 A case ivesntigated Friday by Agent Young, was that of a young girl nine years old, who was seriously afflicted with a tubercular knee. The case was one of long standing and the child was not receiving treatment Owing to the filthy condition of the wound. the child had- been excluded from school She
 could walk only with the aid of a
 crutch and has been this way for five years.
 The father of the child refused to
 have her removed to 2 sanatorium, but after the interview with Agent Aouns cided it would be best to do so. Arrangements will be made for the girl to be placed in the Crescent Beach sanatorium at an early date. Saturday Agent Young was in, New London and ia company with the -ocaI agent, William Swezey, went on severa cases. Animal complaints which were in vestigated resulted in three horses being i taken from work for various reasons. On' i pair had shoulder gals and the thirl horse was worn out from work.
