look upon the future life was one
of hopefulness and sweet assur-

l,So0 DEATHS IN STATE.

Thirty three cases of spinal meningi. tis and sixty. two cases of smallpox were reported to the state board of health during February, according to the bulletin issued by the board. Eighteen deaths resulted from spinal meningitis while none of the small pox cases were fatal. Total deaths for the month numbered 1,8l8 and the death rate was 17.6 per cent, 1.5 per cent, higher than the average death rate for February in the lost five years and 1.S per cent. higher than the annual death rate for 1916. Two hundred and sixty. six deaths during the month resulted from communicable diseases and 294 of the deaths were infants under the age of l year.
 Of the communicable diseases, there were 600 cases of measles, 179 cases of diphtheria and croup and 156 cases of tuberculosis reported during the month. Measles caused the death of ten people, seventeen died from diphtheria and croup and 179 people from various forms of tuberculosis.
 In the report, the board says that there were $50 cases of smallpox re. ported in Connecticut during the last few months and only eight of the afflicted persons had ever been vaccin. ated. Not one of these eight had been vaccinated within fifteen years. It says that of the 239 cases of smallpox in Waterbury, not one was foreign born and that, of 20,o0o school children not one has contractei smallpox since the general vaccination was ordered during the holidays, although more than fifty had the disease before Janu- ary l.

HOTEL TO OPEN SOON
Canaan's Hostelry to Open with For
 mer Manager in Charge.

Mir. and Mrs. F. A. Baker arrived in town Tuesday, to once more take up the managemento of the hotel from which they went to Livermore Falls, Me-, about eighteen months ago.
 MT. Baker tells the News that he hopes to be ready for business in 8 couple of weeks. He finds there are some changes to be made in the interior; the most important of which is to remove a part of the partition between the writ ing room and the sample room just back of the present office.
 In these two rooms MT. Baker plans to serve meals, the front room to be equipped with tables for ladies' and mems restaurant in which meals can be had at all hours. The other room will contain lunch counter with a competent nan in charge who will look after the wants of those who want 8 quick lunch.
 The hotel proper will be conducted on the American plan. A new stock of table linen, china and table ware will be supplied as we'll as new outfit of bedding. so that practically the hotel starts with a complete new equipment.
 Not only the travelling public but Ca- naan citizens will welcome the open doors of the hotel. It has been matter of regret that the place has been closed for the past few months.
 The News joins in wishing MT. and Mrs. Baker success as they once more become part of the community, we hope they will find both regular and transient patronage even greater than the hotel enjoyed in former years.
