A resume of the work done by his department during the entire year is contained in report sub nitted to Mayor Frank Hayes by Dr E. J. Godfrey, health officer. 4 total of $7,137 was expended for milk for school children, five school doctors worked in pre-school clinics, vaccinated 273 children. conducted physical examinations and did other health work; two or dinances were sponsored concern ing the sale of ethyl gas and the prohibiting of wood alcohol as an anti-freeze; a decrease in diph- theria and scarlet fever was noted: and many more facts feature the report.
 Dr Godfrey recommends an ad- ditionai health nurse, another den- tai hygienist, a part time laboratory worker and the placing of the handling of tuberculosis patients, now being accomplished by the ti-Tuberculosis society, under the direction and management of the health department.
 The report, in part, follows:
 Changes in Personnel
 The personnel was increased by the appointment of three school nurses and five medical inspectors. ono substitution was made in the staff of the medical inspectors due to the resignation of one originally appointed.
 School MIX Fund
 This very humanitarian work was begun during the week of November goth, 1880, and contin- ued until June, 1881. A plan was evolved whereby those children who could not afford to buy milk would be supplied and those who could afford 1t would receive 1t at a nominal price. A school milk fund was established with pr Michael c. Donovan, secretary, and myself, treasurer. Dr Donovan wrote personal letters to those whom he thought would be willing to donate to the fund. Several as- sociations and societies also gave donations. The total amount of cash amounted to $13.664.62; prl- vate donations amounting to $7,- 137.S7, and $6.526.75 being col lected from the school children. The milk was delivered In h pint bottles. Tn one record week 21,732 bottles were distributed. This work Is heinz resumed during the 193I- 1s3o season. I want to thank the mayor, Dr Donovan, donators, milk men, principals, teachers, nurses and all others who cooper ated to make this work the success it ie.

 The youths shoulders sagged and he dropped into the rocker and looked around for the Bible sent him by Mrs Mildred Kerrison, Rockford woman.
 8here were marks on a passage in the book of St Luke where the Bible was opened. The passage was:
 Judge not and Ye Shall not be Judged; Condemn not and Le Shall not be Condemned; Forgive and Ye Shall be Forgiven"
 Russell re-read the passage. It was like e discovery to him.

 Russell has scores of letters from men, women, boys and girls aii over the nation. Some letters from girls are "mushy" and make him out e hero. Russell Is not de- luded.

 backing Selectman Frank Rossi. Both sides are confident of victory. In addition, slates involving the lesser offices in the United club are also being prepared.
 A year ago the United club at its annual election was the scene of a bitter battle in which ballots were not the only things cast. A bitterness between the two factions has continued ever since, hence the test of votes that is promised when the annual election occurs In few weeks. At the present time much campaigning is going on quietly. Some reports favor DeCicco. others favor Rossi. The latter will relin- quish his place on the board of se- lectmen on the first Monday of January. He was not renominated nt the z. o. p. town convention in September because of his desire to become a member of the board of relief. He was nominated for the latter board but lost out in the. city election.

 Sensing the trouble among the Italian republicans, representatives of Congressman E. w. Goss have made attempts to quiet the battle by bringing about a consolidation of the United and George Wash ington clubs. Both clubs have been at odds since the latter one was or- ganized.

pro tempore Moses, author of the epithet, but unless all signs fail, he will continue to occupy that digni- fled office.
 The progressive republicans will vote against Moses but not for his democratic opponent. Thus they will salve their honor and at the same time stay with the party. There will be no majority for Moses nor for his opponent, Sen- ator Pittman, democrat, Nevada, so Moses will continue in the chair. That will please him.
 If, as Is expected; the progress sives vote for a third candidate, Moses might get 40 votes and Pitt man 45. A majority would be 4S, which neither could command.

(Note)--Births naturally do not include stillbirths.
 (Note)-Records of births and deaths not all filed at the town clerks office.
 In acquiring the death rate and the birth rate the latest U. s. cen- sus population figures are used. The death rate this year shows an in- crease of 1.2, the rate for 1890 be- ing 8.6 and the rate for 1881 be- ing 9.8. The birth rate this year is the same as 1880, namely, 15.4, but the birth rate for 1890 was based on a population of 111.734 while that of 1881 was based on the new census figure of 101.100. Der of births for 1891 was 1563 compared to 1725 for 1890. Not withstanding the fact that there were eight less deaths under 1 year during the year 1881 than In 1880, the infant mortality rate shows an increase of 1.6, the rate for 1880 being G9.6 and the rate for 1881 being Fl.
 Dairy, sfilk and Food
 The work of tuberculin testing Is still being carried on, along with inspections of dairies and milk plants. The dairymen and local milk dealers have willingly cooper nted with us to secure 0 good milk supply for the city of Waterbury.
 During the year 3,407 head of cattle were killed at the slaughter houses. One of the sanitary inspec- tors was on hand at all times of slaughter. Approximately 1,500 pounds of meat were ordered des- troyed due to lesions.
 Slaughter House
 During the year this department received a notification from Dr Ed win Readc, health officer of Water town. that the slaughter house owned by II. & J. Arbes and oper- ated in Watertown would be closed and no more slaughtering per mitted there. pr Reade allowed us until october 1st to either secure another building or rent one for such purpose. Considering the times and the economical program now being. put to use by the city administration 1t was decided by the board of commissioners of public health to rent a building To- cated in this city. but isolated from habitation.
 Recommendations
 Bearing in mind the economical method under which our adminis- tration Is functioning and also considering present depression am obliged, through necessity. to recommend the appointment of an additional public health nurse, an- other dental hygienist and a part time laboratory worker.

By Logan Clendening, M. D
Infantile paralysis is an in
lection. 1t particularly affects
the nervous system, but it is a
general infection also.
All general infections result
in fever. Many cases of in
fantile paralysis have a fever
without any paralysis at all. In
any case, they all begin with
fever.
Therefore, especially during
an epidemic, any child who
comes down with a fever and
shows lassitude and irritability
should be suspected of having
the disease.
This is very important because
the prevention of paralysis by
the use of convalescent serum
is best accomplished in the early
stage.
Does No Harm
The convalescent serum does
no harm. Even if the child
does not have infantile par
alysis it does no harm. It
should be given to every sus-
pected case in the early stage.
Especial reasons to suspect a
sick child "a child with fever)
of having infantile paralysis
are given by authorities as:
/. Prostitution out of proper
ton to the temperature.
2. Mild redness Of the throat.
8. An anxious expression, and
irritability, and rapid pulse.
4. A coarse tremor or move
ment of muscles.
S. The head tilted back on the
neck.
6. Stiffness of the spine and
pain when attempts are made to
move the spine.
The serum used is the blood
serum Of any person who has
= had the disease. It is given in
the spine and in the vein both.
Disease Course Cut
In the series of cases carefully
studied it was shown beyond
doubt that it shortened the
course of the disease. The cases
which had the serum early had
far less paralysis than those
who did not have the serum.
After the attack has subsidized
the amount of paralysis that eX-
lists is always more than its final
extent. There is a widespread
Inflammation in the cord dur
ing the height of the disease
which affects more muscle
groups than are actually finally
paralyzed. With every day that
passes one or more muscles re-
gain their power of movement
It takes three to six months to
determine the exact amount of
paralysis that is finally left.

atty. Every old person meet
takes a liking to me. But not
once has a boy asked me for a
date. This is what I cannot
understand. I am inclined to
be a little bashful, but not
nearly so backward as some girls
I know who have steady friends.
1t has been always my wish
to some day be a wife and
mother, and have a little home
I could call my own. There is
nothing I like to do better
than prepare a good meal. It
makes me sick to see how the
young men go crazy over a girl
who knows how to do nothing
but dance, paint and powder.
The girl who would really be
a good home-maker is left out
too many times. LONELY
I know it is hard to under
stand how boys pick out the
vain little flappers (Who appar-
emily don't know anything at
all about running home) in
stead of the sensible, capable
girls. But have you ever no
ticed that these little flappers
often become very good house
keepers after they are married?
Perhaps in your case, you
have been too much with older
people. Try and cultivate the
girls of your acquaintance, go
out with them and entertain
them at your home. Invite
their boy friends, too, ana, as
you are a good cook, get up
a jolly little supper. These
girls and boys, when they see
you are sociable and good COM
pany, will be delighted to find
you are a promising blind
date" Once started, I feel
sure you will have plenty of
friends.

Mourning Letter-Paper
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you please inform me If
it is in good form to use mourn
ing paper, or may I use this
paper?, I am 10. Am I too
young for mourning form? How
long a period should I use it?
May I still write letters to
friends I know, or would it be
better to wait until. after the
mourning period?
EIGHTEEN.
The paper that you used to
write to me is quite all right
for you to use in writing let
tiers now. Or plain white
would be in even better taste.
I do not advise you to use
mourning paper. To begin
with, mourning paper is not
much used nowadays, and you
are of an age where it would
not seem necessary. OF course,
write letters to your friends;
the writing of letters during
mourning depends only on ones
feelings. And probably writing
to your dear friends and hav-
ing them write to you will be
a very great solace.
Mourning now is usually very
light, and often not at all.
Of course, you would not wear
startling colors, but neither is
it necessary for you to wear
black or black and white, I'M
less you really wish to. The
way one conducts oneself and
the way one feels in ones heart
are the real evidences Of the
right attitude rather than the
clothes that one wears.
