ONE PRISONER TOO FAT TO GET
 OUT OF JAIL

Torrington, Oct. 10-Henry Free man, Frank Mccall and Jerry Nitto escaped from the county jail in Litchf1eId shortly before $ o'clock yesterday afternoon by breaking the bars around their sleeping quarters. A fourth prisoner who also intended making his escape, was too fat to get through the space made by the breaking of the bars. He notified the jailer, Marvin s. Todd, of the flight of the other three. He delayed long enough, however, in notifying the jailer to allow the three who had succeeded in getting through the space to be well on their way.
 According to the authorities at the jail, plumbers had been working in the mems sleeping quarters and it is believed that the bars were forced with tools taken from the plumbers kit unknown to them. Freeman was awaiting trial for assault and theft and Mccall was awaiting trial on an automobile theft charge.
 Nitto is considered the most dan gerous of the three escaped prisoners, as he has a long criminal record. He was to have been tried on a charge of assault.
 The fourth prisoner whose size prevented his escape, is soon to be tried on a charge of theft of an au- tomobile.

Up on North Main stree, beyond the city line and above the Log Cabin, resides a. man named Hawley. For twenty years this man has been a respected and trustworthy em- ploye at the U. M. c. Co.,, working on the loading machines. We will now let MT. Hawley tell his own ex- perience. If you doubt it, veryify this story:
 For the past year I have been nervous and tired out, felt sleep all day and with no ambition. I could hardly drag myself around. At night I could not sleep, I was weak and rundown and the least exertion would start the sweat from every pore in my body. I was constipated and had rheumatism.

CLUB NOTES,

Dear Doctor:-
 Want to ask your advice regarding catarrh, which I am bothered with nearly all the time, but it is worse in fall and spring. My nose and throat are filled with mucus and I have an annoying cough. I am able to work every day, but the catarrh spells my ambition. Am 40 years old and have never been sick in bed. I have Vol, l of the Ho2ne Health Club books.
 -E. R.
 CAnswer) Catarrh of the nose and throat is the most common of all kinds of catarrh. For the reason that the trouble will reappear whenever conditions are right, it is a different ailent to treat successfully except by building up the powers of resistance to colds. The method of treatment called autotherapy is the only kind that increases the anti-bodies in the blood quickly and seems to have a permanent effect upon the mucous surfaces to such an extent that the cure is permanent. Autotherapy can only be given by physician that understands the process and tech nique and is equipped with the neces- sary outfit.
 For immediate relief in your case I would suggest that you send and get q copy of my Home Health Club book, Vol. ?, and follow the direc- tions given under the heading of home treatment for catarrh. This will relieve the stopped up condition of your nose in a, few moments and no drugs of any kind are used. You treat yourself. In the same book

her the herb ointment and applied it at once; then she made the boy drink a, great big cup of hot ginger tea, put a cold compress around his neck, melted two tablespoonfuls of vaseline and made him take it. Then she tucked him up in his own bed, put hot flat irons to his feet, opened the window and told him to go to sleep. This he did not do right away so she changed cold compress for a fresh one and then he went to sleep and was soon in a good precipitation. She continued to watch him until the doctor arrived and promptly diagno- sed the case as acute tonsilitis,
 But he was big enough and broad minded enough to add: of 1t had not been for the good work of your neighbor, it would probably have been penumonia before could pos sibly get here and you can probably thank her for saving your sons life He then picked up the wet trousers and stockings and gave the parents a brief lecture on what to do when children come in from play with wet feet or clothes.
 Many a little life might be saved if parents would see to 1t that the teacher of their children would at once send them home from school with a brief note whenever it was found that the little ones feet were wet. The foundation is laid for many cases of consumption in just such conditions as wet feet, followed by setting chilled while studying. Wet feet are not necessarily dan gerous if the person continues to keep warm through activity and re- moves the wet garments as soon as activity ceases.
 The various suggestions in this ar ticle would be applicable to the pre- | vention of the flu, but I have so many letters from all the country, i asking for special directions thst I will tell you about it next

-GUTE TONSILTTIS>-A very dis dressing and dangerous condition, and one that is all toe common and very care1essiy treated is the condition known as acute tonsiIitis. It attacks adults as well as children but is more frequent among the school chl- dren.
 - It is natural for a physician to eN- plain 8 condition of that kind in technical language, but that would mean but little if anything to most of you, Let us look at 1t from the stand point of an anxious parent that has as miles of Snow-covered roads be tween him and the doctor.
 John, aged Is, had lots of fun after school today, rolling, tumbIinS and wading in the wet, new snOw-a careless, happy boy---and he said nothing about his wet feet He sat near the window to study until 1t grew dark, then complained of chill dness and sat close to the stove until bed time, His face became flushed, fever was quite evident but a boy of that age dislikes special attention as to hls physical condition and to his mothers inquiry he would only admit a little tickling in his throat
 Even at that late hour proper at tention to common sense methods or precaution would have saved the boy as well as his parents much suHerinSr loss of time and money. Instead, he went to a cold room and to bed Ills clothes were still wet. He slept in his Cnderclothes, a thing no one should ever do. They also were still wet around the bottom of the legs.
 The proper thing to have done to prevent trouble was to remove all the damp clothing as soon as he came in from play, dry his feet well and put on dry clothes from feet to head. No further trouble would have occur red. This was not done before go- ing to bed, when the chill, the flush ed face and the tickling in the throat showed the trouble starting. The partly dry clothing should all have been removed and his feet put into very hot water and his throat, neck and chest thoroughly rubbed with our old standby, grandmother's oint- 1nent, followed by a cold compress around his throat; the trouble would have then been confined to slight cold, but this was not done.
 About midnight he could hardly swallow although there was a con tinuous desire to do so. He felt as though he was burning up but the slightest movement of the cover caused a chilly feeling, so he called his parents. They did the best they knew how, but they did not know how to do the right thing. They built up a big fire and got him into the warm room; he wanted cold wa ter and they gave it to him; he was worse at once. A drink of ice water at such a, time may cause pneumonia. If they had given him very hot water to gargle, relief would have been inn mediate. They did not have Vol. , of the Home Health Club books and knew nothing of herb rem edies, so they sent 25 miles for the doctor. After some people send for the doc tor, they think there is nothing more they can do and they sit and wait. Acute Tonsilitis does not wait, how ever, and the boy was getting so des- perate before morning that they sent for a neighbor.

TEA ECONOMY.

Every one is eager to haIve their bills. Here is a way to halve one of then-the tea bill. Instead of mak- ing your tea in the regular way in the teapot take exactly half the quantity you always use and make it in an enameled saucepan. The pan must be faultlessly clean, of course, Instead of pouring hot water upon the leaves, use cold water. Bring it quickly to a boil.
 The very minute 1t begins to boil, take the saucepan off the fire and strain into the teapot. You can serve as excellent tea this way as when made with the hot water Also, tea made this way can be relocated and will retain virtually all of it's or iginal flavor. Make the tea your self if you adopt this method of economy, for no one else will be as scrupulous about removing the sauce pan the instant it comes to a boil
 Never throw tea leaves away. They make excellent fertilizer for vegeta- b1e beds Or, if you have no garden, collect them for several days, damp them, wrap in newspaper and use to damp down the kitchen fire.

THE GREAT ADVENTURE
By Ira c Hopper, War yeteran.l
PART FOUR

With the first streak of dawn, we steamed into the French port of La HavPe. and a deep sigh of relief escaped from hundreds of fellows who had been strung to the highest nervous pitch all dur ing the tense hours of the trip across the English Channel. The anxious moments and constant expectation of submarine disaster during tie past night had left us peeyish. nervous, and care-worn. Being crowded on board ship un- til no standing room is left, hay ing no light to giveyou one single glinpse xoW neighbor face, steamin- straight ahead into pitehy darkness. knowing hidden enemies are everywhere watching for you, realizing how helpless you are against unseensubmarne attack, recalling all the sunken ships seen only a few hours be- fore. thinking constantly of Amer ica and loved ones now thous- ands of miles away-all these emotions, thoughts and realiza- tions hal swept over us and had tested or very souls 10 the break ing point
 Such |, the eXuberanee of youth however. that once our feet were upon soliG ground, our good spir- its instantly revived, and we joy ousty noted the things of interest about Us. So this was France. the land of our dreams!

By this time We were hating those rest camps where one had no rest at all. with all the ar dor of youth. Yet they seemed always to be around somewhere, every time you left the train or boat, and persisted in locating themselves several miles from their starting pointand in such places that the uphill hiking to them, with all equipment slung on their backs. was sorely vexing to the soul Of every American sol dier. And. also. you usually start ed the hike off such a camp in the middle Of the night or at a time of the day when you were most anxious for chow to be served. And. to, you were so busy moving

this, or fixing that, or shining up the other when in such camps, that you had no time for nothing else.
 Along the march we passed nu- merouS groups of Germanprison- CTS doing work around the docks and they seemed very interested in watching Us. They looked d. us in wondering way as if ask ing from where we came. and how so many of uS got by the sub marine blockade. Their blonde features and big stature contrast ed peculiarly with the swarthy and squatty French poilu who stood guard over them, carrying long rifle over his shoulder and looking at his prisoners as if he detested his job of guarding them.
 Near the edge of town we pass ed an American hospital, and wounded yankS lounging around the porches gave Us d glad vel come as We marched by. One lad shouted, Fellows, they gave Us hell, but we stopped their drive and started them back to Ser lin. Another said. they got 1 me pretty bad, but I'll be back in a few days now and give 'em hell again. And we were glad. so glad indeed that We were there.
