Gfk, but It IS SaId the JOSS IS Iuiiy
 covered by insurance.
 Carl Andrews. of Potter Hill, is un- .der bonds of $10o0 for trial in the
 Third district court next Friday,
 charged with the reckless driving of
 an automobile, in being in collision
 with the automobile of Leonard R.
 Maine, of North Stonington, and not
 returning to the location of the acci-
 dent Andrews pleaded not guilty,
 when arraigned befores jslLge Will- jams in the Third distriet court. The
 automobiles were solIlg ilizk opposite
 directions on the Fieasant View road
 and Main claims tllat 2t -ns on the
 right side of the 4rea1 ahd was forced
 off the road by the sAnGfeNsq car that
 was to the left of the cenfer of the
 road and the autos casneM oðer with
 great force. Ardrews eiNiIps that he
 was not wholly at fault for the col
 lision Both cars are of a small type. The Main car forward axle
 was bent. 6 brace rod was forced
 through the flooring Of the forward and a rear tire wos torn from the drows ear was bent but did not prevent thelcar from continuing on to Westerly.
 While driving to market in Wester ly with a load of poultry in the early evening, Courtland Chase. of the Post road was seriously injured when near the Whipple farm. his wagon having been struck by the QuQnocontaug automobile truck owned by Otis Brown. Both vehicles were proceed. ing in the same direction when, with out the slightest warning. the auto mobile crashed into the wagon, which was wrecked. MT Chase was thrown out and the horse ran away, unin- jured. The driver of the autotruck went to- the assistance of MT. Chase who was lying on the ground un- consciou.5 He was about to take the in njured man to Westerly for medical aid when Frederick Parks, driver of a public auto happened along and brought sMr. Chase to the office of Dr.. c. Grant Savage.
 MT Chase. who is over sixty, had 8 cut across the forehead, just above the tight eve his nose is broken, his right shoulder and arm are severely bruised. his right leg, is injured, and he sustained many other severe cuts and bruises. His condition is serious. Mir. Chae was in q very weak condi-s ton and suffered much pain. Owing to his enfeebled condition he was takez to the residence of his daugf- ter. Mrs. Courtland NJ. Chase in Main street. instead of to his own home on tho Post road
 The only excuse given by the driver 'of the truck is that he did not see AIT. Cha se;S wagon until it was too late to avert the collision. although he says the headlights were burning and he ought to ae>able to see quite a distance ahead. It is claimed the atmosphere Twas somewhat hazy at the time of the mishap and that in consequence. the penetration of the headlights was not faiSreaching. Claim is also made that the Chase vehicle was lighted as required by the new law which came into effect a couple of weeks ago. the mishap might have been averted. There has been no protense4 of enforcement of that law in the town of Westerly,
 or, so far as known, any place in the state. The mishap is receiving public mNestigation 4

Miss Mary Hawkins, 40, daughter
 of Rev. Joel Hawkins, former pastor of Grace Methodist church, w esterIy.
 was killed Sunday afternoon in an au- tomobile accident at Norton's crossing near Taunton. Her father is now lo- cated in East Providence. Miss flaw
 kins had suffered mental trouble and
 for fourteen years boarded with the Leonard family whose home is several
 miles from the centre of the city of
 Taunton. She was in an automobile
 owned and driven by Lloyd c. Leon
 ard. aged P. and Mrs Catherine Leon ard. aged T, their grandmother. All
 were killed except the younger Mrs. Leonard. who is seriously injured but
 will probably recover.
 The automobile crashed into. a fast
 moving freight train at the crossing and the occupants were crushed and
 mangled in the wreckage. except Mrs Leonard, who is suffering from exter nal injury and shock
 The party was returning from Nor
 ton to their home. some two miles be- yond the railroad crossing. No flag
 man IS stationed there, but there is an
 automatic gong to warn of the ap-
 proach of train. That Mir. Leonard heard the gong and saw the train is evident. from the wrecked sauton1ohile which showed the brakes set and tbe tire track in the road showed that ef-
 Tort was made to stop. All Mr. Leonard was able to do was to swing the car somewhat to the right and the alI tomoo1ie struck the train between the locomotive and tender The autono- bile was not seen by the engineman or fireman until too late to prevent the collision. '--S

WARNING AGAINST DANGEROUS PRESERVING POWDERS AND CANNING COMPOUNDS USED BY THE HOUSEWIFE.

Washington, May 1.-The attention of the Department of Agriculture has recently been called to the widespread use, especially in rural communities, r of sa1icy1ic acid in putting up pre- serves. The head of a large drug and chemical supply house states that peo- pie living in southwest Virginia, North and South Carolina, Kentucky Ten nessee' and western Georgia. have been purchasing salicylic acid in one-quar- ter pound packages for a number of years and that this practice has grown l to an enormous extent. This dealer states further that only a few weeks ago he received an order from one
 wholesale grocer for fifty gross of these goods. 1asH The Department is aware that this
 practice is not confined to salfcy1ic acid under it's own name alone. but that large quantities of. this acid, and Iof boric acid as well. are sold under tfancifu1 names as preserving powders l or canning compounds at prices which are much in excess of their real value,
 In the directions for use, the house. wife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water
 It is true that these powders may pre- vent the decay of the fruit or ,vegeta- ble. but they also encourage unclean- I ly or careless work. and their excess I I've use may De dtIenOed W1Jn very serious effects upon the health, Salicy- 1 lie acid is a medicine of the greatest value in acute articular rheumatism and certain other diseases. It is well known as a poisonous substance, and one Of the evils which may accompany its use is derangement of the diges- ton It is, therefore, plain that its
 extensive use in food may lead to
 disturbance of digestion and health. I It is entirely practicable to put up both fruits and vegetables in such 8
 manner that they will keep indefinitely l by steri1izing the products by means lof heat, and there Is no excuse for I running any risk by the using of l preserving powders. The department Isof Agriculture has issued the follow l ing Farmers Bulletins on canning and preserving:
 IF. B. 2os Canned Fruit, Preserves and Jellies.
 F. 3. s5s Canning Vegetables in the Home.
 F. B. 521 Canning Tomatoes at Home and in Club Work.
 These bulletins, which may be ob-
 tafned without cost by applying to the l Division of Publications of the Depart
 ment. give exact directions for canning and preserving foods without the use Of preserving powders or canning icompounds.
