 Pleas

Dr. James C. Masien. a Danielson dentist. pleaded nolo contendere in the superior court at Willimantic, Tuesday, to a complaint in eight counts charging abuse of minor fe- males. He was sentenced to from s to l5 years on one count and one year on another count, the sentences to run eoncurrently.
 The dentists arrest followed the stories of little girls from eight to twelve years of age becoming known to the authorities. It appeared that the man had used his office as a place of assienation and that his attacks were all on little children.

The amount of the adjustment was not made known. A settlement was also reached in the case of Camille Lafiam me vs. Cleophas Lahamme. In the first action it was a son suing his father for the death of his wife, alleging negligence in driving the car. In the second case mother was suing for injuries Co her child.
 It was brought out by the testi- mony of witnesses that the party of six left North Grosvenordale to go to New Bedford. That the highways were icy and slippery and that on sev- eral occasions those in the car had requested the driver, Cleophas La hamme. to go slower. Plaintiff testi- fled that the car was being driven at 40 to 45 miles an hour.
 Pinned Under Car
 Just beyond Whittlesey's corner the car left the highway and tipped over. Mrs. Ade.ard Laflamme was pinned under the car. Tears filled her hus- bands eyes as he told the court how the heavy engine of the car was rest ing on his wife's head and how he tried and tried to relieve her until fin ally she died. The wife of the driver of the car was also killed. Other members of the party were more or less injured, one infant having it's arm and leg broken.

You must move poisonous wastes
out Of your system and keep them

and q wrong way. Pills, drugs and
ordinary cathartics give but tenn
porary relief-andtheir dose must be
constantly increased to be effective.
The great natural cleanser is
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. "A tasty
cereal, which brings you iron for
blood building-and, above all, cor
reefs constipation. The abundant
roughage in ALL-BRAN gently
and naturally sweeps out poisonous

You'll like the nut-like flavor OF

with it. At all grocers. Served in
