END OF Trolley CRAZE.

The abandonment of trolley lines
here and there indicates that the old,
haphazard methods of building troll
leys have come to an end
Notice has been given that the Ded-
ham & Meddeld (Mass) street rail
way will suspend operations Janua Y
( 1, because it does not pay. The troll
ley line between Portsmouth and Ex-
eter, n. H. has recently ceased to
exist and there are many Others that
do not pay dividends and seem des-
tined to be abandoned.
This reminds Us that the road be-
tween Norwich and New London when
built was regarded as a wildcat enter
prise; but the founder of it, Z. P.
Shaw, never faltered, and although it
was one Of the highest-cost roads per
mile ever buiIt in New England at
that time, it has been one of the
steady dividend-paying roads from the
year it was opened.
The territory where roads are to be
built in these days is most carefully
looked over; and all the methods of
procedure are better and saner The
electric roads now being projected are
successful

A GREAT HARp.coAL YEAR.

We are surprised to learn that the
year 1911 has been a disappointment to
the coal barons because of an over
production Of coal which knocked the
prices down.
The government reports show that
the production of coal in the year
which is just closing was second only
to that of last year, when the half
billion-ton mark was passed, Accord
ing to the government figures, this has
been one of The most unsatisfactory
years in the coal business, notwith-
standing the large amount of coal
mined. 1t is another instance of over
production, it is claimed, which has
tended to force down prices, which is
something the consumers in this sec
ton of the country have remained
totally unaware of, since last winters
prices have been continued hereabouts.
For the coal barons, it is said that
when the total returns for the year
are footed up, the balance will prob
ably be on the wrong side of the
ledger.
IN the same report the soft-coal
mining business is said to have been
conducted at a loss, and the trade is
said to have been "demoralized ano

A TURKEY TIP.

Can you clean a turkey?
OF course
But do you draw the sinews?
Perhaps not
First Mr.. Turkeys feet are removed,
To do this cut the skin ut the side of
the leg, running the knife lightly over
the top.
Bend the leg back until the sinews
on top are exposed, and make the at
tack with a wooden skewer or strong
fork.
These sinews are Ioosened one by
one and pulled carefully out. thus
making the leg of the bird perfectly
tender.
TO get the Iigaments on the under
side, cut through the tough muscle at
the point and draw out one at time.
The same holds good in cleaning a
chicken, and one who aspires to fine
cookery must not neglect this detail.

LIVE $50 YEARS



old age is simply a disease" say
some of the European scientists now.
They hold that with proper attention
to diet people should live $50 years.
We don't know how true that is.
But We do know that great numbers
of elderly and aged people feel and
lCok younger than they are because
they build up with Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron remedy without oil.
Mrs. Michael Bloom, of Lewistowni
Pa, SO years of age, had to be wheeled
around in an invalid's chair before
she began taking Vinol, and after us
ing a few bottles was able to so out
walking alone, and do most Of her
houseworl1 too. That shows how Vinol
strengthens feeble people.
1t sharpens the appetite, makes the
blood rich and causes it to circulate

Vinol very soon. We guarantee that
Vinol will please you and pay back
your money if it does not. Broadway

NEW oRpER no AuroMoRILIsrs.

The state railroad commissioners of
Massachusetts have ordered that be-
fore July LIST half the touring cars
shall be equipped with lifting jacks
for use in emergencies.
Speaking of this law, the Worcester
Gazette says:
There is good reason for congratu-
lation, however, in the fact that a
start has been made in the matter of
providing jacks, even for but half the
cars. 1t means that there will be
fewer grewsome speetacles Of persons
suffering with the weight of car on
their bodies than there have been
in the past. for the reasons th',t no
means were at hand for raising the
car"
Here in Connecticut many cars car

number is increasing all the time be-
