SEC'Y REDfIELDS ANNUAL REPORT
Urges Legislation Protect the Industrial and Commercial
Markets of the United States from Destructive Type
of Struggle and Unfair Competition the Close of the
European War.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Legislation to
protect the industrial and commercial
markets of the United States from a
destructive type of struggle and I'M
fair competition" at the close of the
European war, is recommended to con-

his annual report. Every Stratagem
of industrial war, he says, will be used
by powerful foreign agencies against
American industries which may
menace large markets heretofore con-

To prevent unfair competition" the
secretary suggested that the machin-

PROVIDE MEDICAL INSPECTION
OR STAND LITIGATION
School Board Believes Norwich Has
These Two Alternatives.

A petition signed by the members
of the town school committee and
about 20 other citizens has been pre-
pared and is to be offered to the Sc
lectmen asking them to call a special
town meeting to take up again the
matter of the medical inspection in the
schools on which the committee has
been limited to an expenditure of 500
by the vote of a previous town meet
ing.
The petition states that the commit
tee has found it impossible to secure
a medical inspector for the amount at
their disposal and that the town must
provide medical inspection or stand
litigation.
The petition reads as follows:
Norwich, Conn, Dec. 16, 1915
To the Selectmen of the Town of Nor
witch. Conn.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned.
residents and electors of the town of
Norwich, hereby request that a spe-
cial town meeting be called for by
you for the purpose of hearing and
acting upon certain recommendations
of the town school committee relative
to medical inspection in the schools
Oh the town and for the purpose OF
approprlatlng a sufficient sum of
money to meet the expenses of such
medical inspection, also for any other
business which may properly be
brought before said meeting under
such recommendation.
The members of the school COM
mittee have made fruitIess efforts to
secure a medical inspector for the
town schools for the 500 appropri-
ated at the annual town meeting and
have made a careful study of the sit
uation and are ready to report their
Investigations to the citizens of the
town. Of all the towns in the state
Whlch must meet the obligations of
the statutes Norwich is the only one.
IT is stated, that has not complied.
The committee has been in communi-
cation upon the subject with the state
secretary of the board of education
and the comptroller and feels that the
town must make a suitable appropri-
alton to cover the expense of medical
inspection or stand litigation

CLAIMS $4,000 FROM
HIS. FATHERS ESTATE
j. Milton Keeney Brings Suit Against
Executors.

]. Milton Keeney of New York
brings suit against P. Leroy Harwood
of New London and Elizabeth P.
Keeney of Waterford for payment of
services rendered in taking care of
property in New York owned by his
father, the late Burtus NJ. Keeney of
Waterford of whose estate the de-
PENDANTS are executors and also to
recover payment for jewelry which the
plaintiff alleges he entrusted to his
father. The plaintiff sues for S. 900.
The plaintiff alleges that at the re-
quest of his father for several years
before his death he collected rents,
cared for property in New York and
procured tenants, arranged for max
ing repairs and generally supervised
the management and maintained his
property. His father promised and
agreed to pay the plaintiff $1,1S5 for
his services.
While rendering the services, the
plaintiff alleges that he incurred some
debts in connection with the collec-
ton of the rents, caring for the prop
erty and procuring tenants. Some of
these he was compelled to pay per-
sonally while others were reduced to
judgment against him. These amount
to $1,647.22. The only money he has
rents he collected. There is now due
him S2,00S.90
Burtus Keeney died Sept II. 1914
and on Oct. 26 the defendants in this
action qualified as executors and the
will was admitted to probate. The
probate court set one year as the time
limit for the presentation of claims
and in August of this year the plain
tiff presented bill for services which
was disallowed by the executors.
Six years before the death of the
testator the plaintiff alleges that he
gave to his father several pieces of
jewelry, including one pair of large
diamond earrings, one diamond bar
pin, one diamond ring with a single
stone, one ring with a cluster of dia-
monds, one diamond necklace, a gold
watch and a gold chain and numerous
other small pieces of jewelry, for safe
keeping. This jewelry, alleges the
plaintiff, was bequeathed him by his
mother and was valued at $4,000. The
plaintiff claims that his father dur
ing his lifetime disposed of the jewelry
without his authority and he seeks the
equivalent in money.

DO this FIRST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
