CITY INDEBTEDNESS.

When 1t is almost impossible to dis cern growth in other things indebt- edness can be relied upon to keep ever lastingly at it. Debt grows where other things perish. Norwich has just negotiated a bond issue amounting to $479,000 to cover municipal improve ments and floating indebtedness, and at the present market conditions has made a. good sale whereby the per naanent interest charge on that large amount of borrowed money has been appreciably reduced. It brings the city's bonded indebtedness to the total of s1, 415,000, a record amount.
 Thus while Norwich is still with in its borrowing capacity and headed in the direction of an increased rath- CT than a decreased debt it is doing so less rapidly than many others It will surprise many people to learn that the net debt of the 146 leading cities of the United States increased from $900,178, ,161 in 1902 to $1,803,129, in 1911, little over 100 per cent Tn that same period the net debt of the federal government increased from $969, 457,241 to $1,o15,7S4338 or only 4.S per cent. The per capita debt of the United States as a whole actually decreased, the increase in population having been much greater than the debt increase, so that the per capita debt was in 1911 s1O.S3 to $1224 in 1902. The per capita debt of the 14e cities in the same period increased from $4419 to $67.31 or to sum six times greater than the per capita tax of the United States.
 In bonding this additional debt o1 the city a saving of several thousand dollars a year has been made for Nor wich- Since debts are more easily incurred than discharged, attention should now be turned to securing z decrease before there is an increase in it's indebtedness.

GRADE CROSSING WORK.

The need of eliminating dangerous grade crossings requires no comment in those communities of the state where they exist. Such reconstruction Is bound to be one of the big factors in the prevention of the unnecessary taking of life, the instances of which at these points reaches to a consider able number during the course of a year
 When however after following orders and accomplishing much relief in that direction, the New Haven road comes before the public utilities commissions of the states in which it operates and asks for relief until their financial con- d1tlon will permit the carrying out of the orders which have been issued for the abolition of certain crossings. it must be recognized as an emergency appeal which should receive full con- sideration. The demand follows the new policy of the road to keep with in its means and it must be conceded that the Massachusetts commission in the recognition of the soundness of the request, took a broad and sensible view, and recognized a chance for the state to help the railroad over a tick fish point
 This is one of the ways in which the state can assist the system to get onto its feet under the new policy of not living beyond its means. The road is at present passing through a finan- cial crisis and certainly the states in which 1t operates have a vital interest in its upbuilding. The quicker it can get onto it's feet the better it will be for all New England and the quicker can the crossing elimination be re- stunned without endangering the finances of the system. It seems to be case of safety first in the finan- ciaI as we'll as the operating depart ment.

hair began to fall out and later my
scalp began to itch terribly and my
hair was full of dandruff. There were
pimples broke out on my scalp, espe-
cially around the edge Of my hair
Sometimes I would wake up at night

itching. My hair came out in hand
fuls when combed 1t. 1t was dry and
lifeless and the dandruff was SO thick

the time for five OF six months. When

started using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
