The Westerly Veteran Firemen's as- sociation, is a comparatively new or ganization but decidedly progressive. The members being accustomed to promptness by long experience as vol unteer f1remen were not slow in being fllIy uniformed and located in com LofCapIe quarters, and have just made their organization complete by the purchase Of hand fire engine, which haS already arrived and is at Hold redge's being put in working trim.
 The machine was built many years ago by William Jeffers and company, in PawtucSet, and was known as Star NO. l, Of CranstOn. It is of the pi- anO-bOx type, single stream stroke requiring a working force of 40 men to get the best results, and has a piston stroke Of nine and one half inches, This old machine has a good record and the local vets believe that they have a ze-winner, perhaps, not at the first muster in which they partici- pate, but after they have become ac- cUStOmed to the kinks that produce the greatest efficiency.
 The veterans will make their initial appearance as competitors in a fire mems muster in Providence, August 31, on the occasion or the muster of the New England Firemen's League. in connection with the annual conven- ton of International F'iremen's assO- ciatiOn. Just as soon as the appar- atus is put into working trim the vets will take her out for frequent prac- tice trials and will note the squirting power before the machine ic called to the platform in Providence.
 The new set of ladders of the Alert Hook and Ladder truck were shipped to NIiddlebOrO, Mass, Monday, and will be a part Of the equipment of the new mOtOr-driven apparatus being as- sembled at that place for the Alert company. The new machine is ex- pected to arrive in Westerly within a month and then the three fire conl- panies will be supplied with motor ap- paratus. The spare set of ladders was immediately placed on the Alert truck and will be kept in commission until the motor apparatus is formally ac- cepted by the committee representing the Westerly Fire district, which is composed of Charles J. Butler, Chief Engineer Samuel G. Cottreu and Ever ett Barnes.

Medicine Of the University OF

Tin recently published on the pre-.

the United States from malaria
is, he estimates. $4,000, 900 a

The methods recommended BY
the department of preventive

vention Of infection Of the mos.
quito with the malarial parasite
and the protection Of persons
against malarial fevers by means
OF quinine.

There are three kinds OF para.
sites. One Of these developes in
forty. eight hours, another in
seventy.two and third in from
twenty-four to forty eight. The
first two produce the two-day and
the three-day ehills. The third
kind produces irregular chills.
Ii there are more than one fam
lily OF parasites in ones body,
the chills may be more frequent.
Two families Of the forty eight
hour kind may deyelope at FREE

every day or two chills every

causes about go per cent Of the
deaths from the disease. The
