KEEP NOSE AND THROAT CLEAN
Simple Precaution May Ward on
Germs of Contagious Diseases

Simple Precaution May Ward Cd
Germs of Contagious Diseases
It has been thoroly demonstrates
that several of our communicable dis.
eases are transmitted by excretions
from the nose and throat. We know
that many of these diseases enter the
system thru the nose and throat. II
is, therefore, reasonable to believe
that if these two air passages are kept
thoroly clean at all times that the
danger of infection will be proper
tionately lessened.
A few years ago the physician in
charge Of one of our Indian reserva-
tions required the children in the
school to thoroly cleanse their noses,
mouths and threats with simple an
tiseptic solution, known as Thiersch's
Solution. This is very inexpensive
solution and is made in the following
manner:
Dissolve " teaspoonful salicylic
acid, 8 teasponnfuls boric acid in one
quart of water.
The year after this practice was
started three or four children came to
the school with whooping cough, but
not a single one Of the children at the
school who had been following this
simple precaution contracted the dis
ease. All the children in the school
were required to gargle their Threats
and wash their mouths with this So
luton and also snuff it thru their
noses, in this way thoroly cleansing
the air passages.
This is such simple procedure and
the material is so inexpensive that it
seems reasonable that every family
in the state might follow this simple
precaution.
Keep the nose, throat and mouth
thoroly clean and the danger Of con-
tracing communicable diseases will,
to say the least, be materially reduced.

answered the captain CALAMITY, "you

their friendship ceased so suddenly.

NEW MEMBERS IN FIRM
 OF HENRY ALLEN & SON.
D. H. Wilson and S. N. Taylor Join Undertaking Business Started in 1862.

Some runors have lately been cur rent that decided changes were soon ! to be made in one of the oldest under taking concerns, and inquiry reveals such to be the fact
 MT. Henry Allen started the busi- ness in the spring of 1862 and some years later on his retirement the bus mess was taken in charge by his sons, Amos and William. Since the re- mOval of Amos D. Allen to Napa, Calif., in 1895, his brother, William has had sole charge. This long pe- riod of active and many times ex- acting business has brought MT AL len to a time when he desires a less strenuous part and he embraces the opportunity to infuse fresh vigor into the firm by the introduction of new members and by Co-ordinating the work through a chartered organza- ton.
 MT. Allen will retain his position as official head, thus securing the advan- . tage of long experience, but will as sociate with him in the corporation David H. Wilson, who has been an as sistant in the business for the past has had experience by being con- firms in New Haven for several years.
 The house has been long and favor ably known throughout Connecticut and the country at large, and it is hoped that the contemplated change will enable them to serve their pa irons more efficiently through in creased equipment and youthful vigOr while retaining the sympathic touch of long experience.
