Oxygen For Insanity.

A new and extraordinary use for oxygen has just been found by pr. Toulouse, chief physician of the Vile juif Insane Asylum. He finds 1t a most valuable aid in the treatment of mad ness.
 Dr. Toulouse makes certain that the oxygen in the steel cylinders in which he receives it is pure and free from nitrogen; then he fills small glass fiasks with it. A rubber bulb enables him to regulate the pressure in the fiasks, and a rubber tube connects these with a fine hypodermic needle. Through this 250 cubic centimetres of oxygen are injected under the skin.
 physician who has watched the operation and its effects upon patients says the results are remarkable among patients in a condition of acute mental confusion, who are always greatly inn proved and often cured entirely by q few injections The excited and vic tims of insomnia become calm and lucid.
 In the case of acute mania, demen- tia,, epileptic fits and certain cases of melancholia good results have been obtained. The oxygen treatment is now being tried upon other forms of insanity-Sunday Times of South Africa.

GOING TO HEADQUARTERS

When Jack was called Jackie" and was looking for his first job as office boy he absolutely refused to see any body except the president of the conn pany. He politely declined the l'cof- fered service of the stenographer ard then of the office manager. When he saw the president come out he walk ed up to him. So Jackie got the job
 Naturally. as he became oider' ne grew into the rule of never seeing any one but the highest in authority He said it was a good rule, and ne usually got what he wanted.
 When the telephone was out of order, instead of arguing with the operators he wrote the president
 When he wanted to purchase half dozen shirts or a dozen handkerchiefs or a new rug for his room he wrote the head buyer of the particular de- partment and made an appointment.
 By this audacious method Jack went serenely through life and never real ized that there was anything worth while below the calm and quiet sur face of high authority where he dweIt.
 All this was before he met Katie
 There was something about Katie that puzzled him as well as charmed him. Katie looked for bargains. and said that she'd infinitely rather be in the hubbub of a sale than CloSeted with the general manager, beca ise she had so much more time to pick and choose.
 Although Katie didn't like serenity a bit, somehow Jack appealed to her. Perhaps this was because the young mans views were so entirely novel
 At any rate, it wasn't very long be- fore Jack decided that he'd like to see her a great deal Oftener than present circumstances permitted he'd like it to be every day, in fact. And Katie, when he preached the subject. rather shyly and demursly told him he'd better go to headquart- CTS.
 So Jack sat down to write an ex- planatory letter to her father. It was a very long letter. telling of his pros cult communication to write. Jack was tired when he had finished it. With an anxious heart he carried it over to Katie in order that she might read it and mail it herself
 "Oh, but Katie's tone was tragic ally soft as she spoke. T haven any"
 I'm so sorry" said Jack, in agony. because he had hurt her. He felt that he would better write her moth CT, then. So he carried his letter home and rewrote it. making it more personal and not so businesslike- Such a letter as a mother would be pleased with. he felt.
 Then he went back to Katie

His stock was a very valuable one and he conducted a business that was very profitable MT. Wheatley became wealthy before he disposed of his busi- ness a few years after he moved to Danielson. in 1895.
 In that year MT. Wheatley acquired a site and constructed on Broad street here one of the most beautiful homes in the borough. He soon came to take an active part in important borough affairs and during the past few years the citizens came to know how valu- able a citizen he was and to what portant projects for the public good with his time and money As the years have gone by he has proved to be a real public benefactor of Daniel son.
 MT. Wheatley was of colonial stock, the first of the name in this state being James Wheatley, who settled at Wethersfield in 163S. MT. Wheatley was the son of Joseph and Maria CAL bertus) WheatIey of Norwich, which was his mothers native city.
 Mir. Wheatley was first married March 20. 1860. to Miss Lydia Pray. of East Killingly. and of this union
 
 during the early years of his manhood was associated in business with his father in Wauregan. afterwards con ducted the store, and now makes his home here. Mrs. Wheatley died Jan uary 1st. 1905.
 Mir. Wheatley was again married in 1900 to Mrs. Lucia Miller, of Milford, Mass. by ywhom he is survived.
 MT. Wheatley was a prominent mem Der of fraternal organizations having been identified at the time of his death or at times during his life with the Masonic societies, the Odd Eel lows, A. O.

 Mir. Wheatley was one of the own CTS of the Connecticut Mills property and of other mill property on School street and holder of much other real estate in Danielson and Wauregan. He was very much interested in the de- Nelopment of Danielson and was aI- ways one of the foremost and most liberal in aiding the promotion of pub lie enterprises.
 Charles B. Wheatley was born in Norwich, Conn, Dec. 22, 1885, and re- ceived his education in his native city. When he was 21 he entered the paint ing business, in which he continued until February, 1859, in Norwich. That year he removed to Wauregan. where he followed his trade and, in April 1881, he enlisted in Company B, Sec ond Connecticut Volunteer infantry, and participated in the battle of Bull Run, being discharged in August, 1S6K This enlistment was under the first call for troops for three months ser vice. He was the first man to enlist in this section. Early in the war he was elected captain of Company B, sth Connecticut volunteers, and though he drilled the company at Hartford and prepared 1t for the front, circumstan- oes prevented his going to the seat of war with the command.
 MT. Wheatley returned to Wauregan and in the spring of 1882 opened a boot and shoe store in that village. To this he added at different periods groceries. clothing, hats. caps. mil-

 Botanists Find Purple Loosestrife.
 Purple loosestrife, Lythrum Sah- caria) has been discovered on the point below the ruin of the old mill. It's handsome blossoms are one of the most conspicuous of tie mid summer flowers and local flower lovers have made diligent search for it in this section for years but have never found it. mile north of Danielson on the east side of the railroad track there is low meadow bordering a small stream that is just a purple glow with tHis beautiful plant there is more than solid acre. A party went from here in July, 1912, to see and study it. The stream upon whose border it grows in such profusion in Danielson flows into the Quinebaug, it is the opinion locally that the seeds came down the river and were thrown into the eddy where it was found Monday. There are seven big Lunches now, in three years the whole point will be beau- tiful sight. It came from England. The botany locates it anywhere from Nova Scotia to Delaware It may be seen in the perfection of its beauty at ,Danielson. The credit for it's discovery here goes to Miss s. K. Adams.

President Van Hise. Indeed it is be-

Of the large organizations fall short OF

Not only do hold that not all large

IF we retain freedom of competi.
ton, permit concentration sufficient to
give efficiency, allow reasonable CO.
operation, and prevent monopoly, this
will require regulation just as it has
been necessary to regulate the rail-
roads. This done, the Sherman law
will be forgotten. Has there been any
prosecution of the railroads for viola
tion of the Sherman law because OF
collusion in fixing rates? And yet
everyone of us here knows that they
are just as flagrant volators of the
Sherman act act as any other class of
corporations in the United States. Are
the freight rates the same for differ

Are the passenger rates between New

dustrlaI problems.

The most fundamental difference
between the United States Steel cor
poration, the Standard Oil company,
and other very large businesses and
the public utilities is that one class
has been declared to be vested with
public interest and the other has
not. Every business that is so large
as to be vested with the public inter-
est should be subject to control. No
only so, but wherever different com
panies or groups of companies coop
crate so that they control the market
for an article, their transactions be-
come vested with a public interest.
"An interstate trade commission
should be created for interstate com
merce and state trade commissions for
state commerce. each to have control
over business which is vested with d
public interest or in which the market
is controlled, precisely as the public
utilities commissions have control
over public utilities. 1t is to be noted
that this proposal does not imply that
the administration commissions shall
have control of all business, but only
business which, because of magnitude,
or because of cooperation, became
vested with public interest. The ini-
tiatiye in control of business will re-
main with the business organizations
precisely the same as at present; but
whenever an organization performs any
act, which, in the opinion of the ap-
propriate commission under the pow
ers granted is contrary to the public
interest, that body may intervene My
proposal is that the restraint of trade,
either by combination or contract, and
cooperation in limitation of output,
division of territory, or fixing OF
prices, be prohibited so far as they are
inimical. to the welfare of the public.
Not only so, but it may be- wise to
make a presumption that actions of
corporations along the above line are
inimical to the welfare of the public
until approved by the commission.
But when any act OF cooperation has
been approved by the commission it
should be free from attack. BY this
simple expedient the situation becomes
cleared. Cooperation for all classes
OF business would be allowed to con
tinue, so far as it was not inimical to
the public welfare"
