DRYING Clothes I'm the O
O. IL has often come 70 my mind
as to whether IL gives . hsaltnful
atmosphere to dry clothes in the
house where there Is stove heat or
whether such a proceeding produces
a condition that makes n take
cold more easily. Can you advise
me?
A. I do not think drying one or
two articles by the stove would
have any bad effect on the atmos-
phere of the room. However. If so
many articles are drying that the
sir' is saturated with moisture and
the room seems steaming most of
the time. / do not thisg this is good
scs- either you or the baby.
BIcpharitis
q. My eyelids are inflamed. or
&c; lepharitis' as physicians call 1t.
Please give advice as my eyes are
in X bad condition.
A. The blepharitis you describe
should be carefully treated until the
lids are quite we'll. The condition
msy indicate some serious eye
trouble which you should have
treated at once. / should advise
you 10 go to an oculist or to h eye
clinic of the best hospital in your
city.
Nitrate of Silver for
q. Please advise me whether or
not nitrate of silver will do n
harm to a wound? What is the best
thing to do to keep a wound open
so that it may drain. as when IT
heals IL gives considerable PAIN, and
when open not near so much! rms
Is an old sore, the result of an IN
Jury.
' A. Nitrate of silver is usually ap-
piled to a wound to destroy excess
sive g%ranulation of tissue; that Is
"proud flesh" Good judgment is
required in the use of this caustic.
A common method of keeping a
wound open so that 1t may drain Is
by inserting a wick of gauze. or,
perhaps, a small piece of rubber
tubing. / would urge you to seek
qualified medical attention at once.

BEDDING

Bedding. Oct 2S.-As the result of a justice trial held in the Community { house on Monday, Robert Nichols, aged 21. was bound over in $500 to stand trial before the Superior court for burglary and sentenced to 30 days in jail for theft; Bernice Riley, Is,
 was committed to the Industrial
 School for Girls, and her brother Earl, 13, was sent to the Connecticut
 School for Boys. All are co1ored.
 The prosecutions arose from two burglaries, Nichols being accused of 2 breaking into Joseph Bussers store last Friday night and stealing a ham
 and a bag of flour, and these being
 brought home to the younger defend ants, the offense of effecting entrance to the dwelling of Cornelius Keefe
 during the daytime on Friday and the stealing of two bags of potatoes and about 30 pounds of pork. Nichols has lately been boarding with the

passing the shooter in his car in Easton last Friday evening on his way to Brid geport to bring back the Coun- tess Turezynowicz. A moment before the first shot he caught a glimpse of some dark object in the bushes, its outline not being clearly disclosed At the same instant there came the report and an upward shoot of flame. His impression is that the flash was too perpendicular to indicate an aim a the car. He would be inclined to the theory that a coon in tree top
 was the target except for the s fact that a revolver is not the weapon
 usually used in coon hunting. The
 scene of the shooting was a point
 about half way between the home of Ida M. Tarbeu and the site of the
 former paper mill
 While Irving Patterson and his
 wife, who live at the former Edna
 ley, were in the field picking up
 apples last Thursday some one en-

After the lat ter had made some small purchases the three fingered around until Busser left in his car to deliver goods. In his absence the store was entered through a window which was pried open. The RileyS testified that Nichols did the entire job while he swore that they did it with no assist ance from him. The party hired an auto to take them home, loading in the bag of Busser plumber at the top of the hill near the store and after wards stopping near the keefe house to take on board the pork and pota- behind stone fence. Mrs. Riley testified that Nichols owed her for two weeks board and that she sup posed lie came by the goods honestly timony was to the effect that while they were around the B,1sser store Friday night Nichols asked her if she knew where Busser kept his money. "No," she answered, ''why? ?" He re- piled that he would like to get hold of it so as to make a trip to Danbury
