NEW RATES OF FARE
 IN EFFECT AT ONCE.
Permission From Interstate Commerce Commission to Norwich Westerly and Groton- stonninston.

Announcement was made on Sunday to the patrons of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company and the Groton and Stonington Street Railway company that the new trolley fares under the copper zone system would go into effect on Monday morning. The Shore Line Electric Railway Go. received permission Saturday to make the change.
 On the Groton and Stonington line there will be III slight increases of fare and 95 slight decreases.
 The new schedule was delayed by the action of the town of Stonington in town meeting, but now the inter state commerce commission finds that the proposed change in car fares is justified and has instructed the road to carry out its plan.
 There is to be but one change from the original plans. That is in reia- ton to the school tickets in the town of Stonington, which will remain as they are now for a little while. un- tfl satisfactory adjustment is made.
 In Massachusetts cities and towns the six cent carfare has been adopted but here the Shore Line system plans to charge patrons according to the mileage they ride.
 While the service given to the pub lie by the roads has been at an ever increasing standard as to safety and reliability. practically every item from track labor to management costs more than it did four years ago which has made it necessary to meet this ad- vance in operating cost by readjust- ment of trolley fares. It is consider ed that the copper zone system is the most eQuable that has been devised for the travelling public.

WISE WORDS A Physician on Food

A western physician has views about food. He says:
 T have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe 1t to humanity to teach them how to protect their health especially by hygienic and dietetic laws.
 With such feeling as to my duty take great pleasure in saying, that, in my own experience and also from personal observation, have found no food to equal Grape-Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and con- valescence.
 'It is my experience that no phy- sical condition forbids the use of there is nothing so nourishing and ac- ceptable to the stomach, especially at breakfast, to start the machinery of the human system on the days work
 Tn cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape Nuts and cream; and I think it is necessary not to overload the stom- ach at the morning meal. also know the great value of Grape Nuts when the stomach is too weak to digest other food.
 ''This is written after an experience of more than 20 years treating all manner of chronic and acute diseases, and the letter is voluntary on my part without any request for it."

SURE OF THE CRAVE.
The One Thing Upon Which Every
 Mortal Can Count, Rev. F. ]. kustsr
 Reminds St. Patriek's Congregation.

Heminos crs raxrfck1 Gon0re8axioH.
 The fact that yesterday was the last Sunday of the ecclesiastical year suggested the topic of Rev. Francis ?. kuster's sermon at the high mass in St. Patrick's church. after he had read the gospel for the Sunday, which was Matt. XHV, 15-35. In this Christ warns his disciples of the second com ing of the Son of Man for the gen. eral judgment.
 The preacher reminded his attentive auditors that the one thing of which every human being can be certain is that he is on the path to the grave. Sooner or later this Is the fate of all.
 If now sinners call upon God for mercy, they can be assured 1t will not
 be in vain: He will forgive. as the
 loving father in the parable forsave
 the Prodigal Son; as Christ in His infinite compassion forgave the pen ftent Magdalene.
 But there will come a day when the cry for mercy will be too late When, with the peoples. past and pres. ent. of the universe as witnesses ev- cry man shall be judged.
 On that dread day Christ will come as a Master-to those who have choser
 other masters during their lives; aa | an Adjuster-to correct what in this
 world seem like inequalities, the trials of the righteous and the fiourishing oi I the sinful, as an Avenger-to dea with all men in exact justice, and al a Rewarder-to mete out to each tha;
 which his earthly life has merited. l It is well, the preacher said. evel to keep this day of general judgmen l in mind. Man need not fear it, if only l the duties and tasks of each day b, done in the best possible manner ant | if he treat his neighbor literally ai his neighbor. Conforming one's Tiff,
 to Gods commandments is the onl,
 way to make sure of hearing, afte the narrowing partings and separation | of the last judgment, the welcom, l Christ has foretold: Come. ye blessed 1 of My Father. possess the Kingdom prepared for you since the beginnin; | of the world

FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED
 TO BATH STREET. Sagging Wire Caused Bell to Sound Mistaken Information.

A sagging electric light wire on Thames street blown against one of the wires of the fire alarm system caused the alarm to strike twice just hefore o'clock Saturday afternoon. When the bell struck someone who was near the Central station at the time shouted that there was a fire on Bath street, and to be on the Eafe side the apparatus responded. The com panies went as far as Franklin square. but as no fire could be located they at once returned to the station.
 The strokes came in just as a large crowd of football enthusiasts were on the way down Bath street from the Academy to take cars at the square, and the sudden appearance of the crowd and the fire apparatus gave the impression that there was a large fire. Chief Stanton set out immediately af- terwards and soon discovered the sag ging light wire as the cause of the trouble with the fire alarm system.
