 The Subarraque solution, not ap- proved by all physicians. is recognized by others as being the most effective ever known. This solution has been recommended and applied by Dr. Pat rick Cassidy of Norwich in his practice for more than 40 years. and applied by practically the same method now adopted for the applica ton of the Carrel- Dakin solution in France Dr. Cassidy applied his favorite solution successfully when treating Dr. John Weldon, formerly of Willimantic, who sustained severe X-ray burns IS years ago, and saved amputation.

of romance. l. was only short time before young Barber went to Camp Deyens when the marriage occurred, Thursday that she believed she had a legal right to enter upon matrimony. A, private complaint was filed by Louis La Fontaine, the former husband, when he learned of the marriage with Bar Der before his responding to the draft and departure for Camp -Beyens. The complainant was represented by State Senator stephen J, Carey of Richmond.
 The story told the district court was that Mrs. Barber had from a news paper clipping of the ,doings of the superior court for Washington. county, believed herself absolutely free from La Fontaine soon as announcement was made that her petition for divorce had been granted. The law of the state, however, provides that final decree cannot be entered for six months after the courts decision, Barber or anyone else. The final de- cree was entered Oct A. just a week before she was .haled into the district court.
 According to Samuel ". K. Allen, counsel for defendant it was through mistake in her interpretation of the jaw that she married Barber, her sec ond husband. before a final decree had been entered n the court, after de cisiOn in her favor had :been granted nearly two years. by the superior court for Washington county in a contest based on neglect to provide and cru city.
 Mrs Barber in the district court told her story in a straightforward man. Ter, which elicited the statement from Judge Gorham that he did not believe she had intended any wrong. therefore he gave her probation. Senator Carey, counsel for La F'ontaine. declined to make any recommendation He said a motion would he made in the superior court to set aside the decree. when the custody of aT4 year old child would also be considered. All the parties to the case were in court. as were also many friends of the woman in the case.
