tract consisting OF some IL or 10 acres,
to go untitled in 1918. Some Of the
poison. he said. was found on the sur
face and some deeper in the earth.
SINNERS, who was called as a wit
ness by the defendant. Sheriff y. S.
Peterman. in whose custody the Tama
county farmer was when habeas cor

MANY CHILDREN ARE ORPHANS FROM 'FLU'
Annual Report of Charity Board Shows That Many Lost Parents

The annual report of the board of charities indicates that the Gepartm ent has been very busy during the past year. Owing to the influenza epidemic a large mum Der of children became or phans and sought aid. The efficient work of the Day Nursery which was established during the year, received favorable comment in the report
 The report, in part, follows:
 The total amount appropriated to the department for the year was S54,- +o6.16. Our expenditures have been $40, .31 The amount collected on accounts and turned into the city treasury was s6,685.5 57 Deducting this ,

amount from the sum totaol expended the entire expense of the department for the year was $42,669.74 The sum of $5.000 of our appropriation was transferred to other departments, and the unexpcndcd balance of s5O.S5 was returned to the city treasury.
 With the exception of our running accounts With lnstitutions, other towns. tradesmen and the like, the in debtedness of the department at the close of the year was $5,3S172. all of which have been paid when this report goes 10 press.
 "Our general expenditures for the town homo and the outside poor for the year exceed those of the preceding year about $900, which is due to the increased cost of food supplies. feed for live stock, coal, repairs and mate raIs of every kind.
 "On account of the prevailing high prices we have been obliged to in- crease the amount of our grocery or ders issued. to the outside poor about 100 per cent, which, of course, dou- bled the expense.
New Britain herald., 1919-06-13
Collections For Year.

Our collections for the year were $1,993.23 less than the preceding year, and s314.43 less than the estimated income of the department.
 "On account of the lack of employ ment since the war ended we were obliged to render temporary aid to few persons or families for a short time only.
 As a result of the influenza and pneumonia epidemic, which wrought such havoc among the poor of the city, together with desertion, insanity, in temp arance and high cost Of living have forced many hitherto self-sup- porting persons to appeal for a i'd from public charity.
 The number Of outside families as- sisted during the year was 147.
 The number of inmates in the town home on April 1, 1918 was sixty seven. The number of admissions for the year was 12S. and the number dis charged was 123, number of deaths, eleven, and number of inmates on March 31, 1919, was siNty-one.
 Every case of need or destitution reported to our office during the year was investigated and if found dcserv- ing of aid it was rendered.
 "In compliance with the city ordi- nance which requires our office to work with and accept assistance from churches and private charity agen- cies, we have referred many cases to them for temporary aid, which has lessened public charge and spared the public treasury. For this co-opera- ton we wish to express our thanks
 The poor of the city were never better cared for than during the past year. when so many agencies were working among them.
 Day Nursery Established.
 The New Britain Day Nursery, which was established within the past year, and is now under capable man. agement has. we trust, come to stay, as 1t provides for children under school age and permits mothers and others who wish to be self-supporting to be so.

A recent dental clinic in New York city showed a number of wonderful new ad- vances in dentistry, but most of all 1t proved how little the average man knows about the work done to his teeth.
 For instance, how many patients aware that half the hard cement filings known porcelain cements" artificial channels, are spoiled by heating when the dentist trims them into shape with his whirling disk? If the dentist greascs his disk with cocoa butter some other lu- brcant, heating harm results. Heat causes the filling to expand in the cavity and later in contracting. to pull away from the tooth and leave space for saliva and decay to enter.

"THE RABBITS TOYS"

Billy wasn't worried; he was having
o lot of fun aboard the rushing I'm
derground express.
Gee whillikers, we're going fast I"
he gasped. Wouldn't there be a biz
smash-up If we met another train in
this tunnelH' -
And just as Billy said this, tk5 was
a smash up. The Gopher Express hit
another Gopher Express head on. Peggy
banged into the gopher, Billy banged
Peggy, and Judge Owl banged into
Bill ". In an instant all was excitement
and confusion.
Usually when two trains hit oacb
other, the damage is all done in one big
crash, and then the wreckage lies quiet
and still. In this wreck on the Mole
Underground Railway things were dif :
ferent. The gophers had met nose to
nose, and any boy knows that a thumn
on the nose makes one fighting mad
So, forgetting that they were engines
on the Underground Railway, and re
membering only that they were gophers
with smarting noses, they pitched into
each other full tilt. In an instant the
tunnel became a smother of dust and
flying fur.
Billy and Peggy were thrown against
the side of the tunnel, the wall gave
way, and they found themselves tum
bling down dark, dark hole.
'Jiminety, we're goners now," cried
Billy. The words were hardly out of
his mouth when they stopped with a
bump. But it was a soft bump--as If
they had landed on cushions. Then
came a second bump as Judge Owl
tumbled down on top OF them, and a
third bump as the cushions came TO life
and bounced them off.
They were in a den with wild ami
mails
Judge Owl, who could see in the dark,
was first to lind out what the wild ami
mails were.
