NURSE ENDS SEVERE COLD
 BY BYMETHODP0PULARH HERE
Home Use of Pleasant Hospital Method Helps Many Here End
 Head Cold, Cough, Chest Cold

New Britain people no longer feel miserable and needlessly risk pneu- monia by neglecting colds. For hospital doctors have made it tempting to end colds promptly at home by a quick method used to help reduce fever, remove conges- tion and clear out the cold.
 Miss Alice Ryan, hospital nurse. contracted a severe head and chest cold. Examination by the doctor showed a pulse of S6, respiration 70 and temperature 100.
 Within a short while after the doctor gave her double strength doses of Ayers Pectoral she was surprised to find how quickly the cold started to clear up. That night she slept comfortably and woke up feeling greatly relieved. When she returned for medical examination the next day, her temperature. pulse and respiration were normal again and Cherry Pcctoral had cleared up the cold completely.

Youths Case Cited

Meriden, March 3 (UP) - The story of Ernest Fraser of Hartford, whose 16 year old brother. Robert, died while an inmate of the State School for Boys here, was added to- day to the growing list of charges involving school employees in alleg- cd brutality.
 Robert Fraser died three years ago at Meriden hospital, delirious and raving about the Deatings he had received, his brother told news papermen. Pneumonia was record cd as the cause of death.
 Fraser's story has been told to the state board of public welfare, which is Investigating the charges.
 Robert never was very strong" ?" said his brother. ''so they put him to work in the kitchen. The Sun day before he died he had d bad cold, but they kept him at work and lashed him on a board because he complained he was unable to set the table. He was beaten three times that week. The last time was on Saturday.
 "The next day he dropped while at work" Ernest Fraser continued, ''and was taken to the hospital un- conscious.
 Ordered Out of Doors
 "On the day of his last beating he was ordered out of doors. It was winter, of course. and was terribly cold. We were notified when he was taken to the hospital but he didn't recognize mother or me. He kept raving about beatings.
 There were two nurses there and they saw the marks across his back. They told us he had been beaten to death, even while very ill., But they were afraid to say anything official ly because they said they would lose their jobs.'
 Fraser said he was afraid to in- tcrvieW Superintendent Edward s. Boyd for he would take the law into his own hands"
 Developments over the weekend included a statement by Governor John H. Trumbull that he had ask cd for a report from the trustees and might take action after receiv- ing the report. The governor indi- Cated also that three other state de- partments having jurisdiction over the state school might move to do away with it's allegedly antiquatcd methods and facilities.

The cult and reference to divine manifestations threaded the testimony throughout the six weeks of trial as witness re- vealed the belief and practices of the cult, which had it's headquart- CTS in an isolated section of Santa Susana mountains, near here. Dab ney, Mrs. Blackburn testified. gave her funds when she assured him he would be her candidate for the "second messiah" whom the cult was to elect after the publication of the book
 Dabney made his complaint 10 the district attorney last October. An official inquiry into the activities Of the cult began immediately and resulted in the discovery of the body Of q young priestess, Villa Rhodes, buried beneath the floor Of her foster parents home.

 QuiCICy Announcement Expected
 Withdrawal of Judge Stanley J. TraceSki from the group being con sdercd as potential candidates rc- moved one of tho strongest contcnd-' CTS. in the opinion of political ob- servers. Tho judge, it is claimed, would have been assured organiza- tion backing and heavy vote in the uncertain fifth ward, which is the Polish district.
 Formal announcement Of the Quigloy candidacy is expected this week. Meanwhile. the former mayor and his friends are sounding his strength in the wards and among groups which make up the City's electorate.
 IL is almost certainty that he will not have united backing of the so-called republican organization, but it. is also assured that some of the influential members of that group will openly ospouse his candidacy. His strength appears to lie in rather powerful personal organiza- tion. the effectiveness of which has been shown on several occasions, and in his ability to cut into the demo- cratic vote.
 Nair'S stand Indefinite
 Alderman David l.. Nair of the first ward may enter the primary contest, although nothing definite as 10 his mayoral aspirations could be learned in an interview today.
 For the present l have nothing to say. X large number of my friends and acquaintanCes have sug- gested that l run, but as yet l have made no dccision,' the alderman de- clarcd.
 Attorney Nair has been a mem- Der of the common council for eight years, four years as a councilman and four years as an alderman. Dur ing absences of the mayor from the city, he has been the acting mayor on several occasions.

 Another question which is de- pendent on the French return is that of the humanization of sub- marines. The other four delegations have gone as far as they can in pre- pairing draft treaty without the presence Of the French.
