ALLOWS COMPENSATION
But Putnam Man Didn't Accept Med
 ical Services, So Loses Claim

In the workmen's compensation claim of Francis Tourville of 163 Providence street, Putnam, against the New York, New Haven and Hart ford R. R., Commissioner J. J. Don- ohue finds that Tourville is entitled to compensation but not for reimburse ment for his medical and hospital ex- penses.
 The employe suffered a hernia while moving machinery in a car at Allyn's Point on October 16, 1920, and went to Buffalo, N. Y., for an operation. He was discharged from the hospital as cured after thirty days.
 The evidence shows that disabil- ity of six weeks resulted from the in- jury and operation and that the claimant is entitled to compensation for that period, but as he did not ac- cept the medical, surgical and hos pital services provided and offered by the employer, but refused the same and sought his own, it is found that any bills so incurred are not charge able to the employer but to the claim ant
 The wages of Tourville were $33 per week, and the award is that the rail road company shall pay the claimant $99, which is compensation for six weeks at $16.50 per week.

PROBATION OFFICERS MEET
Scope of Service Has Broadened.-
 Great Work Being Done

Probation officers from all over the state gathered in meeting at the state capitol, Hartford, last ~week. Mrs. w. J. Bartlett attended from Putnam.
 The probation service is under the supervision of the Connecticut Prison Association, and is doing great work among first and juvenile offenders. When minor is arrested and about to be brought into court the probation officer is notified. It then becomes this officials duty to make an investi- bation in order to help the court in l its determination of the case. If the offender is placed on probation then the officer takes charge and watches the department of the person so plae- ed in his or her care and makes a rec ord which is submitted to the court at later date. If the offender does not observe the terms of the probation the officer may arrest him and bring him before the court for further dis position of the case. There is also a voluntary probation where parents or guardians may seek the help of the probation officer. The whole system is devoted to reformation rather than punishment and every community has been benefited by the system
 The state probation officers meet ings are always interesting, as expert ences are related by many who at. tend. Methods employed are discus sed and peculiar cases talked over.
 At the recent meeting light was thrown on the way the state is at pres. ent dealing with delinquents, espe. cially juveniles and first offenders.
 H. H. Spooner gave resume of the hard work that the probation officers are doing and urged united effort 1T getting before the legislature import ant measures to benefit the probation system. Short reviews were given oi work being done in some of the cite. in the state.
 Since the probation system was in 1 troduced it's scope has broadenet greatly. Many cases are now beins investigated and adjusted by proba tion officers without the publicity ant notoriety that comes from an appear ance in court.
 The system especially seeks to pro tect juvenile offenders. Many time a boy or girl may thoughtlessly 0 through a spirit of recklessness talk the first false step and then get int trouble. This also applies to adults In such cases the probation officer of ten is able to perform an invaluable service and the first offender is savet from again taking step in the wronl direction and becomes a law abiding American citizen Such work is in valuable to any community.

STOP IDLE COMPLAINING

Some people complain Of hard times
Notwithstanding the fact that many
Of them have money in a bank, own

nothing of hard times. True, values
have decreased, following the great
world war, but stop for a moment in
your mad rush of pleasure and think
what happened after the Civil war.
Those fortunate enough to re-
turn found waste and desolation, UNI
told obstacles to overcome, des-
perate struggle to make bare liv-

to work, builded and developed the

Toying the fruits of their labors. 1t

CORN FOR THE STARVING

Fifty million bushels of corn will
be the gift Of American farmers to
the starving millions in Central Eu-
rope, China and the Near East. The
grain is a free-will offering made
by the members of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, according
to a report which has reached the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture.
The action is characterized as a
most generous example of practical
charity. The farmer members will
furnish the corn; the railway broth
erhoods declare they will provide
engine and train crews free Of
charge; and it is expected that the
railroads will offer free cars for the

RHODES LECTURES ON
"THE MONEY QUESTION:

'UncEe Jake" Rhodes lectured Mon
day night at the Newllano Hotel on the
Money Question, and will deal with
this subject in series of lectures to
be delivered on consecutive Monday
nights at the same place at s o'clock
pm. The public is cordially invited
to attend these lectures and become in-
formed on one of the living issues of
the day. The following may help to
whet their curiosity:
The Comptroller of the Currency
reports that the bankers of this coun-
try have prospered during the hard
times. He says: THE shrinkage in
the value of our principal commodi-
ties and articles of production during
the fiscal year is the greatest in com
mercial history, not only in amount,
but in the proportion Of the decline

billions Of dollars Gloss to the common
people). But the national banking

only endured unshaken the phenomen-
al changes. but has prospered and
grown steadily in the midst Of them. .

LOYALTY TO THE COLONY


The Psychological meeting on Jam
uary II was devoted to the idea Of
loyalty to the Colony. Whoever en-
cages in any individual enterprise must
give his undivided attention and ef-
fort to make his personal business a
success. As matter of course, when
number Of people engage jointly in
any kind of an undertaking, it is just
as necessary that each co-partner give
his entire energy to make the associat-
ed business an unqualified success.
The word cooperation is derived
Z from two words, con" and opera, .
and means working together. In our
own case. it signifies that we are work
ing together of our own free will and
on our own initiative for a common
purpose. Here our whole heart and
soul ought to be engaged. Working
together with us involves more than
it does anywhere else.
Thousands and tens Of thousands
are working together at the behest and
for the profit Of capitalism. but we do
not dignity such kind Of working with
the inspiring word Of cooperation.
True cooperation in our case, means
something entirely different. 1t signi-
fies-th we are working for each 9th
er in perfect equity in complete OBJ
servance of the golden rule.
But while thus engaged we cannot
afford to be up in the air about it; on
the contrary, we must work in accord
with concrete conditions and such OPP
portunities and possibilities as are now
available. The ideal we are aiming at
and what we can accomplish now,
must not be confused one with the
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-02-03
FOOD, HEALTH, AND
SELF-cONTROL

By eating fresh natural foods you
will purify the blood and tone up your
entire system. Fresh vegetables and
fresh fruit should be freely eaten ev-
ery day White sugar and white
flour products should be used very
sparingIy, because they lack the very
valuable mineral elements with which
they were combined in the original
food form, and are therefore prone TO
favor constipation. Puffed or shredd-
ed wheat, corn meal. whole wheat
flour or rye flour, or other crushed
or ground grain foods help to keep
the stool normal.
Diete6c errors are largely response
bic for many chronic diseases. Most
sick people mix up their food in all
kinds of combination. They know
nothing of combining foods properly.
They think they need big lot Of nu-
triment, live up to that idea, and make
themselves sick. They don't do it
purposely and Wlltuliy, but err Tor
lack Of knowledge.
Self-control in eating requires that
enough food is ingested to fully nour-
ish the body, with no surplus to OBJ
struct the normal functioning Of the
vital processes and initiate diseases
Picked, cured and preserved food
stuffs are Of least value and should be
avoided as much as possible. Pelagra,
beri-beri, yea, even leprosy, are as
cribed as being largely due to devital-
lied and deteriorated ailments.
A selection Of proper food is abso-
lutely indispensable for the adolescent
and for those who aim to gain CONF
pIete self-controI over themselves.

SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE
BROUGHT MANY VISITORS

There were more than the usual
number of visitors in attendance at
the usual Saturday night dance last
week, the seats and floor being well
dotted with our LeesvilIe friends. The
dances are SO well run, and the music
is SO enchanting, that our neighbors
come regularly and are always vel
come.
The style Of the colony dancing is
the correct one and the people of this
section are realizing that there is more
enjoyment in real dancing than in just
hopping around, so they are taking in
the free lessons which are given every
Saturday night, beginning at 7:30
There will be no dancing class next
Saturday. as Mr.. Pickett, who in
structs this class. is to lecture in Rose
pine that evening.
