GrandmOther!

The state department of health states in It's current monthly bul- letin received here today that 1t owes a debt of gratitude to the state health departments of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and of New York for their assistance In discovering the sources of two cases of typhoid fever which re- gently occurred in this state. Un- der cooperative arrangements the New Jersey and Pennsylvania health authorities traced down the grandmother of the C0nnecti- cut patient as typhoid carrier. The patient had visited relatives in both states, and 1t was found that the grandmother living In New Jersey had suffered from the disease 20 to 30 years ago. Labora- tory examination of specimens proved her to be 8 carrier. In the other case, an elderly woman had moved into the Connecticut pa- tient's family and had prepared food on several occasions. When the patient was stricken, she had moved to New York state. Suspi- cious, O. n n c leu { authorities asked New York's health depart ment to investigate. The woman was found to have been carrier, probably since her own case a number of years ago. From two to five per cent of typhoid cases re- main carriers indefinitely. and only by such work as that outlined here can they be prevented from spreading the disease to others.

PARKING SYSTEM
 CHANGES COMING
Superintendent Roach Ap- proves of New Arrange
 ments Proposed Here

Drastic changes in the city's parking system are urged by recent steps in connection with the park ing problem by Police Superintend:. ent William J. Roach. Several streets previously open to al!-day parking have been made mo park ing" areas and parking has been greatly curtailed in other locali. ties.
 At Grand and Meadow streets, near Library Park, @ large space where motorists were formerly al- lowed to park has been closed to parking. Superintendent Roach stated that the parking of cars at the corner hindered the vision or drivers of cars passing by the cor- ner and created 8 definite hazard, The new-no-parking rule is in ef- feet on the southwest corner ot Grand street, at Meadow street.
 Parking on the south side of NH street, along the Scovill Mfg. Co buildings has now been forbidden the street being listed as too mar row and heavily travelled to allow for it.
 It is expected that time limita- tions of either 90 or 45 minutes will be placed on parking on Grand street below Church street. The space along the curbs here is now used for considerable all day park ing on the part of office workers. ) A complete change in the city's parking regulations is expected within the next few weeks. The situation is now being studied by supt. Roach and other police of- ficials.

GREAT BRITAIN
 TO DISCUSS IT

London, Nov. 14.-(UP) .-Govern- ment authorities expressed belief today that treasury officials would conduct discussions with the Uni- ted States government regarding President Roosevelt's warning that foreign capital was being invested on gigantic scale in American se- curities.
 The conversations, 1t was indicate ed, would concern principally the possible consequences of the presi. dents declaration.
 The declaration brought the dis- closure that many London stock brokers in recent weeks have been doing more American than British business.

Lynch, however, has strong back ing in the legislature. This is shown by the fact that he was named commissioner by republican legis- lature in 1893. The other two New Haven county commissioners are Jacob D. Walter of Cheshire and Robert H. Gerrish of East Haven, both republicans. Their terms do not expire until october 1, 1889.
 Supported Brother
 Tn the recent election Commis- sioner Lynch's brother, Senator John P. Lynch, ran for congress in the third Connecticut district on the republican ticket. The third district takes in all of New Haven county with the exception of the Naugatuck valley. Part of the coun- ty, including Waterbury, is in the fifth congressional district.
 Commissioner Lynch cannot be blamed for favoring his brother. 1t is elaine dby those planning to op- pose his reappointment to his cour1- ty post. However, 1t is being charged, He OpeHly WOEheu AVA hS entire republican ticket. Some claim that Lynch's critics may be mis- taken, being misled by the fact that he was anxious to see his brother, the state senator, elected to congress. Senator Lynch was defeated in the third district by his democratic opponent, the m- cumbent, Congressman James A. Shanley of New Haven.
 Inactive
 Commissioner Lynch was at one time closely allied with the "old guard" group in the democratic party and served for 8 consider able length of time as secretary of the democratic state central committee. Of late, however, he has not been closely associated with either the "old guard" or new guard" and has more or less kept out of active politics since he was named county commissioner by the republican legislature.

MORAL OF STORY;
DRINK MORE BEER!
Harvard Professor Defines
CalOrific Value of Pop.
ular Beverage

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 20-When
you consume two glasses Of beer,
says DR.. z. II. Lundin, Of Harvard
Chemical school, you obtain food
value equal to an average portion
Of lean beef, or Of Goldfish, or to
two slices Of bread, or q baked po-
tato, or one and o half eggs, or q
glass Of milk.
Making known the results Of his
investigations into the food value
of beer, DR.. Lundin says twelve
ounces Of beer--the average cap
acity of q retail container - have
fod value which equals any Of the
following articles: 81 o.. Of lean
beef; 8.8 OF. Of Goldfish; ID OF. Of
bread; At OF. Of potato; one and
one-half eggs; GA OF. Of milk.
While this revelation Of the food
value of beer may be surprising to
the average American, beer long has
been recognized In Europe as
food product and is included as
such In the daily diet Of thousands
Of families in England, Germany
and other countries, just as tea, cof-
fee and milk are consumed In the
United States.
The comparisons Of the value OF
beer with that of other foods Is on
the basis Of calorific values, which
is the only satisfactory manner In
which different food substances can
be compared by means Of figures.
For example, the calorific value OF
beer is abotat two-thirds that Of
milk.
