SEA WATER USED
AS DISINFECTANT
Can Be Used to SteriliZe' Drinking.
Water and as Antiseptic for
Wounds at Small Cost

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
London, Feb. 25.-Sea water turned
into disinfecting fluid at the cost Of
six cents for a hundred gallons is the
novel method of disinfecting hospital
ships which has been successfully
tried out on the Aquitania and is now
adopted in the other transports of the
sick and wounded.
The apparatus consists of an cleo
trolytic cell, a reversing switch cap
BILE of carrying 100 amperes, and
some ordinary insulated electric
cable, costing in all about $3.50. The
CELL in order to insulate it, is placed
on rubber mat and is raised upon
low table to enable the contents to
be poured out easily. 1t is filled with
cold sea water. A current of 60-75
amperes at 40 volts is turned on and
in about five minutes there is OBJ
tanned a solution containing two parts
of solium hypochlorite or available
chlorine to 900 parts.
The solution is excellent as a
sterlizer of drinking water, one part
chlorine to Sle million parts, and as
an antiseptic for wounds used UNI
diluted as obtained from the electro
lyzer. The fluid is besides used in
the butchers department and in the
laundry for soaking undyed cotton
and linen goods. 1t is added to the
ships swimming bath in the pro-
portion of one part in two million
parts, reducing the bacteria in the
water by 80 per cent.
This use of electrolyzed sea water
has affected a great economy by re-
placing expensive coal tar disinfect-
ants such as carbolic, cresol and the

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says little Salts in water HAY
save you from dread
attack.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known auth GRITTY
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing Stiffness soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action thus Kidding the blood
Of these impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleas
ant effervescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

DO This FIRST-Y0U!

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, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-oot
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.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sionaftersickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

TRIAL OF WIRELESS
OPERATOR TUESDAY
Stamford Man Pleads Not Guilty
in j. s. District Court

New Haven, March 2-William r
Scofield of Stamford, a TELEGRAPH op-
orator in the Grand Central terminal
in New York, indicted last week by
a federal grand jury on the charge
of operating a radio station without
having secured a license from the
government, appeared in the United
States district court today and enter
ed plea of not guilty. His case
was set for next Tuesday. w. J. III.
Bohannan, who entered an appear
ance for Scof1eld, was admitted to
practice in this court
In the case of the government
against a shipment of oysters, a pro-
cedure under the Pure Food laws a
stipulation was entered into between
District Attorney Spellacy and coun-
sci Tor the oyster companies by
which without prejudice to the oys-
tiers they may be taken out of storage
and destroyed. When the oysters
were seized they were stored by the
government but not in cold storage,
Consequently they aged and became
in bad condition. Then they were
sent to cold storage. The shipments
Of oysters against which proceedings
were brought are said to have be-
longed to three dealers.
The grand jury was in session. but
| its indictments if any have been
| found, will not be made public until
| the persons named have been apprc-
| hended.
In the civil suit of Rosa Pontillio
| administrative, against the New York
| New Haven & Hartford railroad. no
| appearance was made for the plain
! tiff, and the court granted a motion
to dismiss the action with costs
against the plaintiff. Pontilio, track
walker, was killed by a train at Hart
ford, in 1913. In the first suit a
verdict of $4,000 was given. The cir
cult court reversed this and sent the
! case back for re-trial.
Court was adjourned until Tues

COAL YARD OFFICE

Fire and Water Does Damages Oh

Company.
Company.

Fire starting from an unknown emu
mysterious origin, Quilted the ounce ol
the CITY Coal & Wood company on
Elm street at SIS o'clock last evening,
doing damage estimated by f. II.
Johnston at $500. The loss is covered
by insurance.
Mr. Johnston states that When he
closed his office at 6:15 o'clock last
night everything was all right. Yet
two hours later the blaze was diScoy-
ered and an alarm was sounded from
box 412. which the firemen were able
TO decipher despite another mix-up
in the fire alarm system. The fire
started under the counter in the front
of the office and was blazing briskly
when the department arrived. it was
Necessary to smash in the big plate

into the building. The damage from
water. as we'll as fire, was consider

What started the fire is unknown.
Chief Dame does not think crossed
wires did it, but wire trouble is the
ONLY plausible explanation Mr. John-
ston can give. The fire started ana
burned the greatest right where the
teIenhOne wires enter telephone box.
This admits of the possibility that tel
enhOne wires might have been crossed
with wires carrying a higher current,
causing the fire. Inasmuch as the
recess beneath the counter was pro-
tected by a wire screen. The lighted
cigar careless1y thrown" theory is not
satisfactory.

GOODWIN CHAIRMAN
OF TOWN COMMITTEE
Republicans Compromise on Third
Ward Man Instead of w. n. Nc
Kirby or G. w. Bull.

To succeed Raymond r. Healey, re-
signed, the republican town COM
1nittee got together last night and
elected q. Clayton Goodwin. Prior
to last nights meeting there had been
considerable discussion over the chair
manship. William N McKirdy was
first choice but his duties as master
mechanic at the Corbin Cabinet Lock
company would not permit him to
accept the position. Second choice
was reported as George w. Bull and

-Sequah, the most famous itinerant
quack of his time who died here pen
niless at the age of seventy-two went
through a fortune estimated at S.,
100000 obtained from the credulous.
Sequah was born in London, but
posed as a red Indian He had re-
markable gifts as Snowman and q
powerful personality that enabled
him to work his curse. He inspired
faith, drew people to him like mag
net and exercised a certain spell of a
hypnotic nature ever them. Touring
the country in magnificent style, he
would hire the largest hall in a place,
work up enthusiasm with a brass band
and then proceed to work his miracles
Of cure. He was an exceptionally fine
elocutionist, a fluent speaker and
something of a singer-talents he la
ter put to use on the variety stage,
after giving up the medicine business
Another natural endowment was
great physical strength. He could pull
out the most obstinate tooth, even if
he took q piece Of jaw bone with it,
and then make the patient swear be-
fore the audience that the operation
was painless. When he applied his
magic oils against rheumatism, he
gave the patient such a severe rub
bling that the original pain was for
gotten. Many patients who hobbled
on the stage came off without crutches
owing to faith and excitement. But
relief was. Of course, only temporary.
Seouah. whose real name is said to
have been Hartley, reached the ze-
NTH of his fame in the early '9Os. He
was everywhere denounced as an I'M
poster. but that only increased his
following among the credulous
masses.
