent attacks. In your case, however, I do not think 1t is the cause. Am rather inclined to think that it is due to the high alti- tude where you live. Next time you write tell me how much you weigh, your height, age, etc. As your gen eral health is good there is no cause for alarm. however,

TO APPROPRIATE s1o.oOO.

The work has been done at the main drainage works at the sewer service il; Dorchester. It's evident success has assured the appr reputation of about s1OOO0 to carry the work further and to work on about 100000 gallons g. day if the work proves of benefit on the large scale, there seems little doubt that the city of Boston will handle all of it's sewage by the new process.
 Those who have been doing the large experiments desire to try out their pro- cess on a million or a, half million gall Ions a day to fully demonstrate the possibilities of it before committing the city to a big investment to change over it's plant
 Commissioner of Public Works Louis K Rourke is convinced that there are great possibilities in the work and is inclined to favor an outlay of $10,000 For a suitable plant.
 Engineer Sanborn. working with Chief Chemist Miles and Engineer Door. has actually recovered commer- ctaI values amounting to upward of $25 for the million gallons, and the cost has been figured at less than S6 for treating that amount The figures they quote are conservative for the values recovered and high as to the cost, as they did not wish to overesti- mate the saving to be realized.

Dear Doctor:-It has been some time since I last wrote you, but T have been steadily gaining and now have gone back doing my own work, in- cIuding the washing, and think I feel just as well as ever did in my life. do not think 1t necessary to continue treatment any more than drinking the buttermiIk and taking the lemon And hot water in the m6rning. My weight remains the same and feel fine. I now want to thank you most heartily for what you have done for me. Your mode of treatment is so simple that child could follow it.

Experiments conducted on a large scale have proven to the satisfaction of Henry w. Sanborn, executive en- gineer of the main drainage of the Boston Sewer Service; Chief Engineer Edgar S. Dorr and Chief Chemist Geo. w Miles, who has worked with them in the tests, that in every million gal Ions of sewage there is opportunity to recover grease, fertilizer and ammonia worth from s25 to $50.
 In reality the work has passed bhe stage of experiment ana has become a commercial demonstration of fact:
 Mr.sSanborn, MT Dorr and MT. Miles are sure that they have discovered a process by which they can economi- caIly recover the valuable properties in sewage in commercial quantities, and, # conducted on a large scale, can save the city of Boston large sums an nualIy.

TO ELIMINATE BACILL.

Incidental to the discovery of an eco nomical method Of recovering the grease. fertilizer and ammonia, they have demonstrated that the same pro cess will eliminate bacteria from the effIuent, leaving it odor1ess and harm- less
 This achievement alone is something that never+shas- been accomplished by any community heretofore In itself, fl is a tremendous advance in the treatment of sewage.
 It has long been recognized that in sewage there was a large value, but no method has ever been found before bx which the values could be secured without prohibitive cost. Even at that, no one has been able before to remove the grease from the fertilizer without destroying the fertilizing qualities of the SIudge.
 The process employed by the engin- eers and Chief Chemist Miles releases the grease and the ammonia and leaves the fertilizer, carrying a large per cent. of nitrates Fertilizer of this kind has 2 high commercial value.

SORE SHOULDERS ON HORSES.

With the advent ;of spring work
comes shoulder and foot troubles in
horses. Young animals, especially,
are prone to collar bruise on account
of jumping around, uneven pulling
and jerking, which offsets the effect
Of the best setting collar.
First of all, remember prevention
is the easiest solution Of the pro-
blem. The old-fashioned method
of bathing the shoulders with an
oak bark solution, alternating with
cold water, several weeks prior to
working, thereby hardening and
tanning the skin, was a good
one. This, of course, is a tedious
job on big ranch with many horses
but will repay on colts.
A large collar is Just as bad as a
light one, and he careful that it is
not lumpy. \ firm, snug fitting
collar, with good pads, of course, is
best. As a substitute for the oak
bark, try tannic acid in alcohol OF
glycerine, in a ten to twenty pei
cent solution. Rub well several
times day, and alternate with q
salt water lotion. Begin work grad
ually, and should the shoulders gel
raw and infected, the advice of YOU
local veterinarian may prove valu'
able.

the winter the railroad companies
were unable to furnish sufficient
refrigerator cars for pe:ishablc goods
and rendered in many cases box
cars for potatoes which were ac-
cepted by shippers and the railroad
released from possible claims for
damages on account OF such box car
service. In addition the X. K. re-
quires on shipments Of potatoes a
bond guaranteeing the payment Of
the freight on potatoes. With all
Of these provisions of the railroad
companies it would seem that some
concession could be granted by them
