REGULATION OF
 MILITIA WITH
 TYPHOID VACCINE


 Inoculation of the Connecticut Ma tiona1 Guard with anti-typhoid vac cine is being accomplished all over the state in compliance with the re- quest of the United States govern ment. This is believed to be done in anticipation of coming war maneuv- CTS.
 About 80 members of the Coast Ar ti11ery in Bridgeport will submit to the injections. Under the supervision of Capt. Frank w. Stevens and Major E. J. Adams, one batch of 25 patients has already undergone the two ad- ninistrations ten days apart and the last lot will soon be com p1eted-
 Under the army standards 800 mill lion dead typhoid bacilH are injected into the system followed by a second infection of 1000 million.
 It was found in the recent federal maneuvers in Texas that not one case of typhoid was contracted by inocu- lated subjects although several team sters who had not received the treat ment were stricken.

THE SMITH-MURRAY co.
MiIkmen Talk Of
 Raising Price As { Result of Cleanup

The recent order of the zBozrd of Health to investigate the conda tons under which 12 samples of milk taken from wagons peddlfng within the city limits and found upon test to fall be- low the set standards, has resulted in wholesale bettering of conditions in the outlying districts.
 Meat and Milk Inspector A. c. Knapp has issued orders for 4the fEe- modelling of various places where milk herds are kept, and cleanT1ness is be- ing maintained, cement floors laid, and whitewashing of the stables accom- plished. Others taking warning from the examples already set are renovat ing milk houses and stables.
 There is @, complaint among the pro- ducers that with the added cost of production the price received by both rniddlernen and distributors should be paid by the consumer. It is suggest ed that an additional cent be added to the retail price, and agitation is threatened.

TALK
 NOT SUBJECT TO
 ANTITRUST LAW

Washington, May 21Tefephone con versation is not subject for monopoly within the meaning of the Sherman antitrust law, according to a brief filed, today, in the supreme court by the United States Telephone Co. The brief was in support Of request to the court to review the decision Of the federal courts in Ohio that the com pany's contracts with 300 local ex- changes throughout Ohio, Indiana. and Illinois are in violation of the Sher- man law. The contracts bind the 1o- cal exchanges to give to rivals of the United States company no long dis tance business to points reached by the United States company.
 The United States company claims that telephone companies cannot vio- late the law like manufacturers or producers of articles who may con- troI the price by increasing or decreas- ing the supply. It's suppositfon is that the supply of telephone conversation is unlimited and cannot be restrained.
 The company further claims that if it's contracts are declared void the effect may be to destroy the business with an investment of five million dol lars and leave the field to Central Un- ion Telephone company.
