MISS MARY JOHNSON
 DIES IN HARTFORD In Charge of the Vacation House for Twenty
 Years

Canaan people will learn with sor- row of the death of Miss Mary Elizabeth Johnson of Hartford, on Saturday, June 10, 1922. .
 Miss Johnson came to Canaan in charge of the girls at the Vacation House for part of each summer since nineteen hundred, and the blessed influence of that character on the many gilrs she came in touch with cannot be measured.
 She was a woman of most wonder ful executive ability, and has counted much in the success Of this institu- tion from the first. Her good judg- ment manifested in business was characteristic of the woman. AL ways cheerful, full of fun and appre- ciative of a good joke made her popular with young and old.
 A woman of culture and refine ment with a we'll trained mind in literary attainments and of a poetic bend. A very interesting conversa- tionalist with facts and opinions of worth.
 Her large mind was accompanied with big heart, sympathy and kind ness went out in abundance. That the girls loved her for her companionship, sympathy and support was evident There was an unaccountable force in the personality that was evident to all. Her spiritual nature pre- dominated over all her talent and gifts.
 She has a very clear conception of the mystical and sacramental features of her religion, such as comes only through experience, meditation and strong faith.
 TKe talks" given to the girls were such as to lift them to better thinking and living. She created an atmosphere full of benediction, and as has been expressed by an older associate "Her spirit seems yet to hover about Vacation House.. It can very appropriately be said of her: She was a good woman, full of the Holy Ghost and of Faith.*

NORFOLK GIRL IS
 APPOINTED DIETITIAN
Miss Mary P. Nicoll to Assist in Tuberculosis
 Work

A Norfolk young woman, Miss Mary Parker Nicoll, has been ap- pointed dietitian at the Prendergast Preventorium for Children of the Boston Tuberculosis Association, To- cated at Mattapan, one of the out lying sections of the city. The pur- pose of the Preventorium is to take from their homes pre-tuDerculous children and care for them for a term of months. Pre-tuberculous children are those which have been living in homes in which there is an adult case of consumption. Such children do not give any of the customary symptoms of the disease, yet it is known that they furnish many recruits to the future armies of consumption. They usually mani- fest their weakness by a greater or less amount of under-weight. By taking such children out of their un- fortunate surroundings and giving them good care and life put of doors, they may be furnished with a sufficient reserve in the bank of good health as to resist attacks Of the disease probably throughout life. The preventorium is the "Stitch in time that saves nine."
 Miss Nicoll is a graduate of the Gilbert School in Winsted, specializ- ing in dietetics, following which she undertook postgraduate studies Tn the same subject under Dr. W. H. F. Emerson of Boston, from whose Laboratory she passed direct to her present situation. She has outlined the dietary for the children, who are permitted to eat all they wish of certain nutritious foods. The list IS varied, so that there are menus for every meal during the week. Strict account is made of the calories con- sumed, for statistical purposes. The children gained an average of one pound the first four days at the Pre- ventorium, and have appetites seem- ingly undiminished in the three weeks the institution has been open. Two and one half pounds in four days was the gain of one, little girl.
 It will be of interest to Miss Parker's friends to know that she has made good, impressing the camp committee with her abilities, and making herself great favorite with the children.

TOP. C. OF CATTLE CONDEMNED
398 Animals Among 3,o75 Are Or dered Slaughtered During May

Gut of a total of 3,075 native cattle tested by veterinarians in this state during May, more than 10 per cent or 398 were condemned and ordered slaughtered, according to the monthly report of Commissioners on Domestic Animals James M. Whittlesey. Thirteen of the total were put under quarantine.
 A total of 59O were imported for dairy and breeding purposes, while the number brought into the state for immediate slaughter was 989. The number retested was 462 and not a single animal reacted to the tuber- culin test. None of the imported cattle were put in quarantine and |, it was found unnecessary to kill any of them. For dairy and breeding purposes, >seventy-two permits were issued.
 Accredited herd certificates, in consequence of satisfactory tuber- culin tests, were given to thirteen herd owners, with a, total of 1855 head Official tubercu1in tested herds num- bered forty-fve, while the total num- Der of cattle concerned was 1175. First test certificates were given to forty-six herd owners of 719 cows.
 A total of 474 horses were inn ported to Connecticut during the month and 213 were retested. Treat ment for hog cholera was given to 454 swine, and 40 were treated for hemorrgagic septicaemia. Five in fected herds were uncovered through the tests. Two hundred and seven- teen hogs were imported.
 Effective quarantine measures had a good effect on the rabies situation among dogs, the figures show. The number captured was 449, of which 387 were killed. The number re- deemed was IA, while there were six prosecutions for violations.
 There were no cases of rabies dur ing the entire month, a fact which may soon lead to lifting of the quarantine in the central part of the state. Complaints investigated to- tailed 506.
