The food is of A No. l quality and the quantity given to each man is limited solely by his ca pacity.

 4 Hero Three Times Day.
 Far from the dust of cement, the rush of stone and sand, the machine gun staccato of drills and the chatter Of steam shovels and derriCks, is a man who is an important wheel, If not the handspring. Of the works. He Is Lawrence Rooney, chef, who was imported with single purpose-tc prepare good food, lots of food, for the workmen. Mir. Rooney has been chef at the Balsam hotel, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire - in the heart of the White Mountains--fol the past seven years. He has also been chef at other nationally known hotels. The Stanley Works wanted the best chef it could lay its hands on-Lawrence Rooney is 1t. From morning to night he plans, bakes cooks and stews with just as mucf sincerity as a mother with a biz family and If they don't like tho cooking they can say so--it's jus like home.
 "All the boys have fine appetites God bless them," said Chef Roone! to the Herald man. Its fact tha each of them eats more than thre' times as mich food as the average guest at hotel. It's a pleasure ti see them eat. You see, they worl hard and it makes them hungry. Sat isfying their hunger is my job, Judging by an inspection of the re l frigerator the kitchen and the din

BASEBALL PRACTICE
 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Twenty Candidates Work Out Daily.--O. F. Smith the
 Coach
Putnam Has Veteran Team.-Gift of
 Equipment Accepted

Twenty youths, candidates for places on the Putnam High school baseball team, are now praetieing daily at the high school diamond. Practice has been underway for week, and already the team begins to shape up well for the first game. scheduled for April 22 with Burriil vile High al Burrillyille. R. l. Sub master 0. F. Smith is coach.
 Putnam has an absolutely veteran team from last season and 1t will be hard job for any new corners to the squad to break in as regulafs this year. Sid King. Mike Hannifan and Ellis Pritchard covered the bases in order last season with Sylvio Dupre patrolling shortfeld. All of these look likely to hold their jobs. All of these are good infielders and ball players.
 Many Outfeld Candidates
 The outer defense last season was made up of St. Onge. Valentine and Murphy. Calhoun, Lynch. Aldrich or Farquhar might possibly break mi there. Murphy is the only outfielder who seems to have a secure hold on his position. Charley is almost fault less as a fly grabber and in addition is one of those lucky ball players who often comes through with hit when it Is badly needed. Lynch has also been tried at infield posts and may possibly land one of them. At least he will be good for a utility position.
 Ulcide St. 0nge will doubtless have the call over the others looking for job as catcher. He can catch, has a good peg to the bases, is a fairly strong hitter and has baseball sense.
 His experience in catching Gerard Cartier. captain and pitcher of the team, for several years. will stand both himself and the team in good stead. Cartier is certain to do the heavy work for the pitching staff. St. Onge. Dupre. and one or two others may also do some twirling.
 Gift of Equipment ! The school received this week a gift of some excellent and much need ed baseball equipment from the Car gill Trust Company. A letter ae.. companying the gift of four iielders' gloves. a catcher's mitt. first base mans mitt. three league baseballs ana five bats, is as follows:
 "The board of directors of the Cargill Trust Company have asked me to say that they heartily approve my statement of some weeks ago, that if the Putnam High school baseball team wins a majority of it's games the bank will contribute twenty dollars to the treasury of the athletic association.
 sln addition to the above they wish ta show their good will towards the boys of the Putnam High school. and they have secured il limited num- Der of supplies that they would like to have me present.
 ..The bats were secured through the courtesy of J B. Tatem < Son, and the other supplies were secured through the kind efforts Of Nathan D. Prince of Hartford.

The average length of life In the
United States has increased 10 years
since 1870, Surgeon General Cumming
of the public health service said in bis
annual report to congress.
Fifty-six years is now the average
span of life in America, according to
the surgeon general. This contrasts
with the Sixteenth century, when hui
man life averaged between eighteen
and twenty years, increasing to about
twenty-five years in the Eighteenth
century, and to between fOrty-five and
forty-elght years as late as 1900.
Tuberculosis and typhoid fever, the
report disclosed, showed some decrease
the last calendar year, both in cases
and deaths.
Diphtheria also declined, but de-
cided increase was shown in measles,
with 725,529 cases and 1922 deaths,
compared with 260,S03 cases and 1852
deaths in 1922
Special attention was given in the
report to whooping cough, which In
creased 60 per cent in the last two
calendar years, with an increased
death rate of "A per cent, most Of
