is not as large as that paid on the es.
tate of the late William Hood Dun.
woody of Minneapolis, appraised at
6 $500. 900, but the rate of tax on the
Dunwoody estate was much larger,
because OF requests to charity. on

uncovered approximately 9 1864 900 in
stock of the different Weyerhaeuser

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
tBy Valentino Mott pi.er. Al ~

tBy Valentine Mott Pierre. NJ. ID,
"A close connection exists between these
two-cold weather and rheumatism.
FroI. Alex. Haig. OF London, has tine
most followers in the medical profession
in the belief that the presence in the sys-
TEN OF uric acid, or Its salts in excess, is
the real cause OF rheumatism. Every one
has recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as it gets
cold; there is often a copious sediment Of
''brickdust'
Several causes may lead up to an accu-
mutation of uric acid in the system,
which in turn. cause rheumatis or govt.
or creaky joints. swollen fingers, or pain
full joints. For one reason the skin does
not throw off the uric acid, by profuse
sweating. as in the hot weather and the
, kidneys are unable to take care of the
double burden. Another reason is that
people do not drink as much water in
cold weather as In summer, which helps
to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat
more meat in cold weather, and some peo-
pie are so susceptible that they soon de-
veiop rheumatism after eating meat
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, a pint morn
ing and night. and take Anurlc three or
four time day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost any
drug store. 1t dissolves the uric acid in
the system and carries it outward

The following decisions have been
made public by the Maine Public Utili-
ties Commission:
Oquossoe Light and Power Co.
Tne Public Utilities Commission has
rendered a decision authorizing Tom
hnson & Colby to sell and convey its
rights and privileges to the Oouossoc
Light and Power Co. and granting
permission to the Oquossoc Light and
Power Co. to issue securities.
The decision states that William
Iomlinson and F. B. Colby, associated
together as Tomlinson & Colby, con-
stltute an electrical utility in the
town of Rangeley owning the power
plant, or generating system, which is
used as part of the equipment for
lighting streets and buildings in that
village. They are the successors of
Mackenzie & Colby. who owned the
property and operated the same prior
to July l. 1916. The distribution sys-
TEN Is owned by the Rangeley Light
and Power Company.
The Oquossoc Light and Power Co.
is incorporated under Chapter 1877.
Private and Special Laws of 1915, as
an electrical company, with the DOW
ers. rights and privileges therein
enumerated, including rights of emf
nent domain. 1t may issue capital
stock not exceeding $4,000. and mort
gage bonds "at no time in excess of the
amount Of capital stock issued" It
has organized and issued without the
approval of this commission qualify
ing shares amounting to $500. It has
operated the lighting plant since July
l. 1916, having entered into an agrees
ment with Tomlinson & Colby for the
purchase of their property devoted to
the business and using the distribu-
ton system of the Rangeley Light and
rover Company, for the purchase of
which negotiations are now pending.
The Oquossoc Light and Power Co,
wishes to purchase, and Tomlinson &
Colby to sell. the property for $4,000.
1t also wishes to issue it's common
stock to the amount Of $4,000, all to
secure funds with which to purchase
the Tomllnson & Colby property. the
Rangeley Light and Power Co. prop
erty, flowage rights, and land for the
location Of pole line from Kennebago
Falls to Oquossoc, and for the con-
struction and equipment of an electri-
cal power plant and transmission and
distribution system.
The evidence presented at the hear
ing fully supported the allegations
contained in the several petitions and
justif1es favorable action thereon, 1t
appearing that the Tomlinson & Colby
property cost about $4,000 and IL now in
fair Condition. and that the transfer
carries with 1t a substantial estab-
lished business.
