operation of the people themselves, l have no fear for the result.
 It is said that when we get rid of the conditions that favor the spread of tuberculosis. we will at the same time get rid of thNee-quarters of the poverty and one-haIf of the crime!
 Let us then cooperate with friend 1y sympathy for the sick; let us give from our store of Knowledge; let us be modest in order to strive the hard CT to learn where we are now ignorant butAlet us instil cheerfuIness in the hearts of all, for cheerfulness is one of the best of medicines.
 Should we not then say to ourselves: '.I would be true. for there are those
 who trust me; T would be pure, for there are those
 who care; I would be strong. for there is much to suffer;
 I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
 II would be friend to all the sick, the
 friend1ess; I would be giving and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my
 weakness; I would 1ok uIo-and 1augh-and love

the Visiting Nurses will be in the van of the fight for future eradication of Tuberculosis, and that they will be
 more and more identified with and as sociated in, this work. The physi- clans, to whom so much of the origin and success of the work of the Visiting Nurses Association Is due, are gradu- ally but surely becoming convinced that skill and devotion to their pa tients are not producing the highest results because of two difficulties:
 The conditions surrounding a pa tient requiring immediate betterment, and the failure of the patient to call in the doctor until too late. Here is where the Visiting Nurse is valuable. would suggest that prominent physi-- clans in every locality should be made members of the Executive committee reason of their skill. Not only med ica1 but practical. and also as the mark of appreciation for their value in organizing and carrying out the movements throughout this State.
 The day is rapidly approaching when the Visiting Nurses Associations will have much more to say and do concerning the work of eradicating tu- bercu1osis. It may be held back in some sections, but it is bound to come. Physicians are beginning to acknowl edge that the properly trained Visiting Nurse is of the greatest help to him in his work. It is she who must visit the home; investigate the conditions and ascertain whether the physicians advice has been followed. This ssis not the sole duty; she should not only inquire carefully into any contacts but should follow up any information leading to suspected cases and report the same. Her chief duty would lie in the educational work she would do in the homes of patients. It would be found that many heretofore unsus- pected cases would be discovered in the families of different patients. There should be the most friendly CO operation between the medical frater- nifty the health organizations and the charitable societies. I believe that more help should be given to the Wis iting Nurses Associations, by the physicians, the municipal authorities and perhaps by t1ae State.
 We are engaged in a noble fight. Those of us who are not on the firing line in the advanced trenches of this~ battle, can do yeoman service in the homes of the people. They are the center of the enemy's stronghold \ There is where we are weak. It is where we must be strong.
 If every home in the State of Con- necticut were properly guarded, there would be no such thing as tubercuIo- sis.

 Comrnissioner seeley said two new pIaygrounds were needed, one Of which it is proposed to locate on Old Mill Green. In the West End there is a playground which the park board rents from the Raeolzozy SO ciety. There are 2,80O children in a. radius of a, few blocks there and the playground is crowded every day.
 Chairman King said he had heard that the police board intended to ask for money to build permanent and larger precinct stations in the East End and West End. He said also that the health board would ask for clinic building in the rear of the police and charities building.
 Alderman R. N. FBlakeslee, who is a member of the commission, said he had it on good authority there would be land damages of from $150. 900 to s2OOOOO on the three proposed new bridges, which had not been figured in their estimated cost He said the construction of the bridges could not be commenced until these damages had been awarded. It was finally decided that the several bridge com missions must take their wants to tha board of apportionment- The com mission will meet Monday. at o'clock, when the question of pave rnents will be taken up. Engineer Terry will present his estimates on the cost of sewer installation.

Then you will have an unsightly looking and nasty smelling oil station there. It took 40 years to get rid of the Nauga- tuck dock. It will take 100 years to get rid of a situation like that which is likely to deveIope any min. ute. Detroit has it's Bell Island and we could have an amusement resort over there, where the little girls could go to dance under proper restrictions. A slight admission fee might be charg- ed, which would more than pay the interest on bonds for buying the isl and, and later the money from con- cessionaires there would pay off the bonds

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

The population of Connecticut is one and one-quarter million people, and Red Coss Christmas Seals sold in the 1918 campaign by the National Red Cross Society, were about one
 million seals, fifteen per. cent. of the funds obtained were used for expen- ses of distribution. Last year the members of the Tuberculosis Commis sion undertook this work, canvassing every City, Town and Village in the State, appointing local agents, sending out press notices, Red Cross Seals, and.
 making personal appeals to individ- uals of those Towns where we were unable to obtain a local agent and in creasing the number of local agents from twenty to ffty-seven. The re- suit of the campaign was most grati- lying; nearly two million seals being sold, while ninety per cent or sixteen thousand dollars of the proceeds went directly towards the anti-tuberculosis light in this state. I am glad to an- nounce that so far the total sales point to an increased amount of funds for this fight during the coming year. I appeal strongly to every one to use these seals on all packages and the backs of letters with the understand ing that every seal is a bullet aimed at the enemy, and also helps to bring the true spirit of Christmas into every home.

Visiting Nurses.


 In each locality these funds are ex- pended according to the wishes of the charitable organizations making the sales, the only condition being that it must be for tuberculosis sufferers. In the larger towns it provides funds for one or more Tuberculosis Visiting Nurses while many a poor sufferer unable to obtain the $4.0O per week required by the state for sanatorium treatment, is now placed there with every chance for recoveFy.
 am not familiar with the situation as it exists in Willimantic regarding the coordination which should exist between the physicians of the City and the Visiting Nurses Association here, but judging from other locali ties in the State, it would seem as though the question was being settled satisfactorily by the acknowledge nent of both the physicians of the State and the Visiting Nurses Asso- ciation. Their work is better done by cooperation than in any other Away. There is no question but what

London, Dec. 31-The Germans and

Although the report lacks confrma

MERCHANTS TAKING INVENTORY
Stock Pretty Well Sold Out and Task
Will Be Easy This Year.

Practically every merchant in Ard
more is busy taking stock The lull
in business following the Christmas
holidays is always taken for that
purpose and according to reports
the job is easy" this year, as nearly
every store has a much depleted
stock of goods.
Il believe every merchant in Ard
more" said President Kruger of the
Business Mems Credit association,
has had phenomenal trade this past
holiday season. From what | can
learn from members of our associa-
tion, all have nearly sold out This
means that shoppers were satisfied
with prices and that the campaign
made during the holiday season by
our association against buying away
from home has borne fruit. We are
all rushing clean, new stocks, and my
prediction for the spring business is
that it will exceed the holiday trade,
although, of course, it will be along
more stable lines"

and almost instantly killed Mitchell
The killing took place between Simon
and Orr, near the homes of both the
parties.
Bates came to Marietta and surrcn-
dered to the sheriff of Love county. He
has but little to say about the matter
other than to state that he acted pure
ly in self defense and that Mitchell
made him commit the deed. The pre-

for the Sth of January Both parties
are well known all over that section
of the state and so far as reported, had
never had any trouble previous to the
present difficulty.
