INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC ON THE WANE
(
After making a complete survey 'of
the Spanish influenza - situation in
Norwich Health Officer B. J. Brophy
stated on Tuesday evening , that he
thought the epidtmio to be waning as
there was a perceptible decrease in
the number , of new cases reported
and also fewer- cases of pneumonia.
Dr. Brophy stated that he is of the
opinion that the epidemic was at its
eignt on Monday and from now on
the people will only use care the
disease may be reduced to only a few
cases within a short time.
On Tuesday afternoon there was a
meetipg ' of the city officials and
Health Officer Brophy to discuss the
influenza epidemic. The policy of
closing the schools was discussed but
it was tnought that the schools could
be kept open as the epidemic was on
the wane. The watchfulness of the
teachers in noticing the health of the
children will be . a precaution. The
teachers are instructed to keep watch
of the pupils and. at the first sign of
any symptoms of the disease to send
the child to his home for treatment
with instructions to remain there a
week. These instructions also apply
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Best Gun Crew in Battery,
A letter written from France by
Sergt. George A. Stone ( former Taft
ville boy), now with the American ex
peditionary forces in France, to Joseph
Wood, Taftville, is as follows:
Aug. 23. 1918.
Dear Mr. Wood:
Just a few lines to let you - know
that t am well and hope this letter
will find you the same. I am up in the
lines now and, believe me, it is some
hell here. We have been here quite
a few weeks now and have seen quite
a bit of fighting. I think we have the
best gun crew in the battery, and we
certainly have the best gun. We try
to send two shots over the line to their
one. We call our gun Lightning, for
that is the name given it by the colonel
who inspected us before we left C
for the lines. He had us go through a
20-minute gun drill for him and said
SERGT. GEORGE A. STONE.
to shops and any employe who Js
taken sick should immediately, ' -leave
and go home. -
The people of Montville have been
greatly distressed over the fact that
they have been without physicians for
the nast few days as Dr. Harrington
has died and Dr. M. E. Fox is ill, thus
leaving them without medical aid.
Dr. John J. Donahue of the Grand
View Sanatorium has volunteered his
services to the people of Montville
and vicinity and he will receive, calls
at the office of Dr. Fox In that place
during the epidemic
Owing to the crowded condition ;of
the Backus hospital and the scarcity
of nurses, no visitors will be .allowed
at the hospital during the next few
days. The public is requested not to
call the hospital by telepjjone with in
quiries about patients, except in seri
ous cases as the hospital staff is tax
ed to the utmost to take .care of all
its imperative duties and snould not
have its time taken by "needless calls.
On Tuesday there were 92 patients
at the hospital which Is the largest
number in its history. The largest
previous number at one time was:?2.
it was the best drill he had seen for a
good many years, and suggested that
we name the gun Lightning. The boy
adopted the name at once and now we
have the word Lightning painted on
each side of the gun in white letters.
All the men in the crew are boys from
home. I picked them all out myself
so that I could look out for them.
They would do anything for me, and I
certainly would do anything for them
I cannot tell you which sector I am
on, but it is one of the busiest and
where the heaviest fighting is going
on. It is some fighting, too. They
nearly got me the other day with
shrapnel, t just ducked in time, but
the poor fellow behind me got it, and
it. made a hole in his arm as big as
your fist. Shrapnel is worse than a
shell, for a shell makes a clean hole,
but shrapnel tears you up some. It is
an awful sighU to see a fellow ripped
open by shrapnel. I saw one. and can
tell you some very interesting stories
if God ever lets me get back home.
One officer here was literally torn to
pieces.
I have not as yet received The Bul
letins you are sending to me, but hope
that I may later.
Trust I may hear from you soon.
Good luck to you.
Your soldier friend,

STORRS COLLEGE TO RUN
AT HIGH PRESSURE
Connecticut Agricultural College at
Storrs opens the eighth of October, a
week from next Tuesday. Jn view of
more than double the usual number
of advance applications, it seems cer
tain that the entering class will be
three times . the customary enroll
ment. Supplement these with former
students who are planning to return
and the list grows to close to 400 stu
dents, as compared with an average
before the war attendance of 200 or
a little more.. In addition, the war de
partment has asked the college to vir
tually double the combined number of
hours devoted to military and class
instruction.. .
President Charles L. Beach has pre
pared for just such a situation by
overhauling the mess quarters for op
eration on the cafeteria plan, provid-
ng a separate dining room for wo
men students, and getting the dormi
tories in shape to be used as bar
racks. Prof. Beach first notinod .the
war department that Storrs could ac
commodate 400 men in die Student's
Army Training Corps and then took
immediate steps to prepare for just
the contingency that lias arisen;
namely, twice as many student to
get twice as much instruction or in
other words running the college at
about four times its normal capacity.
Under an agreement with the war
department the college has contracted
to furnish quarters, mess, and in
struction to be paid for by the gov
ernment. The war department con
tracts to provide uniforms, equip
ment, officers, and a private's pay for
every student inducted into the S. A.
T. C. Highly specialized intensive
courses have been outlined bv a spe
cial committee of the faculty. Major
Wm. F. Flynn has been detailed by
the war department to taKe command
of the Storrs unit. Vice Col. J. S.
Parke has been transferred to Boston
college.

trial on Tuesday morning here in the
superior court before Judge William
b. case and a jury on the charge of
theft of $932.50 from John and Emma
M. Madley, husband and wife, of Leb

are charged with stealing on June 26,
was what they had paid to the Mad

bought the Madley farm.: Attorney
Arthur M. 'Brown was counsel for the
accused and State Attorney H. A. Hull

She said that in the house she had
two packages of money which she had I
saved up. One package contained $$200
done up in a cloth bag while the other
contained $300 wrapped up in brown
paper. These packages, witness stat
ed, she put in a tin trunk with a
cover which had a lock to it. She
stated that Dachis went up stairs in
company with others while she was
putting the money away. During the
time that Dachis and the others were
up stairs the witness went into another
bedroom, waiting for them to go down
stairs. Later she. took the money out,
wrapped it up in a green coat and put
the bundle at the bottom of a clothes
basket while she went out to deliver
an order with her husband and told
her oldest daughter Florence about the
money being in the basket Upon her
return she took the money out of the
basket and placed it in a brown bag
together with $932.50 done up in a
white paper. This sum had been paid
to her and her husband as the bal
ance coming to her for the sale of the
farm. About 7.30- o'clock on the even
ing of placing the money in the bag
she discovered the package containing
the $932.50 had disappeared.
Town Clerk Charles J. Abe.1 of Leb

tified to drawing the deed conveying
the property and to having seen
money which consisted of seven one
hundred dollar bills, four fifties, six
fives, and $2.50. Upon, objection by
Attorney Brown, Judge Case excluded
the line of questioning upon which
the state attorney began, to examine
the witness and Mr. Abel was not
questioned further.
Florence 'E. Madley, the 17-year-old
daughter of the Madley family,
testified that on -Tuesday afternoon,
June 26, her mother told her the
money was in a clothes basket. Mrs.
Madley went away to visit the new

therman stood by her side.
Frances .Madley, 13, a sister of
Florence, testified that she was in the
house at the same time and she was
in the room where her sister was
playing the organ. At that time she
saw Dachis in the adjoining room
where the clothes basket with the
money in it was and he was standing
over the clothes basket.
Joseph B. Blakeslee, justice of the
peace in Lebanon, and William E.
Jacfcson, county detective, followed
the two girls on the stand.
Detective Jackson testified to two
conversations with Dachis in one of
which Dachis said he presented a $50
at. the Chestnut Hill railroad station
for a ticket to New York which the
station agent could not change and
trusted him for the ticket to New
York. This was two or three days
after the transaction involving the .al
leged theft. Featherman had also
told the detective about tho $50 bill
Jackson said.
Edward J. Hickey of Hartford, a
federal officer with the naval intelli
gence bureau, testified that he heard

and Jackson about the $50 bill which
the station agent could not change.

years. He first became acquainted
with Dachis in New York. He testi
fed to the details of the transfer of
the property and the payment of the
money to the Madleys at Town Clerk
Abel's office. The witness said he
was the one who paid the money. -
When the transaction was concluded

Cpcoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with. -
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled
cocoanut . oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One of two teaspon
fuls will make an abundance of ?ich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather .
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leavesjt fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage. -You
can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last'ereryone in the family for months.
