NORWICH RATES
 COMPARED WITH OTHERS
City Gets Decided Benefit Through the
 Operation of Its Own Plant.

In this city the cost of the street lighting is much lower than in the other cities of Connecticut, a fact which Is attributed to the provision that the city gets its lighting at the cost of operation, which brings the arc lamps down to $49.44 each, while for the incandescents there is a cost Of S7.S2. There is a charge of s17.50 per week for the care of the lights, to which is added the cost of cartoons and globes. These lights are maintained all night.
 Lights in other cities are of various types, some having no arc lights, while others have two or more sizes of in candescents, and in some instances contracts are made with lighting com panies for nights when there is no moon.
 South Norwalk came as near as any other to the local rates, and there a municipal plant is operated. There all service is supplied on the 4,0O0 hour basis per year, or every night and all night. For magnetic and enclosed arc l lights there is received $54 for each | lamp. For the incandescent Mazda 1 250 candlepower lamps S27 and fol | those of 80 candlepower $1O.s0.

Don't drink whiskey if you have rheumatism, and be sure and keep your feet warm and dry, and drink plenty of lemonade
 This advice says an authority, is helping; but as all know who have suffered, rheumatism is a stubborn disease and yields only to a remedy mighty enough to conquer 1t.
 Many doctors have prescribed and hundreds of helpful druggists have ad- vised a half teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day, because they know that powerful Rheuma, harmless as 1t is, acts with speed and overcomes in a few days the most torturing case of rheumatism or sciatica-
