Pope PIUS TAKES
IMPORTANT STEP
Admits Futility of Hoping
to Regain Temporal
Possessions.
STILL MAKES CLAIM.
But Willing to Accept Conditions Inn
posed Over Forty Years Ago When
Deprived of Power.

Rome, Feb. 3.-Pope Plus has Jnst
surprised the world by what is con-
ceGed to be the most important step
of his pontifcate. This is nothing
less than the admission that the Vat
ican is now willing to accept the con-
Gition imposed upon it forty years
ago. when Italy deprived it of its
temporal power by the confscatlon OF
Rome and the Papal states. The
Vatican does not renounce its claim
to temporal power; it admits only
the futility of hoping to regain It,
but this admission is sufficient to
permit the establishment Of peace
between the Quirina! and Vatican{
That such peace will be brought
about is now certainty.
Cne of the most conspicuous things
that will be gained by a settlement
:of "the Roman question" will be the
ending of the self-imposed irnprison-
ment of the pontiffs. For forty years
no Pope has ever been known to
leave the walls of the Vatican. With
tine final fall of Rome into the hands
Of the new kingdom of Italy, Pope
Plus IX, the then religning pontitf
shut himself up in the Vatican. He
declared himself a prisoner there at
the hands Of the Italians, who,- he
:aid, robbed him IF his temporal
power and Of his means for protect
ing his person should he ever issue
forth.
Pope Leo XIII, his immediate sue
cessor, continued this tradition. No
one, however, has ever believed that
the present Pope was in full sympa-
thy with it. and now this belief has
been justifid
At the national congress of Catho-
lies held at Milan in honor Of the
close of the Constaine year, in De-
cembcr, Archbishop Rossi, Of Udine,
& close personal friend of Pope Plus,
in the opening address to the con-
gress, made known the future attl-
tude of the Vatican.
He announced that society is now
organized on such basis that an
Independent political state such as
had been conferred on the Popes by
Constantine, was no longer necessary
to insure spiritual independence Of
the Pope. This independence he ad
mitted could now be secured by othel
means which would be just as etfec
tive.
There was no surprise here toda,
at the complete refutation by th'
Vatican of the newspaper story tha
Pope Plus saw the tago danced L
his private apartments, saw nothing
wrong with it, and recommended tn
Venetian furlana to tangoers.

surd that it does not need denial,

The statement continues:

C0URTADE FAILS TO CLEAN SN0W
 FROM STREETS
Trucknen Have Much Un- favorable Criticism for Di->
 rector of Public Works j

Truckmen who have occasion to use Water street were complaining bitter ly today because Director of Public Works Courtade had failed to clear that thoro1ghfare of snow until late yesterday. Failure of the director to clear streets in the center of the city of snow. came in for a good deal of unfavorab1e comparison with the work of former Superintendent of Streets Fred Shrieber.
 Truckmen today were pointing to the fact that Water street which is most used by heavily loaded trucks of any thoroughfare, had not been cleared of snow for more than 24 hours after the storm. 6Hratford ave nue was also blocked by drifts and up to yesterday morning the men work ing for Director Courtade made little progress west Of Broad street on Stete street. s
 The light snow of yesterday ser iously interrupted the service of the Connecticut Go. on all it's city and suburban lines. All cars were from twenty minutes to more than an hour behind regular schedules. On the railroad, too, all trains were late. Be- ginning with the trains yesterday morning all were. behind time. The Adams Express train due here at 2:30 a. m. did not arrive until 10-15 a.. n. All passenger trains were from 15 minutes to three-quarters of an hour behind time.

 Troupe, who are appearing in the headline position at the Plaza the first half of the week, were billed and they lived up to all that the. state
 meny implies They are without
 question, the most talented aggrega-
 tion of artists that ever held the boards of a local vaudeville theater,
 for their talent is not centered in any
 one speciality. They are musicians
 of sterling ability and z as, jugglers
 they have no peers. Their dance
 number at the opening of the act was
 very pleasing, and the many novelties
 that are worked in throughout the en-

 young and talented singing comedian,
 who for several years has appeared with Jesse =Laskey,s, biggest produc- tions, is taking his share of the good wishes of the audience at every per- fornance. The Two Roeders in a gymnastic exhibition, are receiving rounds of applause.

BOARD OF HEALTH
 URGES USE OF PASTEURlZED MILK
State Experts Declare It To Be Only Absolutely Safe
 Form of Fluid.

Hartford, Feb. 1.-The value to pub lie health of milk pasteurization is dis
 cussed in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health for January, is sued yesterday. It says:
 tsAIl over the country there is to- day a rapid extension of the practice of
 pasteurizing milk. Some of the larger cities New York and Chicago have passed statutes requiring the pasteur- ization of all milk except that from
 tuberculin-tested cattle. This grow ing demand for pasteurization comes from the increasing realization of the fact that milk is a medium for dis
 trtbuting tuberculosis. typhoid, diph- theria, scarlet fever. septic sore throat and intestinal trouble, the past 10 years having shown hundreds of seri- ous epfdemics traced to the milk sup
 ply.
 Moreover. it has been realized also that no safeguards placed around milk at it's sources can wholly remove these dangers; for occasionally such epi- demics have been traced even to cer- titled milk which has been produced under as good conditions as it is pos sfble to devise. 4he typhoid bacillus carrier may at any time unconscious | ly be employed in a dairy and be the means of a typhoid epidemic among the patrons of the dairy.
 .eThe impossibi1ity of sufficiently guarding milk at its source has led health authorities to urge pasteuriza- l tion as the only means of protecting the public from these Considerable
 dangers.
 This is urged the more confidently
 because by the American method o1 Ipasteurizing the milk may be rendered
 safe without changing it's physical or chemical character or it's digestibility.
 As carried out in Europe. pasteuriza- ton slightly inJures the taste and the
 food value of the milk but a higher l temperature is used there than on ] this side Of the Atlantic.
 ] s.The American method of pasteur- lization consists in heating the milk I to 40 to 145 degrees and maintaining tthat temperature for half an hour lSuch treatment does not affect the 1 taste, the cream line or the digestibil- lity of the milk; but it does destroy all the disease germs that get into the
 milk and render 1t safe even for use as food by the delicate infant.
 Public pasteurization or home pas Iteurization are equally efficient if per l formed with care. The only perfect 1 ly. safe milk for drinking purposes Is
 that which has been pasteurized."

in the United States and the deadly germs claim more victims in cities than in rural districts, due no doubt to the increased number of indoor workers in confring quarters and their lack of sunshine.
 Tubercular germs always attack when the system is weakened from colds or sickness, overwork, overstrain, con6ning duties or any drain which has reduced the resistive forces of the body. But nature always provides a corrector and the best physicians emphasize that during chang ing climate our blood should be kept rich and pure and active by taking Scott g Emulsion after meals; the cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the body by en- riching the b1ood-it peculiarly strength ems the lungs and upbui1ds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds aud prevent consumption.

.N IL A the railway station at Upper
 Asquewan Falls, N. Y.
 A beautiful young woman? That is exactly what Billy Magee wanted to know as, closing the waiting room door behind him, he stood staring just Inside Were the features against which that frai1 bit of canabric was RgonizingIy 2ressed of pleasing con tour2 The girls neatly tailored corclu- roy suit and her hippant but charming millinery augured well. Should he step gallantly forward and inquire in sympathetic tones as to the cause of her woe7 Should he carry chivalry even to the lengths of Upper Asque- wan Falls?
 No; Mir. Magee decided he would not The train that had just roared away into the dusk had not brought him from the region of slzyscrapers and derby hats for deeds Of knight errant- " up state. Anyhow the girls tears were none of his bfsiness. A railway station was a natural place for grief field of many partings, upoh whose floor fell often in torrents the tears of those left behind.

 And yet dim and heartless and cold was the interior of that waiting room No place sdrely for gentleman to leave lady sorrowful, particularly when the lady was so al1uring. Oh, beyond question she was most aIlur- Ing. MT. Magee stepped softly to the ticket window and made low voiced inquiry of the man inside.
