He signed papers in the transaction and he claims he after wards found these were warranty deeds to his daughter;-drs. Williams. He claims these were obtained by fraud. as he cannot read, and supposed he was merely signing the agreement which he intended to make.
 It iss the aim of the defense to show that he was desirous of fixing the property so that neither his wife nor her children should be able to get any of it at his death. as he and hls Wlie at that time had separated. For thTs reason the defense claims that ne made the transfers of the property The plaintiff is suing now to secure court order to have Mrs Wilnalns transfer the property back to him ana for an iu1unction to restrain her from deeding it to anyone else.

The witness also tes- tified to seeing the papers signed at a later visit.
 On cross examination the wstness O rPcOlioctJOnS of any cautionary advice about an absolute deed given by the attorney to Mir. Gladue, but the witness could not remember any such advice given, except as to a small piece of land which MT. Brown advised him to keep, so that he could say he owned, some real estate.
 Mir Williams said that Mir Gladue stated he wanted to fix the property so that neither his wife nor her chill dren would get any of the property, but he wanted to give it all to his daughter, and the paper was drawn up that way by the attorney and read to MT.

 Clean-Up Campaigns.

Dr. J. H. Townsend, secretary or the state board of health. comes to the aid of all cities that are contem plating a cleanup campaign, Norwich fnclud- ed in his monthly bulletin just issued.

 The springtime is here. the season when the rubbish heap, the manure pile and other filthy accumulations of the winter should go. If you wish to make a real contribution to the com you. should clean up your premises and induce your neighbor to do the same.
 In a number of cities of the state # has come to be the custom to desig- nate a certain day as clean-up day and all people. particularly the chill dren. are urged to remove the rubb1sh from their back yards and the vacant lots in their neighborhood. The muv nicipality usually provides the teams for transporting the rubbish so col lected to the public dump. This is an excellent practice and should be ex- tended.
 Aecumulations of rubbish are not only unsightly but are also unhealthy, !nasmuch as they often serve as breed ing places for flies and other insects, and the time to begln Warfafe against these pests is in the spring. when breeding begins from the few insects or eggs that have survived the winter.
 Files breed by preference in horse manure. but will also breed in any fer menting organic matter. The female lays about 15o eggs. which are hatch ed in eight hours time. They then pass through the stages of maggot and pupae and become adult flies in about ten days. ready to breed again. so that it can be readily seen how rapidly they multiply As carriers of conta-
