 others. Started by, pr. T. E. Reeks three, years ago, and now being ably carried on by pr H. F. Moore, the department is one to which the citi- zens of this locality can point with pride. Clean milk, sanitary meats ant groceries, more cleanly stores an. soda fountains, immediate and skilled action to stamp out incipient epi- denies are but few of the good things being accomplished, and now i pr. Moore plans to go even further. by the possible establishment of tu- berculosis clinics, by the registering of restaurants and by a possible win ter drive against the mortality of the dreaded pneumonia. He has asked the cooperation of the Medical so- ctety in the establishm ent of tuber- culosis clinic and it Is hard to see how , they can refuse. To decline to give a little of their time and knowledge :, that the lives of these poor unfor- : tunates suffering from the great white plague may be saved or made easier is beyond comprehension, provided the plan outlined proves to be practical one, justifying lsuch action.

 another good move. But possibly the most important of the trio is the one to conquer pneumonia. This fatal winter ailment is known by the doc tors to appear in three different types and for one type. which, incidentally has the highest mortality, there is known serum which, when properly administered cuts down the death rate to most gratifying extent. Dr. Moore has made all preparations for bringing this remarkable treatment here and If, by it's use, even single i life is saved it will be we'll worth any expense or trouble.
 Chief Garrett J. Farrell of the Hartford police department has placed sign in headquarters, where it can be readily seen by all who the law, saying: "Go to work, go to war or go to jail.' This advice might apply to few in this com munity as well.
 With the approach of Christmas let parents beware of the dangerous Christmas tree candles and profit by the terrible examples of the past The tinseled ornaments and the highly in f1ammable nature of the Christnas tree makes an open flame a danger ous thing.
 Almost deserted now are the streets and club rooms where but a few short months ago were hundreds of young men. During the past few weeks particularly the past few days, there has been the greatest exodus of hi oi+1, tory of the place. Scores of young men, most of them between the ages of 21 and 31 years, have availed themselves of the last opportunity to enlist before the next draft. Although | New Britain will receive no credit for these enlistments in the next draft quota. the final records )f this great l war will show that the Hardware City has done far more than her share, re- lative to its percentage of popula- 1 ton, in sending out it's native sons to 1 the front.
 And in doing their bit the employees of the Herald have not been one whit l behind. From an office whose repor- torial staff numbered but seven men l when the war broke out this office has 1 sent eight men. Some who took the l places of others having since an- l swered the call. They are Robert c. | Vance who has been in active service l in France for the past six months and | who is now enlisted with the Ameri- 1 can army there, Johnstone Vance, en- l sign in the United States naval re- l serve; Irving E. Ellis, United States 1 naval reserve; First Lieutenant Thomas F. Jackson, United States. In- fantrv. Second Lieutenant William w. hn United States signal corps; Maurice D. Myers, signal corps, aviation sec tion: Daniel E. PouZzner, signal corps, aviation section; ahd Esmonde Phe- Ian ordnance coEps. Although the l loss of these men, men who had be- come proficient at their work through close association, has been severe h1ow to the reportorial staff, the paper is, however, proud of it's service flag.
