Blind People Use Most Gas.

when it comes to consuming gas

said an inspector of the Consolidated
Gas Company. Il know two families
where both husband and wife are
blind. Every jet is turned on full tilt
in their homes at night and is kept
going at that rate clear up to IL
o'clock. Light and darkness are all
the same to the afflicted ones, but
they insist upon illumination brilliant
enough for reception.
And that Partially for light is not
a within peculiar to those two couples.
All blind people feel that way. They
demand the light and in all private
homes and institutions where the
blind are cared for the gas bills

It was while attending military
school a good many years ago that
formed the habit of taking long
walks before breakfast" said Branch
to a group of friends. "One morning

the town near which the school was

Suffering.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual

set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ

New Milford,
A BREEZY TOWN MEETING.

New Milford had breezy town meeting on Saturday when the Ques- tion of building a new highway and bridge over Still River was thrashed out and a vote carried to do the work, by a small margin. G. M. Breinig spoke strongly in favor of the plan and wanted the citizens to take broad and public spirited action in the mat ter. Selectman Staub reported that the land damage would amount to $7OO, the grading $500 and bridge $500, and other expenses would bring 1t up to a total of $400O. He estimated that by making the road narrower 1t could be built for $500 less. G. M. Bre1nig thought it could be done for S2OOO pro- vided piers and wooden bridge was could not be done for that figure, and stated a committee should be appoint ed to do the work if they wanted to work it out on any such basis. J. L. Buck spoke at length in favor or MT Breinig's resolution. Attorney James Fl. McMahon made an eloquent plea in favor of the project. Thomas Slack told how the small children were obliged to go around by the lower the Biblical injunction "Ho increase and multiply" pr Knowles was in favor of the new highway and bridge. Hon Nicholas Staub:spoke against the resolution. Owing to the large in- debtedness he did not think it policy to build two bridges within an eighth of a mile. Walter Leavenworth thought the debt had reached a point where expenditures should be opposed. The vote to open the highway and build the bridge was carried 73 to 67. About 30 present did not vote either way. A petition for another town meeting to rescind the vote was at once drawn up. To THE BEE the petition of the Still River people seems reasonable one and should be granted by the taxpayers. It is backed by MT Breinig, who represents the largest industry the town boasts. Selectman Staub is right in asking for S4OOO. Do the job decently,, so it will be a credit to the town Tor all time.
