BETTER BABIES.
Mrs. Alice E. Barber Writes of New
 Campaign Which Is Spreading.

Mrs. Alice E. Barber of Norwich Town, who read a paper last week, both before Norwich grange, No. 172, and New London county Pomona, No. Babies Campaign, writes The Bulletin an explanation of what is aimed at and expected to be accomplished by the movement in which she is so much interested
 She writes as follows:
 Norwich grange, P. of H.. has been the first organization to endorse this movement locally, but we hope all local organizations will take the mat ter up and act upon it.
 When we realize the need of this movement the good it will accomplish through Mothers Meetings, Mothers Leagues, Baby Health Exhibits, and the literature distributed by the Wo- mans Home Companion without cost it would seem effort alone is needed to promote this work
 When we realize over 100000 chil- dren under five years of age die an nua1ly in the United States of prevent able diseases; that 25 per cent. of all blindness is caused by ophamlia, ad- mitted by all authorities as prevent able; that in one year in the regis tration area of the United States alone ,549 children died of respiratory dis eases, 41,I61 of diarrhoeal or enteric diseses, 33,274 lived only a few hours
 
 debility and diseases of early infancy When we realize this terrible death rate was preventajble in most cases not all certainly, but with proper training for motherhood the death rate would have been decreased amazingly In Belgium it has been decreased from | 324 per thousand to 35 by this method. In England there are municipally con- ducted 400 of these schools of mother craft and greater work than either
  In America we as nation are at the foot, but are waking up. In New York there are over 10000 girls from 12 to IA years of age formed into Lit | tie Mother leagues. These girls are taught all practical methods of baby | ings are held. Each league is under the supervision of doctor and train ed nurse from the division of hy- giene
 One department store has furnished a suite of rooms in which exhibits are held. Every day talks are given, lec- | lures held and demonstrations given | as to proper methods of child care. Better Baby, contests have been held in every state but three, and 117 local and county contests representing 37 states.
 These contests are usually held on l fair grounds, but if suitable quarters are not to be procured, can be held in any suitable building. Usually fair | officials are only glad to furnish build ings as it means large gate receipts. | The United States spends annually | $3 ,000, 900 for better cattle, better hogs, better corn, fruit and flowers. Why not better babies? Physicians all over the county are taking up the work and | giving services free. Perhaps the most notable work accomplished by the bu- reau is to interest the largest and most influential body of men in the county, the American Medical asso- citation, in the scientific examination | of babies at contests.
 All our leading magazines are pub fishing articles on this subject. Local papers are giving free advertisements I to help the cause. Physicians and

PERSONAL TAX COLLECTION
 STIRS HIM UP.
Clyde R. Smith Will Sue New London
 for False Arrest.

Clyde R. Smith, a plano tuner in New London, Monday announced his intention of instituting a suit for dam ages against the city of New London for false arrest in connection with the recent personal tax prosecution. MT. Smith was summoned into police court on Wednesday last for non-payment of the tax for 1914, which with interest amounted to $2.18. He was fined $5 additional and at the same time he paid the 1915 tax, making his total payment to the court $9.18.
 MT. Smith has in his possession a personal tax bill which he recently re- intends to base his suit. The bill is in substance as follows: Tax for 1915, s2; tax for 1914, $2;' interest, IS cents; total, $4.18. At one end of the bill is printed statement to the effect that if it is not paid on or before May 1, 1915, it will be turned over to the pros ecuting attorney for collection.
 The foregoing clause is considered by the prospective plaintiff as basis for action. He alleges that he intend ed to pay the $4.1S before May and that under the phraseology of the clause referred to he rightfulIy as- stunned that he had until that date in which to settle. He further alleges that before he had an opportunity to pay he was arrested and prosecuted.
 The contention of Personal Tax Col lector Collins is that the prosecution was for the tax of 1914, for which a previous demand had been made, he says. The bill for the 1915 tax, to- gether with the arrearages for 1914, has nothing to do with the case, he adds.

The thin persons body is like. dry sponge-eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which 1t is being deprived by the failure of the altmentary canal to take them from this sinful waste of flesh building ele- m ents and to stop the leakage Of fats is to use sargol. the recently discovered Eeeeha1efha1t S h1h1 tive n force that is recommended abroad, Take little. .sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quick ly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your other good druggists have sargol or can get it from their wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it each package: It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient

 One mother, whose baby in a con- test was marked TO because of prom inent ears, said:
 When those physicians looked at her ears and wrote that fatal 70 after her name, I thought I could never forgive myself. It was the most hu- initiating day of my life. Not be- cause I lost the prize, but because l could have corrected the disagreement if I had persevered.''

CONFIDENCE MAN BOUND OVER
John Bare Held for Trial in Superior Cort-Aocused of Getting $1 100 From Edward Piokowski in Swindling Game-John H. Shaughnessy, Sneak Thief, Given Sem tence by Judge Kelly

The case of the state vs. John Bare, several times continued, was brought up again in the city court here Mon day morning. Baro, who comes from Brooklyn. N. Y-, was accused of oo- taining money under false pretenses from MT. and Mrs. Edward PiotkoW- ski on Feb. 23 last at. their home at No. 878 Central avenue. Bare plead ed guilty and after the evidence against him had been heard, Judge T.. J. Kelly found probable cause for hold ing Bare for trial in the superior court Bonds were placed at $5,O0O. which Bare could not furnish and he went to jail to await his trial.
 MT. and Mrs. Piotkowsld were the complaining witnesses and told their Miller induced them to put $1, 100 into the hands of these two men. The Plot kowsld family never saw the money again.
 MT. Piotkowsli testified that he had been running a blacksmith shop on Falls avenue, but had become inter ested in the sale of farms for other people. Several weeks before he says Bare got the money away from him he met Barc in a saloon on the West Side and after some conversation In which Bare learned what business Piotkowski was in, Bare suggested that he could possibly find a customer for a farm for Piotkowsh
 There were other later meetings and letters were written by Bare in which he told of having a prospective cus- tomer and at one time a man named SantofSky, who was subsequently known as Henry Miller, was introduced as man who would buy a farm. Once Bare took MT. and Mrs. Piotkowsh to Boston, paying their expenses, and Miller was met there. The couple also went to New London once to talk with Bare about the sale of the farm
 On Feb. 22 Piotkowski met Miller and Bare in the city here and the fol- lowing day Bare went to the Piot1kow- ski home and talked about the sale again. He learned that Piotkowskd had SLIGO in cash and told him that he could make a lot of money out of it quickly. There was a dark colored box with telegraph outfit in it into which Bare put the money for a few minutes while he made the telegraph instrument click and then the money was taken out and put between two boards and placed on the mantel where PiotkoWski was told to leave 1t till the next day, when the operator would return and open 1t with him. By that time he was told the money would have grown to a much larger amount
 That was the last Piotkowsk ever saw of Bare until the confidence man was arrestel in Chicago on the 22nd

of March. When Piotkowski opened the boards after Bare did not come back nothing but some pieces of green plotting paper were found between them.
 At various times in their talks Barc interested PiotkowslSt in the chance of finding man who had taken $9,8O0 from man he knew and said if they could only find this man, the loser of the big sum would reward them hand somely.
 Through information furnished to police departments by the Norwich police, the chase after Barc was fol- lowed through New York, Brooklyn and Chicago, where he was arrested , in one day less than month after the swindle. He was brought on from Chi cago by State Policeman Flynn after extrad1tion papers had been secured. Mrs Piotkowsit gave testimony that corroborated her husbands in many particulars.
 Bare, who was represented by At torney Allyn L. Brown, put in no tes- timony. He claims he cannot talk English, but the police think that he can. Joseph Marchile was interpreter in the case.
 Barc's wife, daughter and brother in-law were on court and talked with Bare before he went to jail. The dark colored box containing the telegraph instrument and the boards WHICH were LO convert CnS money Into larger sum were in court as exhib- it's.
 Intoxication and Fighting. Four men, two from Norwich, one from Taftville and the other from Middletown, were before the court, having been arrested for intoMcation All were fined and three of them paid their bills.
 A Norwich woman accused of breach of the peace was put on pro- bation until the first of May. Sneak Thief Sentenced. John H. Shaughnessy, 2S, of Boston accused of the theft Saturday after noon of a handbag containing $35 from the millinery parlors of Miss Sarah M. Buckley, at No. sos Main street was sent to jail for 30 days and was taxed the costs of court The money was found on him. He claimed he threw the handbag out the window of the place where he had a room.
 Judge Kelly was moved to be le- nient with him as it was his first of fense and it was shown he had been drinking. When he called at the Buck ley millinery parlors, he tried to in terest Miss Buckley in a plan to have seme photographs enlarged.
 He was arrested by Policeman Charles Smith in a hotel where he was found drinking at the bar.
