RHEUMATISM.
More Proof That Dr Williams
 Pink Pills Will Cure It.

Mir Myron Adams is resident of Rad Axe. Mich. where he is known as a man of his word.
 He was cured of a severe attack of rheumatism by Dr Williams Pink Pills and his gratitude prompts him to make the following statement for the bene- it of those who still suffer:
 After working for long time in the lumber camps. going through ex- posture to dampness and suffering from colds" he says. ''l mad an attack of rheumatism. that lasted two years. It affected my arms and shoulders and quick. sharp pains ran all through my left side. My arms. principally the elbows. were sore to the touch. My back was lame and the kidneys affect cd. could not lie down to sleep. be- cause the pain would then be too se- we're. but had to be bolstered up in a chair. 1 had no appetite. could do hard ly any work and began to think life wasn't worth living.
 "I had different doctors. who helped me for time. but the trouble always came back. l read about Dr Williams Pink Pills in a paper and chancing to talk to neighbor abat them. found he had been cured of rheumatism by the pills. l immediately bought some and could see after taking few boxes that they were helping me. l took them while longer and haven't had a touch of trouble since. cannot tell how much l value Pink Pills"

HOWE G STETsON's
BIG REDUCTION SALE AND PROF.
 IT SHARING PLAN.

One year ago Messrs Shartenberg & Robinson, owners of the Howe & Stet- son stores, organized a distinctly new idea in New Haven merchandising. It was a profit sharing sale. During the first week in December. 1906. they treated the stocks carried in their store to sharp reductions and at the same time presented their employees with percentage of the gross re- ceipts of the sale which followed. This event, coming as it did only few weeks previous to Christmas, spread it's benefits broadcast. The shopping public of the city were enabled to pur : chase much wanted merchandise at a radical savings while the employees of the store found substantial gains in their incomes at very opportune time. The entire moyement gave pleasure to both patrons And employees and was at the time the subject of much favor able comment. On account of the suc- cess of this first profit sharing sale and the appreciation shown by their employees of the efforts made to re- ward meritorious service, Messrs Shar- tenberg & Robinson have decided to repeat the event again this year. The date set for the 1907 profit sharing sale is Tuesday morning, December 3, and it will continue during the balance of the week. The sale conditions that governed the sale of 1906 will be in force. A general reduction in the prices of merchandise all through the store which makes it profit sharing event from the purchasers point of view, and the distribution of one per cent of the gross proceeds among the selling staff of the Howe & Stetson stores which make the sale true to its title to those who by their faithful ser vice behind the counters are now about to be rewarded by employers who tAG- oughly appreciate their efforts. This sale, besides showing true spirit of generosity on the part of Shartenberg & Robinson toward their employees is very timely event for the thousands of holiday shoppers in and about New Haven. The greater bulk of merchan- disc which will be reduced in price is the class which all are seeking at this session of the year, articles that we need now, namely, gift things. Staple goods will be well represented in the underpricing. All this is very import ant as it gives saving opportunities at just the time of the heaviest pur- chasing when economiest are indeed most welcome.

Taxes Rising In Scotland.

Consul Rufus Fleming of Edinburgh
calls attention in recent report to the
fact that during the ten years ending
1904 local taxation per capita has in
creased more than II per cent. He
further states that taxes are especially
high in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Pals
ley, the three Scotch cities that have
gone deepest into municipal ownership,
and adds that "the conclusion seems
unavoidable that, whatever benefits
municipal ownership may have bestow-
ed upon the mas ses. it has not tended
to tighten the burdens of taxpayers"
This is emphasized by the added fact
that during the last fiscal year of the
series the running expenses of all of
the revenue producing municipal under
takings of Scotland exceeded the re-
ceipts by 10 per cent in spite of the
ridiculously small depreciation allow
ance and the transferring to other ac-
counts of large items of expense.

STEAM DRIVEN TORPEDO.
Hudson Maxim's Device Has Twice the
Range Of Old Ones.

After experimenting for more than
seven years Hudson Maxim. the in
ventor, has succeeded in building a
steam driven torpedo which he believes
will make the torpedo boat the most
deadly of fighting vessels. says the
New York Tribune. The new proiectile
will be supplied with Il quantity of
''motorite." which will convert into
steam a quantity of water forced into
the chamber with it. AID the steam
generated will operate turbine en-
gine in the torpedo.
Years ago" Mr. Maxim said recent
ly. Il realized that the torpedo boat
would not become Il powerful factor in
sea fighting until the speed and power
of the torpedo itself were greatly in
creased The new torpedo IN general
appearance resembles the Whitehead
torpedo The distance which the new
torpedo will travel through the water
will be double that of the ordinary tor
pedo. The motorite will take the place
of compressed air.
I'm my torpedo. on which | have al
ready expended $4,000, 4 snl' combus-
tible material, called motorite, similar
in composition To smokeleSs powder,
but not itself an explosive is employ
ed TO furnish the motive power for
driving the torpedo through the water.
The motorite. as it will be used in my
torpedo, is in the form of solid bars
about seven inches in diameter and
four feet six inches long. These bars
of motorite are vanished and are then
forced into long steel tubes.
zone pound of motorite evaporates
two pounds of water under Il pressure
of 300 pounds 10 the square inch. The
rate of combustion under this pressure
Is about foot minute, but this rate
can be varied for the same pressure by
varying the hardness of the mOtorite.
Filled with motorite, a Maxim torpedo
will always be ready for discharging,
like shotted gun. will not manu-
facture the torpedo myself, but Will

A DAY OF RECKONING.
You Cannot Fool All of the People All
of the Time.

VI tfC I ttFlS.
The recent condemnation as unfit for
further service Of a number of gas and
electric light plants and the closing
down Of some of them at dead loss
to the taxpayers should serve as
warning to other cities, for this is the
fate that is likely to overtake all such
plants in the long run. For the first
year or two, when no expensive re-
pairs are needed and the plant Is thor
oughly up to date, 1t ought not to be
d.D4Cult - iAdk1 i good showing. For
a few years longer the bad bookkeep-
Ing and inadequate reports, that are
unfortunately the rule rather than the
exception. may blind the citizens to
the deterioration of the plant and TO
its increasing losses. But the day Of
reckoning inevitably comes when
breakdown. bad service or demand for
new equipment that cannot masQuer-
ade as extensions" causes an investi-
CATION, and then it becomes evident
that the plant has been losing prop
oSition almost from the start. No plant
should be accepted as evidence of sue
ressful municipal management until it
has been operated for several years
and then examined by expert engineers
and accountants.

The new melon is ohlong in shape,
and the greatest weight yet attained
Is ten pounds and seven ounces. The
rind is hard and thin and the marking
similar to that of the pomegranate.
The deep orange colored body is mark
ell with stripes and splotches of dark
green. The flesh is firm and of very
pale green. almost white. Only small
space in the center of the melon Is oc-
cupied by the seeds. which resemble
the ordinary muskmelon seeds, al
though slightly larger, The seeds are
massed together in rounded form, and
the flesh of the melon is much thicker
than that of the same sized muskmelon.
The flavor! How can that he describ-
