ReformatOry Sentence Suspended

The first sentence to the state re- formatory at Cheshire ever given in the city court was meted out by De- putty Judge Bradford, Monday morn- ing after he had found Joseph Niles, 19, guilty of larceny. The execution of the sentence was suspended, and the young man placed in the custody of probation officer, Peter Gardner, for a year.
 The case was d strange one. The ac' cused has been living with his aunt, Mrs. I. l.. Dragon since he was eleven years old. He was sent to school until he was sixteen and then went to WorK in the mill and he is now earning twelve dollars week.
 Mrs. Dragon told the court that she had twenty dollar bill. She put It in an envelope and marked the num- ber of the bill on the outside. She then put the envelope and money in her hand bag Later when she went to get it the envelope was there but the bill had disappeared.
 Captain Ryan was notified. Mics was accused of stealing the money but stoutly denied it although he admitted taking money on two other occasions. The boy was searched but no money was found on him. Finally the oiil, badly crumpled, was found tucked away in a pocket of an old overcoat belonging to Niles. The overcoat was hanging in the house.
 Niles said he did not know how the money came to be in his coat. He still denied that he had anything to do with it's disappearance and intimated that he was being framed up.
 Mrs. Dragon saia she allowed the hov two dollars week for spending money and bought him his clothes. She told him she was willing to con tinue this arrangement if he would admit taking the money but he would not.
 s. Diamond was fined D oy the court for leaving his automopiie OH the street without proper lights.

INSPECTOR WITTE
 MAKES FIRST REPORT
Condemns Carcass of Tubercular Cow Clean Coverings Required for
 Meat in Transit.

Although the monthly meeting of the health board was postponed yes tCrday owing to the lack of a quorum, Slaughter Inspector C. R. Witte de- livered to Superintendent T. E. Reel1s his first monthly report, showing that he had witnessed tho killing of 2S cattle. That the inspector ac- cOmplshed valuable results is shown by his report that one COW was con- demned owing to the presence of tuberculosis and part C another carcass had to be destroyed because it was partly tuberCular. Dr. Witte also refused to permit the slaughter ing of a calf as 1t was under the legal weight.
 Dr. Witte found most of the butch CTS glad to cooperate in the work of inspection, which was carried on at Hoffmans slaughter house on East street where all the butchering was done.
 The inspector also cautioned the butchers in regard to handling meat after slaughtering, ordering all to keep the carcass under a clean can vass while in transmit to market. This is matter of extreme importance as meat can easily become infected with disease if not properly covered while in transit although the slaughtering may have met all proper require- ments.
 The inspector reports two curious instances in his work. On these Oc- casions nails were found embedded in the stomaches of cows. One had perforated the stomach lining and the other had worked partly through. While it is not uncommon to find nails in the stomachs of pigs it is rare that they are found in cows
 The question of revising the ordin- ance relating to the covering Of meat from flies, which was declared uncon- stitutional by Judge Meskill in po- lice court yesterday will be taken up Inv the hoard as soon as a meeting can be held. The Winthrop street extension sewer is another matter that will be acted upon when the board meets.

Adjustments Restore Health Quickly
 and Permanently.

Nature is the Chiropractor's only aid. Adjustments release impinged nerves, opening the way for Nature tC dispatch energy over the nerve circuit to keep the body well. Nearly all bodily affliCtion is due to nerve compression at the spinal column. as such pressure disturbs normal nerve functionating, giving rise to infam- nation in and unnatural action of parts the nerves supply. Pain and distress are two manifestations of such abnormal conditions III health will continue in varying degree until the nerve pressure is adjusted away. Chiropractic adjustments correct ab- normalities without the use of drugs or instruments. Nature follows such adjustments with a cure. Drugs only check disease.
 Behind all effect there is cause The obviously sensible thing to do would be to correct the cause. Chiropractic is the science of cause. The Chiro- practor most certainly locates the cause of all incoordination (dis-ease) and eliminates it. There can be but one result of such Ak' tustment; health flow when the obstacle that holds it back is removed. c. w Van Alstyne. D. c. (Grad.
