This subject of the economic value
to the country of a general raising
of the average health came up in
the governors’ conference at the
white house in May. Dr. George M.
Koher in his speech on tue ‘‘Con
servation of Life and Heaiwu by Im
proved Water Supply” at the confer
ence presented figures which showed
that the decrease in the ‘“‘vital assets”
of the country through typhoid fever
in a single year is more than $350,-
000.000. Typhoid is spread by pol
luted water largely, so that the death
rate from this disease can be directly
reduced by the purification of city
drinking water. Dr. Kcber quoted
ctatistics to show that the increased
value of the water to the city of
Albany, N. Y., when the typhoid fever
rate was reduced from 104 to 100.000
to 26 by an efficient filtration nlant.
amounts to $475,000 a year, of
which $350.000 may be considered
a real increase to the vital assets of
the city. Census bureau figures
show that the average annual death
rate from typhoid in cit'es with con
taminated water supplies was re
duced from 69.4 per 100,000 to 19.8
by the substitution of pure supplies.
Dr. Kober cited estimates showing
that the average length of human
life in the sixteenth century was be
tween 18 and 20 years, and that at
the close of the eighteenth century
!it was a little more than 30, while
‘today it is between 38 and 40—in
‘deed, the span of life since 1880 has
been lengthened about six years.

TIGER REWARD NO MORE. 1
Unless a Sure-Enough “DBengal”
. dliger Is Captured.
The Herald says the Albany city
council has amended and modified its
offer to pay a reward of $5O for every
blind tiger captured in Albany. |
It is the intention of council in
offering this reward to catch ‘“‘sure
enough’” blind tigers—such, for in
stance, as was captured in Sandy:
Bottom by the police recently when
B. D. Motley was arrestedl and a bar
rel and several cases of whiskey
were found.
The matter came up in connection
with the paying of the reward of soo
to Officer Oscar Walden for arresting
W. T. Tinsley, who plead guilty to
peddling liquor on the streets. This
reward will be paid, but in the future
a committee of council wia pass on
all cases in which a reward is
claimed, and will decide whether or
not the blind figer in each case is
sufficiently vicious to warrant the
payment of $5O.
EARTHQUAKE RECORDED.
Tt Was Located About 2,000 Miles
From Washington.
A small earthquake was recorded
at both the weather bureau in
Washington and the Coast and Goe
detic Survey Magnetic Observatory
at Cheltenham, Md., early Tuesday.
The survey announced that the
earthquake apparently originated
2,000 miles away to the southward
and westward, and the weather bu
reau officials suggested that it may
.ave been in the Pacific ocean off
the Mexican coast, as it appeared to
be rather less than 2,000 miles away.
The survey record showed the
shock began at 12 minutes and 46
seconds after midnight and lasted
about two hours, ‘‘the second phase
of the tremors” beginning 17 min
utes and 48 seconds after midnight.
‘The weather bureau seismograph
first recorded the shock at 11 min
utes and 51 seconds after midnight,
the second preliminary tremor be
ginning a little over 6 minutes af
‘terwards; the strong motion devel
oping at 12.24 o’clock.
from all parts of the country. They
have come singly, in bunches and by
the hundreds. The tenor of the let
ters is all the same—*“No wedding
bells for me!” One letter from St.
Cloud, Minn., reads: ‘I am forty
years old, good looking and neat in
appearance; I have no immediate
prospects of beconing entangled
matrimonially, but still have hopes.”
The application was accepted.

KISSED WIFE AND IS IN JAIL
Ignorant of Connecticut Blue Laws,
Burns Had to Pay a Fine of
Twenty Dollars.
Invoking an old blue law, by
which it is a crime for a man to kiss
his wife in public on iae Sabbath i
Dennis Burns was arrested at Naug
atuck, Conn., and spent the night in
the lockup.
Dennis and Mrs. Burns were pas
sengers late last Sunday night in a
trolley car. He hugged and Kkissed
his wife regardless of the other pas
sengers, 'and when there were grunts
and sniffs of disapproval from the
shocked ones he lavished his caress
es upon Mrs. Burns more generously
than ever.
Appeals to the conductor and hints
from that functionary to Dennis to
modify his affections were of no
avail. He simply iaughed and gave
Mrs. Burns some more Kkisses.
Then one of the passengers, a resi
dent of Naugatuck and familiar with
the blue laws of that ancient town,
had the car stopped when the main
street was reached. A policeman
was summoned and the indignant
Dennis was hustled away to the
lockup.
In court the next morning Judge
Hungerford did not care to entertain
the charge of ‘“wife kissing on the
Sabbath,” but poor Dennis did not
escape. The modern charge of dis
orderly conduct was made agzinst
him and he was fined enough, with
the costs, to make a total of nearly
$2O. Burns justified his conduct,
saying:
“I love my wife on Sunday as
much as I do on Saturday or Mon
day, and I have a right to kiss her,
law or no law.”
ELECTION COMPLICATIONS.
Two Separate Returns Necessary in
the November Election.
More complications have arisen
over the returns from the recent state
election and those to be made for
the national election in November.
It has developed that for the lat
ter two separate returns will have
tobe made. The law requires the
vote for congressmen and presiden
tial electors to be made known to
the governor, who supervises their
consolidation. However, for the first
time since the present constitution
was adopted two amendments to
that document are to be submitted
to the people at the national elec
tion. It is provided that the returns
on amendments shall be made to
the secretary of state.
The attorney-general has held that
two different kinds of blanks must
be sent out—to be filled out and one
returned to the governor and the oth
er to the secretary of state.
The two amendments provide for
service pensicns for confederate vet
erans and their widows, and the oth
er will authorize counties to levy
taxes for police and sanitary pur
poses. 8

This picture will give you some idea of how I received a
watch for repairs.
About twelve years ago Mr. Geo. Bass happened to the very
dangerous accident of getting wound up in some machinery, and
by accident he is still living, and I uuderstand the watch is also
still alive. The case and entire watch was bent around the shaft;
if anything worse looking than the picture. I repaired the watch
throughout in my shop. I bought a dial for the movement, I be
lieve, is all the new manufactured parts I used.
1 now have a complete shop, better than ever, and I promise
better work for the money.
I hope that any time you may be in need of anything in the
watch and jewelry line you will remember. Your humble servant,
