1.5 per cent. The rate for 1880 was g9.5 per cent as compared with n per cont for 1881. This, though, is due to the drastic changes in the population figures estimated and officially arranged. !. " The total number of births In Waterbury during the 1891 fiscal year was 1911. Of this total, 40S represented Z nonresident births. Waterbury residents, born out of town, numbered 27. This shows that while many persons came to Waterbury for maternity caseg, Waterburians only in Q very few instances saw fit to go elsewhere for treatment. In all, 1,6e3 children were nc. tually born here. The crude birth rate for Waterbury is l5.4 per cent. Of this total number of births, S48 were males and 717 were females. This Is consistent with records of past years show ing that more boys than girls have been born In Waterbury right along.
 The ratio between whites and colored babies born in Waterbury shows a very large divergence There were 1,524 white children born here as compared with only 80 colored children during the 1891 fiscal period.

 are ex- tremely exhausting to any person and especially so to a baby or small child. As soon as they occur an effort should be made to stop them. A simple and effective treat- ment is to give small quantity of cool water. If the hiccoughs still persist half teaspoonful of vine- gar will usually end them.
 NOSE BLEED-Nose bleed car. be stopped in many cases by ex- tending the arm, on the side where the bleeding. occurs, above tho head. Cold water applied to the bridge of the nose and leo or Q cold piece of metal applied to the spine are also often effective. When these, simple methods fall to stop the bleeding, resort to an Nmetic or ipecac.

waterbury's birth rate for the 1881 fiscal period ending in No- vember was larger than in 1880, records of the local health de- partment show. While on the surface the figures for the 10a1 period and the 1880 period appear to be the same, an analysis of the health department figures show 1881 as being ahead of the pre- ceding 12 months.
 The birth rate in Waterbury for 1891 was 15.4 per cent, based on population figures. This was the same ratio for 1880. However, the 1880 ratio was based on the Chamber of Commerce population figure of 111,734 while that of 1881 was figured on the new census figure of t01,100.
 Therefore, If 15.4 per cent was the rate for 1o30 on Q 111,734 population and was 15.4 per cent, for 1881 on Q 101,100 population, the past year shows an increase in waterbury's birthrate, 1t is fig ured. h~
 As for the death rate among in- fants, the total was eight less for 1881 than for 1880. However, the percentage for 1031 in infant mortality, because of figuring on the basis of 101.100 as compared with 111.734 for 1880, is greater by

Weighing Baby

The way to tell If . baby Is getting sufficient food Is to watch his gain in weight. The baby should be weighed once . week. Usually babies lose somc weight during the first few days nfter they are born. Until the baby Is nbout three months old he will gain usually from six to eight ounces a week. Later the gnin will be from four' to six ounces. During the last three months of the first year gain of from two to four ounces . week generally Is satisfactory. If, carly in the first year, the gain Is less than two ounces f0p two weeks or if the baby does not gain nt all for two weeks or If he loses weight the doctor should be consulted at once.

Real Technique
 in Feeding Baby
Mothers Discover Right
 Way to Proceed

Mothers have found that there is . technique in feeding the baby! First of all It's feeding times must be on the dot-nnd not an excuse will serve for you departing. from that schedule. If you feed your baby at haphazard intervals, or when 1t cries and you suddenly re- member that feeding time Is over- due, then you are laying up mul- tiple trouble for yourself at no far-distant day. Whereas, if you feed the baby at the stipulated moments, then life will be much eaiser for you at all times, and Is uncannlly quick to know just what is expected of 1t!
 At feeding time--we talk now of the baby who is fed by formula. the bottle Is removed from the automatic refrigerator( your res frigerator Is not automatic, be pos-. itlve that tho temperature is well below to dergees), the sterillzed eorks are removed, and q clean, sterile nipple fs Is removed from the jar. where you keep them in q boric acid solution. Be caregul not to touch the tip of the nipple with your fingers.
 Then put the bottle In tho bottle warmer. An electric bottle warmer is not only . great convenience during the feeding but 1t precludes the necessity for mother going to the kitchen to heat the bottle. while baby sucks his thumb, goes crosseyed, gets tangled up in hIs clothing, or tries to wr!ggle his head through tho crib posts the minute her back is turned!
 Test the milk by letting few drops fall on your wrist; the milk should feel warm but not hot. After feeding, hold the baby up with Us on your shoulder for safety's sake and pat thefiittie one gently on the back for about q minute to bring

to select a saive that will not in. crease the irritation instead of alleviate 1t. Salves or soaps free from harsh, drying irritants. that cleanse and soothe must be pro- vlded. Too often parents think that preparations suitable for their own use may be utilized for the infant or child and thus increase the prob- lem of cure. A little care in the selection of such salves would avoid such difficulties. "

81 Am A Fugitive"(O "Opens
Today At The Capitol

One of the most heralded mo-
tion pictures to be presented in Sal.
isbury, in many a moon, opens to-
day at the Capitol Theatre. 1t is
Il Am a Fugitive From a Chain
Gang" starring Paul Mum. with
Helen Vinson, Glenda Farrell, Pres
ton Foster, David Landau, Sally
Blone, Noel Francis, 81 other i'm
portant roles, 50 "bit' players and
more than 1000 extras.
Not only is Il An A Fugitive
From a Chain Gang" said to carry
more thrilling and. sensational cpl
sodes than any other picture made
this year but it presents a triple
romance Of strange and glamorous
loves, against a background of in
credible prison chain gang brutal
tiles.
The story, which was authorized
bv Robert E. Burns, who is still in
hiding from chain gang police,
elbows men driven to desperation by
the tortures of the whipping post,
poor food, excessive labors in broil-
ing heat and other cruelties. Paul
Mum, as the fugitive, makes a SEN
sational escape and crosses into an
other state. After years of strug-
gle, he makes good under an assum-
ed name, but a woman who discov-
ers his past, betrays him. He is re-
turned to the chain gang only to
escape again in one of the most
breath-taking episodes of the cur
rent season.
There is no more touching figure
than this fugitive, a man yearning
for love and home, an ex-service
man skulking from place to place:
not daring to show his face, unable
to marry the girl he loves devoted
ly. Truly, a man without a coun-
try. He is wildly and dramatical-
ly portrayed by Paul Mum, who
