away from work a all.
 And efficiency in work is reduced on an average by ten per cent. for four days.
 Then there is the cost of doctors. medicines, invalid diet, nursing, etc, which amounts to a large sum in the case of a judge or a wealthy business man, and is necessarily a trffIe when the sufferer happens to be a day la borer. Jumping all together, and making a small average allowance for the cases of permanent disablement, death, and the cost of burial, an ex- perienced actuary puts down this item at SIPS an individual and he sums up the entire loss as follows:
 Loss of B, 100000 colds (doctors, med icines, etc.), $28, 75O, 900; loss by ab- sence from work Beverage of half a day for half the country's workers), $15, ,625, 600; loss by lowered efficiency QO per cent.) for four days in half the country's workers). SIP, 900, 0o0- Total loss, $56. 375. GOO.
 This is the cost of colds for March alone. As nearly as can be ascertain ed, from enquiry among medical men, March gives us about one-fourth of all the colds in the year.
 Multiplying the foregoing figures by four we get the total cost of a years colds at $225, 800, 600.
 Therefore, if we could put a, stop to colds, we might double the navy and defy the world, without being a, penny the poorer.

WESTPORT

It became known in Westport yes terday that Jacob ROsenWeg, better known under the name of Jack Rose, had purchased the place owned by walk road, and near the town line of Westport and NorWalk through the agency of A. c. Southey the real es- tate agent. It has been rumored for some time that Rose was seeking a home in this section of Fairfield cOun- ty and several places were reported as having been purchased by him. The deed had not been filed yesterday, but was expected to come in soon. Rose became pretty well exploited through the newspapers of the country during the trial of Lieutenant Charles Becker of the New York police departm ent for murder and it was principally through the testimony Of Rose that Becker was convicted and sentenced to the electric chair, the execution be- ing stayed pending the hearing of an appeal in the case. Rose was the man, according to his confession, who hired the murder car and the gunmen who did the actual killing. The place pur- chased by Rose has about four or five acres of ground and a house in good repair, and 1t is expected he will take possession almost immediately. He was in Westport Wednesday and the deal was completed at that time.

 There is considerable comment around town regarding the work done Sunday at the home of Mrs. Charlotte Nash at Church and King streets where some drainage work involving blasting was commenced The cause of the comment is largely because her son, F.

COST OF ONE YEARS COLDS
(Fron Answers, London.l

From Answers, London.)
 March is the month pre- e-eminentIy of coughs and colds in the head, and probably during it's four and a half weeks each year every second person will suffer from one or both.
 Twenty-three million colds? I don't suppose any one has the faintest idea the loss is really enormous; and, con sidering how bitterly we complain when penny is added to the rates or the income tax, 1t seems surprisingly stupid to go on getting colds every time that March comes around.
 The loss for each individual, of course, varies with his earning power and the seriousness of his cold If a clerk with weekly salary of S1O IS away from work one day, and has his efficiency lowered ten~' per cent. for three days more, the cost of his cold on this account is a little less than $2.50. But in the case of a cabinet minister confined to his room for two days, and doing reduced work two days more, we may put down the loss at about $200.
 We have, however, some ascertained facts concerning colds which enable us to strike an average cost victim, and to fix the entire loss within mil lion dollars or so.
 It has been calculated that eighty in each 100 colds are colds in the head, and not very serious; twenty in each 100 attack the throat or chest, and often the head also. Two in 1000 lead to bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy or some other serious disease; one in l. 900 results in death, or considerable shortening of life.
 Taking. all those which begin and end as colds, the average duration is between three and four days. Som e people may throw off cold quickly, but it hangs about others for two or three weeks.
 Absence from work is said to aver age half a, day-that is, taking account of those who remain away some days or weeks with a bad cold or bronchf- tfs, as well as those who do not stay

ton of the members of the school board and tentative plans for a new Broom school building to be erected in the center upon a site not yet cho- sen are being prepared. The matter was talked over at a meeting of the board Tuesday evening, and a special meeting will be called in a few days to take further action. It is believed that building such as planned can be erected for about $60 900 and that it will accommodate practically all of the pupils in the center of the town. The matter of an appropriation will have to go before the voters of the town and when the plans are decided asked to appropriate the necessary funds.
