For Rheumatic
 Neuralgia Pains
Rheuma Dissolves the Uric Acid Which Settles in the
 Tissues of Tender Nerves

Rheumatic neuralgia is oIie of the most painful forms of rheumatism. It is due to weak kidneys allowing set- clement of uric acid in the tissues of the body near the tender nerves. There is no swelling or fever, but agonizing pain. Liniments may dead en the pain, but the disease must be cured through the kidneys
 Rheuma, the splendid remedy for all forms of rheumatism, quickly dissolves the uric acid crystals and passes them off through the kidneys and bowels, and the immediate relief is so pro- nounced that you won't guess you are being rid of rheumatisnl-you will know it.
 "I suffered with rheumatic-neura1- gia for six years. Tried different rem edies. but was not benefited until l used Rheun1a. I have taken three bot ties and am entirely free from the dis ease. was so bad I could not sleep nights; now I sleep well, and my kid neys work perfectly."-P. w. Miller, Catawissa, Pa.
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma, and will return your money if not satisfied. It is inexpensive, but worth many times it's cost.

TRESPASS ON RAILROAD
 FATAL, TO 422 PERSONS
In Last Three Years-3e4 Tnjured- Short Cut Habit Largely Respon- sihIe,

The New Haven railroad is not af- hliated by the genus hobo to-the ex- tent that some railroads are. Yet in the last three years .422 persons have been killed and 5s4 injured while tres- passing on that railroads property. Many of those injured were maimed for life.
 In the majority of cases these per sons were not tramps at all, They were persons using the railroad right of 1Fay as g. convenient highway, gen erally to make a short cut, or boys or young men stealing rides on freight trains to get to places quickly.
 IT you walk along a railroad in England, believing you can thereby see the country better or get home more quickly, you are arrested and taken before a local magistrate, who fined up to $50 and imprisoned for two months and there, too, the law is strictly enforced. In France, unless you have a permit, you cannot walk the tracks without great danger of being fined and even jailed. In Ger many the penalties range up to $25.
 Only 13 states in this country have thus far followed the example of these European countries in having laws forbidding such use of railroad property. These states are. Maine. New Hampshire. Massachusetts. Rhode ASidnN, 1N6W 1N6W jersey, WIS consin, Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Missouri, Minnesota and Washington. The penalties prescribed range all the way from $5 fine and 10 days in jail in Maine to $500 fine and a year in jail in New York.
 In Connecticut and Vermont, the two New England states which at present have no such laws, legislation of this character is now pending. Connecticut has had a law prohibiting lettering about a railroad station or grounds s, but the legislation now pending would amplify this by fixing a penalty of from $10 to $100 or Imprisonment for not more than 30 days for railroad d trespassing of any kind. In all the other states whose legislature are in session this year similar legislation has been introduced, with the object of saving thousands of lives that are needlessly thrown away year after year.

MRS. suLLrs SHOP FAILS.
Charged to Cook, Who Carried Of
 Recipe for Its Prize Cake.

Because the cook had left and taken the prize recipe, the Lady Baltimore Cake Shop, Inc, at 300 Madison ave- nue. New York, of which Mrs. Emma F. Sully of Watch Hill, R. l., is presi- dent, went into bankruptcy Wednes- day. No one in the place could re- member what to put into Lady Balti- more cake. Mrs. sully is the wife of Daniel J: Sully. one time Cotton King" who failed in 1904 with liabili- ties of $6,000,000, says the New York Times.
 Maurice P. Davidson, the assignee, explained Wednesday night that when some Of the help had been discharged several months ago they had spoiled the cake and the shops reputation by sabotage" Then the head cook left, taking with him the baking recipes, and the company could no longeP fill its orders. The shop had a large pat ronage. it is asserted, and MT. David son Is anxious to find someone who knows how to bake Lady Baltimore cake. There will probably be a reor- ganization. =.
 The Lady Baltimore Cake Shop was incorporated June 10, 1914, with a capital stock of $5o,oOO. Besides Mrs. SuIIy, the officers were John L. LOT dau, secretary, and G. c. RuggIes treasurer. The liabilities are S16,O0G with assets of about $3,000.
 The failure of Mrs. SuIly's cake shop recalls the venture of MT. Sully in 1912 into. the business of turning into an inn his beautiful home at Watch Hill: a-' '. .-. ""
 Many Norwich people have visited this fine inn, Kenneth Ridge, and will regret to hear of Mrs 'Sully's failure The. former Cotton King always felt an interest in Norwich, having pur- chased his first, bale. of cotton from the late Gen. William G. Ely of this city,. -
