CAUTION IS URGED
 ABOUT SOFT DRINKS.
Secretary Townsend Finds Careless
 ness About Serving Summer 5ever- ases-Free Antitoxin Almost Gone.

A caution to health officers to ex- ercise care in the use of the supply of antitoxins for free distribution be- cause the appropriation is about ex- hausted is given by Secretary J. E. Townsend of the state board of health in the June Bulletin. After the supply is gone focal authorities will have to make provision to supply the needy il. their towns. Officers having a surplus supply are requested to return the same to the secretary.
 Physicians are also asked to report promptly all cases of typhoid fever as well as other reportable diseases. One or two cases may not signify much to a physician, but reports of half a dozer. or eight cases from half dozen physi- clans may mean to the health depart . ment a serious outbreak of typhoid fever and will start an inquiry. The vital statistics of greatest consequence are not the number of deaths or births but rather the number of cases of sick ness from transmissible diseases.
 As to Soft Drinks.
 Dr. Townsend repeats in his bulletin the words of caution of Dr. Wright ot New Haven on the use of soft drinks Many times these popular drinks are served at public counters in a slack way. Many of the finest fitted places are careless about washing glasses and other utensils used for mixing and serving drinks, and the water used for this purpose is often very dirty and seldom changed" said Dr. Wright, wh advised the public to inform them selves as to how and by whom bottled goods are prepared and how soda water is served at public counters:

NORWICH AUTOMOBILE
 WENT DOWN EMsANkMENT.
Accident Without Serious consequenc- es Happened Near Groton Long Point.

Near Groton Long Point about mid night Monday a large automobile in an attempt to cross the tracks at the point, went off a steep bank landing IA feet below in a pocket made by the corner of two fences. The car was not badly damaged. The occupants, a man and woman, reached a telephone and calling a garage secured a car to take them to their home in Norwich. Evidently good time had been thus put an end to as the remains of a lunch and several bottles were found near the spot which were though to have been left from the general mix up.
 The car was left as nothing could be done towards it's removal and the better part of the day Tuesday was spent in working on it. Those who saw it condition and the dangerous fall say it was wonderful that the ma chine and occupants were not left an unrecognizable mass
 The touring car bore the number 117L which is that of a garage on Thames square.

The amount of interest that Is man ifested by the large attendances at all the playgrounds since their opening led the directors of the Norwich Play grounds association at a meeting Wed- ,nesday afternoon to formulate plans for increased efficiency in the work, and particularly steps looking toward a standardization of the various grounds. Lake street, the largest of the six playgrounds that are open this year. and the one that draws the greatest number of children, especial ly the older ones. and Pearl street, the next largest. are the two places on which attention is to be concentrated and which are to be brought up, as far as expedient, to a common standard. To this end two teachers are to be placed in charge at Lake street, and these are Miss O'Connell and Miss Loudon, together with Horace Coyl, who is in charge of the boys there. New settees are to be placed there, and as the place has little shade the erec- ton of shelter from the sun Is also contemplated. In addition. if it is pos sible, a little later a wading pool win be provided there for the enjoyment of the small children.
 With an eye to the future develop ment of the Lake street grounds. the directors of the association have i1 mind the setting out of shade trees there, this as we'll as other improve ments all being steps in bringing the place up to standard ground. At the present time, through Alderman M. H Hourigan of the committee on streets
 the help of the city's men in fixing up the grounds is being received. Some equipment that was left over from last year. is in use
 At the Pearl street grounds like wise there is a growing need for two teachers, and so next week there will be another young Iadv there to assist Miss Reynolds. The idea of bringing the grounds up to a definite standard beginning with the larger ones, is one of the ideas brought forth by Francis R. North. the secretary of the Nation al Fairgrounds association, during his

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Lucy Griffin Leavens

About o'clock Wednesday morn- ing Miss Lucy Griffin Leavens passed away at her home, 172 Broadway. while she lay sleeping. Miss Leavens com plained of feeling i'll on Tuesday af- ternoon and was attended by her phy- sician, but her illness was not thought serious and caused no alarm. She was found dead when members of the household went to her room.
 Miss Leavens was the daughter o2 the late Jedediahs and Frances J. Leavens and was born :n the house in which she died on March 26, 1843. She is survived by a brother, Francis J. I>eaFens, three nieces, Miss Sarah H. Leavens, Miss Faith R. Leavens an l Miss Della D. Leavens. and one neph- CIV, Dickson H. Leayens.
 Miss beavenS was a woman of Ster-
 ling character and possessed a bright and cheerful nature. For the past 55 years Miss Leavens was a member of the Broadway Congregational church and for many years was a teacher of the children's class and other classes in the church Sunday school. Miss Leavens was also deeply interested in the United Workers and for a long time was actively identified with that organization as a member of various committees. Missionary and charita- ble work engaged much of her atten- tion and her services endeared her to many. She was of a sympathetic na- ture and by her engaging personality made many warm friends. Besides her
 surviving relatives she is mourned by a very wide circle of acquaintances. Charles R. Maynard
 News was received by Gales Ferry relatives this week of the death of Charles R. Maynard of Red Wing
