SCHOOLS TO REMAIN
SHUT ANOTHER WEEK
School Board Members Think Safety
First Is Best Policy Regard
ing Epidemic.

AS was expected, the school board.
at its regular monthly meeting YES
terday, voted to keep the schools
closed for another week or until the
epidemic is sufficiently checked to
avoid further danger of Contagion In
discussing the school situation, Chair
man b. f. Gaffney explained that thu
superintendent of health thought it
best to keep the schools closed for
another week and the board voted to
give Supt. S. H. Holmes the power
to reopen the schools when it is APP
parent that the epidemic is waning.
The schools will probably reopen on
October 81.
The board received communications
from Physical Director Moorhead and
from Principal L. 2. Slade relative to
military training at the High school
and 1t was voted to pursue q course
of this kind under the direction of Mr.
Moorhead. A favorable report on the
vocational high school was sent in to
the state by State Visior Martin Sny-
der, though he made a few recon-
mendaions to better conditions at the
academic school.
Secretary Farnham of the New Brit
ain Teachers club addressed a letter
to the board asking for an appropria-
ton of 500 toward the necessary eX-
pense of $3.50 or $500 to be paid Prof
William Fl, Fitzpatrick of Colum bia
who is to give a course of lectures
here. Treasurer L. Hoyt Pease ex-
planned that the school board is al
ready running behind it's budget and
the board voted to SO notify Mr..
Farnham in refusing his request.
Reports on conditions at the Aca-
demic High school and the Lincoln
street school buildings Indicated that
it will take about $4,000 to remodel
these structures to make them
more fireproof and of better use It
was also decided to charge out Of
town pupils attending the trade school
an annual tuition of $4,000. Other
items of a purely routine matter were
taken up.

Man From North Carolina Claims
Asafoetida and Whisley VIII Break
The Disease.

Charles Wick of Clayton Road, en-
ployed at the Bristol Brass Co., has
come forward with what he claims is
a sure cure for the grip or influenza.
So certain is Wick that his remedy,
(which he claims was used by his
mother, when he was q baby on
North Carolina plantation, will cure
that he has written TO President Will
son and also to Mayor QuigIey. He
has given his prescription to the presi-
dent with the suggestion that it be
tried in the camps, and to the mayor
with the advice that the people of
Netv Britain use it.
1'he remedy which Wick says will
cure the grip consists of a solution of
asaA oetida in whiskey. "a half ounce
of aisafoetida gum dissolved in half
pint of whiskey is the remedy. This
Shout be taken four times a day, he
says. in connection with a mild pur-
gatiVe.
According to Wick, when he was
child he was almost dead with the
grip when an old colored man visited
his hlouse and advised the use of the
above prescription.
