URIC ACID IN MEAT
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may save
 you from dread attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author ity. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a table, spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys tC normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impuritnes.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid, and is beneficial to your kidneys as well

Secrets of the Movlna Pictures.

It takes a certain amount of time to affect the eye. You do not see things instantaneously. If you move a light ed cigar in a dark room very rapidly you see what is apparently a contin- uous curve of light.
 The motion pictures reproduce movements faithfully for the same reason. Before the eye has a chance to see a picture in its entirety new picture is flashed on the screen. The pictures appear and vanish at the rate of sixteen a second, in other words, so rapidly that the effect of continu- ous motion is produced.
 Advantage is taken of this to pro- duce very curious and unnatural ef- fects;; for example, an old building tearing itself down, hole digging it. self in the ground. a skysCrapper growing up from a foundation with out the aid of human hands. The camera operator has simply taken a picture of the demolition of the old building and the construction of the skyscraper at the rate of perhaps one an hour, but projects them all in twenty minutes.-Popular Science Monthly.

THE QUESTION OF MAKING OR
 BUYING ELECTRICITY.

Ever since the question of making a new contract for supplying the city with electric current has been under consideration much uncertainty has existed in the minds of the citizens as to whether it was more advisable to purchase such an amount of electric ity as 1t was possible to buy and have delivered at the plant ready to be stepped down and distributed, or to maintain the steam plant, and re-equip it for the additional load which it will be required to handle if those seeking more current are going to be supplied. There were few if any informing figures available which would throw light on the situation but The Bulle- tin has been to considerable expense to ascertain the cost of operating mu- nicipal plants in Massachusetts, as fur nished in it's issue of February r where it was shown that the cost of production averaged $0.031 a kilowatt hour.
 In today's issue figures are present. ed which show the cost of production at the local plant for the past ten years and nine months, the average cost of producing the electricity being s0.G367 a kilowatt hour, all of the ex-
 
 If Norwich is going to prepare for the new business which is in sight and that Is what it must do for the business which would require the doubling of the steam plant is in sight, it means an additional outlay at the plant of $100,000 at the least which would contribute to the cost of production.
 Thus if the matter is viewed from a business standpoint, which certain ly ought to get serious consideration and the city can get a certain amount of current at $0011 kilowatt hour and Is able to contract for the re- matnder or a substantial portion o1 it for a figure slightly in excess o1 that amount and at the same time save the appropriation of a large sun for additions to the plant it would appear to be the wise thing to do. Thi: is a view which must appeal to al citizens who give serious thought tt the situation.
 If Norwich can save a third of tht cost of each kilowatt hour by having a contract with one or more produc ing companies it appears to be good business proposition and one a least which the commissioners mus ISA~~o AAAIO SOiIoluCIa aIloI1, III dOuIIIOu I' the fact that the cost of production has been showing a, slight increase fo the past two and three-quarter years
 By comparison with the figure which other cities are paying for thei municipal lighting Norwich is gettin. attractive results, and nothing should be done now which will interfere witt those in q way to cause an increase A lowered cost of production, how ever, Is bound to result to the benefi of the municipality and the users O electric current, a fact which mus be kept constantly in mind.

FEDERAL ROAD BUILDING.

Even though this is not the most favorable time to advocate the ex- penditure of government funds for the purpose of constructing good roads about the country even under the most careful arrangement, it is being pushed with much persistency. Such would be a new departure. It would mean an endless expenditure of fed eral money, for once started there would be no limit to the demands which would be made from all sec tions of the country.
 Objections are being raised to it be- cause it is believed that the money would be spent upon local post roads instead of going towards the devel- opment and betterment of interstate highways, and others feel that the building and maintenance of highways is a matter which should be left to the respective states, and that states which are already spending large sums for that purpose ought not to be bur dened further through federal taxa ton in order to provide roads for the states which are unwilling to spend their own money for such con- struction.
 However if the bill for national good TOauS IS IOOkeO upon with Ia- vor at Washington to such an extent that the appropriation will be voted there should be careful attention given to the plan under which the money is to be expended and the character o1 the roads which are to be built. Mil lions upon millions have been wasted by states because too little thought was given to this, and the money which was voted for good roads was virtually thrown away. Though it is not always the case where government money is used, the plans under which

NEW FEATURE OF sEAMEN's ACT

The additional provision of the sea mems act which was delayed until the measure had been in force for a year has now gone into effect. It has not come without a thorough understand ing on the part of ship owners as to what is required and in obedience to the additional requirements there have been steps taken by those affected to meet the situation.
 The law as it has stood up to this time applied to all vessels of domestic registry but the new feature which went into effect Saturday concerns ships of foreign registry which enter American ports. Under this the crews of such vessels have the right to de- mand half of their wages when the vessels upon which they shipped come into American jurisdiction. They all so have the right to leave their en- ployment upon such ships and go to others where there may be better con- ditions and better pay, so that hence forth 1t will not mean that when they ship on foreign vessels which come to American ports they can be forced to return with that ship Objections of various kinds have been raised to this condition and the claim is made that it will lead to the | dissipation of a large amount of the wages which such employees would or
 dinarily carry back home to theil families even though no change in em- ployment is made while the ship or 1 which they sailed is in American Wa l ters.
 With shipping as 1t is at the pres
 ent time with war complications impos. ing conditions which makes it impos- 1 sible to get enough vessels to handle
 the business that Is piling up await, l ing foreign delivery, the effect of this 1 addition to the seamen's law is fol
 the time being discounted, but there
 will nevertheless be plenty of oppor. tunity for studying it's effects and a.
 soon as conditions get back to norma
 the chance to pick out the justice o,
 the injustice of the act will be fur, nished.

THE RAIDER MoEWE.

New laurels have been won by the commander and crew of the German raider Moewe if the report that it has reached a nome port" means that 1t has gotten safely to Wilhelmshaven. Boldness has characterized its opera tions from the very start and by the adherence to the rights of commerce destroyers 1t has succeeded in sinking or seizing r merchant ships of the allies besides being responsible for the destruction of a battleship by the mines which it distributed.
 From the strict patrol which 1t is claimed that Great Britain maintains in the North sea it has been repeated ly ridiculed when announcements have been made to the effect that certain ships of the German navy were plan ming a dash to the Atlantic, yet the commander of the Moewe has demon strated that it is not only possible to get out but to get back also, and the latter accomplishment is all the more clever since there was supposed to be special guard to prevent it.
 That the Moewe used disguises and took advantage of flags of other na- tions is to be believed, and 1t can be appreciated that it proflted extensive ly from the wireless communications which passed between other ships, while it remained silent and went where danger was the least apparent The Moewe has been and still remains much of mystery but the part which 1t has successfully played as a com merce raider is bound to receive a prominent place in the history of the war; The Emden came in for much attention in the early days of the conflict by its daring operations but the Moewe eclipses it in that it was able to get back home after one o1 the most sensational escapades of the l war

Bridgeport, which has a direct inter
 est in the railroads that center in
 this city. would be very much incon-
 venienced if the powers that be should
 see fit to divorce the NaugatUCk di-
 vision from the New York division.
 Making the "Naugy' a seperate road would be but subterfuge if the pres
 ent conditions of cooperation were to
 continue. or there would have to be an iron-clad agreement such as now exists. Either the New Haven officials
 must have supervision of the \auga-
 tuck division or there would be chaos at times. What excuse can be offered for separating the Naugatuck from the main line is very much in doubt. There would be as much reason for discon-
 meeting the Berkshire. Why a road
 existing wholly in the state of Con
 neCticut should be cut off by a Mas sachusetts commission and other roads which extend beyond the confines of this state, retained as part of the sys- tenn. is difficult to conceive. Certain ly Bridgeport is satisfied with present conditions and resents any attempt to return the leased road to the owners, who, doubtless, are better satisfied
 with the conditions of the lease than | they would be to attempt to operate the line themselves. Let Massachu-
 setts leave Connecticut roads alone

The Federal Reserve board wires the Federal Reserve bank at Cleve- land notifying it of the credit enter ed in Washington and it turns over the credit on demand to whatever bank the sellers of the plant at Cleve- land may use. In other words, the Federal Reserve system has created at Washington a large national clearing fund to facilitate the exchange of money which really means to facili- tate the transaction of all business - between sections of the country.

Tt was indeed a fr1ghtful experi- ence," sighed the girl who likes to talk. T was not in the frame of mind to appreciate it fully, either. think that one has to be gay and blithesome before the spirit of any situation can really take hold of one and that day the world was draped in black.

 Tt had good reason to hurt, too! The specialist to whom had gone had filled it with cotton and medicine and told me nonchalantly to go and sit in the anteroom a half hour while he tor tured some one else.
 'It was @ busy hive, that anteroom! Opening upon it were the doors lead ing to half @ dozen specialists private offices and the place was strewn with the victims like myself. Everybody looked glum and misanthropic and not at all as though yearning for a pleas ant chat. For that matter, neither did regard possible conversation with anything like interest. l couldn't imagine anything I wanted to do more than be let entirely alone. I wanted to sit and brood upon the iniquity ot noses in general and the superextra iniquity of having to have a nose whether one wanted it or not. At | that moment a nose to me seemed the most useless, foolish, absurd posses sion a person might have.

American citizens, who are not bound by any ties to the warning na- tiOns must be amused if not amazed at the charges of disloyalty to this country made against anybody eX- pressing sympathy with one or two of the belligereut powers. The war in
 Europe is really none of our affairs and it is safe to say that the great
 bulk of the American people want to
 keep clear of conviction with it. It is terrible enough to read of the hor- TOTS of war so far away, and it would be a crime against humanity to mix up in it All sorts of trickery has been resorted to to get the United States into the war and every true American should hope that these ef- forts will be in vain.-New Britain Record.

and attend strictly to its own knitting Bridgeport Standard.

The recovery of s1,25o. 900 from John L. Billiard of MeriCen, and others, by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad is an incident that causes profound ratification on the part of all who believe in honest business, for it is a matter that concerns the pub lice at large as well as the officials and stockholders of the railroad. The New Haven railroad when under Mel len regime was footed in a most sen satiOnal as well as a complete, cold blooded and ruthless manner. 1t is reassuring 70 learn that some of the money can be recovered, even from those who with assistance of news paper organs have ychemCntly de- clared innocence and clean hands in the face of amazing disclosures.

C.. that the essential facts concerning the building of concrete roads are so sim pie that a municipality can safely make it a rule to lay its own concrete. The advantages of this method. in any properly conducted city. are twOfOlG. In the first place, the city saves itself the contractors profit; and in the sec Ond place, all trouble or question as to the repair and maintenance Of the road is at once eliminated. The three essentials of d concrete mixture are cement, sand and stone. and none of these is. or ever can be a monopoly. The cement may be purchased from any one of an indefinite number of cement makers, in open competition. The sand and stone can be obtained right at home; not only that, but as a rule. right on the jOb". where the road is to be put down. thus saving the very important item of transport alton of such heavy material Bridgeport Telegram.
