AS health officer. Dr. Griswold wishes to call the attention of the peo- pie of Berlin. and especially those parents having children in the schools. to tho fact that there arc now under quarantine n number of cases of diph- therta, and as many more of scarlet foyer In various parts of the town.

passengers to change cars at this point.
 From five until near nine o'clock in the evening all cars from New Britain to Berlin ran as far as Towers cor ner at the end of South Main street In discussion of the situation of the condition under the railroad bridge, a local resident said that the condition could not be remedied In as much as this is so he does not see why the town does not build a side walk under the bridge a few feet higher than the present one thus making it possible for the people to go under the bridge in case of such a storm.
 As it is now. the passengers in transferring must cross over the rail- road tracks in the best possible man. ner. This is an inconvenience as there are several older people who cannot jump over the fence and there is also the danger of being hit by the express trains as they pass by.

 Sluggishness, with many people, is a com mon trouble and a dangerous one. It is due to improper functioning of the organs of efiminatfor. and such improper functioning is freausntly responsible for the accumu lation of waste poisons in the body.
