 Ills. Dr. Sze Assures

New York, March S0.-Dr. Saoke Alfred Sze, Chinese minister to the United States, and representative of China at the recent opium confer ence held in Geneva, said last night that 1t was unfair to blame China for opium ills, as was generally done.

ID. &L." Chats U A Small Brook Can
 Quench A Thirst As
 We'll As A Big One

Two men, while roaming around the woods became quite thirsty. They met another man and inquired as to where they could get a drink of water. He told them they were not far from two Brooks; one a big one and the other somewhat smaller.
 The smaller Brook was nearer, so they stopped and satisfied their thirst. Then they took a nap. Upon awakening they again felt a bit thirsty, but went to the big brook for a drink. Aft CT taking a cupful, they real ized that the water from the big brook wasn't any better than the other water.

 Scarlet Fever Exists SPRING CLEANUP DRIVE
Marccllus Smith Dics-Plainyillc "A" Team Loscs-Joscph ColcIIa lnjured--Leglon Show Tomorrow -Gypsics Make visit-Items.

-Gypsics Make visit-Items. That PlainVille citizens have CO., operated with the local health au- thorities Is shown by the report of Health Officer George Cook, who states that during the month of March there were only two cases oi diphtheria and that at the present time only one case of scarlet fever exists. This patient, however. is well on the road to recovery so that it is expected the quarantine will be re. moved in the near future.
 The town of Plainville has had an unusually small number of cases of communicable diseases during the last winter months. For this req son much credit is due the citizens who have worked in the closest har. mony with Dr. Cook.
 Dr. Cook has now directed his at- tention to the annual cleanup cam paign which will be held during the first two weeks of April. Local pro- perty owners are once more urged to make conscientious effort to see that ashes and rubbish are removed from their premises so that with the advent of Easter the appearance of the town will at least be as good as that of any other town or city of the state. This is Dr. Cooks goal.
