THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

One of the possible out>omcS of tne attempt to raise wages of city cm- ployes may be the return of pr. T. F.: RCclls. now Il member of the State Health Department. to his old post at the head of the local Board of Health, it appears from what may be heard about the streets. The doctor. him self. will make no statement. neither will those in authority on the board, but il is the feeling that the greater rCcompcnsr for work done. coupled with the attractions of the home city and a free hand in his old office, which has ;LIw:lys been his pet. will so draw the doctor that he will be unable to rcfusc the job when il is officially ten ucr,d him.
 Other candidates for the position may he learned, efficient men, but We believe that the addition of Dr. ItCcks 10 thc city staff again would prove of more ultimate benefit than any other applicant might bring about. The doctor knows New Britain and his heart is in his home town. His sense of duty is of the highest. therefore his, accomplishments will be the greater. He is an un1laggin% worker and well vcrscd in tho latest and most improved methods of municipal s;lnitn tion. Also, D" has had q number of years on the Stat" body 10 iii him for proper lcgis- latjvc work in connection with his du- ties.

It is not good business to hire ;t man. any man. at ;t high price for unknown Qualific;t- tons. withStandn& this fact there must be a sufficient appropriation made to Ire sure that the job is attrar- tive enough for a good man to under take. and il also must be borne in mind that there is no chanrc. in city worth immediately he has proven his usefulness in the job.

lNSANITARY CONDITION
American Red Cross Worker Thinks This Has Contributed Largely to Downfall of Siberian Army,

Tollo, Jan. 2.-That a chief cause for the recent rcVerses of the Sibcr- ian army was to be found in it's un- sanitary conditions was the opinion expressed recently by Colonel R. E. Teuslcr. American Red Cross com missioner to Siberia.
 Dr. TcuSler was speaking in the Russian embassy at a meeting of for ciSn residents who voted on the spot to form the "Tokio International As Sociation for Relief in Siberia" Eff teen hundred dollars were imm ediatc- ly subscribed as a nucleus for the re- lief fund.
 Colonel Tousler describing condi- tions said that bad sanitation both in the army and among the population, with the agonicS of starvation brought about extreme misery and a moral breakdown which was especially re- ticcted in the troops who felt that they had no support behind them. The minds of the population seemed to have become almost benumbed and . absolutely indifferent to what hap pened or to the suffering in others. Colonel TeuSler added that although such numbers of the people were starving there was sufficient food. but lack of transportation facilities pre- vented it's distribution where most needed.
