Milk Campaign Statistics Watch
 for Your Milkman'S Name

In this space daily appears the re- suits of the labratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or der that the reader shall not be con- fused by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3.25 per cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signify a dirty milk. On the oth- CT hand, there is no excuse for milk containing a small or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making the campaign a. success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer and the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later a full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies in the city and on the farms.

PROGRESS IN NEW PARISH
Father Eftzgerald's First Report Of Church of St. John the Evangelist Shows Gratifying Results.

Shows Gratifying ItcSultS.
 The first report of Rev. John J.
 Fitzgerald, pastor of the church of
 St. John the Evangelist, covering a
 period of seventeen weeks, has been
 submitted to the members Of the
 parish and shows gratifying results
 With such an energetic pastor, the
 parish, which was formed last May
 and embraced Catholics in the eastern
 part of the city from St. Mary's and
 St. Josephs churches, great progress
 has been made. Already the com
 pletion of building to be used as a church temporarily, and later as a school is near. Father Fitzgerald, who was formerly a curate at St.. Mary's church, came back to the scene of his former labors from Poquonock, when Bishop Milan as-
 signed to him the task of starting the new parish, and with the same zeal l that featured his efforts in Poquonock, I where he had just completed a new 1 church, he at once began his work here. The members of the parish have shown unusual interest and by | entertainments of various kinds the cash report of the priest was made pOSS1Dle. SerVlCeS at present are Oe- ing conducted in St. Andrews Iith- uanian church.
 The report is as follows: Receipts, $5,695,35; disbursements. $1,268.70; balance on hand, $4,426.65.
 Itemized the receipts are as fol- 1 lows: Seat money, s1,331.75; offer tory, $551.70; parish collections, s1,739.50; entertainments, $1,340; do- nations, $695; other sources, $37.40. ! The disbursements include the pur- | chase of a parcel of land between l Willard street and Newington road. l There are HOO members in the par l ish.

was expected and an emergency cam paign was adopted.
 Among those who testified for the prosecution besides Grabeck, was Will liam Grabeck of 32 North street, brother of Joseph; Patrick Collins of 102 Sexton street, Christy Murphy of 147 Chestnut street, William Politus of 151 Hartford avenue, Arthur Sorel of 169 Washington street and James Corbit of IF Broad street. They testi- fled that they either helped take the black jacks from Gezerski's pockets or saw them there, as well as to hav- ing been informed that Gezerski had threatened to get them.
 Michael Bernertsic testified that he was in a Main street store last night when Gezerski approached h1m, ask ing him to aid in getting" Grabeck and telling him he would furnish him with a black jack. Michael did not like the looks of things, refused and went to the 'movies" instead.
 Several of the accused, or witnesses, were identified as having been in the militia when it did duty on the Mex ican border and it is rumored that the gang feud was carried there with numerous threatened outbreaks.
 AltnouSn IL IS pelleVeu Iid' J oo"eo Meskills treatment has quieted gang outbreaks for some time to come, po- licemen patrolling night beats where the gangsters are known to congre- gate will be ordered to take no chances, check any outbreaks in the beginning and make arrests The gang fouds are expected periodically and it is generally necessary. to have several jail sentences imposed before those looking for trouble get all that they want.
 The work of Joseph Grabeck in aiding the police and his fearless work in aiding the capture of Gezer- ski, especially when he was supposed to carry 8 revolver and lnfe mood to use it. received much favorable com mendation last night and today.

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT no
 INsUKE HEALTH @

Few people realize to what exteht their health depends upon the condt-s ton of the kidneys. N0
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemicals analysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are dor ing their work properly, the other or-s gans cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. t4
 When the kidneys are neglected or. abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to healths statistics, Bright's Disease, which IS. really an advanced form of kidneys trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year in the State ofs New York alone. Therefore, it is pafs ticularly necessary to pay more atten-s ton to the health of these importants organs.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as kldney1 remedy is Dr. kilmers Swamp -Root1 the great kidney, liver and bladdefa remedy.
 The mild and healing influence QG this preparation, in most cases, is sooA realized, according to sworn stats ments and verified testimony of thosAs who have used the remedy. As
 When your kidneys require attenN tion, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by everyI druggist in bottles of two sizes-bo. cents and $1.0o. & However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N.s Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the New Britain, Daily Herald.

SUPT. MAKES CORRECTION. Health Board Bulletin Does Injustice
 to Avery & Sons

Superintendent of Health T. E. Reeks desires that the public be ap- praised of a clerical error which ap- peared in the monthly bulletin just issued by his department. The bulle- tin credits J. E. Avery & Sons with selling milk with a slight trace of dirt. The milk was found to be clean, the superintendent states. and adds that although this Is the first error that has crept into his bulletins he will gladly make public acknowledgement in case one should occur again.
 Dr. Reeks realizes what it means to a dealer who sells good articles to be credited with selling that which is not quite as good and therefore has not hesitated to make explanation.

WANTS ASSESSMENT CHANGE

N1ny UT DClAcNCS ICAuduSuC fASSSNSOEy
 Though Office Cost Would Be More,
 Good Business Proposition.
 Mayor Quigley states that he would
 like to see change in the assessment
 system whereby instead of employing
 part time assessors, one or two per-
 manent men, high priced men who are
 experts in their line, be appointedJ
 He believes it would be to the finan<
 cial advantage to the city for, he
 states, he feels positive that by such
 system as he proposes the grand
 list would be increased enough to-
 more than pay for the difference inA salaries. MS To show some of his arguments for such a change, the mayor expresses the opinion that under the present system it is impossible for the asses sors to investigate the property valuar ton of the city, and the personal property valuation fairly. lie thinks that the personal property valuauons, including house furnishings, should b6 on the lists for a half million dollars and says that he has reason to believe. that local dealers do a business estf-tl mated at from $100,00O to s200, os each year. "Uf," the mayor says, "by havingy permanent assessors, or permanentp assessor, the city would be able to ob- tain, for instance, S20.O00 additional money in taxes would it not paw Even if 1t was necessary to pay th0 assessor a. $3,0OO salary, the cify would be the better off by 17.000 and | it would appearf to be like 6 pretty good business move" Mayor Quig- 1 ley did not use these figures in an acAs curate sense, but merely to illustrat0s l his point.

STILL ANOTHER
 LOCAL CITIZEN
 PRAISES HIGHLY
Mir. A. Howells, 32 Cottage Place, This City, Is Another One of the Many
 Lax-a-TOne Boosters.

yM
 . Well" said MT. Martin, you can see that I told the truth, that local people are endorsing Lax-a-Tone. It is a simple matter if you are skep- tical as to the virtues of this tonic to simply investigate and find out as to the truth of our assertions. We are letting your own people right here in New Britain advise you as to whether this remedy has the merit"
 MT. Howells, over his signed testi- monial, says:
 T find Lax-aTone a remedy of great merit I have used it for stom- ach trouble. I have had severe indi- gestion that would effect me with distressing symptoms. No matter what I ate it wiuld turn sour, gas would form and I would bloat up ter ribly. It is needless to say that I have tried. in many ways to get re- lief, but none of them presented themselves until I used Lax-a-Tone, and I cannot recommend this remedy too highly"
 Tired, weary people who seem to - have no ambition with sallow skins, blurred tongue, sour acid stomach, have gas pains and bloat up until they are uncomforta ble, will find Lax-a-Tone Godsend. It will increase the appetite, enrich the blood, re- lieve constipation, tone up the nerves and, in fact, will surprise you with the results you will receive in one weeks time.
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, 36 5 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public.

ASST. TO BUILDING
 INSPECTOR IS PLAN
Change Proposed If Office Is Not i Made Permanent

If the charter revision committee foi1s to favor an amendment estab- fishing the office of building inspector, who shall devote all his working hours to the position, it is probable that the building inspector will be given an assistant next year
 Thus the inspector could attend to the more important matters relative to the building inspection, while his assistant could do the routine Work and minor investigations.
 Other matters to be disposed Of or thoroughly discussed at the meeting of the charter revision committee this week will be the pension system for the fire and police department, the reorganization of the water depart ment and one or two other items left
 over from previous meetings. Mayor
 Ouigley and various members of the
 committee have gone on record as fa- voring reorganization of the police and fire department pension scheme by
 which each man in the department
 would pay certain amount into the
 fund, 2 per cent. of his pay having
 been suggested. Most of the commits sioners feel that inasmuch as the men themselves are the ones to benefit in the end they should contribute to the fund. There is some 1ndec1sion as to the best plan to follow. Some feel that the pension rules should be mandatory that a policeman or fire man should be retired to the pension list immediately after he rounds out a certain number of years, in case he Is not retired before that because of 1n- juries. Others think that the retire ment of the men should be left en- tirely with a pension board, as they | believe that some men, even after working the required number of years, might still wish to remain &C., l tive.
 General sentiment seems to be in favor of the proposed change in the water department organization. It l is said that the proposed change is no reflection on the present clerk, P. 1 J. Egan, or any attempt to get his position away from him. If the pro- posed change goes through it will provide for a water commission Of l four members, each of whom will serve without pay, except the chair l man, and no other commissioner will ! receive pay. At present Clerk Egan 1 who is also a commissioner, receives l pay as clerk and commissioner. The ] idea of those who desire this change | they say, is to place the water de- partment on a. plane with some of the 1 other boards, especially the public | works board and the health board l Clerk Harry A. Emmett of the board l of public works is not a commissioner l nor is Dr. T. B, Reeks, clerk of the | health board. The argument agains l, the present water board system Is tha
 it gives the clerk a chance to vote or
 his own work and takes him out O.
 the class of an em ploye.
 It is said that MT. Egan will be re
 tained as clerk of the board if he i
 not reappointed a commissioner.
