Charlie Morril would complete his
duties in the architectural Office where
he worked, and learned that his pro-
spective bride had been flguratively
kidnapped by her aunt. It would be
hours more before he discovered where
they had gone. BY that time the S. S.
Hilton would have passed through the
Golden Gate and be well out to sea-
Wanna, of course, was in tears.
you're horrid! And mean! And
hateful! I love Charlie Some day
I'll marry him, despite anything you
do or say!"
There, there, child Try and get
control of yourself. Time will prove
how right am. How silly you're
acting"
1T isn't silly! It's no more silly
than-than the fact that you always
have to be seasick on shipboard!"
Aunt Nellie WINGED, If the dignified
screwing up of her face could be
called that. Vianna's words and Vi
anna's attitude were too sharp a re-
minder Of the time she had had to
put ships captain in his place. The
captain had had the audacity to
advise her that seasickness was chiefly
state of mind, that she, Nellie,
could overcome if she put her will
to it.
Overcome it, indeed! Capt. Boyle,
I'll have you know I've been travelling
on the sea for years. Each time I
undergo an attack of NAL de mer. I
know exactly what is best for me- An
hour before the ship sails I retire. I
remain in bed, eating nothing, Sleep
ing little, for IL hours For me this
Is a cure, the only cure Thereafter,
for the remainder of the trip, no mat
ter the weather, have no more at
tacks"
Capt. Boyle had smiled. He knew
people. He knew that Nellie was a
willful spinster and further talk would
be useless. Her pride would forbid
her taking any ones advice.

A ND so this evening, her triumph
assured, exhaustion claiming her,
Aunt Nellie retired to her cabin, conf
dent that the steward she had bribed
would prevent Wanna from escaping,
confident that it would be impossible
for the awful Charlie person to
reach the Hilton before sailing time,
and in the thought that after two or
three days at sea Wanna would realize

Want to Know WHY
You're Constipated?

Would you give a million to shake
of that dull, dopey, played-out
feeling that often comes with
common constipation? Then stop
a minute and think.
What haze you had to eat this
,peek? Just meat, bread, eggs,
potatoes? Probably the reason
you're constipated is you don't
get enough "bulk." And bulk"
doesn't mean hon much you eat.
It means a kind of food that isn't
entirely digested, but leaves a
soft, bulky mass in the intestines
which helps a bowel movement.
What to do? Eat some Kellogg's
All-Bran for breakfast every
day. This crunchy toasted cereal
is not only rich in "bulk"-it also
contains both the intestinal tonic
vitamin b., and iron.
Eat All-Bran every day and
drink plenty of water. See If you
don't get off your heels and on
your toes! Kellogg's All-Bran Is
sold by every grocer.

The chub also is known by the

common chub. It's flesh lacks flavor,
but it can be caught so easily it has

When the club finds itself pris-
oner, he becomes highly indignant
and fights vigorously For him to
escape from the hook is not unusual,
for his mouth is tough and he prefers
1t torn to being caught and hauled
aboard. There are too many bones,

NEW RAIN MARK
 FOR LOCAL AREA
Precipitation for Present Month Recorded at 5.29
 Inches; More Coming

Rain which has broken all July records in Waterbury and the state continued this afternoon to add to the peak downfall of yesterday, 15a inches, to make the total precipita- tion for the month, as of noon to- day, 6.20 inches. This is by the of- ficial precipitation guage kept by City Plumbing Inspector James R Walker.
 Flood stage of various rivers in the state threatened as reports ar- rived here of washouts and dis rupted utility service in some cities. Waterbury felt less the effect of these threats but the Naugatuck river Is up more than five feet over normal condition and the towns in the valley are on guard as the pre- cipitation continues to build the flood menace to dangerous propor- tin.
 Not for twelve years has Water bury had rain on July 2l, yesterday, and the average for these years in terms of rain in July shows that 3.32 inches is normal to this section for the entire month. Throughout this month there has been excessive humidity as well and while temper atures were not particularly high, the heighth of discomfort has att tend this preudo- tropical mugginess. The temperature at noon today was 75 degrees.
 Officials of the Connecticut Light and Power company reported this afternoon that there has been no trouble resulting from the heavy rainfalls. While certain plants of the company are affected when the Naugatuck river reaches flood-stage, there is no indication, at present, that such condition Is imminent, they said.
 Meanwhile, vacationists and camp CTS who had chosen this period for annual outings, or even week-ends, have been voicing general complaint about the whole affair, writing from northern New England to friends here that flood conditions are very real in some sections they chose for recreation stays. At Boston, ship ping and other traffic was disrupted, in Maine bridges have been washed out, with Rhode Island reporting shipping at standstill, ariplane and other traffic affected.

NO ISSUE RAISED
 ON TAX PAYMENT
Collector Ennis Upheld By Board for Approving
 Democrats Bills

Commissioner John H. Goss up- held action of Tax Collector William A. Ennis in the matter of Controller Rowland's criticism that the tax collector had approved checks for The Waterbury Democrat at such time as the current instalment of taxes was due. Commissioner Goss and Mayor Hayes, backed by the other commissioners present, Major w. Judge, Harley w. Tripp, Patrick M. Perriello, and Charles B. Jack son, expressed confidence that the tax collector had not perpetrated an intended infraction of procedure. The controller was reminded that Tax Collector Ennis was engaged in collection of about $3,000,000 of the May instalment of taxes during the last of May and the first of June when the bills owed the newspaper were paid by the controller. Con- trary to the publicity given his pro- posal ito make issue of the matter" :" as threatened" in the Republican, American newspapers yesterday, Controller Rowland only offered the following communication to the board:
 July 2l, 1888. Honorable Board of Finance, City.
 Gentlemen:-
 It has been the custom for the comptroller to deliver all city checks before issuance to the tax collector so that he may apply checks against outstanding taxes. Since June 1 on more than one occasion, I have sent checks drawn payable to the Waterbury Democrat in various amounts, so that the tax collector could apply these amounts against taxes ow- ing, and these checks have been returned to me by the tax collec- tor. indicating that the taxes have been paid.
 However, in connection with the auditing being carried out by members of my staff, 1t has come to my attention that these checks were not applied to the outstand- ing taxes of the Waterbury Demo- era, and have since called this matter to the attention of the tax collector, who informs me that his was merely an oversight.
 I explained to him the impor- tance of the matter and asked him to take steps ot sec that the taxes were paid at once and he now informs me that 1t will not be pos sible for him to collect the amount due for few weeks.
 thought this matter should be called to the attention of this board for whatever action you may wish to take.
 Very truly yours,
 SHERWOOD L. ROWLAND,
 Comptroller.

sarily be bacteriologically pure, but because there is no way to isolate that water from that to be doWned by human beings all of the water must be kept scrupulously free from contamination.
 Water sprayed from the hose on the front lawn or the flower garden coes not have to be free from the germs of such water-borne diseases as typhoid fever, for those bacteria would not injure plant life, but they definitely would wreak havoc upon humanity if every precaution were not taken to see that they were eliminated
 Health Angle
 The water supply system of the state, working closely in coopera- ton with state and local health au- thorities, go further than making certain that such germs are elimin- ated; they make sure that human wastes cannot come into contact with the water, by maintaining strict surveillance over the water sheds from which water is drained into reservoirs and their tributaries, over the tributaries and over the reservoirs themselves. The close guarding against sources of con- tamination is followed up through meteorological and chemical tests of the water, and, in most cases, by Alteration or chlorination, some times both. Thus, the water is safe guarded against possible contamin- ation and also treated against chance pollution whether or not it is to be consumed by humans.
