 One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at fifty.

FAIRFIELD
Especial to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, Oct. 7-The annual town meeting was held at the Town hall yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large number. The most inn portant matter discussed was the rais ing of the salaries of the selectmen, the board of assessors and the board of relief. It was voted to raise the salary of the first seIectman from S3 a day to $1,OO0 a year. The salary of the members of the board of assessors will be raised from $2 to $3 day while the mem bers of the board of re- lief also be raised from $2 to $3 a day. The Stratield Village Improve ment association asked for the use of Sherman school to hold meetings in. This matter was turned over to the school committee.
 The next matter taken up was the buying of land at Hopkins corner 50 as to widen the street at this place. The selectmen did not have the i'm formation they desired and the mat ter was laid on the table. The mat ter of getting money to build a bridge across Pine creek was also laid on the table until the next meeting.
 An attempt was made to have the town accept a piece of road from Greenwood avenue to State street. Much talk was raised on this subject and the selected men were ordered to
 
 roadway warning persons that they used the road at their own risk. The road has been in poor condition for the past few years and very little money has been spent on the repair ing of the same.
 The last motion made was, to allow the town clerk $5 a week more for the running of his office. This mo- ton was seconded and carried. All bills for the past year was accepted and ordered paid.
 Mike Leive was arrested at his home on Castle avenue last evening by Policeman Hedberg. When ar rested he had several sticks of dyna- mite in his pocket and stated that he wished to blow up his home. He was taken to Lakeview home in Bridge port where he will be kept until it is found out if he is insane. It was stated that he had been beating his wife and small children for the past few days. The wife bore marks where Leive had beat her.
 The whistle on the Rubber Works started blowing at 2 o'clock this morning and could not be stopped for some time. The fire department re- sponded and after arriving at the fac tory it was found that the gas jet on the valve had been broken.

 HEALTH REPORT
 Dr. G. F. Lewis, the local health officer in his annual report speaks of the ntagious diseases in the town during the last year as follows:
 Scarlet fever 24 cases.
 Diphtheria. cases. .:.
 Measles 2 cases. &z4a
 Whooping cough 5 cases.
 Typhoid fever ' eases.
 Tuberculosis cases.
 The Scarlet fever was scattered through eight months, and consisted of isolated cases for the most part.
 In few families all the other chil- dren contracted it from the first case, which shows lack of care on the part of the parents.
 The Typhoid fever was scattered through four months, and could not be traced to any source of contagion in the town.
 Fifteen complaints of nuisances were received, almost all Of them pertain ing to sewage and an attempt was made to abate them.
 Without sewers some of them can not be entirely abated. I recommend to the new town government, that they at once devise a sewer system for those sections of the town where con ditions are such that cesspools are inn possible such as the center of tn e town near Tanners brook, and the To- cations of our factories in the wes- tern spart of the town.
 I have made six collections Of milk and sent to the State Laboratory for analysis The reports show that our milk dealers have improved the milk supply and are using every effort to furnish the town with pure milk.
 The schoolhouses are in good con- dition with the exception of the port able building on Surf avenue.
 I recommend that the Board of Ed ucation provide a suitable school h,1i1dinp. in the place of this structure as soon as possible.
 In other respects the conditions in the town are sanitary.

an event Of magnitude.

cabinet, and first as we'll in the hearts
OF so many Of the countrymen, was
most c~onspicuously in the post pradial
feIicities.
Mr.. Bryan was complimentary in
the highest degree in his references to
Mr. Grove and to Mr.. Seely nor was
he less happy in the tribute which he
laid to Asheville scenically. Others
TO make formal talks were Mr.. Grove
Mr.. Seely, Senator Luke Lea and
Mayor Rankin.
Grape Juice Flowed Like Water.
Mr. Grove was alluded to not only
as a most progressive citizen in a
progressive age but as a sort of pub
lie benefactor because the Grove en-
terprises here were % inaugurated
primarily for private gain.
1t goes without saying that the in
evitabIe grape juice, the new national
drink, flowed like water, the glasses
being emptied with the greatest pos
alble enthusiasm.
More than 400 covers were laid and
the occasion was a formal one, every
guest having worn the conventional
evening dress suit.

Nobody seems to have had time yet
to hgne up what Grove Park Inn has
cost F. L. Seely, whose working day
for many months has been from early
morn till early next morn, says that

The kitchen chimney, built Of bouId-
