; Judge Green in the superior court at Hartford has decided the question of pleadings in the appeal from the probate court in this city in the case of Mrs. Anna N. Hooker, of Berlin, against her daughter, Croline Hook CT Goodwin, wife Of Dr. Goodwin of Thomaston.
 Judge Green ruled that the troubles between the mother and daughter must be left out and to amend the Items of increased expenditure which, 1t is claimed, will be necessary for Mrs. Hooker to meet in the future.
 Mrs. Hooker is the widow of N. Al bert Hooker, late of Berlin, and inter- ested in the former Hooker Carriage factory in New Haven. Tn his will, approved in 1907, he made his widow cXe,'utriX and trustee ot his est ,tc "f about SS} 0nh uhd p7.. .lGtG she should have a life income from the estate so long as she remained widow for ner .sua.,' r. n"G '@e snpp"r' of her children, an ! ;he 1e,"a 7. 1g :','c1est should go to Caroline and the other heirs.

 Trustee Frsbie petitioned the pro bate court for an allowance of $1,oOo from the principal fund for the sup uort of Mrs. Hooker. and the petition was denied. The reason Of appeal set up that by reason of Mrs. Goodwin 5 annoyance and demands the income of the widow had been decreased. A. H. Barclay, lawyer for Mrs. Hooker, said the widows daughter had nagged her and asked for surety bona untli upon her physicians advice, Mrs. Hooker divested herself of all business matters, and has been to the expense of a, trusted and to the expense or d 5urfety company bond for the trustee and to attorneys fees.

The mistake Is frequently made of trying to build up a workout ner- Vous system on so-called tonics.
 New material from which to re- build up tissue cells is what should be supplied, and this can be obtained only from proper food.
 ''I found myself on the verge of q nervous collapse, due to overwork and study, and to illness in the fam fly, writes a Wisconsin woman.
 My friends became alarmed be- cause I grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. I took various tonics, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me

mlttee. Most of the members had in tended slashing the whole business, but Health Superintendent Reeks made such strong presentation of his case that the board was impressed With the need. Under charities, the board had only one question to decide. This was the proposed new dairy barn to cost s6,0O0. They left it to the sub committee to decide. Under incident als but one j+om received attention. This was the sundry account which was raised to $500 from $500.
 Other Appropriations.
 The estimate of $13,0OO for the New Britain Institute was left to stand. It was voted to combine the $50 appropriation for Stanley Post and $50 for A. c. Hammond Command under the heading Memorial day. The public amusement commission was al- lowed $500, the amount asked, but the s1,OO0 for the establishment of a social center was killed. The board allowed $6,55O for Walnut Hill park and $2,500 for starting work at the new Stanley Quarter park Action on the estimate of s3,2OO for the city survey work was left with the sub committee.
 Pergola Goes Over.
 The board decided that the Walnut Hill park pergola could go over for another year. This cut $1,200 rom the estimates and the board then cut the municipal ash collection proposi- ton off, for which $17,500 was esti- mated as necessary.

 Salaries increase slightly. AIr. Prior explained that supervision is the most costly item under public amusement. The equipment is minor matter, but proper supervision is all important. Commissioner Scha efer thought S195O a lot of money for two months work MT. Prior said the work is hard and the supervisors and instructors earn all they get. For new equipment he wants s250, and repairs will cost $2OO Much of the present equip ment is worn out or unfit for service. It is hoped to have the prevocational school turn out much of the new equipment. The Landers playground will have to be abandoned and it will cost $50 to remove and install ap- paratus at the Burritt school grounds. The item of $225 for celebrations would be used Fourth of July and at the close of the season when they award prizes to the children. For home gardens and inspections he sought $200. MT. Prior explained that last year they conducted 1878 gardens Superintendent Crawford of the Boys club did the inspection work and travelled to all parts of the city. The baseball league woud cost $100. It is a new feature, having been started at Walnut Hill park last season. It proved a big success and provided amusement for both young and old.
 The Social Center.
 The committee asked a special ap- propriation of $1,000 for the establish ment of a social center. MT. Prior explained carefully just what is pro- posed. It was planned to start the experiment at the Smalley school. The city is about to start a big campaign for the Boys club building fund. He thought this a good thing, but never theless felt that the city has big investment in schools which is not re- turning as much for the money ex- pended as it might. The school houses could be turned into social centers with great benefit to the pub lie. It aids in developing the com munity idea and will keep the young boys and girls off the streets until bed time. The expense would not be great compared with the good at tained. The Parents and Teachers associations favor the idea. It was planned to keep the school open five , or six nights a week during four 1 months of the year at least. Judge 1 Gaffney thought it might be a good l idea to open some of the basement 1 rooms in the schools evenings for the l benefit of the boys and girls. Under l proper supervision he thought it | would prove valuable Commits l sioncr kehoe thought well of the so- cial center idea as did MT. Chamber lain.
