Norwalk. May 22. Coroner John J. Phelan of Bridgeport, who was here yesterday afternoon Investigating the Washington street bridge fatality, am nounced today that he would be here again tomorrow afternoon to complete the examination of witnesses.
 It appears practically impossible to place the responsibility for the disas- ter. as every witness examined thus far has testified that the cofferdam was properly constructed and eNery precaution known was taken to make it absolutely safe
 Robert c. Dewar, one of the two men killed, had complete charge of the work and had remarked several times previous to the collapse that the caisson was in fine condition and perfectly safe.
 Rev. John Stapleton conducted fu- neral services for Dewar this morn ing in the South NorwaIk Congrega- tional church and the bodv was af- terward sent to the victims honne town, East Orange N j.

The mother should be absolutely
certain that her baby's sight and hear

hearing defective, she should consult
a specialist at once. 1t Is not natural
for a baby to suffer with ear-ache. Do
not use laudanum to relieve ear-ache.
Have your doctor learn the cause Of
the pain and remove it.

seems to choke and sputter when
nursing may be suffering from this
dangerous growth. The ony cure for,
adenoids is their complete removal.
This can be done any time after the
baby passes it's third month.
Next to adenoids as menace to the
baby's health come enlarged tonsils.
We all know how certain children are
subject to sore threats with high tenn
perature, followed by extreme lassi-
tude and debility. This is tonsillitus,
caused ninety-nine causes out of
hundred by enlarged tonsils. These
can be operated on without any dan
ger to the small patient, with little
pain and comparatively small cost.
Enlarged tonsils form fine lodging

diphtheria.
