Pneumonia Death
 Toll In Connecticut Incipent Disease in Its Various Forms Said to Take

Pneumonia in its various forms is with us all through the year but it is approaching its peak at just about this time, when it is my privilege to address you, said William E. We'll ing, B. A., to-day in radio address from WTIC.
 Pneumonia is not easily cured, but it is rather easily avoided. I make this statement in the face of the fact that we can be pretty sure that 1,60O deaths will be due to this cause of death in every year. These l, ,6O0 deaths, in Connecticut's pop ulation of about 1,600,00O, mean a death rate of 100 in each 100000 of the population.
 Since 1900 in only two years has this rate been below 100. In 1921 it was just a bit below 100 and in 1927 it sank to 85, which is the lowest rate ever to be recorded for pneu monia.
 Let us remember our population of 1,60O,0O0 and the fact that death rates for diseases are expressed in units of 100000. In Connecticut there are 16 units of 100000, and | it will require a saving of only 320 lives to reduce 8 disease death rate l by 20 points. And, of course: if we have an excess of 320. deaths, the death rate goes up 20 points in tha' particular disease. We may say therefore, that Connecticut's pneu I monia death rate is favorable or un. l favorable depending more or less or 320 individuals-whether they pro- pose to die of pneumonia or to avoid | it and live.

Stubborn Coughs
 Ended by Recipe,
 Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of break ing up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics.
 From any druggist, get 2h ounces of Pinex, pour 1t into pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times the cost. It never spells and tastes so good that even children lile it.
 Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflaned throat membranes with surprising ease, but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throw ing oh the cough. It loosens the germ laden phlegm and eases chest soreness in . way that is really astonishing.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway Pine, con- taining the active agent of creosote, in . refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of distressing coughs, chest colds, and bronchial troubles.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

. Let me tell you one of the simplest and easiest ways of getting a pneu- monia. You see, I say "a" pneu- monia for can not guarantee whether or not it will be broncho or lobar pneumonia, but I can say that lobar pneum onia will hit 165 men to 100 women; that broncho pneumonia is more evenly divided, 110 men to 100 women. All forms, in the sex ratio of 1855 men to 100 women.
 To continue, you must first con- tract cold. At the start this will be nothing more than common cold or a coryza. If now you will insist on going out, instead of remaining in bed where you should be, refuse to send for your physician, and will go out without rubbers on rainy day, and your spring overcoat instead of your heavy one, in day or two you should have a heavy cold. The
 common cold, you see, is like a latch key, opening channels for
 deeper and deeper infections. The next step is bronchitis, on the very threshold of the 1ungs.y: and you can be sure some form of pneumonia Is
 waiting for the entrance to the lungs to be completely unlocked.
 Now, if you don't want 8 pneu- l monia, let me ,advise:. , 1 Don't be careless. | 2.-Don't neglect a cold. Stay 1T bed. See your doctor. 3.-Wear your overcoat and youl
 rubbers.
 4.-Respect a disease which strikes down 1,6OO Connecticut residents every year.

Hotel Waterbury's beautiful Rain- bow room presented a fitting setting last evening for the brilliant and colorful ball of the members of the Waterbury chapter of the Reserve Officers association. The iridescent flashes of light from tke large crys- tai ball that is feature of the Rain- bow room lit upon some gorgeous costumes worn by the women guests as well as upon the gold trimmings of the attire of officers and the drab uniforms of members of the national guards.

One remained at the door, while his pal walked over to Lego and fash ing big nunting knife, placed it against tce managers back and or- dered him to hand over the money. One look at the knife was sufficient for Lego, he turned over the cash and knowing that he could not be shot with a knife. he ventured into the street close after the two men and observed them as they raced cp Liberty street to Mill street. He then notified police headquarters.
 Lieutenant William Pollard, Patrol Driver Cornelius Shanahan and Pa trolmen Joseph Lovallo and James Carey of the motor patrol were al the gas sration within less than five minutes, but were unable to take up the trial. Lego had only a vague description of the two men.
