DEMANDS FULL COOPERATION.

essgsMost every line of business has felt
: the {.effect of the freight congestion
which has existed for a number of
weeks. Consideration has been given
to the transportation of necessities
and in that connection it is to be re-
allied that the recent order issued by
the New Haven road to the effect that
the existing embargoes would be lifted
for a period of four days means the
granting of a certain amount of added
relief in this direction.
This suspension of the embargoes
ends at midnight tonight, by which
Hne there will have been many car
: loads and partial carloads receipt ed
esfor by the carrier which will go for
ward in their regular turn, but sooner
than as if there have been no effort
made to help out business houses and
Industries which are in need of NOV
gcsmateria1 in one direction or the
Aether.
~ While the road announces that this
action must not be taken as meaning
that there has been any easing up in
The congestion, it does mean that the
5road recognizes the Importance of ex-
etending this assistance and insofar
as it is possible meet the demands
that are constantly being made upon
IT. as soon as the existing situation
will permit it to do so. This means
Increased efforts even though the en-
deavors have been such in the past
as to push the road to the limit, and
its but a reasonable request which
the road makes in connection with
this embargo suspension when it ur-
gently asks that orders to load
material be not made unless there is
real need of it to meet immediate
necessities. The situation calls fol
e@closest cooperation upon the par
Ofsthe shippers and the road, since by
-such can the only satisfactory results

AND FEEL FINE.

Tonight sure! Remove the liver and
bowel poison which is keeping your
head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath
offensive and stomach sour. Don't stay
bilious, sick, headachy. constipated and
full of cold. Why don't you get a box
of Cascarets from the drug store now ?
Eat ore or two tonight and enjoy the
incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleans
ing you ever experienced You will
wake up feeling fit and fine. Cascarets
never grippe or bother you all the next
day like calofel, salts and pills. They
act gently but thoroughly. Mothers
should give cross, sick, bilious or few
erish children a whole Cascaret any
time. They are harmless and children
love them.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Although it has been accepted as a
general truth that strikes more COM
monty occur in times of industrial high
tension than in periods of slackness,
the sum total of labor troubles
throughout Rhode Island has not been
large during the present season of
special activity in manufacturing
plants. In Pawtucket a strike of
three weeks duration has been de-
clared off and an important textile
plant is reported as again running on
full time.-Providence Bulletin.
With some reluctance, the Massa-
chusetts legislatures committee on
election laws has voted to report IA
vorably just the measure now in
force in Connecticut, providing that
ten per cent of the voters must petit
ton for a vote on the question of Ii
| censing the sale of liquor, or there
shall be no vote. There is some dis
agreement as to whether this law is
a success in Connecticut, but 1t is as
much to the advantage of one side
as to the other and it prevents some
needless voting-New Haven Register,

y With only one company in contro!
of the lighting of the streets of Bridge
port, the city will be left in total dark
ness in case of a complete disabling
accident to the equipment OF that
company. That is the negative aspect
of the charge made by the common
council in the method Of operating the
small street lamps from gas to electric
ity. But this contingency is a remote
one-it has never happened In the his
tory of the city. The United Illumin-
ating company has two widely sep
arated power plants, and 1t is unlikely
that both could be put out of business
simultaneously, even by great fire.
On the other hand, there are many ad-
vantages derived from the change
First, the new lights WILL cost less
Second, they will be Of greater power.
And third they will be far more de-
pendable and very much more con-
trollable in their turning off and
turning on. The gas lighting system
now in use is operated by one Of the
biggest companies in the business or
murtcipa street lighting, and presum-
ably represents the best practice in
that respect. Yet the service has re-
suited in a regular gist of complaints,
of lights turned on and off at the
wrong time, of lights burning in the
daytime and out at night. There
should be no such complaints with the

Norwich Should Make Itself indie
pendent of All.

pendent of All.
Mr.. Editor:-In an editorial March
you implied that we could save
one-third of the cost per kilo watt
hour by having a contract with one
or more producing companies" and
therefore, lit appears to be a good
business proposition, and one which
the commissioners must take into
consideration" 1 thought at the time
that this should be answered and
hoped that someone else would do so.
Now in today's paper Another Large
Taxpayer, under the heading, Why
Not Run 1t on Business Principles?
asks IF electricity can be bought for
one cent kilo watt, why make it at
three cents? If it can be bought for
less than it costs to make, why spend
a single dollar on boilers? ?"
Mr.. Bogue, the ex-superintendent,
and Mr.. Kehoe, the present superin-
tendent, both claim that it can be
manufactured for less than one cent
per kilo watt. One reason why it
costs more is because we are nearly
half the time keeping our present
plant idle, but with practically all the
expense of running going on, that We
may buy of the Uncas Power Co, if
they have it to sell.
Remember that SOIL per kilo watt
is the charge at the station and that
to this must be added all overhead
office expense, depreciation, ETC., and
unless you can sign up with someone
beside the Uncas Power Co., you must
maintain and pay for the maintaining
| of a plant capable of taking up the
work at any time.
The cost of keeping the plant ready
| and idle is nearly as great as keep.
| ing it going, so that the power is par
| of the time costing quite or moRt
| than double what it would to make it
The Uncas Power Co. cannot fur.
| nish at all times all the power want
| ed. If, as we expect, the demand in
| creases then you have got to expen(
| more money or find another sourc'
| from which to purchase more power
| The city Of Norwich should sign nj
contracts with any company but
| make itself independent Of all.

1t is we'll TO know that the city au-
thorities of both Waterbury and
Bridgeport are taking measures to dis
courage the carrying of concealed
weapons. Our city court has just fin
ed a prisoner 500 for carrying a re
volver and in Bridgeport, the judge Of
the city court sent a similar culprit to
Jail for six months. But the revolver
carrying habit should be taxed to
death, not in the city court, but at it's
source. Where do the revolvers come
from? From hardware stores, and sec
ond-h dealers. A man with a
grUdge to serve can buy a cheap re-
volver from a pawnbroker for two
dollars and kill his man with It. 1t
has been proved in court that it hap
pened right in this town in a notorious
murder plotted and CRIED out in cold
blood. Instead of making ii necessary
to obtain a permit to carry a revolver,
why not compel man to get a per-
init before he can buy one, and make II
a misdemeanor to either buy or sell a

thorities why it is considered neCes-
sary to own one?-Waterbury Republ-

Aside from the law on the subject,
common decency would dictate that
sidewalks be cleaned as soon and as
thoroughly as possible after a snow
storm. Just because Snowstorms have
been daily occurrences lately is no rea-
son why the householder should ne
elect his sidewalk. The action Of the
police in obtaining warrants for sew
eral well-known citizens may act as a
warning to less distinguished persons
and may lead to a general cleaning OF
walks In some sections of the city
the residents seem to take pride in
having their walks cleaned not only
after a storm, but during It. so that
walks are kept passable at all times.
In other sections the only time the
walks are cleaned is when the sun
melts the snow. Let us hope that,
with or without the assistance of the
police people generally will endeaYor
to keep their walks clean for the sake
of the passerby. just as they desire TO
have decent walking conditions them
selves.-Bridgepor Standard.

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Norwich Household.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Norwich read CTS.
 Mrs. c. E. Fowler, 5s1 East Main Street, Norwich. says: T am very seldom without Doan's Kidney Pills in the house, which I buy at The Lee & Osgood Go. have attacks of back ache, which come on from cold. Sometimes overwork brings on dull pains across my kidneys. I don't use Doan's Kidney Pills continually but only when my back aches and feels weak and then I have never failed to get relief. have always heard Doan's Kidney Pills well spoken of and I rec ommend them highly in view of my own experience with them"
