HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
Is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly throuGh
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds - common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
Ap your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise IN the open air, and good
food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all, keep. free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining OF the air pas
saces and render them much better
breeding places for the germs Use
Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign
OF q cold. For head cold. melt lit
tIe VapoRub In a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub In a benzoin steam kettle. II this
ia not available, use an ordinary tea
Kettle. Full half full OF boiling water.
mt In half a teaspoon OF VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
lust slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE: Vick's vapoRub is the dis
covery OF a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form. Mentho1 and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs. etc, so that when the salve IS
applied to the body heat, these tnSre-
dents are liberated in the form OF
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York state and New England anu
few western states, where It Is just
now being introduced, but in other sec
tons OF the country It Is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
over six million iars were sold last
wear. It is particularly recommended
for chiIdren's Group or colds, since't
is externally applied and therefore eh
be used as freely as desired without
the slightest harmful effects. Vapo-
Rub can be had In three sizes at all

TOO WEAK TO TESTIFY
orrin Alvord Not in Condition to Give
 Information to Coroner.

Coroner Arthur G. Bill went to Day. vile Wednesday to take the evidence Of Orrin Alvord, in the matter of the
 grade crossing accident at Dayville last Saturday night.
 Coroner Bill found upon his arrival at Dayville that Alvord's condition had not sufficiently improved to- warrant proceeding with sthe, inquest, in 50 far as the injured man was concerned, so Mir. Bill returned hero withcus press ing the matter. 4-. While AlvorG is steadily improving his condition is such as to make it nnwise to ask special mental. effort oi him. He has rot yet. been informed of Mrs. Narchesseault's death, the re- suit of being hurled from the car which he was driving when the ma-
 chine was struck by the boat train.
 May Be in Front Line Trenches. Stories have gained circulation here within the past day or two that an infantry regiment of which a number of Killingly men are members, has been moved up for service for the, first time in front line trenches in France. There may or not be ground for this statement, which is said to be based on the reading of part of one sol-
 dier's letter that had been censored, but not to the extent of preventing the reading of 1t by the person to whom it was addressed here
 l The war is made to seem more real
 and terrible. too; by the statement that
 the company, that left here last July lis about to move on another stage of the journey that will eventually bring them to the front. This does not mean
 that they are about to go overseas at
 once, but that day is not distant and ir is believed here now that the com
 pany will be lover there" early in the lspring. ~

from taxes on bank stocks between
 the taxing districts of the town, and
 it will be further claimed that the borough is such a taxing district with i in the town of Killingly, because res idents who own property within the limits of 9Danieisons are required to pay a. borough tax of quite .consid- erable proportions, this in addition to paying, the same rate of town taxes as is paid by. taxpayers who are resident in the town but not in the borough. The borough will make a claim, it is asserted, for recovery of it's propor- tion of the revenue mentioned over period back to the year 1900 The amount received by the town since 1 that time from taxes on bank stocks has varied and grown, but, amounts for tic long period to approximately 1 $500 .ft 1t
 Town and borough oficials are ap- preaching consideration of the matter l in 8 friendly spirit, but it now ap- pears quite necessary to bring the
 the matter before a judge of the su- | rerior. court for proper adjustment. l Points that must be decided are as ] to whether the borough is legally a taxing district within the town of Kil- | lingly and as to whether the borough's l claims for a share of the bank stock
 taxes are valid over period of more than six years.
 | It was stated Wednesday that At torney Charles B. Searls of Putnam
 has been retained to represent the l borough in the action that may be | brought in the near future, possibly at the March term of court.

The badly decomposed body of a
 man. who could rot be. identified was
 removed about 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the mill canal, near the plant of the Manhasset Manufac- turing company, by men who discover ed ii floating in the water.
 The indications were that the body had been in the water for a consider able period of time and it may save l.come from distance up stream. but [ this is not certain, s
 The man was about feet 6 inches in height and apparently from 45 to 50 years of age. He had a smooth shaven face and his head was entirely without hair. He wore a coat, vest
 and two pairs of trousers and there was a gold watch chain attached to his vest, but the watch was missing. His feet were clad in felt boots with rubber foot parts. That the man was a Roman Catholic was indicated l by g. scapular that he wore.
 1 The body was viewed by Medical Examiner F, A Morrell, M. D., and afterwards was removed by L.. E 1 Smith.
 1 Wednesday evening the body was l identified as that of Henry Ravanelle 1 61 who left his home on Elm street l in this city early one evening about the middle of last November and has never been seen since. There will be an inquest this morning.

 Boys and girls in' school spend about 1000 hours at the school. What is done with the other three thousand It is the purpose of the Junior Food l Army. to afford all boys and girls 1T
 the state an opportunity to take ar active part in the greater production and conservation work. This will give boys and girls a chance to. make definite" contribution all their own ! to demonstrate that although they I cannot fight they may help feed ths l fighters.
 The activities which may be carried out under the Junior Food Army va " in the amount of time and materia required. and this work can readily be accomplished in addition to othel 1 duties. The work of production will consis of the raising of corn, potatoes gen
